A lot of attention has been on the upcoming Ford Fathom<\/a>, which has been grabbing headlines for its $30,000 price tag. And yes, it’s cool that it’s cheap and uses a new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform meant to streamline production<\/a> and use fewer parts.<\/p>\n

But… It’s just a truck. Every leak and sneak peek we’ve seen shows a pretty basic and expected pickup truck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s probably what a lot of Americans want, to be honest. America loves the Ford F-150 (it was the best-selling vehicle in the country for a decade). I’m sure the idea of buying a cheap, electric version of the Ford F-150 is quite appealing to some families.<\/p>\n

But I’ve been thinking about the Ford Mustang truck.<\/p>\n

Meet the Mustang truck<\/h2>\n

Ford is always thinking of new ways to use the “Mustang” name, sometimes for evil. We have the electric SUV, which already feels like a stretch, but Ford has also been toying with the idea of an off-roading Mustang and a pickup Mustang.<\/p>\n

There have been a lot of whispers and rumors about the Mustang truck, but we finally have solid evidence that it has existed all along. We weren’t crazy! Well, not for this reason.<\/p>\n

Ford Heritage Fleet Manager Matt Korczyk recently shared a set of images of the Mustang Ute. Yes, a Mustang pickup. And it’s not an AI rendering. It’s a concept developed by the Ford EVB Metal Shop.<\/p>\n

Korczyk wrote: “[It was built] as a way to train apprentices by allowing them to get real-world, hands-on experience by way of building a concept car. The team took a normal Mustang and turned it into a handcrafted, one-off concept \u2018Ute.’\u201d<\/p>\n

It apparently took hundreds of hours to build. But it seems it was meant to moreso showcase trade skills rather than make a running vehicle.<\/p>\n
