When Ford told us in September that the 2022 Maverick Hybrid pickup wasn’t delayed because of the chip shortage, and that it might be out there at launch, the automaker was being half true. The pickup is delayed whereas ready for federal and state emissions certifications, not chips. An Automotive News report says the trucks will ship in December, first deliveries anticipated in January 2022.
Ford Authority says a few of these reservation holders will get one thing concrete at any time when they do get their vehicles. Citing a letter from Ford to consumers, the automaker will give them a couple of equipment that slot into the Ford Integrated Tether System, or FITS for brief. The FITS is a set of eight slots within the Maverick cabin — seven within the under-seat storage bins, one on the rear of the middle tunnel — that settle for pre-made add-ons like cupholders and storage bins with the correct mount. Since Ford has offered Maverick house owners with 3D-printing geometry of the slots system due to a QR code within the automobile, house owners can print any sort of comfort characteristic they’d prefer to mount. The free package that can include the truck is alleged to incorporate “a storage bin, cupholder, telephone twine organizer, bag hooks and dividers for the under-seat storage space.”
Take into account it a mea culpa to members of boards like Maverick Truck Club and Maverick Chat, who’re placing all their intel collectively to determine what to make of the conflicting info, or lack of expertise, Ford has offered about when their vehicles will are available. This may very well be essentially the most helpful sort of apology but, Ford studying its manner via such issues after having given away Bronco-themed hammocks to some Bronco reservation holders in August after which issuing dealers a $1,000 customer satisfaction fund in September to ease the ache of constant delays with the massively standard off-roader.
