GMC Canyon 4x2 V6 Extended Cab – 11.14 hp per $1,000
General Motors hit a homerun last year when it resurrected the midsize pickups. The new 2.8L turbo-diesel for 2016 is a very interesting addition, but if you’re looking for maximum power for the money, the 3.6L V6 will give you 305 hp in exchange for as little as $27,390.
