As Ford Authority reported earlier this year, allocation formulas for popular new Blue Oval products including the Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport favor larger dealers in more populated areas, while reservations weren’t necessarily being filled in the order they were received, either. This came as a bit of a shock to some, and many wondered if this also applied to 2022 Ford Maverick orders, as the new compact pickup has also proven to be a red-hot commodity. However, it appears that this isn’t the case, according to FoMoCo itself.
Ford recently posted in the Maverick Truck Club forums to let customers know that 2022 Ford Maverick orders are in fact being scheduled when they’re received. “Traditionally, we have allocated vehicles to dealerships based on historical sales data, which helped determine the scheduling of orders,” the post reads. “While we initially followed this process for Maverick, we quickly pivoted when customer demand exceeded expectations. As a result, orders are scheduled in the order in which they are received, regardless of dealer, pending any capacity and commodity limitations. Oldest Maverick retail orders are prioritized first, provided the Dealer has completed the required Customer Order Verification Process (COVP) AND the order can be scheduled within existing supply and optional features/package availability.”
This is good news for 2022 Maverick order holders that have already been waiting to take delivery of their new pickup for months now. Since its launch last year, the Maverick has remained a highly sought-after commodity, with dealer inventory turning in just four days while the new pickup is also among the top 20 fastest-selling vehicles on the market and even outsold its big brother – the mid-size Ford Ranger – in Q1 of 2022.
Extreme demand for the new model prompted Ford to stop taking Maverick retail orders for the 2022 model year back in January. Additionally, the Maverick Hybrid was only expected to represent 40 percent of the pickup’s take rate in its first model year, but as Ford Authority recently reported, consumer demand for the fuel-sipping model far exceeded the automaker’s expectations. As such, Ford recently admitted that it may be forced to push some 2022 model year orders to 2023.

As Darrell Waltrip puts it, "You chose a fine time to leave me, loose wheel!"
Sales increased 18 percent to 38,762 units during the first nine months of 2025.
It's one of 40 built in total.
From the Bronze Appearance Package to the High Equipment Group.
The Mark VI packed more for a similar price point.

Does that include dealer orders as well? Seems like the dealer down the road from me always has a Maverick on the lot, and once they sell it, they get another one in a short period of time.
Yes that is true a dealership near me had three in stock one was sold and the other two were for stock both were sold the next day when I came back to buy I went to a local dealer placed a thousand dollar deposit and ordered one in January still waiting for VIN number ??
Still waiting. GREGGO
I ordered in August and still have not received truck.
I ordered in August as well. I've been told my truck is built and on it's way, but that was months ago and it's past any dates I've been given.
Ditto!
I ordered 8-4-2021, built in March 2022 and I received a VIN when I was told it is on the way to the dealership. So I'm kind of expecting it to arrive sometime in the next few weeks🤞.
And we're still waiting for ours. Ordered September 2021! Was supposed to start making on April 25. Now they moved it to 1st wk of May! No chips! Ridiculous.
Just more of Ford's constant B.S.
Come on now I have had an order since June 14 for the Maverick xlt hybrid, have not received it YET, they are not building them in order their received, or I would have had mine, plus they told me I was one of the early orders and suppose to get some bonus items. I paid money for that position in line. I read about people ordering way past me and receiving there’s. So were is truth !!!!!!!!!!?????
ordered my xlt on 7/13/21. Still waiting as of 4/12/22.
Ford caught in the lie my order 6/ 15 and not built at this point its just a lie for stock prices the crash has come.
". . . . not building them in order their received," Because they are filling business orders ahead of us.
Also sending them to other countries ahead of our orders. Where is Ford's priorities?
Amen! The truth will set you free🤗
The American Auto Industry lost out to foreign Autos because they were indifferent to the Motoring public's needs and wants. When a Union can shut down the production line for one employee who is fired for incomplete assembly of parts, and fit and finish were hit or miss, other makers stepped up. This will happen again, you cannot keep orders dangling just out of reach and continue to say "any day now", regardless of the "supply Chaim Issues" As a shareholder of Ford Stock for MANY YEARS, it is an appalling embarrassment to acknowledge the excuses for failure to deliver.
When can I order 2023 Maverick hybrid
August 16 is the date I heard Ford was going to start accepting orders for the 2023 Mavericks.
I ordered my Lariat hybrid with copilot 360 and the luxury package on August 9. I have received 3 emails. First on the order date. The second in October and the last in December stating the order was still valid. Seems like forever but I’m still patiently waiting for a vin. Very disappointed with Ford communications. I don’t blame the dealer because they are left in the dark just like we are.
I order my first edition Sept 2021. I gave a down payment and have been told it may be 2023 before I get it. My wife says .Be patient, Be patient, Be patient
I ordered my xlt hybrid with the lux on 6-21-2021
It is now was reported as in "production" status with no estimate of completion on 4-4-22

I watched a video from a ford manager who is communicating thru ford for ford maverick customers he said as of monday this week. Ford will change their model on how they fill orders. They r upgrading 2022 mavs for 2023 model year . Orders placed on 2021 will get built firs then 2022 then 2023 orders placed this august. If u ordered copilot 360 lux package or any other special option it will be passed over due to chip shortages and lack of supplies. Said if u drop co pilot 360 and lux package with other options that use chips ur build will move ahead of others who still want these options and u will get a faster build date and vin #
