So many people want a Ford Maverick that Ford's stopped taking orders
CNN
If you want a Ford Maverick pickup but haven't placed an order already yet, time's running out. On Thursday, Ford will stop accepting any new retail orders for the 2022 model year Maverick, company spokesman Michael Levine said in an email. After that, buyers will have to wait until order banks open for the 2023 model year this summer.
The halt specifically applies to "retail orders," though, so government and business fleet buyers will still be allowed to order trucks after Thursday. Ford did not say how many Maverick orders the automaker has already collected.
Across the industry, automakers have been dealing with problems getting needed parts to make vehicles, particularly computer chips. Ford did not specifically cite any particular production issues with the Maverick, though.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
