Hello,
This whole process is not something I have not gone through before, add in the chip shortage, and it's completely foreign. I was just reading an article that the Ford Mexico plant will be going to one shift for a week this month and that production of the Maverick will be impacted.
I would have to think the preorders are at least 50,000 trucks... how many trucks can Ford make in a day??? I would think we are at least Summer 2022 before these 50,000 preorders are filled??? Am I way off or is this an accurate estimate? If they can spit out 100 new trucks a day, do the math and 365 days is 36,500. But I have no idea how many trucks are sitting premanufactured or if 100 in a day is even close to the number actually produced?
I am trying to figure out if I need to throw in the towel and purchase another model truck (I need a truck) and do not want to wait 12 months or longer only to find out it will be even longer. Now is the time to sell our used cars.
Thanks,
Dustin
