The Ford Fathom and Slate Truck could create one of the biggest affordable electric pickup battles of 2027. With both targeting prices below $30,000, the differences between these 2 electric trucks could determine which one attracts mainstream buyers.
The Slate Truck takes an extremely simple approach, starting at $24,950 before destination charges and giving owners the ability to customize the vehicle with additional equipment. Ford is taking almost the opposite approach with the Fathom, targeting a starting price of $28,350, or approximately $29,945 including charges, while promising a more complete vehicle from the factory.
That creates an interesting comparison. Is saving roughly $3,545 enough to justify the Slate Truck's more basic design and approximately 205 mile range, or will buyers spend a little more for the Ford?
There are still major questions surrounding both vehicles. Slate Auto must prove customers really want a minimalist electric pickup, while Ford must prove it can manufacture its new affordable electric vehicle at scale and keep real world prices close to its target.
