MSRP: $70,000[a]
Horsepower: 760
Towing: 12,500 lbs
Electric Range: 478 mi.
Performance
The Silverado EV Trail Boss scores major points in the performance and utility categories. While the full Silverado EV lineup has three powertrain options, starting with standard, and moving up to extended and max, this trim only offers the upper two powertrains.
Impressive Range Options
The extended-range battery will let you travel 410 miles before it’s time to pull over for a charge. Spring for the max range, and that number increases to an impressive 478 miles. Figures like those won’t have you missing gas engine vehicles, one bit—they just about rival them, and let you leave gas pumps behind.
A Two-Inch Lift
What really sets the Trail Boss apart, though, is something you can spot just by looking at it next to the other models: its two-inch lift. The Trail Boss is ready to roll over bumpy terrain, clearing branches, rocks, and other obstacles on the trails. The lift also provides a nice vantage point of the road or trails ahead.
Unique Capabilities
Managing challenging maneuvers is a breeze in the Trail Boss, thanks to standard four-wheel steer, along with sidewinder diagonal steering. Four-wheel steer allows you to steer all four wheels, thereby increasing maneuverability. At low speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction as the front ones for a better turning radius. At high speeds, all four wheels steer in the same direction for improved handling.
Meanwhile, sidewinder diagonal steering allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction at low speeds, for diagonal movement. Whether you’re navigating crowded job sites or taking tight turns on winding trails, these features will come in handy.
Utility
Chevy designed the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss with hardworking, ambitious, and adventurous drivers in mind. And you can see it across every inch of the model. Beginning at the front, you’ll find the eTrunk, an additional 10.7 cu.ft. of storage space located beneath the hood, where a traditional engine would typically be placed. So if your tailgate is full, you can stash extra items in the eTrunk.
Convenient Charging
If you get the max range battery, you’ll get a standard 19.2 kW capable onboard charging module. This can give your truck a full charge in roughly 12 hours, right at home. So you can plug in when you get home at night, and wake up to a full battery. This feature is available with the extended range battery, too.
The Multi-Flex Tailgate and Midgate
The Silverado EV Trail Boss maintains one of the more popular features from its gas-engine sibling, the Multi-Flex Tailgate. With six useful positions, including a second-tier load stop, a full-width step, and a work surface, this tailgate boosts productivity in so many ways, letting you make the most use of your tailgate—and use it in other ways no other truck allows you to.
The bed and tailgate perks don’t end with the Mult-Flex tailgate. There’s also the midgate, which lets you remove a panel at the rear of your cab, creating a pass-through for longer items. With the midgate open and the tailgate set to one of its load-stop positions, you can store extra-long materials in your bed.
When you are working in your bed, the cargo LED lighting can illuminate your bed. If you regularly get to work (or the campsite) before the sun rises or after it sets, you’ll appreciate this built-in lighting system.
Technology
Standard Super Cruise
The Silverado EV Trail Boss boasts advanced technology and safety features that provide a greater sense of command while driving and towing. First, SuperCruise comes standard on this trim with the max range battery, and is available on extended battery models. SuperCruise is a hands-free driving assist feature that automates braking, accelerating, and steering on compatible freeways.
The model offers many other useful driver-assist features, like traffic sign recognition, which can project posted signs onto your windshield or instrument cluster. A rear camera mirror converts your rearview mirror into an additional display screen for your backup camera.
Trailering Features
What we really like to highlight about this truck’s technology, however, are the features that aid in towing. The Trailer Integration Package is standard on max range models and available on extended range ones. It adds standout features like blind zone steering assist with trailering, which extends the monitored zone to cover your towed vessel.
You’ll get the in-vehicle trailering app with highly useful features like a pre-departure checklist and maintenance reminders that encourage you to properly prepare your trailer for long trips, and take it in for routine service. This app also provides trailer electrical diagnostics, as well as security alerts, specifically for your trailer.
Aligning your trailer with your truck is easy on this trim, too, because hitch guidance comes standard. When in reverse, this feature shows a guideline on your touchscreen, so you understand what direction your truck is headed, ensuring you hitch up your trailer perfectly. The truck also comes with many thoughtful camera angles that let you monitor your surroundings, truck bed, and trailer.
Comfort/Convenience
The Comfort and Convenience Package
The Trail Boss isn’t only designed to tackle the tough stuff; it’s also ready to offer a refined passenger experience. You’ll see this through the Comfort and Convenience package, which comes standard on max range models and is available on extended range ones. With the package, you’ll enjoy a 12-way adjuster for your driver’s seat, as well as memory settings. So once you’ve found that perfect position, your truck will remember it every time you turn it on.
You’ll also enjoy ventilated front seats for a refreshing breeze on hot days. And rear outboard seats get heating for cold days (as do front seats). Want to plug in devices on the go, but forgot your charger? The wireless charger is a nice touch, ensuring your smartphone is on and ready to receive calls/pull up apps on the go.
One of the best features of the Comfort and Convenience package, however, might be the Bose premium sound system. It features seven speakers and a subwoofer, allowing you to enjoy an immersive listening experience with all your music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Other Features
When you’re only transporting two rear-seat passengers, they can enjoy the fold-out armrest complete with cupholders. This feature is standard on the max range and available on the extended range model. On winter mornings, you’ll appreciate the heated outside mirrors that melt away ice and frost. These also have a memory function, standard on the max range models and available on the extended range ones.
