I think the acquisition fee is on leased vehicles. That seems to be the way the build site defaults. To switch from lease to purchase you have to hit the calculator icon up in the dark blue box at the top right of the page.

^That was it!
As promised, we have an update on your 2023 Ford Maverick truck order.
On July 17, the 2024 Maverick order bank will open.
To put you in the best position to get your Ford Maverick as quickly as possible, please read carefully:
On July 17, contact your existing dealer that has your 2023 Maverick order to review the 2024 Maverick vehicle offering and submit a 2024 Maverick order. You will still have your 2023 Maverick order within the order bank. If your order is part of the group that is not produced as a 2023 model year, Ford will prioritize your 2024 model year in the build so that you receive your vehicle faster. Additionally, Ford will provide you with an incentive, through your dealer, to offset any non‑equipment related price increases.
If your 2023 Maverick order is scheduled between July 17 and October 31, we will work with your dealer to remove the 2024 order from our system. Your 2023 Maverick truck order remains a priority, and we’ll continue to update you as we hear more.
Please do not delay in submitting your 2024 Maverick order as the order banks may close quickly as they have in past model years. Any 23MY order that does not schedule will be cancelled.
Yeah, that email was the last straw for my order. Not gonna be updating it for 2024.

July 17th is earlier than I expected for the ordering window to open but I'm ready.
I'm actaully going to downgrade to the base model if I have the opportunity to adjust my order. The only reason I clicked XLT was cruise control, but seems the base model has that for 2023+.
That said, I'd prefer to just have the thing in hand. I have had thoughts of trying to find something else but this is a very niche market (oddly)
Tom may have a very lightly used one for sale :)
I really wish the hybrid was AWD and could tow 4k too.

Well there's still time for them to delay it two months like last year.
thedrive is reporting for 2024, the Ecoboost is the base engine, and the hybrid will be optional. A hybrid will start over 26K. The competitors from Ram, Toyota, and whoever else can't get here soon enough.
I was thinking the pricing was especially nuts, considering a Ranger starts at less than $28K, but then I found that is for a 2023 model. The 2024 Ranger starts at over $32K.
I dont have any confidence that mine will be ready. I'll email my dealer.
Dang does that mean the price went up for those of us that didnt get one? Or is our original order price honored?
In reply to ProDarwin :
They'll knock off the price for non-equipment related price increases.
In reply to ProDarwin :
Saw some percentages related to 2024 released by the Ford dealer that does a lot of Mavericks out of Salinas, KS (they have a YouseTube channel). Production models are expected to be divided out to be 20% XL, 53% XLT, & 27% Lariat. Engines are going to be 37% hybrid & 63% ecoboost, IIRC. And most of the unfulfilled 2023 orders are supposedly hybrids, so a big % of the 2024 hybrids are anticipated to go towards fulfilling reups for unfulfilled 2023 orders.
XL price increase is $805, XLT is $1460, & Lariat is something like $4550 (it gets 3 of the 2023 packages included, Lux, 360 & something else).
Hybrid is $1500 option for 2024. Ecoboost is now the base engine.
Speculation is that 2023 reups will get the model & hybrid (if you had it & keep it) increases back in the private offer, but that's all.
I really wish Toyota, or Nissan, or ?? would bring out a similar priced direct competitor to the Maverick to give the buying public an alternative to the 'wait and hope' game that Ford is seemingly playing, not to mention the dealer markups that I'm still seeing on the rare Mav that shows up on a dealer lot in the Cincinnati area. Kings Ford here is advertising most models at "invoice" pricing, excluding Mavericks, Mach E, and Superduty. The one Mav they recently had on their lot still had a $10k 'market adjustment' tagged to it.

Best way to avoid the markup is ordering one. Which is stupid. But there are some dealers here and in NC who aren't marking anything up.

Whatever the competition is, I really feel like they need to be offering a hybrid with a good ride and not just a slightly smaller truck than their regular midsize and gets 23MPG real world or there won't be the kind of interest the Maverick is seeing. I don't like having had to own both a truck and a daily car for over 10 years just because they wouldn't make anything like the Maverick, old Ranger or '90s extended cab Toyotas. I can't abide having the crap beat out of me and getting 17MPG everywhere I go just because I have to handle dirty, wet, smelly, messy, and/or bulky stuff 2-3 days a week and am completely uninterested in high payload or towing capacities since I can count the times over the past 25 years I have had more than 1000 pounds in the bed or have towed more than 2000lbs on one hand.
I think a lot of other people are in this boat but don't always have the self-awareness to recognize it.
So is the Hyundai Santa Cruz just not enough on the truck side of things? Too costly an option?
Just curious as I keep thinking I need something simple like the Maverick but this thread keeps me far away from actually looking at any I see.
My Dakota was always useful for the short time I had it, but was actually more truck than I needed. Truck bed area was the more valuable feature.
In reply to Advan046 :
I looked at the Santa Cruz and really considered it. Thing was, by the time I optioned it out to tow my trailer, it was an extra almost $10k (at least as I recall). On top of that, I am hesitant about the longevity of the double clutch transmission for towing duty. On top of that the recent theft problems on other models and Hyundai's slow and minimal response doesn't make me want to buy their products.
My wife also hated the aesthetic of them, so done deal.
I think it's in the other maverick thread somewhere but I drove both a maverick and a Santa Cruz. If they were roughly the same price the Santa Cruz would absolutely be a reasonable choice. But it's $5-10k more for comparable equipment and iirc the bed is actually a few inches shorter than the already almost useless maverick bed. And there's no hybrid equivalent, the base engine is just as slow but without the redeeming quality of good fuel economy. The interior is a bit nicer looking (though it seemed like the materials might not age well) but I have trouble seeing that alone being worth an extra $10k. I think my conclusion back then was I'd sooner pay a $5k markup on a maverick than buy a Santa Cruz. I have seen a few of them out in the wild though so apparently they appeal to someone.
In reply to Advan046 :
I suspect price is at least part of it. Cheapest I see advertised near me is over 30K, for a NA FWD model. Most of the ones I am seeing are pretty loaded up, and their prices are knocking on the door of a base Ridgeline, which is already AWD, and seems to be easy to come by at MSRP, and maybe less. I know the Honda is bigger than the Santa Cruz, but the Santa Cruz is bigger than a Maverick, so it's not as much of a stretch to compare them once you've gotten to that point. The fuel mileage gap is smaller, too.
In addition the MPG and cost concerns, I don't really like modern SUVs/crossovers and the Santa Cruz shares too much in appearance with them.
It's amazing to have a 23-page thread with very little about actual ownership.
Every other truck is a non starter for me because of the mileage. I want the hybrid. And I won't consider anything bigger than a Maverick (which is already bigger than I want, but I get it).
the hybrid Maverick is configured to be the perfect economical do all the things vehicle in my usage. I hope another manufacturer can make something similar sooner or later. But please try and compete on price and don't turn it into a battle of $45k trucklets
In reply to ProDarwin :
For my 2022 that converted into 2023, I received some money. I'm not sure I got all of it, the dealer surrendered his 2K markup waaay to easy. It was hard to tell because I went from FWD to AWD, and there was equipment changes, pricing changes etc. All I know for sure was I paid MSRP minus some Ford cash, so I was good.
