Ford's new EV truck Fathom to be priced starting at about $28,000

Ford says the standard-range model includes BlueCruise, bidirectional charging and a built-in navigation system as it targets the affordable EV pickup market.

  • On Thursday, Ford announced its upcoming midsize electric pickup will be called the Fathom, with a starting price of $28,350. The vehicle represents the first model built on the company's new Universal EV Platform.
  • CEO Jim Farley called the project a "Model T moment" for the automaker, which is gambling on the truck form factor after taking a $19.5 billion writedown on canceled electric projects last year.
  • Delivering at least 300 miles of range, the Fathom utilizes prismatic LFP cells from BlueOval Battery Park Michigan and features bidirectional power with native Apple Maps integration.
  • Pre-Orders for the Fathom open in early 2027, with customer deliveries beginning that fall, positioning the base model just under $30,000 to compete in the affordable EV market.
  • Using the Universal EV Production System, the Louisville Assembly Plant will complete Fathoms 40% faster than current vehicles, competing against the Jeff Bezos-backed Slate and Chevy Bolt.
