While there may not be many all-electric trucks to choose from at the end of 2024, more are on the way despite some delays. Until then, the small selection of battery-powered workhorses currently available is putting in the work.
Every available electric truck has a max towing capacity of over 10,000. While many have a gas counterpart (Ford’s F-150 Lightning is the electric version of the top-selling F-150), there are some entirely original EVs in the truck world like Rivian’s R1T introduced in 2021.
The three best electric trucks for towing based on tow capacity, cost, battery range, and efficiency are: Ford F-150 Lightning: 10,000 pounds max; Rivian R1T: 11,000 pounds max; Chevrolet Silverado EV: 12,500 pounds max.
