Ford Fathom: Release Date, Price, Specs & What to Expect

Ford’s Fathom Brings an Electric Truck Under $30,000

Ford finally put a name and a price on its new affordable electric truck. It’s called the Fathom, and its starting price sits under $30,000. Plenty of details are still under wraps, but Ford has shared enough to sketch out what’s coming and when.

• Ford lists a starting MSRP of $28,350 with a standard-range battery, plus a $1,595 destination charge.
• Preorders begin in early 2027, and Ford says the Fathom arrives that same year.
• Projected EPA-estimated range figures haven’t been released yet.

When Does the Ford Fathom Arrive?

Mark early 2027 on your calendar. That’s when Ford says preorders begin, and its Fathom page says this new electric truck arrives that same year. You don’t have to wait until then for news, either. Ford’s site lets you sign up for Fathom updates right now and ask for a preorder invite.

One quick note on the badge. There’s no model year listed for the Ford Fathom yet, so don’t be surprised to see different labels online. We’ll update this page once Ford makes it official.

Pricing That Starts Under $30K

The Fathom’s starting MSRP is $28,350 with the standard-range battery. That price leaves out the $1,595 destination charge and any dealer doc fees. Add destination, and you’re at $29,945 before doc fees, taxes, and registration. That’s a bold number for a brand-new midsize electric truck.

The phrase “standard-range battery” hints that other battery options could show up later. None are confirmed yet, and trim prices haven’t been shared either. For now, plan your budget around the base truck.

What Ford Has Confirmed So Far

Ford calls the Fathom an all-new midsize electric truck. Ford projects more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4, and that’s a big claim for a truck. This is also the first vehicle built on Ford’s new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.

Tech is where the Fathom surprises for the money. A large touchscreen runs navigation powered by Apple Maps. You also get a Digital Key, Ford app remote control, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as standard. Every Fathom will be able to run BlueCruise for hands-free highway driving. The company calls it next-gen BlueCruise. Two-way power is on the list, too, though Ford hasn’t said what it will be able to run.

What’s Behind the Fathom Name

Ford says the name draws on the fathom, a classic measure based on the span of open arms. The idea is a truck that welcomes you in. Ford points to an expansive interior and technology that adapts on the fly. There’s a lot more to this truck than you can see at first, according to Ford.

Specs Ford Hasn’t Shared Yet

You’ll need some patience with the numbers. Projected EPA-estimated driving range figures for the Fathom aren’t available yet, according to Ford. The Fathom page doesn’t list battery size, charging times, horsepower, towing capacity, payload, bed length, or dimensions either.

Ford’s sign-up form promises to keep shoppers posted on the road to the reveal, so the full picture is still coming. Until then, treat any range or towing numbers you see elsewhere as guesses.

Should You Wait for the Fathom?

Want an affordable electric truck with plenty of tech? If you don’t need it tomorrow, put the Fathom on your watch list. Its price opens the door for shoppers who’ve been waiting for EVs because of cost. Range will make or break it for some drivers, so wait for Ford’s EPA numbers before you lock in any plans. Need a truck sooner? A Maverick or Ranger can handle daily duty while the Fathom story plays out.
