My 2023 Ford Maverick still hasn’t arrived at dealer.

Ouch, any used options?
Have you considered any other small trucks? I tried the new GMC Canyon, it is a great truck. No hybrid but it is a great improvement compared to the outgoing model.

Don't look now but Alex on Autos just named the 2024 Maverick Hybrid, Truck of the Year.
Let me guess, the dealer starts with "Long"?
I ordered my '22 XLT AWD in my home town in Dec '21. I thought it was bad that I received it in Dec '22. I've been pleased with it, and driving trouble-free for over a year, and 14k miles. I've moved my parents 2x, daughter to college, etc. It's been "handy".

Yes
So, anyone call anyone? any news?
So what is the point of this thread, just to vent? Go get a 2024 in stock and cancel your order.
If I ordered a $19,999 car under a contract for that price, and 2 years later it wasn’t built and canceling my order would cost an extra $5000+ I would be a little POd also
That’s why asked if this was just to vent. He said he’s not reaching out to the dealer about the Maverick so what now, continue waiting indefinitely?
Yes, I’m venting. So I should go try to find a 2024 and pay anywhere from $2500 to $5000 more then the 2023 model?
Or maybe call or directly e-mail and see if you can figure out what's going on and can you work out any accommodation on your order.
I get that they should call you, but refusing to call is the equivalent of a hunger strike... everyone else goes about their day and you go hungry...

My post up top was on the Maverick forum, that guy is the internet manager at that dealer. He is responsible for all the 800 Maverick orders last year. I contacted him multiple times on that forum, he knows I have ordered that truck, and his response is the same every time.
He and his dealer gambled on their 2023 Maverick allocations and lost big time with their 800 orders. They should’ve never accepted half of those orders.

It looks like you did the gambling and lost $2,500 to $5,000 per your post. If the truck shows up, it’s already 6 months old or more when you get it. The dealer didn’t lose anything.
A well-adjusted person would not do that
Do you actually not understand that the dealer doesn’t run the factory? And that the dealer is an independent company, not even a part of Ford Motor Company?

It's tempting to go full on Karen Mode but that also gets you nowhere in life.

This (same day) is when you should have contacted the dealer and requested the VIN and added money for a down payment.
If no money was required when ordering this Maverick, then why should the dealership be required to hold it for you, when customers are lining-up to buy that Maverick - when it arrives and with a down payment.
Since you haven't given them any money, give them the same treatment they gave you and just walk away. Find something you want to buy, and buy it, and if someday they call to tell you your Maverick is in, laugh out loud through the phone. People have been kissing their butts for 2 years clamoring for these vehicles. Give them something they don't expect... Indifference.
