Ford's EV pickup patent adds a folding cabin-to-bed pass-through and sliding cargo floor
Ford's new EV pickup patent details a folding cabin-to-bed pass-through and sliding cargo floor, enabling long items to fit and boosting hauling versatility.
A new design outlined in a patent filing for future Ford EV pickups proposes a special folding panel that separates the cabin from the bed.
When there’s a need to haul long or bulky items, the driver can quickly remove this partition, letting cargo pass unobstructed through the entire vehicle.
There’s also a sliding cargo-floor system, allowing the load to sit comfortably inside the cabin. Together, these solutions greatly expand the ability to transport lengthy items—think building materials, furniture, or sports gear—making Ford pickups more versatile and easier to live with day to day. The concept reads as a practical, real-world upgrade that tackles a common hauling challenge with simple, clever packaging.
