The Ford Fathom™ is Ford's all-new midsize electric pickup truck, arriving in 2027 with a starting MSRP of $28,350 (plus $1,595 destination and delivery), according to Ford. It's the first vehicle built on Ford's new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform, and at Suntrup Ford Kirkwood in Kirkwood, MO, we're already fielding questions from St. Louis County drivers who want an affordable electric truck.
Ford says preorders will open in early 2027, with first deliveries expected later in 2027. The Fathom will be assembled at Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky and uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology. Ford has confirmed key features — including BlueCruise hands-free highway driving capability, bidirectional power, and built-in Apple Maps navigation — but has not yet published EPA range, towing, payload, or charging specifications. This page covers what's confirmed, what's still to come, and how to get in line through our sales team.
Key Highlight
At a $28,350 starting MSRP, the Fathom is Ford's most affordable electric vehicle — and Ford projects it will offer more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4 in a truck about the size of the Ford Maverick.
We'll keep this page updated as Ford releases final specifications, trims, and ordering details. In the meantime, you can contact us to be notified when Fathom preorders open at Suntrup Ford Kirkwood.

What Is the Ford Fathom?
The Fathom is Ford's answer to a question a lot of truck shoppers have been asking: can an electric pickup be genuinely affordable? Ford built the Fathom on a clean-sheet Universal Electric Vehicle Platform designed to cut cost and complexity, and paired it with LFP battery cells — a chemistry that is typically less expensive than the nickel-based cells used in many earlier EVs. The result is a midsize, crew-cab-style electric truck that Ford is pricing below most new gas-powered pickups.
Size-wise, Ford describes the Fathom as being in the same territory as the Ford Maverick, while projecting more passenger volume than the Toyota RAV4. That makes it a natural fit for St. Louis County drivers who want a truck bed for weekend projects but don't need the size of an F-150.

Ford Fathom Specs: What's Confirmed and What's Still Coming
Ford has been deliberate about what it has released so far. Here's a clear snapshot of the Fathom's confirmed details versus the specs Ford has not yet published, so you know exactly what to expect.
| Specification | Ford Fathom | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $28,350 (standard-range battery) | Confirmed by Ford |
| Destination & Delivery | $1,595 | Confirmed by Ford |
| Vehicle Type | Midsize all-electric pickup truck | Confirmed by Ford |
| Platform | Universal Electric Vehicle Platform (first vehicle) | Confirmed by Ford |
| Driver Assistance | BlueCruise capable on every Fathom | Confirmed by Ford |
| EPA-Estimated Range | Not yet available | Pending |
| Towing & Payload | Not yet published | Pending |
| Charging Speed & Battery Capacity | Not yet published | Pending |
Does the Ford Fathom Have BlueCruise?
Yes. Ford says every Fathom will be BlueCruise capable, giving it access to Ford's hands-free highway driving technology on prequalified sections of divided highway — useful on I-44, I-64, and I-270 commutes around St. Louis. BlueCruise typically requires an active subscription or plan after any included trial period, so ask our team how activation will work at launch.
What Is Bidirectional Power on the Fathom?
Bidirectional power means the Fathom's battery can send electricity out as well as take it in. Ford lists bidirectional capability as a Fathom feature; depending on equipment, that kind of capability can power tools and devices or, with the right home setup, help back up a home during an outage. Ford hasn't yet released the Fathom's specific power-export ratings, so check back as details are finalized.
Ford Fathom vs. Ford Maverick: Which Small Ford Truck Fits You?
Because Ford positions the Fathom as roughly Maverick-sized, many St. Louis buyers are deciding between the two. The biggest difference is timing and powertrain: the Maverick is available to buy today with gas and hybrid powertrains, while the Fathom is fully electric and arrives in 2027.
| Factor | Ford Fathom | Ford Maverick |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain | All-electric | Gas or hybrid |
| Availability | Preorders early 2027; deliveries later in 2027 | Available now |
| Size | Midsize; roughly Maverick-sized per Ford | Compact pickup |
| Fueling | Home and public charging | Gas station |
| Best For | Drivers ready to go electric with a truck bed | Drivers who need a small truck now |
Can I Buy an Electric Ford Truck Before the Fathom Arrives?
Yes — on the pre-owned side. Ford ended production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning, but pre-owned Lightning trucks remain on the market, and qualifying used electric Fords can be Ford Blue Advantage EV Certified, which includes a 127-point inspection, a 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, and an 8-year/100,000-mile BaseCARE EV Limited Warranty (whichever comes first). Browse our used inventory or ask our team to watch for one.
