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's CEO has described the new Ford Fathom as a "Model T moment" for the company. But the EV pickup is unlikely to live up to lofty expectations, and maybe it doesn't have to.

AutoSpies.com - Protecting car buyers everywhere.

The $29,945 Ford Fathom gets a pretty decent list of standard equipment.

The truck will be called the Fathom, instead of reviving the Ranchero name as we previously theorized, and will start at less than $30,000.

Should Slate be terrified?

For nearly a year now, Ford has been teasing big things at low prices from its next generation of EVs, a "Model T moment" built atop a new platform assembled in an innovative way. Today, we know the name and price of the first product to take advantage of that supposed moment: a midsize electric truck called Fathom that starts at just $28,350. That's not exactly great news for fans of the Slate Truck, the new electric upstart that's leaning hard into its feature-free nature by painting itself as the ultimate DIY machine. Paint, though, is among the long line of modern niceties omitted to help the Slate Truck reach its starting price of $24, … Read the full story at The Verge.

Due in "fall 2027," Ford said Thursday that it won't reveal what Fathom looks like until early next year.

The automaker sold just 2,065 EVs in the U.S. last month, most of them being Mustang Mach-E crossovers.

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 first offering will be a $30,000 electric truck, engineered for efficiency and also — perhaps most importantly — profitability. The truck will be revealed in 2027, but Ford plans on building a whole family of low-cost electric vehicles at its Kentucky assembly plant. 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

While Ford hasn't yet confirmed the name—or many other details, for that matter—its upcoming EV aims to change the game.

The root cause hasn’t been determined yet.
