(Reuters) – Ford Motor (NYSE:) Co is cutting off customer orders for the Maverick, a hybrid affordable pickup that the automaker had rolled out in June last year, the Wall Street Journal reported https://www.wsj.com/articles/ford-shuts-off-orders-for-new-20-000-maverick-pickup-11643033093?mod=latest_headlines on Monday.

Ford informed its dealers that it was suspending orders for Maverick pickup trucks because of a backlog. The WSJ reported.

According to the report, orders will be taken for the 2023 Maverick by the company in the summer.

Ford has not yet responded to a Reuters comment request.

Maverick was the first pickup truck to feature a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain. This option is intended to lower the car’s price starting at $20,000.
