When I compare the best electric heavy-duty trucks in this lineup, I find three very different answers to the same hauling problem. The XSTO ET300P2 is my leading pick for heavier loads and faster indoor or yard movement, the Landworks Electric Utility Cart is the clearest fit for low-speed towing and adaptable cargo, and the YJTAN JM01 is the road-style option for buyers who want a large enclosed cargo box and a claimed longer range.

These are not full-size pickup trucks, and they are not direct substitutes for one another. They range from a six-wheel platform cart to a slow utility hauler and a three-wheel cargo tricycle. I rank them by how convincingly their stated capacities, controls, and form factors suit demanding hauling work—not by treating a single load figure as the whole story. The central tradeoff is payload versus terrain and task: the XSTO carries the most stated weight, Landworks can tow, and the YJTAN offers a road-style layout and cargo enclosure. Battery chemistry, speed, range claims, and storage needs also separate them.

Key Takeaways
XSTO ET300P2 carries the highest stated payload at 661 lb, but its platform-cart design is best suited to controlled work areas, not road travel.
Landworks is the towing specialist: it lists 1,000 lb towing capacity and a modular 6 cu ft bed, though its maximum forward speed is only 3.1 mph.
YJTAN JM01 has the most truck-like format here, with a metal cargo box and a stated 500 lb capacity, but its lead-acid battery and conflicting range/capacity details deserve scrutiny.
None is a full-size electric pickup. These are low-speed utility vehicles or powered carts, so match the choice to the actual jobsite, route, and load.
Capacity alone does not settle the choice: towing, bed shape, speed, turning space, charging time, terrain, and safe load distribution can matter just as much.

More Details on Our Top Picks
XSTO ET300P2 Electric Platform Truck, 661 lb Capacity, 1000W Motor
The XSTO ET300P2 earns my top spot because its stated 661 lb capacity is the highest in this group, paired with a 1000W motor and a top listed flat-ground speed of 12 km/h. That combination makes it the strongest candidate when the job is moving a heavy load across a warehouse, workshop, campus, or managed yard. It is not a pickup-style truck: the open platform favors bulky equipment and bins that can be secured, rather than loose material that needs the YJTAN’s metal cargo box.
Its six-wheel layout and swivel casters support tight turns, while the foldable handle and quick-disassembly frame make storage less awkward than the larger YJTAN tricycle. At 75 lb, the cart itself is also notably lighter than YJTAN’s listed 110 kg vehicle weight. That portability is useful between work areas, but it does not make the XSTO a road vehicle or a substitute for a powered towing cart.
The stated range of 15–29.8 miles varies by load, which is a meaningful qualification for a heavy-hauling machine. Landworks publishes a towing figure of 1,000 lb; XSTO does not, so I would not choose this platform when pulling trailers is central to the task. Its solid wheels and six-caster arrangement may also feel different from pneumatic tires on uneven ground. The unit ships in two packages, another practical detail for receiving and assembly planning.
Compared with the Landworks, the XSTO has more stated payload and more listed travel speed, but less emphasis on towing and a less conventional bed. Compared with YJTAN, it is easier to maneuver and store, while giving up the enclosed cargo box and the tricycle’s stated longer range. I would pick it for controlled-site hauling where load rating and compact handling lead the decision.
Pros:- Highest stated payload in this comparison at 661 lb.
- 1000W motor and listed speed up to 12 km/h on flat ground.
- Foldable handle, quick-disassembly frame, and swiveling wheels aid storage and close maneuvering.
- Modular frame can work with carts using standard mounting holes.
Cons:- Claimed range spans 15–29.8 miles and varies with load.
- No towing capacity is supplied, unlike the Landworks cart.
- Ships in two separate packages, and its open platform needs appropriate load securing.
Best for: Facilities, warehouses, workshops, and grounds teams that need to move heavy loads on a platform through controlled work areas.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a road-style cargo vehicle, a covered or enclosed bed, trailer towing, or dependable travel on rough ground without first confirming suitability.
- Motor:1000 W
- Stated load capacity:661 lb
- Claimed range:15–29.8 miles, depending on load
- Speed:0–12 km/h on flat ground; 0–5 km/h on 7° slopes
- Wheels:Six solid wheels, including 5-inch caster wheels
- Item weight:75 lb
- Dimensions:50.4 × 26.2 × 43.3 in
- Frame:Stainless steel; foldable handle and quick-disassembly modular frame
Our verdict“I rank the XSTO first for controlled-site heavy hauling because it combines the group’s largest stated payload with powered movement and compact maneuvering.”
Landworks Electric Utility Cart, 500 lb Capacity
The Landworks Electric Utility Cart takes my towing-focused spot because it lists two separate working figures: 500 lb of cargo capacity and up to 1,000 lb of towing. That distinction makes it more useful than a simple load rating suggests for farms, maintenance crews, and property work where equipment or supplies may need to be pulled rather than carried. Its 6 cu ft bed converts to a flatbed, so the same cart can accommodate a variety of loads without locking the buyer into one cargo shape.
In comparison with the XSTO, Landworks gives up the higher payload and the listed 12 km/h top speed, but it is the only product here with an explicit towing capacity. Against YJTAN, it is much slower and lacks a high-sided metal cargo box, yet its bed conversion gives it useful flexibility for awkward items. The pneumatic 13-inch wheels are intended for uneven terrain, although the supplied specifications do not establish that the cart is suitable for every rough surface or slope.
The key limitation is speed: forward travel tops out at 3.1 mph, with reverse at 2.2 mph. That pace can be appropriate for careful hauling but will frustrate anyone who needs to cover ground quickly. Its four sealed lead-acid batteries also mean buyers should plan around that battery type and ask about charging, replacement, and runtime details not provided here. The motor is a 500W brushless unit, below the 1000W motors listed for both the XSTO and YJTAN; that alone does not settle performance, but it reinforces that this is a slow utility hauler, not the faster platform option.
I would choose Landworks when towing and a configurable bed matter more than speed or maximum payload. It ranks behind XSTO because its payload is lower and its movement is deliberately slow, but it may be the better match for work that calls for pulling loads around a property. Buyers should verify hitch compatibility, intended terrain, and operating limits for their particular trailer and load.
Pros:- Lists 500 lb cargo capacity and up to 1,000 lb towing capacity.
- The 6 cu ft modular bed converts to a flatbed for different load shapes.
- Pneumatic wheels are intended for varied and uneven terrain.
- Variable forward and reverse speeds support controlled maneuvering.
Cons:- Forward speed is limited to 3.1 mph, with reverse up to 2.2 mph.
- Uses four sealed lead-acid batteries.
- Its 500 lb cargo rating is below the XSTO’s stated 661 lb capacity.
Best for: Property owners, farm operators, and maintenance teams who need a low-speed cart for carrying supplies and towing compatible loads.
Not ideal for: Anyone who needs faster transport, a stated payload above 500 lb, or a road-going cargo vehicle with a high-sided enclosed-style box.
- Motor:500W brushless
- Battery:Four 12V 7Ah sealed lead-acid batteries
- Cargo capacity:500 lb
- Towing capacity:Up to 1,000 lb
- Bed:6 cu ft, modular and convertible to a flatbed
- Forward speed:0–5 km/h (3.1 mph)
- Reverse speed:0–3.5 km/h (2.2 mph)
- Wheels:13-inch pneumatic; listed pressure 30/31 PSI
Our verdict“I recommend Landworks when towing and a changeable bed are more valuable than speed or the highest payload.”
YJTAN JM01 Electric Cargo Tricycle, 1000W Motor, 500 lb Capacity
The YJTAN JM01 is the most truck-like choice in this set, though it remains a three-wheel cargo tricycle rather than a heavy-duty pickup. Its metal box measures 39 × 24 × 9 inches, which gives deliveries, farm supplies, or household loads defined sides that the XSTO’s open platform does not provide. A 1000W differential motor, rearview mirrors, reverse warning, and a hand parking brake also make it a more complete vehicle-style package than the two cart formats.
YJTAN lists a 500 lb load capacity and a claimed 50–60 mile range, both attractive on paper for work routes with frequent stops. Those figures need careful verification: the supplied listing information has conflicting capacity and range details, so I would confirm the exact configuration and the manufacturer’s limits before relying on either number. The listed battery is lead-acid, charging takes 6–8 hours, and shipping is estimated at 45–60 days. Those are substantial planning constraints compared with the XSTO’s compact storage-oriented design and Landworks’ clearly specified towing role.
The tricycle’s 20 mph maximum speed is far above Landworks’ 3.1 mph forward limit, while its stated grade ability is 15%. That does not establish road legality, safe handling at a particular load, or suitability for every route. Three wheels and a high-sided box also create different cornering and load-distribution considerations from a six-wheel platform. The hydraulic shock absorption and compact maneuvering are listed benefits, but I would still match the route and cargo weight to the maker’s operating instructions.
Compared with the other two, YJTAN makes most sense when a cargo box and vehicle-style controls matter more than easy storage or a documented towing rating. It is heavier at a listed 110 kg, and its battery and specification uncertainty keep it below the clearer, more purpose-defined XSTO and Landworks picks. Buyers should also account for its long estimated shipping window before planning a work deployment.
Pros:- Metal cargo box provides defined sides for deliveries and loose supplies.
- Lists a 1000W differential motor and a maximum speed of 20 mph.
- Includes rearview mirrors, reverse warning, and a hand parking brake.
- Claims a 50–60 mile range and 15% grade ability, subject to confirmation.
Cons:- Uses a lead-acid battery with a stated 6–8 hour charging time.
- Capacity and range figures differ within the supplied listing information.
- Estimated shipping arrival is 45–60 days, and listed vehicle weight is 110 kg.
Best for: Delivery, agricultural, or household users who want a three-wheel utility vehicle with a metal cargo box and can verify the final specifications before relying on its range or capacity.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a fast delivery timeline, a lightweight cart for frequent storage, lithium battery technology, or fully consistent published capacity and range figures.
- Motor:60V, 1000W differential motor
- Battery:Lead-acid
- Listed load capacity:500 lb (250 kg); confirm because listing figures conflict
- Claimed range:50–60 miles; confirm because listing figures conflict
- Maximum speed:20 mph
- Charging time:6–8 hours
- Cargo box:39 × 24 × 9 in
- Brakes and wheels:Front and rear drum brakes with hand parking brake; three wheels
- Vehicle weight:110 kg
Our verdict“I would choose the YJTAN for boxed cargo and a tricycle-style layout only after confirming its exact capacity, range, and delivery details.”
How We Picked
I ranked these three products as electric heavy-duty work haulers, not as passenger vehicles or highway pickups. The supplied specifications point to very different categories: a powered platform truck, an electric utility cart, and a cargo tricycle. I therefore judged each option against the jobs its configuration can plausibly support, rather than pretending their capacities or speed figures make them interchangeable.
My main comparison points were stated payload and towing capacity, cargo-bed or platform usefulness, motor and speed information, stated range and battery type, maneuverability, and the practical limits disclosed in the product details. I gave the XSTO the lead for its 661 lb payload and powered movement, while recognizing that the open platform and load-dependent range narrow its use. Landworks earns a distinct role because it specifies towing capacity and a modular bed; the very low top speed is a real compromise. YJTAN stands out for its cargo box, tricycle layout, and stated range, but the listed capacity and range figures do not align consistently across the supplied information.
I did not treat a claimed figure as a guarantee of work performance. Range changes with load and conditions, and safe capacity depends on how weight is distributed, the terrain, and the vehicle’s operating instructions. I also did not infer road legality, weather protection, battery replacement cost, or service support where those details were not provided. Since all three options use lead-acid batteries or do not specify battery chemistry in the supplied details, buyers should confirm the exact configuration before purchase. My ranking favors the clearest fit for heavy, repeatable hauling, then task-specific utility, then a cargo-trike format with more uncertainty.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Electric Heavy-duty Trucks
I would start with the work, not the word “truck.” These products do not share a vehicle type, and their capacities describe different hauling arrangements. Before choosing, define the load, route, work pace, and storage setup you actually need.Match the vehicle format to the load
An open platform is useful for large equipment, bins, and loads that can be secured; that favors the XSTO ET300P2. A convertible bed gives the Landworks cart more flexibility for cargo shapes and flatbed use. The YJTAN JM01 offers high sides through its metal cargo box, which can help contain supplies, but buyers still need to check dimensions and tie-down options. Measure the largest item you expect to move, not only its weight. A load that fits the capacity figure but overhangs the platform, blocks controls, or shifts around may be unsuitable.
Read payload and towing as separate jobs
Payload is the weight carried on the vehicle; towing is the weight pulled behind it. Landworks is the only option here with a supplied towing figure, listing up to 1,000 lb towing separately from its 500 lb cargo capacity. XSTO has the highest stated carried load at 661 lb, but no towing figure is provided. YJTAN lists 500 lb capacity, though its supplied details conflict. I would not treat a towing rating as extra cargo allowance or assume a cart can tow a trailer simply because it can carry a heavy bed load. Confirm hitch fit, operating limits, and trailer suitability before buying.
Consider speed against control
The speed gap is large: Landworks lists a maximum forward speed of 3.1 mph, XSTO lists up to 12 km/h on flat ground, and YJTAN lists up to 20 mph. A slower cart can suit close-range property work where deliberate movement matters; faster travel may help cover a larger route, but it also makes safe load distribution, braking, turning room, and operating rules more important. The supplied figures do not establish that any model is approved for public roads. I would confirm where the vehicle may legally operate before treating a speed claim as useful travel speed.
Treat range claims as planning estimates
Only YJTAN and XSTO provide stated range figures in the supplied details, and each needs context. YJTAN claims 50–60 miles, but the listing information contains discrepancies and uses a lead-acid battery with a stated 6–8 hour charge. XSTO claims 15–29.8 miles and explicitly varies that range by load. Landworks lists its sealed lead-acid battery configuration but provides no range figure here. I would ask about runtime under a representative load, charging requirements, battery replacement, and the effect of slopes or frequent stops. Plan a working margin rather than assuming the maximum claim will apply on a full workday.
Check the route, wheels, and turning space
Landworks has 13-inch pneumatic wheels described for varied and uneven terrain, while XSTO uses solid wheels and six wheels overall, including swivel casters. YJTAN has three wheels and lists hydraulic shock absorption. Those details describe different handling setups, not a universal ranking for rough ground. Inspect the actual route for thresholds, gravel, slopes, narrow aisles, and wet or loose surfaces; confirm each maker’s approved operating conditions. Also compare the full vehicle dimensions with doorways, storage spaces, and turning areas. A cart that fits the load but cannot turn at the worksite will not solve the hauling problem.
Factor in batteries, delivery, and storage
Both Landworks and YJTAN specify lead-acid batteries; the supplied XSTO details do not identify its battery chemistry. Battery type affects charging and upkeep, so I would verify charge time, replacement availability, and expected service requirements before committing. YJTAN’s estimated 45–60 day arrival window is especially relevant if the vehicle is needed for a scheduled job. XSTO’s foldable handle and quick-disassembly frame can help when storage is limited, though it ships in two packages. Landworks’ modular bed changes how cargo can be arranged. Consider the complete setup and delivery plan, not only motor wattage.
Confirm the specification sheet before relying on it
Product details can leave important questions unanswered. For YJTAN, the stated capacity and range conflict across the supplied listing information, so I would obtain written confirmation of the exact model and configuration. For Landworks, clarify charging time, working range, hitch requirements, and the conditions attached to its towing limit. For XSTO, ask about battery specifications, load distribution, and suitable surfaces. Across all three, verify warranty, parts support, braking instructions, and any restrictions on slopes or outdoor use. These checks matter more for a heavy load than an attractive maximum figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these products full-size electric pickup trucks?
No. The products in this comparison are a powered platform truck, a slow utility cart, and a cargo tricycle. They are designed around worksite, property, delivery, or hauling tasks and should not be treated as full-size pickups. I would check local rules and each manufacturer’s intended-use guidance before operating any of them on public roads.
Which option carries the most stated weight?
The XSTO ET300P2 has the highest supplied payload figure at 661 lb. Landworks lists 500 lb of cargo capacity, plus a separate towing capacity of up to 1,000 lb. YJTAN also lists 500 lb, but its supplied product information has conflicting capacity details, so I would confirm the exact rating before loading it. A capacity figure does not replace instructions on load placement, terrain, and safe operation.
Which electric hauler is best for towing?
Landworks is the clearest choice for towing because it explicitly lists up to 1,000 lb of towing capacity. The XSTO and YJTAN details supplied here do not provide towing ratings, so I would not assume either can pull a trailer safely. Before using Landworks with a particular trailer, confirm hitch compatibility and the conditions attached to its stated towing limit.
Which model has the longest stated range?
YJTAN claims 50–60 miles, the longest range stated in this comparison, but its listing details contain conflicting range information. XSTO lists 15–29.8 miles and says range varies by load, while no range figure is supplied for Landworks. I would ask each seller or manufacturer for expected runtime under the actual load and route rather than planning work around a maximum claim.
What should I verify before purchasing one for work?
I would confirm the exact payload and towing ratings, battery chemistry and charging needs, range under a representative load, suitable surfaces and slopes, dimensions, braking instructions, warranty, parts availability, and delivery timing. For YJTAN, resolve the listing’s capacity and range discrepancies; for Landworks, confirm trailer compatibility and runtime; for XSTO, verify its battery details and intended terrain. Those answers help determine whether the machine fits the task instead of merely matching a headline specification.
Conclusion
For heavy loads on a controlled site, I recommend the XSTO ET300P2: its 661 lb stated capacity leads this group, and its folding, modular design supports close-quarters work. Choose Landworks if your priority is pulling compatible loads or switching between a cargo bed and flatbed, provided its 3.1 mph speed suits the job. The YJTAN JM01 makes sense for buyers who specifically want a three-wheel vehicle with a metal cargo box, but I would confirm its conflicting capacity and range details and account for the long estimated delivery. If you need a highway-capable electric pickup, none of these three is the right category.
