Ford Fathom: Canton Ford’s Guide to the All-New Midsize Electric Truck

Ford Fathom is Ford’s first midsize electric truck, built ground-up on the new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform. It offers bi-directional power, a large touchscreen, digital key, and BlueCruise-capable hardware standard on every unit. Read what’s confirmed so far and contact Canton Ford for preorder details.

What Is the Ford Fathom?

The Ford Fathom is an all-new nameplate, not a variant of any existing Ford truck. Ford built it on the Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) Platform, a ground-up architecture designed to deliver affordability without cutting corners on capability. Ford Fathom announcement.

The name itself carries meaning. “Fathom” traces to the Old English word fæthm, meaning “outstretched arms,” and its more familiar modern sense refers to measuring depth in water. Ford chose it to reflect the depth of engineering that went into the vehicle’s development.

Key confirmed features include:

  • BlueCruise-capable hardware on every unit. BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free highway driving assistant, designed for use on designated Blue Zone highways. The Fathom’s BlueCruise integrates with Apple Maps for a more connected on-ramp to off-ramp experience.
  • Apple Maps embedded natively into the vehicle’s hardware and software stack. This is not a phone-projection setup. Apple Maps is built directly into the Fathom’s displays, delivering turn-by-turn navigation with natural language directions, real-time traffic, and intelligent EV routing with battery preconditioning.
  • Bi-directional power capability, allowing the Fathom to send power out as well as receive it.
  • A large, high-resolution touchscreen and digital key as standard technology.
  • Projected interior volume exceeding a Toyota RAV4, plus a frunk and a truck bed for cargo flexibility that a traditional SUV cannot match.

Preorders open in early 2027. Deliveries are projected to begin later in 2027.
