Ford is doubling down on electric innovation with a new midsize pickup built on a clean-sheet EV platform and an all-new production process. Designed to be more affordable, more efficient, and easier to scale, this truck targets the heart of the market: buyers who want real utility without the full-size footprint or price tag.

Unlike the F-150 Lightning, this model rides on a dedicated midsize EV architecture engineered for lower costs, faster assembly, and improved margin potential. Ford is introducing a next-generation manufacturing system that streamlines components, simplifies wiring, and integrates battery and chassis systems for quicker builds and better quality. The result is a platform capable of supporting multiple body styles and battery sizes while keeping total cost of ownership down.

The truck aims to deliver everyday capability—think credible towing and payload for weekend projects—paired with the benefits of an EV: instant torque, quiet operation, and lower maintenance. Expect clever packaging, including a sizable front trunk and flexible interior storage, enabled by the flat-floor EV layout. Ford is also prioritizing software and services, with over-the-air updates, advanced driver-assistance features, and seamless home and public charging integrations.

Timing aligns with Ford’s broader EV reset: shift focus from expensive halo projects to profitable, mass-market models. The midsize segment is a strategic sweet spot—large enough to move the needle, compact enough to optimize efficiency. With a new platform and manufacturing playbook, Ford is positioning this pickup to compete on price against popular gas and hybrid rivals while offering a modern EV experience.

More details—name, trims, pricing, range, and battery options—are expected closer to launch. For now, the message is clear: Ford’s next EV push is about smart engineering and accessible value, and this midsize electric pickup is the linchpin.
