Key Points:
- Ford has opened sign-ups for preorder invites for its upcoming electric pickup, the Ford Fathom, with official preorders starting in early 2027 and deliveries expected later that year.
- The Fathom will start at $28,350 plus a $1,595 destination fee, making it significantly cheaper than the F-150 Lightning, Ford’s first electric pickup.
- Built on Ford's new Universal Electric Vehicle platform, the Fathom features a spacious interior, advanced tech like Apple Maps integration, BlueCruise hands-free driving, and bidirectional charging capabilities.
- It will use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which reduce cost and weight while improving handling and interior space, with a targeted 0-60 mph time comparable to a Mustang EcoBoost.
- Ford plans to produce the Fathom at its Louisville Assembly Plant, with CEO Jim Farley acknowledging the challenge of launching the vehicle at scale but confirming the 2027 launch timeline remains unchanged.
