Forget the idea that electric trucks are just silent tools for commuters. These EVs don’t just plug in—they pull weight, turn heads, and back up their looks with serious capability. Whether it’s suspension tech, range, or just how well they handle real work, these 10 trucks show that electric can still mean exciting without trying too hard.
Rivian R1T
The Rivian R1T doesn’t just look different—it behaves differently too. With four independent electric motors pushing 835 horsepower and 908 lb-ft of torque, this thing moves like a sports car but works like a truck. It can tow up to 11,000 pounds and hit 60 mph in about 3 seconds, which is… unexpected.
Underneath, it rides on a fully independent air suspension system that can raise or lower up to 6.5 inches. Inside, it’s well-finished without being fussy—big touchscreen, solid materials, and useful storage like the gear tunnel. This isn’t your weekend golf cart.
Ford F-150 Lightning
The F-150 Lightning is what happens when you electrify a best-seller without messing it up. Dual motors push out up to 580 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque, and it can tow 10,000 pounds. With the extended-range battery, it has a 320-mile EPA estimate.
It rides on an independent rear suspension—something the gas version never had. That helps with stability and ride comfort, especially when unloaded. Inside, it’s familiar Ford territory with a 15.5-inch touchscreen and fold-flat front seats. It still feels like an F-150, just faster and quieter.
Tesla Cybertruck AWD
Say what you will about the styling—it’s impossible to ignore. The dual-motor AWD version has 600 hp and 317 miles of range, while the tri-motor Cyberbeast boosts that to 845 hp and a 2.6-second 0–60. That’s not a typo. Towing? Up to 11,000 pounds.
Under the angular skin is a steer-by-wire system and adaptive air suspension that adjusts ride height on the fly. The cabin leans minimalist with a massive center display and panoramic glass roof. It’s definitely not trying to be traditional, but it’ll outwork a lot of trucks that are.
Chevrolet Silverado EV
The Silverado EV skips the frame and goes full unibody with GM’s Ultium platform. That lets it pack up to 754 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque in WT or RST trim. Range tops out around 450 miles depending on the battery spec.
What makes it different isn’t just power—it’s the way it handles. Four-wheel steering and a fully independent suspension help it drive more like a big crossover than a truck. The interior feels modern without going overboard, and the 17-inch touchscreen actually feels well integrated.
GMC Hummer EV SUT
The Hummer EV doesn’t apologize for being excessive. The Edition 1 brings 1,000 horsepower from three motors and does 0–60 in around 3.5 seconds. Range lands at about 329 miles, and it can tow up to 7,500 pounds.
It’s heavy—over 9,000 pounds—but rides on adaptive air suspension and even has CrabWalk, thanks to rear-wheel steering. The cabin is big, loud in design, and full of screens, but it still feels well put together. It’s not efficient, but it’s definitely entertaining.
Ram 1500 REV
Ram’s answer to the Lightning comes with up to 654 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque. It’s expected to offer over 500 miles of range with the larger battery option, and towing figures land around 14,000 pounds, which puts it at the top of the EV game.
It rides on a multi-link independent rear suspension with adaptive dampers. That’s a big deal when you’re hauling or trailering. Inside, the 14.5-inch touchscreen blends in better than you’d expect, and there’s decent physical control retention. It doesn’t feel like a beta test.
Canoo Pickup Truck
The Canoo pickup takes a smaller approach—this is no full-size workhorse. Dual motors can push out up to 600 hp, and range comes in around 200 miles. It’s more about utility and maneuverability than brute strength.
The truck uses a skateboard chassis with double wishbone suspension up front and a multi-link setup in back. Its cab-forward design means better visibility and more space in a shorter footprint. The interior is stripped-back, but the layout is clever and modular. Think city contractor, not ranch king.
Lordstown Endurance
Built for fleet work, the Lordstown Endurance runs with four in-wheel hub motors making 550 hp combined. It’s not flashy, but it is different. Range sits at around 200 miles, and it can tow up to 8,000 pounds.
The suspension setup is double wishbone in front and leaf spring/multi-link in the rear—old-school with a twist. The interior is functional and clean, with a digital dash and decent room, but it’s clearly utility-focused. It’s not trying to sell you lifestyle branding.
Atlis XT (now Phoenix XT)
Still in the prototype phase, but worth mentioning. The Atlis XT promises 500 miles of range and 35,000 pounds of towing with a fifth-wheel setup. Power comes from four motors—one at each wheel—with torque vectoring capabilities.
It rides on a custom ladder frame chassis with an independent suspension all around. The interior sketches show a practical layout with usable space and a mix of digital and physical controls. If it hits production anywhere close to its claims, it’ll be one to watch.
Alpha Wolf
The Alpha Wolf is more of a compact electric truck aimed at folks who want utility without the bulk. Single or dual motors push around 275 to 300 hp, and range claims sit at about 250–275 miles.
It uses a unibody platform with independent suspension front and rear. The cabin is basic but clean, with analog touches like knobs and toggles that a lot of buyers actually prefer. It’s sized more like an old-school Ranger—compact, usable, and not pretending to be anything else.
