After months of teasing and spy shots, the 2026 Holland heavy-duty pickup truck is finally here! The American truck maker unveiled its newest beast yesterday in Texas, and people are already calling it a game-changer for workers and weekend warriors alike. With a bold new look, crazy power, and some really smart tech, the Holland wants to fight head-on with Ford, Ram, and Chevy.
Performance
Under the hood sits a brand-new 6.8-liter V8 turbo diesel that pumps out 500 horsepower and a massive 1,200 lb-ft of torque. Yes, you read that right – 1,200! There’s also a 7.3-liter gas V8 for people who don’t want diesel. Both engines pair with a 10-speed automatic that shifts smooth and quick. Towing? Up to 38,000 pounds when properly equipped. That’s enough to pull a house.
Mileage
Even with all that power, Holland says the diesel version can hit around 22-24 mpg on the highway when driving easy and not towing. In the city you’ll see 16-18 mpg. The gas engine is thirstier – expect 14-16 mpg combined. Not bad for a truck this big.
Features
The cabin feels like a luxury SUV now. Big 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, real leather seats (on higher trims), and even massaging front seats. Safety stuff includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, adaptive cruise, and 360-degree cameras. The coolest part? New “WorkSmart” mode that remembers your trailer settings and even helps back up with one pedal.
Price
Starts at $48,900 for the base XL work truck with the gas engine. The diesel adds about $9,000. Loaded Lariat or Platinum models with every option can cross $85,000 easy. First trucks hit dealers next month.
