The $28,350 Fathom is Ford’s first midsize electric truck
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Ford has named its first midsize electric truck the Fathom, with prices starting at $28,350 before destination charges. The model is significant because it broadens Ford’s limited electric vehicle range after production of the F-150 Lightning ended, and could offer a more fully equipped low-cost alternative to rival electric pickups.
The Fathom is expected to sit between the Ford Ranger and Maverick in size, and Ford says it will provide more passenger space than a Toyota RAV4 as well as a bed and front boot. Standard equipment is set to include a high-resolution touchscreen, BlueCruise hands-free motorway driving, digital keys, Apple Maps and bidirectional charging; pre-orders are planned for early 2027, with deliveries later that year.
- Ford’s new Fathom is a $28,350 midsize electric truck.
- It includes more standard technology than some budget rivals.
- Pre-orders should begin in early 2027.

Ford is one of the world’s best-known vehicle makers and has long sold pickup trucks in the United States, including the compact Maverick, midsize Ranger and full-size F-Series. Electric vehicles use battery power instead of petrol or diesel, and Ford has so far had a relatively small electric line-up compared with some rivals.
Pickup trucks are used both as everyday family vehicles and for carrying equipment, so their cabin space, towing ability and load bed are important selling points. A front boot is storage space under the bonnet, where a conventional vehicle would usually have an engine.
The new model is aimed at buyers looking for an electric pickup smaller than Ford’s largest trucks and at a lower starting price. Its arrival matters for Ford because it would restore an electric truck option in its range and increase competition in a growing market for battery-powered pickups.
