2024 Canadian orders

[NorthernNic]

I ended up calling Downtown ford in Toronto 400km from where I live after months of nonsense in my local area... 2500$ deposit but thankfully I'm in a position where it's no problem. Salesperson is John Mitchell first person with any customer service skills I've spoken to.
I'll update again once I get my confirmation email.

P.S. I looked into getting a Maverick in the US and driving it over and it doesn't make sense financially $$$ for anyone else wondering. It would add about 4300$ to the MSRP plus about 2-3 weeks on phone with customs and headaches. Based on today's exchange rate.

with 60m finance @ a whopping 8.49%

You nailed it. I was looking at getting Lariat as it finally is here with hybrid, and gets the features I am missing (push button + keyless entry etc, lane keep / radar), but the rates are absolutely straight F'd.

And with removal of standard features and downgrades..... Doesn't make sense.

I'll keep my loaded XLT. Only thing I am missing is the rear window, just because it wasn't powered. If it was powered for XLT I would have got it. Who wants to go to the back seat to open and close it, silly haha.

Anybody know for sure if Canadians do or do not have price protection on unfulfilled 23 orders rolled over to 24?

For what it's worth I was told a 4 to 6 month wait for my XL Hybrid. Ordered thru a high volume dealership in Toronto.

I ordered my xlt hybrid October 2023… still not scheduled for production. Ford chat no longer works though. Ford is a train wreck.

Dang.. I should have gotten a written commitment for a wait time

Meant to type 2022… but hopefully you will be fortunate and get your new wheels.

That's fast! I ordered an Ecoboost XLT from a dealership in Calgary on September 7th. Still nothing. I believe Ford is producing a lot of Lariats in December.

Mine was a calgary dealership as well. Lucky I guess.

Yeah, that seems pretty normal for these secretive Canadian dealerships. Ford Canada also is remarkably uncommunicative, and don't even send out the 45-day updates that Ford USA sends you. The incompetence is astounding. The best bet is to get your dealer order# (4 characters, usually using your first & last initials) and the dealer name or dealer code, and use the Ford chat app to get the real status. Don't hold your breath unless you've been waiting over a year.

Just curious what part of Canada are you in?

This is typical Canadian customer service. Almost every business that operates in both the US and Canada has way better service south of the border. I think the problem is Canadians are too laid back as consumers so businesses just do whatever. In the US the consumer is more demanding and has more options.
