Ford will temporarily pause orders for its Maverick pickup truck as it works to meet huge demand for the new, $20,000 model.

Customers will be able to reserve a 2022 Maverick until Thursday evening, a Ford spokesperson told Insider. After that, the order books will be closed until sometime this summer. The Wall Street Journal first reported the pause on Monday.

Ford is taking the step so it can focus on fulfilling existing Maverick orders. When orders open back up again, customers will be able to reserve a 2023 model. In the meantime, buyers can still purchase a Maverick from dealer stock, the spokesperson said.

The Maverick arrived in 2021 as a smaller, more eco-friendly alternative to the overwhelmingly bulky pickup trucks sold by Ford and its rivals. Now that Ford has discontinued its smallest sedans and hatchbacks, the Maverick is the automaker's cheapest offering.
