Most Powerful Pickup Trucks Of 2025, Ranked From Beastly To Insane
You can’t talk about trucks in 2025 without talking about power. Horsepower, torque, towing—everyone’s chasing bigger numbers, but not all trucks know how to put that power to good use. Here are the most powerful pickups of 2025, ranked from least to most potent. You’re going to want to stick around until the end.
2024 Ford F-150 Lightning: 580 HP, $62,995
Electric workhorse meets modern refinement here. With 580 horsepower under its belt, the Lightning accelerates faster than you’d expect for something of this size. The 320-mile range isn’t bad, but watch it nosedive when you’ve got a trailer hooked up. Nonetheless, the trunk storage alone cements its place as one of the most practical EV trucks on the market.
2025 Ram 1500 REV: 420 Or 540 HP, $42,270+
Ram’s first major electric foray doesn’t pull punches; it rules. With 420 or 540 horsepower, up to 500 miles of range, and towing maxing out at 14,000 lbs—it’s pretty impressive on paper. Real-world range with heavy loads? We’ll see. But credit where it’s due: Ram didn’t slap an EV badge on a commuter because this one’s got muscle.
2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R: 700 HP, $109,145
Ford took the Raptor, threw in a 5.2L supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500, tuned it for torque (640 lb-ft, to be exact), and unleashed chaos. Sure, it’ll “only” tow 8,700 lbs, but let’s be honest: no one’s buying the Raptor R for its practical towing stats. This is a muscle truck through and through.
2024 Ram 1500 TRX: 702 HP, $97,485+
Here’s your last chance at a classic before Ram axes it. The TRX, armed with a 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8, spits out 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. It edges out the Raptor R in torque but lacks the same sharpness in ride refinement. Still, if you want that old-school grunt, this is it.
2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali: Up To 760 HP, $89,900+
The Sierra EV doesn’t flex the most horsepower, but its 760 horses are nothing to dismiss. Factor in its 460 miles of range, innovative midgate design, and roomy Denali interior, it’s easy to see why it’s attracting attention. Pricey, sure—but you get a truck that handles utility without sacrificing comfort.
2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV: 760 HP, $73,100
The Silverado EV might share the spotlight with its GMC sibling, but its slightly lower price tag and an additional 40-mile range give it extra appeal. It’s quick, negotiates corners surprisingly well, and offers flexible cargo space thanks to its midgate design. The lack of Apple CarPlay might irk some, but this is still a beast beneath the surface.
2024 Tesla Cybertruck: 834 HP, $81,985
Tesla’s much-hyped Cybertruck polarizes opinion, but there’s no denying its numbers. The tri-motor Cyberbeast churns out 834 horsepower. Inside, visibility is questionable, and controls are overly touchscreen-dependent, but you can’t argue with that raw acceleration paired with a locking bed and quirky storage options.
2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger: 663 HP, $60,000-$80,000
Ram is returning the Ramcharger badge later this year, but flipping the script—this hybrid will use its 3.6L V6 strictly as a generator, feeding electric motors to produce 663 hp and a 690-mile range. Think of it as the anti-lightning: you get electric power without the typical EV range anxiety.
2025 GMC Hummer EV Pickup: 1,000 HP, $98,845
The updated version doesn’t stray far. It’s still packing the same 1,000-hp tri-motor setup, keeping its over-the-top personality intact. It goes 0–60 in 3.3 seconds, weighs nearly five tons, and has a price tag to match. The braking distance could use some work, but if you’re after straight-line thrills, this won’t disappoint.
2025 Ford Super Duty: Up to 500 HP, $47,295+
It’s not the flashiest truck here, but in terms of real-world utility, the Super Duty lineup is king. Its 500-hp, 1,200 lb-ft Power Stroke diesel engine shrugs off 40,000-lb trailers with ease. Inside, the Max Recline seats and workstation console are underrated luxuries when clocking long work hours.
