The Silverado ZR2 features a unique suspension system that makes it the most extreme version of the full-size pickup and is equipped with Chevy’s tried and true 6.2-liter V8, which has 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.

The Toyota Tundra is all-new for 2022 and the TRD Pro is king of the model’s hill. It trades the V8 of the previous generation Tundra for a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 hybrid powertrain that combines the internal combustion engine and an electric motor to put out 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque.

The F-150 Raptor was the original high-speed off-road factory pickup and the latest third-generation model is the fastest yet. It’s 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 is the most powerful in the F-150 lineup with 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. It’ll soon be getting some competition from the F-150 Lightning electric pickup, however, which will be available soon with a 563 hp/775 lb-ft powertrain, if not the Raptor’s hardcore equipment.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392

It took nearly four decades for Jeep to put a V8 engine in the Wrangler and didn’t mess around when if finally did. The Wrangler Rubicon 392 is powered by a 392 cubic-inch (6.4-liter) Hemi V8 rated at a big, round 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.
Ram 1500 TRX

The F-150 Raptor was in a class by itself for a decade until the Ram 1500 TRX showed up with a supercharged Hellcat V8 borrowed from the Dodge Challenger muscle car rated at 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.
Rivian R1T

Pedantic truck fans may argue that electric trucks have all-wheel-drive and not 4×4 drivetrains, but the Rivian R1T’s four-motor design makes a strong argument for the latter and puts an exclamation point on it with 835 hp and 908 lb-ft of torque.
