Ford will stop taking new orders of its Maverick compact pickup truck until the summer due to the overwhelming demand for the vehicles, a spokesperson confirmed.

The decision comes as the auto industry faces a global microchip shortage, a supply chain crisis, and rising prices, driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, although the Michigan-headquartered Ford spokesperson did not cite any specific production issues with the Maverick.
