Ford Fathom electric pickup launch under $30k
Overview
Ford has reaffirmed details of its midsize Fathom electric pickup at an August 2026 unveiling. The truck will be built on the new Universal EV (UEV) platform and priced at a base $28,350, plus a $1,595 destination fee, keeping the total just under $30,000. In Canada, the starting price is expected to be CAD 38,690, which includes a CAD 4,000 federal incentive.
Production is set for the Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky, with pre-orders opening in early 2027 and first deliveries slated for the fall of that year. The Fathom will use a 50 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery offering up to 300 miles of range. The base configuration is expected to utilize a single rear-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor, while higher configurations may offer all-wheel drive.
Features include a spacious cabin larger than a Toyota RAV4, a front trunk, a traditional rear bed, and standard technology such as a high-resolution touchscreen, digital key, bidirectional charging, Apple Maps, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and hardware for the optional BlueCruise hands-free driver-assist system. The UEV platform is central to Ford's strategy to transition its Model e electric vehicle division toward profitability by 2029. CEO Jim Farley described the launch as a “Model T moment,” positioning the Fathom to compete with low-cost Chinese EVs and help Ford regain market share after a recent $19.5 billion EV writedown.
