Fisker Alaska is built on the FT31 platform, a modified and stretched Ocean SUV platform. In production form, it will fit somewhere between a compact and mid-size pickup truck segment.
At first glance, the electric truck appears to have the silhouette of a Hyundai Santa Cruz – its raked C-pillar slopes into the bed, and the design is an evolution of the Ocean SUV. The Alaska has a 4.5-foot bed, which extends to 7.5 feet – partly thanks to another "Houdini trunk," which in this application is a midgate that completely rolls down.
With the rolled-down midgate and an opened trunk gate, the bed's length increases to 9.6 feet. Customers will also be able to fold the rear seats flat, and open up additional room. Fisker's focus on extracting maximum space with quirky tricks like the Houdini trunk is pretty remarkable.

The expected driving range is between 230 to 340 miles (370 to 547 kilometers), and it's likely to use the Ocean's battery and power units.
CEO Henrik Fisker demonstrated how the truck's center console houses the world's largest cup holder, which appeared to house a one-gallon bottle. Another quirky feature is a "cowboy hat holder" above the rear seats, alongside the usual suite of features like California mode that we've already seen on the Ocean.
The Fisker Alaska price will be $45,400 before incentives, and will likely qualify for the federal tax credit that could drop its starting price to $37,900. The production version is expected to roll out in December 2024.
