Sharing its platform with the Bronco Sport SUV, the Maverick has four doors and a spacious interior with clever storage solutions. Ford Maverick is a true game-changer in the revived compact pickup truck class.

While slightly smaller than the Lightning, the R1T finds its sweet spot between mid-size and full-size trucks. Its unique and eye-catching design sets it apart, as does its impressive versatility for carrying cargo. Not only does it feature a front trunk like some other EVs, but it also has an enclosed cargo area positioned between the cargo bed and rear seats.

It generates 754 horsepower and an astounding 785 pound-feet of torque. GMC claims it can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a remarkable 4.5 seconds. But that’s not all—the Sierra EV comes equipped with an air suspension, allowing the truck to raise and lower as needed.
Regarding towing capacity, GMC claims that the Sierra EV can handle a maximum of 9,500 pounds. While the exact specifications for achieving this capacity have yet to be confirmed.
This vehicle has a great driving range of 400 miles on a single charge, owing to its sizable battery pack (exact size yet to be disclosed by GMC).
2024 Atlis XT
At number four on our list, we have the exciting 2024 Atlis XT. It has received great attention, despite being a relatively lesser-known brand. And it’s not without reason. The Atlis XT features a distinctive box-like design and packs a punch with its four powerful motors, delivering a remarkable 600 horsepower. But that’s just the beginning.
What sets the Atlis XT apart is its massive 250-kilowatt-hour battery pack, which the company claims can provide an impressive 500-mile range on a full charge. And hold onto your seat because the towing capacity of the Atlis XT is absolutely mind-blowing, set at a great 35,000 pounds. Yes, you heard that right!
With the option to include a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch, the Atlis XT is ready to easily tackle heavy-duty towing tasks. Starting at around $45,000 and reaching up to $85,000 for higher-end variants, this vehicle offers a compelling value proposition for electric truck enthusiasts.

F-150 Lightning
Coming in at number five, we have the Ford F-150 Lightning, an electrifying pickup truck that combines utility with incredible speed. With its amazing range and towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds, the Lightning proves that EVs can be just as capable as their gas-powered counterparts. But it doesn’t stop there.
The Lightning’s acceleration is jaw-dropping, going from 0 to 60 mph in a blazing 4 seconds flat. And when it comes to stopping power, it impresses with a braking distance similar to that of a standard F-150. Handling? No problem. This truck easily navigates twisty roads and highways, providing a stress-free driving experience.
But what sets the Lightning apart is its convenience. The spacious front trunk and Pro Power Onboard feature make it perfect for any job, whether hauling cargo or powering tools.
