Ford Fathom: Ford's New Midsize Electric Truck Coming in 2027
Ford Fathom is Ford's first midsize electric truck, built on the all-new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform, with preorders opening early 2027. Every Fathom ships BlueCruise-capable and features bi-directional power, a large touchscreen, and Apple Maps deeply embedded into the vehicle. Here is what Koons Ford Annapolis knows right now, and how to get in line before deliveries begin later in 2027.
Why Koons Ford Annapolis for Your Ford Fathom
Koons Ford has been part of the Annapolis community for years, and the Ford Fathom represents exactly the kind of forward-looking product that the Koons team is built to support. When preorders open in early 2027, having a direct relationship with a local Ford dealer is the fastest path to securing your place in line.
Koons Ford Annapolis has a dedicated team already briefed on the Fathom's technology, powertrain architecture, and delivery timeline. When customers in Annapolis, Bowie, Waldorf, or anywhere across the Maryland region have questions about the Universal Electric Vehicle Platform, BlueCruise capability, or the Apple Maps integration, our sales team can answer them directly rather than sending you to a website chatbot.
The Fathom is an entirely new nameplate, built from the ground up. That means first-time buyers deserve a dealer that has invested in understanding it. Koons Ford has done that work.
What Makes the Ford Fathom Different
The Fathom is not a modified version of an existing Ford truck. It is built on Ford's new Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) Platform, a ground-up architecture designed specifically to make advanced electric vehicle technology more accessible.
A few things stand out from what Ford has confirmed so far.
Passenger Space
Ford projects the Fathom will offer more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4. For a midsize truck, that is a meaningful claim, and it is made possible by the UEV Platform's architecture rather than a traditional truck body-on-frame layout.
Cargo Flexibility
The Fathom combines a traditional open bed with a front trunk (frunk), giving drivers two separate cargo areas. Shoppers who use their truck bed for tools or gear can still keep a separate, protected space up front for valuables or groceries.
Bi-Directional Power
The Fathom is confirmed to offer vehicle-to-load or vehicle-to-home power capability, letting drivers use the truck's battery as a mobile power source. For contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who wants backup power at home, this is a practical, real-world feature.
BlueCruise Hardware Standard
Every Ford Fathom will ship with the hardware required for Ford's next-generation BlueCruise hands-free highway driving. BlueCruise operates on designated hands-free Blue Zones and provides a hands-off, eyes-on driving experience on compatible highways. The Fathom's BlueCruise integration with Apple Maps is designed to deliver a smoother on-ramp to off-ramp transition than prior generations.
Apple Maps, Embedded
This is not a phone-projection setup. Apple Maps is built directly into the Fathom's software and hardware stack, providing turn-by-turn directions with natural language, real-time traffic, and intelligent EV routing that includes battery preconditioning before you arrive at a charger.
Digital Key
Standard across the lineup, the digital key lets drivers use a smartphone to lock, unlock, and start the Fathom without a traditional key fob.

Preorder Availability and What to Expect
Ford has confirmed that preorders for the Fathom open in early 2027, with customer deliveries beginning later in 2027. The vehicle will launch in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Koons Ford Annapolis will handle preorder logistics directly. Whether a deposit is required will be determined at the dealer level, and our team will communicate that clearly to anyone who expresses interest early. The cleanest way to avoid ambiguity is to contact us directly so we can walk you through the process as details are confirmed by Ford.
Battery options beyond the standard-range configuration have not been announced yet. Ford has confirmed a long-range battery option is planned and that its upcharge will be significantly lower than what Lightning buyers experienced, but specific range figures and pricing tiers are not yet public. This page will be updated as Ford confirms additional specifications.
Drivers from Annapolis, Edgewater, Glen Burnie, and the broader Anne Arundel County area who register their interest now will be first to hear from Koons Ford when preorder windows open.

Federal EV tax credits and state-level incentives in Maryland may apply to the Fathom depending on final pricing and buyer eligibility. Our finance team stays current on those programs so buyers do not have to sort through IRS guidance on their own. Exact credit eligibility will depend on income thresholds, vehicle classification, and final Fathom specifications, all of which will be clearer closer to the 2027 launch date.
