Ford Fathom: Price, Release Date & Specs

Ford’s official reveal of the all-new Ford Fathom™ midsize electric truck.

Ford just put a real, four-door electric pickup within reach of a whole lot more truck shoppers. On August 6, 2026, Ford announced the Ford Fathom™ — its all-new midsize electric truck and the first vehicle built on the company’s Universal Electric Vehicle Platform — with a starting MSRP of $28,350* with the standard-range battery.

If you have been waiting for an electric truck that does not require a luxury-SUV budget, this is the one worth watching. Here is what Ford has confirmed, what is still unannounced, and what it means for shoppers around New Prague, Lakeville and the south metro.

What is the Ford Fathom?

The Ford Fathom™ is a midsize electric pickup and the first model to come off Ford’s new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform. Ford describes it as a ground-up design rather than an electrified version of an existing truck, built on a new architecture with technology and features that are new to the brand.

The headline of the packaging story is space. Ford projects the Fathom pickup will offer more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4, while still giving you both a bed and a front trunk. That combination is the whole pitch: room to haul and room to ride, in a truck that is genuinely fun to drive.

Ford has also said the Fathom is aimed at people juggling busy, fast-changing lives — which, if you have ever tried to fit hockey gear, a dog and a load of landscaping timbers into one vehicle on a Saturday, probably sounds familiar.

Ford Fathom price and pre-order timing

Here is the timeline as Ford has laid it out:

• Starting MSRP: $28,350* with the standard-range battery
• Pre-orders open: early 2027
• Customer deliveries begin: later in 2027

Ford has not released trim-level pricing, battery pricing or full ordering details. As always, pricing and availability vary by trim and configuration, and dealers set the selling price.

Why bi-directional power matters in Minnesota

Bi-directional power capability means the truck can push electricity back out — to tools on a job site, to a campsite, or to the things in your house that matter most when the grid goes down.

Anyone who has ridden out a January ice storm in Scott or Dakota County knows exactly why that is worth paying attention to. A pickup that can double as a backup power source is a genuinely practical feature in this part of the country, not just a spec-sheet talking point.

What we still don’t know

Ford has been deliberate about what it has released, and a lot of the numbers truck shoppers care about are still to come. As of now, the following have not been announced:

• Battery capacity and driving range
• DC fast-charging speeds
• Horsepower and torque
• Towing and payload ratings
• Bed dimensions and frunk volume
• Trim lineup and available options
• Final exterior and interior imagery

Ford has said it will share more closer to launch. We will update this page as those details are confirmed.
