The new GMC Acadia arrived in 2023 as a larger vehicle with more length, height, and cargo capacity. For 2026, the only thing that will be getting bigger is the price, according to order guide data uncovered by CarsDirect. The publication reports that the luxury SUV will now start at $43,700 (excluding $1,495 for destination) in base Elevation form, an increase of $700 over the 2025 sticker. The other two trims in the range, however, get heftier raises of $900 on the mid-level model and $1,600 on the range-topper.
The mid-range AT4 model now starts at $52,300, while the epitome of luxury in the range, the Denali, costs $55,700, representing an increase of 2.96%. These adjustments are not unusual for an annual pricing update, and to soften the blow, they don’t arrive alone, with a new key card now being standard and a pair of new paint options – Glacier White Tricoat and Riverstone Metallic – joining the palette. The former costs $1,095 on the Sierra EV and the Terrain, while the latter is no more than $495, so we expect the same prices for the Acadia.

Standard equipment includes a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine delivering 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, a Bose Premium 12-speaker sound system, and a 15-inch infotainment display alongside an 11-inch driver cluster. Buyers not swayed by the appeal of the GMC badge may wish to consider the Chevrolet Traverse, which is very similar beneath the skin and starts at $40,995 for the 2025 model year. Of course, that may get a price bump for 2026, too, but it will still offer much of the same at a lower price point.
The Acadia has plenty of competitors in the midsize SUV segment, even if some of them don’t aspire to quite the same levels of luxury as the GMC brand. Across town is the Ford Explorer, which currently starts at $39,625 for 2025, while Japan’s Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot start at $43,630 and $40,200, respectively. There’s also the Kia Telluride to consider, which starts at $36,390. This will likely become more expensive for the 2026 model, which will bring with it numerous changes, but we still expect it to remain competitive.
The price range of the modern pickup truck is as wide as it has ever been. You can pick up a compact Ford Maverick for just over $28,000, but for the buyer in search of peak capability, performance, and luxury, there are now several pickups at or above the $100k mark. Below are the top 5 priciest new trucks, ranked from least to most expensive. We have chosen the most expensive configuration of each model, but no options have been added. Here’s what the most expensive pickup trucks offer at their lofty MSRPs.
5. GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range ($98,600)

As the more luxurious alternative to Chevrolet pickups, perhaps it’s no surprise that there are three different GMCs on this list, starting with the fully electric Sierra EV. In Denali Max Range guise, the 2026 version of this pickup kicks off our list at $98,600. Once you add the $2,095 destination charge, it becomes a six-figure vehicle.
With standard dual motors and four-wheel drive, this pickup produces 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque. Expect a 0-60 mph time of close to four seconds, a range of up to 478 miles on a full charge, and a towing capacity of up to 12,500 pounds.
Inside and out, this GMC commands attention with its ample size and high-end finishes. The feature count is extensive and includes:
16.8-inch touchscreen interface
Seven-speaker Bose sound system
Heated and ventilated front seats
Heated rear seats
Heated steering wheel
14-inch color head-up display
Super Cruise hands-free driving
It’s fast, capable, and refined, but you have to be prepared to live with its massive size.
One of the first ultra-powerful electric pickups, the Rivian R1T continues to impress with good looks, plentiful features, and potent performance. The tri-motor model makes up to 850 hp, and it’ll do the 0-60 sprint in only 2.9 seconds – that’s phenomenal pace for a heavy truck. With the max battery pack, expect a range of up to 371 miles on a full charge.
A towing capacity of up to 11,000 lbs is decent, but not as good as the Sierra EV. Then again, GMC’s pickup can’t match the Rivian’s on-road performance.
A pleasing max of wood and leather line the high-end cabin, which has tons of space and bright dual displays ahead of the driver. The following features are included:
Powered tonneau cover
Dynamic glass roof
16-speaker Rivian premium sound system
Rivian Autonomy Platform+ suite
15.6-inch touchscreen interface
Heated and ventilated front seats
If you prioritize on-road performance and refinement, the R1T is hard to beat.
For only $90 more than the top Rivian R1T, the Tesla Cyberbeast is another fully electric pickup with ferocious power and speed. It starts at $99,900, but we don’t expect many Cyberbeasts to be equipped without the Full Self-Driving suite, which adds another $8,000 to the bill.
With three electric motors producing 845 horsepower combined, this is the truck to beat in terms of sheer speed. It’ll hit 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds. AWD is standard, while the combination of steer-by-wire tech and rear-wheel steering make the Cyberbeast feel particularly maneuverable for a pickup.
With 20-inch wheels, the range works out to 320 miles on a full charge, with fast charging adding 135 miles of range in 15 minutes. It can tow up to 11,000 lbs, and impressive ground clearance of up to 16.5 inches allows you to tackle some challenging off-road trails.
Tesla includes the following features as standard:
18.5-inch touchscreen and 9.4-inch rear touchscreen
Motorized hardtop tonneau cover
Full-length bed lamps
Power-adjustable and heated seats
Glass roof
While the cabin has many features, the minimalist look and feel of it isn’t as plush as most of the other high-end pickups on this list.
Not every expensive pickup relies on electric power alone. This is the ultimate version of the Sierra HD pickup, featuring 4WD and dual rear wheels. It also comes with the brand’s mighty 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8, producing 470 hp and 975 lb-ft; that’s not enough to keep up with any of the electric pickups in terms of acceleration, but this 100k truck is a towing beast, capable of pulling as much as 31,200 lbs.
It’s not towing and torque alone that make this one of GMC’s priciest pickups. The Denali Ultimate specification includes everything, from full-grain leather upholstery to massaging front seats. Here’s a more complete list of standard features:
16-way powered, heated, and ventilated front seats
Heated rear outboard seats
Heated steering wheel
12.3-inch digital driver’s display and 13.4-inch touchscreen
12-speaker Bose sound system
Power sunroof
15-inch head-up display
Dual-zone climate control
Rear camera mirror
Surround-view and hitch view camera systems
There’s very little this mega pickup can’t do, but at 266 inches in length, good luck finding places to comfortably park it.
In 3X guise, this is the most expensive new pickup truck you can buy. It starts at $104,650 before the $2,495 destination charge, and you can go nuts with upgrades like the Extreme Off-Road Package ($9,995) and Illumination Package ($1,995).
The most powerful GMC Hummer EV Pickup has three electric motors – one in front and two at the back – developing 1,000 hp and allowing this pickup to hit 60 in around three seconds. With the 24-module battery pack, which adds $9,995 to the price, GM estimates a range of 367 miles. This truck pushes the limits of excess, though: it weighs over 9,600 lbs, so even though the range is decent, its efficiency of 52 MPGe combined is one of the poorest figures you’ll see for any EV.
The following features are standard in this behemoth of an EV:
13.4-inch touchscreen with Google built-in
14-speaker Bose sound system
Heated and ventilated front seats
Heated rear outboard seats
Heated steering wheel
Super Cruise hands-free driving
Tri-zone automatic climate control
Rear camera mirror
The off-road pack includes mud-terrain tires and electronically locking front and rear differentials, along with underbody cameras to spot any potentially damaging obstacles. This GMC also has cool features like the Infinity Roof with opaque sky panels.
Epic in its power and capabilities and with one of the few truck designs that can stand up to the futuristic Cybertruck, the Hummer makes a heck of a statement. Together with the Sierra EV and and Sierra 3500HD, GMC qualifies as the most expensive truck brand out there, with more models at around 100k than any other brand.
Note: Certain new trucks like the 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger are likely to qualify for a spot on this list, but have not been included until official pricing is released.

Looking Beyond The Top 5
Looking beyond the top 5, the top 10 most expensive trucks include several other HD models. For example, Ram’s 3500 HD costs $91,860 in Limited Longhorn guise with the Mega Cab and 4×4 system. Ford will hand over the keys to the Ford F-450 Platinum for $94,035, and it’s one of the most incredible pickups for towing. For $95,800, Chevy enters the chat with the Silverado EV RST. It shares a lot of components with its GMC Sierra EV sibling, but for less money.
It’s also possible to specify several non-HD trucks like the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 to the point where they reach or exceed $100,000, owing to the scope of customization available.
While we’d still choose a luxury SUV or sedan at around $100k, the spread of capabilities offered by these pickups is impossible to beat. Whether they’re pampering the family on a long road trip or functioning as a hardcore towing or camping vehicle, they can do it all.
