Ford Fathom™ midsize electric truck production begins at Louisville Assembly Plant next year, following a $2 billion factory retool.
Watch how the new Universal EV Production System is changing the way electric vehicles are assembled.
In late 2025, Louisville Assembly Plant went dark for a complete retool. Crews stripped out gas-vehicle tooling in the 3 million square foot facility, hauling out thousands of tons of steel until the factory floor stood empty.
What replaced it: Ford's bold and new Universal EV Production System, tearing up the traditional assembly line and re-inventing it into three parallel build paths — front clip, rear clip, and battery deck for efficiency. It's partly enabled by the use of large unicastings, where a single aluminum casting replaces dozens of stamped and welded parts in the front and rear, plus a battery deck that doubles as the vehicle's floor and serves as part of its structure.
Learn more about how the Ford team is quickly bringing this new electric vehicle production system to life ahead of the Fathom™ launch. Preorders begin early 2027.
Power your home when the grid goes down using your Ford truck.
Your Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid (7.2kw) or F-150 Lightning (9.6kw) with the 240V Pro Power Onboard outlet can do more than get you where you're going — it can help keep hardwired essential appliances in your home running during a power outage. Paired with a GenerLink transfer switch, GenerLok cord, and Ford Vehicle Connector, your truck becomes a powerful backup power source.
In this video, we walk you through every step:
✅ Confirming a power outage
✅ Positioning your vehicle safely near your electric meter
✅ Turning off your main breaker and circuits
✅ Connecting the GenerLok cord to your GenerLink transfer switch
✅ Attaching the Ford Vehicle Connector to your truck's 240V Pro Power Onboard outlet
✅ Activating Pro Power Onboard from your truck's touchscreen or Ford app
✅ Safely restoring power to essential circuits
✅ Monitoring your home's wattage and fuel/battery level in real time
⚠️ Before you start: A GenerLink transfer switch must be professionally installed by a licensed electrician or your utility company prior to use.
⚠️ Safety first: Always follow the safety guidelines included with your GenerLink system and your F-150 owner's manual. Only operate your vehicle outdoors.

⚠️ Unplug when power is restored: Always unplug your truck from the GenerLink device once grid power is restored.

6 Things to Consider
Before Buying a Commercial Vehicle
Purchasing a commercial vehicle is a big investment, and the right choice should be based on more than just the truck you like best. The goal is to find a vehicle that fits how your business actually operates today—and where it’s headed tomorrow.
Before making your decision, consider:
Payload & towing needs: What will you regularly carry or tow?
Daily use: Think about mileage, jobsite conditions, highway driving, and stop-and-go use.
Gas, diesel, or electric: Consider fuel costs, range, performance, and how the vehicle will be used.
Upfit requirements: Will you need racks, toolboxes, service bodies, shelving, or other specialized equipment?
Total cost of ownership: Look beyond the purchase price to fuel, maintenance, insurance, and expected lifespan.
Future growth: Buying for what your business may need tomorrow can help prevent outgrowing your vehicle too quickly.
The right commercial vehicle can become one of your business’s most valuable tools. Before you buy, let’s talk about what you need your vehicle to accomplish so we can find the right fit for the job.
