Back in October, FoMoCo revealed that the incredibly fuel-efficient 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid was nearly sold out, and that the automaker expected that particular model to be completely spoken for by early November. It took a little longer than expected, but now, it appears that the 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid is in fact sold out, according to a bulletin that was recently sent to Ford dealers. Customers that want a Maverick Hybrid will now have to wait until next summer to order a 2023 model.
It isn’t just the Maverick Hybrid that’s proven to be a hot item among those looking for a fuel-efficient and affordable pickup, as models powered by Ford’s 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 have been turning in just five days on dealer lots since that version launched back in September. The non-hybrid pickup is still more fuel-efficient than its chief rival – the Hyundai Santa Cruz, and less expensive in most configurations, to boot.
So far, the Maverick has proven to be a massive hit with Millennials and Gen Z, as over one-quarter of Maverick buyers thus far are between the age of 18 and 35 – more than double the overall industry rate of 12 percent for that age group. As Ford Authority previously reported, the new compact pickup is also quite popular with critics, as well as owners of Blue Oval sedans, first-time truck buyers, and female shoppers, too.
Meanwhile, the 2022 Maverick Hybrid will begin shipping in December with the first deliveries expected in January. Ford recently sent out letters to order holders informing them that they would receive a free Ford Integrated Tether System (FITS) for the inconvenience. While those customers await delivery of their new compact pickups, the Maverick Hybrid has also been racking up accolades, including a spot on Kelly Blue Book’s most considered electrified vehicles list, as well as being named Green Truck of the Year.
We’ll have much more on the Maverick soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Ford Maverick news and non-stop Ford news coverage.

I am hoping they are coming out with a PHEV Maverick ( like the Escape ) for the 23 MY. Rather have a Maverick PHEV then an Escape, or even a Corsair PHEV.
I look forward to a fully EV Maverick, or at least an expanded capacity of a Maverick Hybrid. It’s common sense for Ford to respond to their strongest demographic, which they themselves are driving industry to make better, sustainable choices and decisions for the long term of the United States of America, Americans, and the rest of the planet, too.
We’re all in this together, and Ford is—-once again—-leading domestic production with logic, reason and science.
Raise your hand if you knew this truck would be a big success.
That said, I wish Ford would make more 2022s.

The Maverick Hybrid was destined to be a slam-dunk home-run for Ford. Glad I placed my order early.
Counting the days…
Remarkably bad timing, the small truck market is, obviously now, long overdue and the Mav is certainly “king of that hill”.
And to have both the chip problem AND the shipping container back up at the same time, hmmm?
Placed an order for the Maverick Hybrid December 10th. Was contacted by the local dealer the following week to come in and complete some additional paper work. I thought all was good. A couple of weeks later the local dealership called and said they couldn’t place the order and would I be interested in something else. I was not. Very disappointed.
