'A New Silhouette': Ford's $30,000 EV Truck Will Be Something Very Different
"On The Verge's Decoder podcast, Ford's head honcho referred to the revolutionary new EV as really not a pickup, but rather as having a new silhouette. What's more, the American automaker is planning on offering a digital experience that's never been seen before. Ford is taking a lot of risks with its revolutionary Universal EV Platform that will underpin a series of affordable electric cars starting in 2027."
""Our first body style will be a pickup, but it's really not a pickup. I would say it's a new silhouette," Farley said during The Verge's Decoder podcast. "That's unexpected, but there's more: What I mean by that is that it has more room than a RAV4, the best-selling passenger car in the US. That doesn't include its frunk and pickup truck bed.""
Ford plans a $30,000 mid-size electric vehicle that will debut on a new Universal EV Platform beginning in 2027. The first body style is described as a pickup in function but as a new silhouette in form, offering interior space reportedly exceeding a Toyota RAV4 plus additional storage in a frunk and bed. The vehicle will use unibody construction and an innovative three-large-casting structure aimed at eliminating unnecessary components and improving packaging. Ford intends to offer an unprecedented digital experience and is taking significant engineering and design risks to deliver affordable, practical electric vehicles.
