Here are some partially redacted messages from a Facebook page of the auto dealer industry, regarding this week's Maverick news.

The whole allocation thing is trash. Build them in order of orders placed and then there is zero room for people to complain.

The last entry. Dealers don’t need any assistance to look like @#&#%##!

Reservations should be allocated first. Regardless of where the reservations were made (or the vehicle model).. Most of us made our reservations online and the Ford website defaulted the orders through the closest dealer. I'm guessing moving your order at this point forfeits your price protection.

Yeah, something is going on with the Maverick allocations. From what I have read on the Maverick forum and some other insider info I have, it seems that those allocations have been extremely reduced. The total dealers got for the year is what they were expecting for a month. Also, Maverick production seems to be running at about 2/3's of Bronco production so the pool is smaller but not that much smaller to reflect the huge reduction in allocations.

I don't think the Bronco's are in any better shape. I think my dealer maybe got about 1/6th to 1/4th of their ordered Broncos delivered thus far thru MY2021 and MY2022.
