  1. Mid-Gate: Literal SUV with Bed Attached?

    So I will ask again, what is the point? 2nd row storage behind the seat? Drive with it partially open but below the roof line? I just don't see one... Open to input...

  2. Mid-Gate: Literal SUV with Bed Attached?

    Interesting.... Thanks for posting. What would be the utility of this? Storage behind 2nd row? But you have to move stuff in the bed for it to open? I can't see this being better than a midgate due to additional height and drag at speed.

  3. A change to the Fathom site? - "Dealer sets selling price"

    https://www.grangerford.com/ Is down the road from me, near Des Moines, Iowa. They are probably the most well-known fly and drive dealer for Ford in the last few years. I've had a good experience there. I leased my Lightning from there and it was very pain-free. I'm happy with my experience...

  4. A change to the Fathom site? - "Dealer sets selling price"

    I hope Ford has better luck with this plan than they did with Retail Replenishment Program that focused solely on EVs.... https://fordauthority.com/2025/02/ford-ev-inventory-hub-system-scrapped-after-dealer-pushback/

  5. Fathom parked and on 245/50R20 Michelin e.Primacy tires (@ Ford WHQ)

    Point taken but I will counter that wages haven't kept up with inflation... Less money to go around for bills...

  6. Pre-pre-order interest list

    Thanks for the response! Has this been open for a while ?

  8. Farley says “It’s going to be a heck of an effort to launch this [Fathom] at scale, at cost, on time.”

    Update 10/01/2026: A Ford spokesperson told Electrek, “We’ve said previously, ‘Fathom will launch in 2027 ‘- and there is no change to that.” https://electrek.co/2026/10/01/fords-30000-ev-pickup-production-launch-faces-uncertainty/

    Bummer but not surprised given my day job being in the same industry and understanding first hand how these timelines slip...

  11. Fathom Frunk Patent Images Revealed

    Great find! I hope this comes to fruition. Looks useful.

  12. Ford Power Promise Program - Will Ford include the Fathom?

    When I leased my Lightning, they offered $500 credit or the Power Promise. I took the $500 off my lease total and bought an Emporia refurbished charger for $372 and wired it in myself. Money ahead. But I prefer DIY methods. Do some research on the third party that Ford used for this and some...

  13. Will the Heat Pump system in the Fathom be as complicated as the one in the Mach-E?

    I have the fogging issue every once in a while on my Lightning. As mentioned, it's when relative humidity outside is very high. But I absolutely hated the Tesla Model 3 that I drove and the software overriding the settings that I picked on a long road trip. It drove me crazy enough that I...

  14. Reactions from 6 Ford plant employees upon seeing the Fathom EV truck / Ford Universal EV Platform

    I personally don't like this. I hope that this vehicle still feels like a Ford and not 100% like a Tesla. @rileyfromford are you listening? For the record, I'm not against Tesla. I just don't want a Model 3 experience from an infotainment and HVAC controls perspective. I want it to still feel...
