Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss Leads EV Off-Road Charge

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss: Electrified Grit

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss debuts as the newest member of the Silverado EV family, merging off-road capability with electric performance.

Beneath its exterior, the Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss delivers trail-ready performance with a starting MSRP of $72,095. Featuring a factory 2-inch lift and riding on 35-inch all-terrain tires paired with unique 18-inch wheels, the Trail Boss stands tall with 24% more ground clearance than the base Silverado EV. At its core is a dual-motor e4WD setup with torque vectoring and an impressive 725 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque when optioned with the Max Range battery pack ($88,695).

This power translates to real-world performance: up to 12,500 lbs of towing capacity and 2,100 lbs of payload, making it one of the most capable electric trucks in its class. Paired with a unique coil suspension and hydraulic rebound control, it absorbs the hits while keeping the ride composed and predictable.

Where things get truly revolutionary is in the terrain management. The Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss introduces an exclusive low-speed Terrain Mode that sharpens 4-Wheel Steer for navigating technical sections with confidence. Drivers can also engage Sidewinder mode—previously only on RST trims—which allows diagonal movement by turning all four wheels in the same direction. Whether it’s a tight forest trail or a tricky parking lot, this system gives Trail Boss agility usually reserved for rock crawlers and supercars.

Design and Technology in the Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss

True to its name, the Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss looks like it’s ready to run the show. It leads with a high-approach front fascia for improved angles, flanked by signature red tow hooks and aggressive body cladding. Unique Trail Boss badging, matte color options like Magnus Gray, and a redesigned front lighting signature complete the menacing stance.

Inside, the Trail Boss is equally dialed in. The cabin blends utility and tech with auxiliary switches for accessories, plus a refined interior package exclusive to this trim. The dash is anchored by a massive 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch digital driver cluster, both standard even on base trims. A multi-flex midgate offers extended cargo versatility, while the Trail Boss adds integrated auxiliary power ports to keep your campsite or tailgate fully energized.

Chevy’s enhanced Super Cruise takes center stage on long hauls, now offering hands-free trailering, automated lane changes, and adaptive cruise that adjusts to posted speed limits. A robust 10.2kW off-board power system means your Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss can jumpstart another EV—or power your tools, lights, and grill with ease.

Charging is equally impressive. With DC fast charging up to 350 kW, you can add 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes. Trail Boss trims with the Max Range battery deliver up to 478 GM-estimated miles on a single charge, eliminating range anxiety even on backcountry adventures.
