In May 2022, Fisker released a teaser offering a glimpse of a new electric truck alongside future models like the Fisker Ronin and Fisker PEAR. It is likely the updated Fisker Alaska that is developed for the lifestyle segment.
In the teaser, the Fisker electric truck has forward-slanted C-pillars, sport bars, and full-width tail lights. The first teaser of the Fisker Alaska was a tweet from Henrik Fisker, the company’s Chairman and CEO, and he took it down soon after posting it in February 2020. Nevertheless, it was a conversation starter about Fisker’s product strategy. A few changes to the original design were revealed in another image shared in December 2020.

The second teaser revealed that the upcoming electric pickup truck’s rear-end had changed since the first teaser was momentarily released by the CEO in February 2020. This picture showed the Fisker Alaska featuring wraparound tail lamps that extend onto the pickup truck’s sides in contrast to the inverted ‘L’ shape of the original teaser. Over the tailgate and above the marker lights, the edge of the cargo bed appears slimmer. Lastly, a wide cut-out seemed to have been made on the back glass. A full-width third brake light was also revealed in the second teaser.
In January 2021, the CEO shared another design of the Fisker electric truck via his Linkedin profile, which looked different from the previous teasers. Also, this one didn’t say Alaska on the body or tailgate.
The third teaser of the Fisker electric pickup didn’t wear the Alaska name on the tailgate. It became evident that Henrik Fisker was toying with ideas in his sketchbook for this segment. Image Source: LinkedIn/Henrik Fisker

The design in the third teaser looked sportier, but the upright tailgate and the meaner-looking tail lamps of the second teaser were more attractive. Moreover, Fisker said that the final design will be way more radical, suggesting a deviation towards a more unconventional look. Perhaps, the fourth teaser revealed in May 2022 (the story’s featured image) previews the final design? Let’s wait and see!
The Fisker electric truck should be based on the same platform as the Fisker Ocean compact SUV and sport similar hardware and interior. However, unlike in the SUV, a rear-wheel drive option may not be offered, making it an AWD model by default. The battery pack capacity should be more than 80 kWh and the EPA-estimated range around 300 miles.
The Fisker Electric truck could be manufactured alongside the Fisker Pear by Foxconn in Lordstown (Ohio), USA, or by Magna in Austria, sharing the production line with the SUV. We don’t expect the electric truck to go on sale before 2025.
