Ford's Next Electric Truck Is Coming in 2025, Dubbed 'Project T3'
Ford's second electric pickup truck will go into production in 2025 at BlueOval City—a expansive, 3,600-acre factory in Tennessee dedicated to cranking out battery-powered pickups.
The new truck currently goes by the codename Project T3, short for "Trust The Truck." Ford says it will be a truck "people can trust in the digital age–one that’s fully updatable, constantly improving, and supports towing, hauling, exportable power and endless new innovations owners will want."
It's the second EV truck from Ford, the first being the F-150 Lightning. Since the Lightning launched in spring 2022, it's been met with stellar customer reviews and a backlog of orders Ford has struggled to keep up with, despite several price hikes.
"Ford already has shifted people’s expectations about the capability, driving enjoyment and productivity EV pickups can deliver," Ford says. "Ford’s Project T3 aims to further grow and reinvent the Ford truck franchise."
The Dearborn-based company is light on details about the truck, keeping its official name, price, and EV range under wraps for now.
“PJ O’Rourke once described American pickups as ‘a back porch with an engine attached.’ Well, this new truck is going to be like the Millennium Falcon–with a back porch attached,” says Ford CEO Jim Farley.

"A factory of the future that people from all over the world will want to tour.”
