Ford has announced that its upcoming sub-$30,000 pickup, the Fathom, will feature bidirectional charging capabilities, adding to a series of reveals about the affordable truck ahead of its release.

The reveal is the latest in a string of news Ford has shared about the sub-$30,000 pickup as the company builds anticipation ahead of the vehicle's launch.
While the announcement adds to the picture of what the affordable truck will offer, broader specifics — including full specifications and timing — remain as consumers wait for the vehicle to arrive. Further details about the Fathom have been released incrementally by Ford, with today's charging capability announcement forming part of that rollout.
