Even as electric models gather pace, gasoline-powered pickups continue to hold their own with big power and stand-out acceleration. Here are the quickest petrol trucks on the market today—and why they matter.

1. Ford Ranger Raptor

Under the hood sits a twin-turbo V6 rated at a stout 405 hp. With that muscle, the Ford Ranger Raptor sprints from zero to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. Beyond the stopwatch, its reputation for durability and consistent performance in harsh conditions makes it feel engineered to take punishment without drama.

2. Ram 1500 Rebel

The Ram 1500 Rebel packs a twin-turbo inline‑six producing roughly 420 hp, translating to a 0–60 mph run of 4.9 seconds. Its appeal lies in the blend of serious off-road ability and a notably comfortable cabin—an equilibrium that makes daily driving as compelling as weekend trails.

3. Ram 1500 Tungsten

This premium variant uses a near-identical engine to the Rebel but turns up the output to 540 hp. The extra punch trims the 0–60 mph time to an assertive 4.7 seconds, and the added urgency is felt the moment you prod the throttle.

4. Ram 1500 RHO / Future TRX

The current Ram 1500 RHO reaches 60 mph in a rapid 4.4 seconds. An updated TRX is anticipated to deliver more than 702 hp, a figure that would put sub‑four‑second 0–60 runs within reach. If it arrives as expected, it’s poised to reset the benchmarks yet again.

5. Ford F-150 Raptor R

The fastest of the group is the Ford F-150 Raptor R. Its V8 is rated at an impressive 720 hp, launching the truck to 60 mph in just 3.6–3.7 seconds. That kind of pace crowns it the clear leader here and pushes a full-size pickup into bona fide sports-car territory.
