Everything to Know About the Upcoming Ford Fathom

Ford is bringing something new to the electric truck market with the upcoming Ford Fathom. Designed as a midsize electric truck, Fathom is built around a different idea of what an EV pickup can be: practical enough for everyday life, flexible enough for weekends, and packed with technology that doesn’t require giving up the utility of a truck.

Ford Fathom pre-orders will begin in early 2027, with a starting MSRP of $28,350 for the standard-range battery. While some specifications are still to come, there’s already plenty to know about this new Ford electric truck.

Here’s a closer look at what the Ford Fathom will offer and what shoppers can expect as its launch approaches.

What Is the Ford Fathom?

The Ford Fathom is an upcoming midsize electric truck and the first vehicle built on Ford’s new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.

Rather than simply electrifying an existing Ford truck, Fathom was designed from the beginning as an EV. It’s intended to provide the flexibility people want from a truck while fitting comfortably into everyday life.

That means Fathom isn’t aimed only at traditional truck buyers. Its combination of passenger space, cargo flexibility, technology and electric power is designed for drivers who may use their vehicle for everything from commuting during the week to hauling gear for a weekend trip.

The Fathom is also projected to have more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4, while seating five adults.

How Much Will the Ford Fathom Cost?

One of the biggest details Ford has announced is the starting price.

The Ford Fathom starts at $28,350 MSRP with the standard-range battery. At that starting price, Fathom is positioned to bring an electric truck into a price range that may be more accessible to shoppers who haven’t previously considered an EV pickup.

It’s worth remembering that the final price of a particular Fathom will depend on its configuration, options, fees and applicable incentives. More pricing information should become available as Ford gets closer to opening pre-orders.

What Can You Expect From the Ford Fathom?

Although Ford hasn’t released every specification yet, several practical features have already been confirmed.

Five-Passenger Seating and Flexible Cargo Space

Fathom is designed to make use of its footprint efficiently. Ford says the truck will seat five adults and is projected to offer more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4.

For cargo, Fathom combines a traditional truck bed with a front trunk, or frunk. Having storage in both areas gives drivers more flexibility when carrying groceries, outdoor equipment, work supplies or other gear.

Bidirectional Power Capability

Another standout feature is bidirectional power capability.

Rather than electricity flowing only from the vehicle to power its own systems, bidirectional power allows energy to flow back out of the vehicle for compatible applications. Ford has highlighted this as part of Fathom’s utility, giving owners another way to put the truck’s battery to work.

Additional details about exactly how this capability will function and what equipment will be required are expected closer to launch.

Ford Fathom Technology

Fathom is also being designed around a modern, connected driving experience.

A large touchscreen will provide navigation powered by Apple Maps, while several connectivity features are planned to come standard.

Ford has confirmed that Fathom will include:

• Apple CarPlay compatibility

• Android Auto compatibility

• Digital Key

• Ford app remote-control functionality

• Large touchscreen display

• Apple Maps-powered navigation

• BlueCruise capability

That combination makes Fathom particularly interesting for drivers who want an electric truck without giving up familiar smartphone and connected-vehicle features.

Will the Ford Fathom Have BlueCruise?

Yes. Every Ford Fathom will be BlueCruise capable for hands-free highway driving.

Ford says the Fathom will have hardware for its next generation of BlueCruise technology. The system is designed for a hands-off, eyes-on driving experience on designated highways known as hands-free Blue Zones.

Fathom will also integrate its next-generation BlueCruise system with Apple Maps, which Ford says is intended to provide a more seamless experience from on-ramp to off-ramp.

As always, BlueCruise is a driver-assistance technology, not a substitute for an attentive driver. Availability and activation requirements can vary, so Ford’s final information should be reviewed as the Fathom launch gets closer.

What Is the Ford Fathom’s Driving Range?

This is one area where shoppers will need to wait for additional information.

Ford has not yet released projected EPA-estimated driving range figures for the Fathom. The vehicle is currently being introduced with a standard-range battery, but an official EPA range estimate isn’t available yet.

That distinction matters when comparing Fathom with other electric trucks. Online estimates or unofficial projections shouldn’t be treated as the vehicle’s final range.

As Ford releases additional information about battery capacity, charging and EPA-estimated range, those details will provide a clearer picture of how Fathom fits into different driving routines.

When Will the Ford Fathom Be Available?

Pre-orders for the Fathom will begin in early 2027.

Ford is already preparing its production facilities for the new electric truck. The Louisville Assembly Plant is being retooled around Ford’s Universal Electric Vehicle production system, with prototype builds using production-qualified parts planned for the first quarter of 2027. Customer vehicles will follow later in the year.

That means shoppers interested in the Fathom should expect additional information about configurations, availability, pricing and specifications as 2027 approaches.
