Ford's affordable electric truck now has a name: the Fathom, priced at $29,945 with a 300-mile range and deliveries starting sometime in 2027.

Ford F-150 Lightning or hybrid owners can now use their trucks to keep hard-wired home essentials running during an outage by connecting their truck directly to their home’s main electrical panel. And even better, it’s affordable.

The Ford Escape hybrid debuted in 2021, and five years later you may be looking for one to buy. Or wanting to sell yours. Here are the prices to expect.

The end of the Ford F-150 Lightning was also the start of a new era for the automaker. After failing to capture the market with the electric version of its popular F-Series truck, Ford is going back to the drawing board with its Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.

The heavily camouflaged truck has already been spotted out in the wild, with observers noting that it seems even smaller than the Maverick. Success isn’t guaranteed. Ford has struggled to make profitable EVs, forcing the company to take a staggering $19.5 billion hit on its EV investments in 2025. But
