Happy Saturday from the USA TODAY Cars team!

I'm Charles Singh, and I report on automotive news, conduct vehicle reviews and write consumer advice for USA TODAY. If you have topic suggestions, consumer advice and maintenance questions or general queries, you can reach me at CSingh@Gannett.com.

The best electric trucks of 2026... so far

This week we released our list of the best electric pickup trucks of 2026 so far. The list featured multiple full-size electric pickup truck models that we've either personally tested or have done extensive research on.

I chose the electric trucks that made it on the list based on my own review experiences with models like the Rivian R1T. I also compared prices and considered specs like horsepower and driving range to determine which electric pickups made the cut.

We also published a video, photo gallery and review of the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 full-size truck this week. I took the Denali Ultimate trim on a road trip from New Jersey to Pennsylvania. The Sierra 1500 is refined and capable, but there are still plenty of full-size trucks to test in 2026 before I can give it a proper ranking.

Shoot me an email and let me know your thoughts on the most impactful new trucks of 2026.
