The Lightning rides on a modified frame but much the same body as the bestselling Ford F-150 pickup, which can also be had as a hybrid; both the gas and hybrid models are more affordable and more accessible but not as quick, clean, or quiet as the Lightning.
Positioned more as a lifestyle vehicle and sized more like a Ford Ranger, the Rivian R1T has go-anywhere capability, evolutionary packaging, and blistering performance.
The return of the Hummer as an electric truck and forthcoming SUV brings its own innovations for off-roading, crawling, and crabbing, as well as bed options.
Those innovations preview a more accessible option with the Silverado EV and a bed that opens into the cab, much better than the Avalanche before it.
