Ford Names The Fathom And Announces Pricing

Fathom Home Power, Explained
Bidirectional means electricity can flow both ways: into the truck to charge it, and back out to power things. Here is what Ford has said about how the Fathom works with your home.
No Wall-Mounted Inverter
Moving power between a truck battery and a home has traditionally needed costly external equipment like a home inverter. Ford says the Fathom does not need a separate wall-mounted inverter to supply over a projected 10 kW of AC power to a home. Electrek reports the inverter is built into the truck.
Ford's wording: available bidirectional AC power
Home Power Management
Charge the truck when electricity costs less, then use its stored energy to help power your home when electricity costs more. That may lower your bills.
You need: Ford Home Power Station, utility approval, and an active Ford trial or plan
Home Backup Power
Keep your home running during an outage by drawing on the truck's stored energy.
You need: Ford Home Power Station and Ford Home Backup Power Panel. Utility notice or approval may be required.
Ford expects the Home Power Station to cost about half as much as its first-generation bidirectional charger.
Ford expects the home backup hardware to cost at least 60% less than its first-generation equipment.
These are Ford's expectations, not a price list. TechCrunch reports that Ford quoted around $650 for the Home Power Station and around $2,100 for the Station plus Home Backup Power Panel, before installation, while Electrek says Ford has not released prices. Treat those figures as estimates. Ford has not announced installation costs.
Working With Utilities
Ford says it is working with utilities to prepare for connecting these trucks to the grid. A Ford working group formed in July includes:
- American Electric Power
- BC Hydro
- Consumers Energy
- Exelon
- Pacific Gas and Electric
Ford notes that more than 3,000 utilities across the U.S. and Canada have largely unique interconnection processes. None of the five named utilities serves Washington State, and we have not seen a Washington utility announcement from Ford yet.
Not Announced Yet
As of October 27, 2026, Ford has not announced:
- Final prices for the Home Power Station and Home Backup Power Panel
- Installation costs
- Which trims include bidirectional power
- Washington utility programs
- EPA range, towing and payload
We will update this page when Ford shares more.

Ford Fathom Prototype Photos
Ford hasn't released full studio photography, but on September 1, 2026, CEO Jim Farley posted the first real photos — camouflaged prototypes testing near Las Vegas. Even disguised, they show an upright front end similar to the Maverick, unusually small mirrors (Ford says the 20% size cut alone is worth 1.5 miles of range), rounded wheel arches, and a visible rear spoiler.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ford Fathom™?
Ford's all-new, affordable midsize electric pickup truck — the flagship vehicle on Ford's Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) platform, combining open-bed utility with spacious interior comfort and modern software.
What does the name "Fathom" mean?
From Old English fæthm ("outstretched arms"), also a unit measuring depth. Ford chose it to reflect a new depth of innovation.
How much will the Ford Fathom cost?
Starting MSRP of $28,350 for the base model with the standard-range battery (excluding taxes, title, license, and a $1,595 destination and delivery charge, for a starting total of $29,945). Ford has not announced pricing for the larger battery.
Is the Fathom an electric Ford Maverick or a Ranchero?
No. Before Ford's official announcement, this truck was widely rumored to revive the Ranchero name. It's an all-new, clean-sheet vehicle on Ford's UEV platform — not an electrified Maverick or Ranchero revival.
Are there official photos of the Fathom yet?
Not full studio shots. Ford's CEO released the first camouflaged prototype photos on September 1, 2026. See them on this page →
How does the Apple Maps navigation integration work?
The Fathom's navigation is powered by Apple Maps built directly into the vehicle's native display hardware and software, not just projected from your phone. The map data helps power next-gen BlueCruise hands-free driving, turn-by-turn navigation, and EV battery preconditioning. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard, per Ford.
Does every Ford Fathom come with BlueCruise?
Every Fathom is equipped from the factory with all required hardware for Ford's next-generation BlueCruise Level 2 hands-free highway driving system across qualified Blue Zones.
When do preorders open and when will deliveries start?
Ford says official preorders are planned for early 2027, with deliveries later in 2027. Ford opened its own preorder invitation list in October 2026. Reserving with Bowen Scarff Ford is free, and we will contact you as soon as Ford shares ordering details.
Can the Ford Fathom power a home?
Ford says it will be able to, with Ford's home hardware. In its October 27, 2026 announcement, Ford said the Fathom will offer available bidirectional AC power and does not need a separate wall-mounted inverter to supply over a projected 10 kW of AC power to a home. Electrek reports that the inverter is built into the truck. See the next two questions for what each home feature requires. Ford's announcement did not include a price list for the hardware.
What is the difference between Home Power Management and Home Backup Power?
Home Power Management lets you charge the truck when electricity costs less and use its stored energy to help power your home when electricity costs more, which may lower your bills. It requires the Ford Home Power Station, utility approval, and an active Ford trial or plan. Home Backup Power keeps your home running during an outage and requires the Ford Home Power Station and the Ford Home Backup Power Panel. Utility notice or approval may be required.
How much will the Fathom's home power hardware cost?
Ford's announcement did not include a price list. Ford expects the Home Power Station to cost about half as much as its first-generation bidirectional charger, and the home backup hardware to cost at least 60% less than its first-generation equipment. TechCrunch reports that Ford quoted around $650 for the Home Power Station and around $2,100 for the Station plus Home Backup Power Panel, while Electrek says Ford has not released prices. TechCrunch notes that none of those figures include installation, which for existing bidirectional chargers can run up to $10,000. Ford has not announced its own installation costs.
Is bidirectional power standard on every Fathom?
Not confirmed yet. Ford's October 27, 2026 announcement describes available bidirectional AC power but does not list which trims include it. AutoGuide reported in September that it would be standard on every trim, and Electrek reported on October 14 that all Fathom models will offer bidirectional charging capability. We will confirm here when Ford publishes a trim-by-trim equipment list.
Which utilities is Ford working with, and what about Washington?
Ford formed a utility working group in July that includes American Electric Power, BC Hydro, Consumers Energy, Exelon and Pacific Gas and Electric. None of them serves Washington State, and we have not seen a Washington utility announcement from Ford yet. Ford notes that more than 3,000 utilities across the U.S. and Canada have largely unique interconnection processes, and says its system is designed to meet UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 requirements. Check with your own utility before you plan a home installation.
What model year is the Ford Fathom?
Ford refers to it as the 2027 Ford Fathom. Some earlier reports, including AutoGuide in September, described deliveries as a 2028 model-year vehicle. We will update this page if Ford says otherwise.
What range will the Ford Fathom have?
Ford has not published an EPA range. The $28,350 starting price is for the standard-range battery. GreenCars reports that a Ford executive confirmed two battery sizes, and that the larger battery is likely to exceed 300 miles while the standard-range version likely will not. These are not Ford figures. We will post official range numbers when Ford announces them.
How much can the Ford Fathom tow?
Ford has not published a towing rating or payload. GreenCars reports that a Ford executive acknowledged towing capability will be modest at this price. If you tow regularly, compare it with the Ford Maverick, which was rated up to 4,000 pounds with the 4K Tow Package in 2026.
