The terms fuel economy and pickup truck were never mentioned together in the same sentence a few years ago, even with diesel-powered options like the Chevrolet Silverado or Ram 1500. Nowadays, people are looking for better mileage from their conventional gas guzzlers while retaining the same practicality. Companies have started using clever methods like hybrid power trains and unibody chassis to provide customers with the best truck mpg, while maintaining usability.In 2026, buying an all-electric truck could be a daunting task and a potential risk. Although they provide great MPGe in the city and on the highway, the initial cost is also usually higher. They are also much heavier than their gasoline and diesel counterparts due to the batteries. If you are on the lookout for the trucks with the best gas mileage and do not want to dabble in the all-electric future of trucks, we have ranked the top 10 most fuel-efficient non-EV trucks currently on sale.All mpg ratings are sourced directly from the EPA and the cars have been ranked in terms of their combined mpg, using city and highway mpg as a tiebreaker where necessary. All data is correct at the time of writing. 2026 Honda Ridgeline Combined Rating: 21 mpg 12 2026 Honda Ridgeline RTL-1The Honda Ridgeline has been on sale since 2005. As a smaller truck than some of the other models mentioned in this list due to its unibody construction, the Ridgeline is one of the best trucks for on-road refinement on this list. Although it may not be extremely competent off-road, the cabin is well-built and the engine is smooth and refined, a welcome change for a truck. It is also perfectly capable as a workhorse though, with a payload capacity of 1,583 pounds. As it is a small truck, the Ridgeline does well on the highway in terms of fuel efficiency, at 24 mpg. It is also lighter than some of the trucks on this list, with a curb weight of 4,420 lbs, which definitely helps with saving fuel. 2026 Nissan Frontier Combined Rating: 21 mpg 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro-4XThe 2026 Nissan Frontier is the company's last truck on sale in the USA. However, that does not take away from the fact that it is still a competent midsize pickup truck. The Frontier beats the Ridgeline in almost all respects. It is more powerful, and is slightly more efficient overall in its base trim. The truck also has a towing capacity of 7,160 pounds, swaying a lot of potential buyers in its favor by breaking past that 7,000 pound mark. While the most fuel-efficient version of the Frontier is the two-wheel-drive model, the truck is also available with an all-wheel drivetrain. With a boxed ladder frame chassis, it is also capable on the road, while being aptly stiff and durable. Lastly, it is significantly cheaper than the Ridgeline, making this a better option for you if you plan on driving dirt roads and unpaved paths regularly. 2026 Toyota Tundra Hybrid Combined Rating: 22 mpg 2026 Toyota Tundra TRDPro Tundra WaveMaker The 2026 Toyota Tundra Hybrid follows the brand's recipe of hybridization and bulletproof reliability. The Tundra is the biggest truck Toyota sells in the US, yet due to its hybrid internals, it is more fuel efficient than the lighter, smaller cars mentioned above on the list. With an EPA estimated range of 708 miles, it is very capable of being a relatively efficient truck on and off the road. The Tundra is also the most powerful truck on this list, just inching ahead of the F-150 hybrid. The main strengths of this truck are its towing capabilities, at over 11,000 lbs and a payload weight of over 1,500 lbs. If you want a supremely capable truck with above-average fuel efficiency for its size, you have a winner here. 2026 RAM 1500 Combined Rating: 22 mpg 2026-ram-1500-rev-tungsten-1The 2026 RAM 1500 is a bit of a wildcard on this list. Especially because, in 2026, one of the main changes for this truck was the return of the HEMI V8 as an option. Unsurprisingly, that version of the truck is not the most fuel efficient. However, the 3.6-liter V6 has respectable efficiency. The RAM 1500 also has a formidable interior, with all the creature comforts you expect if you decide to go for a higher trim level. With efficiency of 35 mpg on the highway, it just beats the Toyota Tundra, while having similar towing capabilities, at 11,610 pounds. 2026 Ford Ranger Combined Rating: 23 mpg 2026-ford-ranger-exterior-1The 2026 Ford Ranger has remained relatively unchanged over the last few years, but it still features quite high on our list. As a relatively midsize truck, it benefits from having better fuel efficiency than the aforementioned trucks, although you do sacrifice some performance to achieve said efficiency. The Ranger is the second least powerful truck on this list with just 270 hp. However, it still has a respectable towing capacity, at 7,500lbs. As a smaller brother to the F-150, the Ranger is a good pick if you want a smaller truck with decent fuel efficiency and do not crave extra horsepower daily. 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Combined Rating: 23 mpg 2026 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew PowerBoost Hybrid Front 3/4 ViewThe 2026 Ford F-150 benefits from being hybrid in terms of both power and efficiency. With 430 hp, it is the second most powerful truck on this list, second to the Toyota Tundra. The F-150 is more efficient, though, with a combined EPA rating of 23 mpg. The Ford F-150 continues to be one of the best-selling trucks in the USA due to its extensive configurability. The most fuel-efficient model, however, is the V6 Hybrid 4WD version that provides similar performance to the Toyota Tundra, while being almost $11,000 cheaper. If you are looking for a powerhouse of performance while providing good efficiency in cities and highways, and do not mind the size of a full-size truck, look no further. 2026 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Combined Rating: 23 mpg 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD PreRunnerIt is time for the podium places of the most fuel-efficient non-electric trucks currently for sale. The fourth generation of the Toyota Tacoma ditches the previous fuel-thirsty older engines in exchange for efficient hybrid power trains. The Tacoma has been the best-selling midsize pickup truck, and now is one of the most efficient as well. The hybrid battery integrates with the engine well and helps the truck during stop-and-go traffic, places where trucks usually struggle. This engine option for the Tacoma also makes it the most powerful version of the truck ever built, and makes this Toyota the best truck fuel economy we have seen from the company. This version of the truck also features all-wheel drive as standard, another boon for potential truck buyers. 2026 GMC Sierra Combined Rating: 25 mpg 2022 - 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 5th Gen (GMTT1XX) Facelift Tied for second place, is the 2026 GMC Sierra. While the Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado share most parts, they enter their fourth generation with a complete redesign. A recurring trend on this list is that the most efficient trucks that are non-hybrids are also two-wheel drive, to achieve the best gas mileage for trucks. The Sierra also has an EPA estimated range of 600 miles on a full tank. While the straight six-cylinder engine is not the most exciting alongside V6 and V8 options, certain sacrifices have to be made for the trucks with the best mpg that General Motors currently offers. 2026 Chevrolet Silverado Combined Rating: 25 mpg 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 front, three-quarterThe Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra share the same EPA rating. The Chevrolet features in second place on this list because it is usually cheaper than the GMC for the same trim that gives you the best range. With an MSRP around $1,400 lower than the GMC at the base trim, you get the same 600 mile EPA-estimated range on a full tank. Obviously, pricing varies depending on deals and offers. However, at that MSRP, the Silverado is a better deal for the same mileage. This also makes the Chevrolet Silverado the most fuel-efficient full-size truck on this list. If you are looking for a full-sized truck with the best mpg pickups can offer at the moment, the Silverado is a solid option. 2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid Combined Rating: 39 mpg 2025-ford-maverick-exterior-1-1And the winner by some margin is..... the 2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid! With a staggering EPA rating of 39 mpg, this is the most efficient non-electric truck currently on sale in America. With great range, come some minor sacrifices. The Maverick is the smallest truck here, and it is also the least powerful, with a 163 hp hybrid engine. However, as the Maverick is a small truck with the best mpg, that also makes it the cheapest hybrid truck you can currently buy. Amusingly, it is also the most powerful front-wheel drive car under $30,000 you can buy! The Maverick is perfect for urban situations and its hybrid system helps it achieve 42 mpg in the city, making it the best miles per gallon truck that is not fully electric.
