The only three electric pickups currently on sale in the US, the Ford F-150, the Rivian R1T and the GMC Hummer EV are also the quickest trucks on the market too. We haven’t experienced the Hummer accelerating, although its performance specs are really impressive, especially given its weight, but we have experienced the other two and they pull so much stronger than any previous ICE truck.
The Fast Lane Truck wanted to see just how big a performance difference there is by lining up a Ford F-150 Lightning and a hybrid variant, the 702 horsepower Ram TRX and a Rivian R1T. They decided to first race the two Ford models against one another, and even though the F-150 hybrid is very strong with its 430 horsepower, the nearly 1,100 pounds heavier Lightning (which was the Extended Range 580 horsepower model) made the hybrid look like it was standing still.
