Edmunds Top RatedElectric Truck
2026 Rivian R1T
Stylish, capable and incredibly powerful
February 18th, 2026
Why did the R1T win?
The R1T is undoubtedly a stylish electric pickup. And in the years since its debut, Rivian has addressed numerous bugs and refined the R1T to the point where it's the first electric pickup we recommend. It is impressively quick and boasts sharp handling, and with the Max battery pack, it's the most powerful electric truck on sale today. The Rivian went 390 miles on a single charge in the Edmunds EV Range Test and scored a 7.9 Edmunds Rating out of 10. It isn't cheap at $72,885, but the R1T can be a great value.
"Any way you slice it, the Rivian R1T is a powerhouse. From its tech to its literal abundance of power, this electric pickup truck is fast, capable off-road, and the best-looking in its class." — Gabriel Vega Cortés, editor, vehicle testing

If you don't want to throw down $75K on a pickup, may we recommend the GMC Sierra EV? Don't worry: You can spend gobs of money on an ultra-luxe version of the truck. However, the base model comes well equipped and starts at $64,495. The extended-range and Max Range models went a whopping 429 miles and 507 miles on a single charge, respectively, in the Edmunds EV Range Test, and the Sierra EV earned a 7.2 Edmunds Rating too.
