My Maverick Is Built! And SHIPPED!

[@gened7756]

I am glad you are getting your Maverick soon. I also like the exterior color of your truck. I have been watching your channel for about a year. I got my XLT hybrid in July, after 10 months of waiting, guess that wasn't bad, some people waited a lot longer. I will be waiting to see your truck. Good luck!

[@brendandrives]

Thanks so much Gene!

[@soNso2]

I fill your wait..order my Maverick XLT Hybrid Oct. Of 21 & finally got it Feb of 23. 17 long mo. Hope your is here ASAP & no dealer BS. Congratulations

[@brendandrives]

Holy cow that’s up there with the longest wait I’ve heard of for a new Maverick! I have a good relationship with my dealer so there will be no BS! Thank you for watching!!

[@stevemlejnek7073]

Thank you so much! My Maverick is "in production". Been in that state since 11/8. Hoping to see "built" very soon! Mine is Terrain XLT.

[@brendandrives]

Thank YOU for being here Steve! I bet yours will be done really soon too. Let me know when you get the “Built” notification! Terrain FTW🟤

[@robertcunningham9626]

My 2023 Ford Maverick hybrid XLT is a fantastic vehicle. 47 mpg, hot pepper red, and they held my 2022 price so out the door $25K. Very thrilled with the truck and I'm sure you will be too.

[@brendandrives]

That’s a lot of vehicle for $25k!

[@bruinlane]

Congratulations Brendan, I know you are excited. Keep us in the loop as things progress.

[@brendandrives]

Thanks! Will do!

[@TWLivings]

Congrat Brendan! Getting close... time to get the finance/docs together. 1) Call your dealer to check the status of your ransitional private offer. 2) If you are financing, apply for loan at like PenFed or Navy Federal Credit Union, as I heard they have the best rate going right now for new cars. 3) Ask your dealer how much they will accept on Credit Card, personal check, cash, bank check, cashier check, minimum deposit etc. 4) Ask your dealer what other documents they need for you to drive off the lot. I am sure they will ask if you have a trade-in...

[@brendandrives]

Thank you! I’ll have to double check on Ford incentives too and see if they have any offers tied to financing 👍 And check Turkey availability😆

[@rsngrl]

Ford has no offers. NFCU if you are eligible.

[@rsngrl]

oh also, you can $3000 on a Ford Visa and get more points and $100 statement credit

Sounds like we are on similar tracks, I ordered my Lariat Hybrid in 2022 and had to reorder for the 2024, Got build date week of Nov 6 then it was built the next week and am waiting for shipping. I am in Northern California Ford tracking projects delivery dec 7 - Dec 20 guess may make a Christmas present for me. Still no sticker page on tracking sight and only online manuals seem to be for 2023 versions. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and good luck in getting your Terrain Hybrid. Thanks for the video which confirmed my similar experiences.

[@brendandrives]

Thanks so much! I bet you’ll have time to load up presents in the back like Santa’s sleigh! I got to see mine in person for the first time today! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_Lg6KOp5qlqMksi=YhdkWjPFpuA6qRX3

[@nedbutz9139]

I have been waiting just over 2 years. Reordered twice. Reserved in July 21. Hybrid XLT, Lux and 360. Originally alto blue. Now I just laugh when folks complain that they had to wait whatever number of months.

[@brendandrives]

That's crazy, did they sell your other trucks out from under you or have your orders just been kicked down the road?

[@nedbutz9139]

I had to reorder twice. I got a price adjustment of $2700 after the 1st year and now my adjustment w carryover should be around $7200. I had been asked several times to change my order. Even w the adjustment I have lost several items such as keypad, spray in liner, sliding rails, and my preferred color.

[@brendandrives]

@@nedbutz9139 thats a silly amount of waiting time but WOW that total adjustment would be incredible

[@danroberts5339]

Hang in there. Expect the unexpected. Be patient. Eventually you will be driving your Mav. It will be everything and more than what you’ve expected! Congratulations!!!!!!

[@brendandrives]

Thanks Dan! I just got to see it yesterday for the first time in person! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_Lg6KOp5qlqMk&lc=UgwLB6JBhq9x3WGhnVF4AaABAg

[@tadinator1362]

Congratulations! mine went quick from production to shipping, I was notified it was in production, built the next day, in shipping the day after that. Shipping was a bit more stressful as it went back and forth a few times, but eventually showed up a few days before expected. All in all, from production to delivery was about a month, and I'm in NY.

[@brendandrives]

Sounds like it was built really quickly but the shipping took quite a while! I guess it IS 2650 miles or so from the factory to New York...

[@JCEU21]

Although I didn't special order my Maverick, I bought (ordered) my '23 on 10/20 and on 10/24 it was updated as built and in Tucson, AZ. By 11/13 it was in Newark awaiting transport to the dealership and finally arrived on 11/18. The month dragged on but the anticipation was worth it!

[@brendandrives]

Wow that you got yours! It takes a while to get across the country. What’s your spec? I got to see mine in person for the first time today! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_Lg6KOp5qlqMksi=YhdkWjPFpuA6qRX3

[@rhulandjc2008]

My 2024 maverick hybrid XLT went into production on 17 November 2023. I am also a carryover from September 2022

[@brendandrives]

Wow so ours were built right around the same time! Did you get the email that yours is built?

[@duke9173]

Took delivery of my carbonized grey XLT Tremor a week ago. About 3wks from shipped to delivery. Also I don’t know if you changed your 23 to 24 specs but Ford took $1900 off the MSRP because I got bumped to a 24 model.

[@brendandrives]

Nice! I think a Tremor is such an appealing package. If I didn’t want the hybrid, I would have gone full off-road spec with a Tremor. Yeah my 23 order got bumped to a 24 so I should be getting $2500 off MSRP! Definitely making a video going over all the costs, add-ons, taxes, financing and everything once I pick it up!

[@williamutsman579]

congratulations, got a notice this week that my XLT Hybrid is schuelled

[@brendandrives]

Thanks! And that’s awesome William!

[@dubioushumor9243]

[@brendandrives]

Thanks Norman! I’ll make another video when it comes in!

[@OlinFrisvold]

Sounds like our trucks were built and shipped the same days. I ordered alto blue, FX4, Laiat Lux on Jul 17. Theoretically supposed to arrive at dealer in Seattle 11/24.

[@brendandrives]

@@jeno5347 great! I really like the ability to order exactly what you want and not pay any extra for it BUT waiting over a year is pretty ridiculous. So I think it depends on what you want and when you need to have it!

Thanks Lucas! I’m anxious to see the color in real life on a Maverick. Hopefully it looks as good as it does on a Raptor. You are literally the best 🙌

[@lucasblanchard47]

@@brendandrives I bet it’ll look sweet in person, hopefully there’s no metallic flake in it. That’s why I love my 2021 F-150 SuperCab STX 4x4 5.0 in Lead Foot Gray so much! The LAST year for that paint color before it was discontinued, and the ONLY year it was available for that generation of F-150.

[@brendandrives]

@@lucasblanchard47 ooh you’re right it shouldn’t need any flake in that color. Just googled your truck spec and it looks great

[@ribz78]

You may not get a window sticker uploaded on the app for the maverick. Mine never did. I was lucky and got mine 3 months after ordered this year.

[@brendandrives]

One of my subscribers here emailed me and showed that the link I was using to look it up just needed the trucks VIN added at the end of the URL. Then it worked! I may make a window sticker video if that’s something people would like to see. Or compare that window sticker to my old trucks sticker.

[@jasonmeckler896]

I'm wondering if all the 2023 bumped orders are taking priority on the parts shortages and shipping opportunities. Mine went into production 2 days after yours. XLT Hybrid. No options. Took 5 weeks to build. Been 2 weeks and it still hasn't shipped. I'm assuming that you received yours, and mine was 2 days behind and hasn't left Mexico

[@brendandrives]

You’re probably right and yes I did get mine: Taking Home My Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid! (Finally!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7WY5KcitFkmqM

[@honaker326]

I didn't pre-order. But called several delaerships in my area and told them to put me on a call list if one was in stock. Two weeks ago, I get a call that a 2023 Mavrick XL pre-order is sitting on the lot and the customer doesn't want it. I will give it to you for MSRP if you come get it today. I was the new owner about 45 minutes later. The hybrid is so dang nice. Everything mechanical is working as expected. You might get the pillar or dash rattle. My passenger "A pillar" and the corner window make a vibrating noise over hairline cracks in the road. However, my sales rep had the same thing happen with his mavrick, and turned out to be a bad seal on the window. I'm putting mine in the shop to let them take a look. A very minor issue, but figured I'd mention it.

[@brendandrives]

Wow no waiting for you! That worked out!

[@KawaTony1964]

I just received my Maverick about 5 weeks ago. Here's my experience: I got the "Built" notification on 9/8; I got the "Shipped" notification 9/16; they said it was in Arizona between 9/20 and 9/24 (I didn't record this date); in Chicago 9/28; still in Chicago 10/4; arrived at my dealer in Chesapeake, VA 10/19. I learned that trains are alot slower that I thought they were. If you are in Arizona or thereabouts, though, you should get yours in a no more than 3 weeks if everything is the same as it was for me. I got my window sticker before it was shipped, though.

[@brendandrives]

Thanks Tony! Yeah I’m expecting the AZ timeline to be a lot shorter since we are neighboring Mexico. 6 weeks for you isn’t terrible though. What’s your trucks spec?

[@KawaTony1964]

@@brendandrives I got an XLT with trailer hitch and full-size spare - no other options. So, no power seats, no adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, etc. I got it in Area 51, but I probably would've gotten your color if it had been available for 2023. Did you have to pay 2024 prices for yours? If not, that may be why there's a glitch with your window sticker. I'm very, very happy with the way it drives and rides. It's way quieter than I expected, and feels way more torquey than the official torques specs. It feels more like a 6 cylinder than a 4 cylinder. The ride is smooth, controlled, and very comfortable. It was worth waiting for.

[@brendandrives]

That’s a great middle ground spec and shockingly cheap for what you get. I don’t yet know 100% for sure if I’ll get the $2,500 price adjustment for going from a 2023 Lariat Hybrid to a 2024. But I really hope so

[@dennislyon5412]

Man, to ride this out to the end - I can feel your excitement! I waited 2 weeks short of a year to get my 22 Lariat hybrid. Can’t believe that window got longer. But with a 3rd shift going, they should be pumping out Mavericks this winter.
