Summary
Ford’s Fathom electric pickup is targeting a 4.5-second 0-60 mph run, a benchmark that would put the low-priced midsize truck ahead of five older performance cars.
That target would make the Fathom 3.5 seconds quicker to 60 mph than the 2027 Slate Pickup, underscoring Ford’s push to pair affordability with unusually strong acceleration.
The five cars cited as slower are the 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 at 4.9 seconds, E39 BMW M5 and 2013 Mustang GT convertible at 4.8, 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage at 4.7, and 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP at 4.6.
Ford has not disclosed much else about the truck, but it is expected in 2027 ahead of the 2028 model year and will ride on the company’s Universal Electric Vehicle platform.
