Everything We Know About Ford’s Small‑Battery Electric Pickup

Ford is developing an all‑new electric pickup aimed at budget‑conscious buyers, and the latest reports suggest it will use an unusually compact battery. According to insiders cited by Ford Authority, the truck will employ a lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) battery pack with around 51 kWh of usable energy, roughly 15 percent smaller than the 60.5 kWh unit in the BYD Atto and significantly smaller than the packs in the Mustang Mach‑E and F‑150 Lightning【482373031160501†L214-L229】. That efficiency should help keep the price down while still delivering meaningful range.

The pickup will run on a 400‑V electrical architecture and may even be capable of powering a home during outages【482373031160501†L233-L240】. It’s expected to be offered only in four‑door form and could carry a starting price around $30,000【482373031160501†L233-L240】. Production is rumored to take place at Louisville Assembly with capacity for about 190,000 units annually, and the truck could arrive as soon as 2027【482373031160501†L233-L240】.

What to Expect

• Compact yet capable – A smaller battery pack reduces weight and cost, while LFP chemistry offers long life and consistent performance.
• Versatile platform – The architecture is rumored to support up to eight different body styles, and Ford has trademarked the Ranchero and Dark Horse Boss names【482373031160501†L245-L249】.
• Affordable entry into EVs – With pricing targeted around $30 k, this model could make electric trucks accessible to many drivers.
