It rides on massive 35-inch all-terrain tires wrapped around unique 18-inch wheels and features a high-approach front fascia, red front tow hooks and trim-specific exterior badging. Underneath, a specially tuned coil suspension with hydraulic rebound control improves handling across rough terrain. At low speeds, the Trail Boss introduces a trim-exclusive Terrain Mode, which enhances the Silverado’s 4-Wheel Steer system for better control over torque and traction. There is also a Sidewinder Mode, allowing all four wheels to move in the same direction and even enable diagonal movement, this is similar to the CrabWalk feature found in the GMC Sierra EV. The Trail Boss packs comes available Max Range battery and delivers 725 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. The truck also has a towing capacity of 12,500 pounds and 2,100 pounds of payload. ![2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss 2]() This truck is designed to live on the dirt.

It will also have exterior Trail Boss specific badges, red front tow hooks and a raised front fascia. Inside, Chevrolet says it will have a “unique interior” and auxiliary switches for accessories for off-road lights. The updated Super Cruise system will get enhanced Google Maps integration for seamless lane changes on Super Cruise-enabled roads as well as a hands-on mode that keeps the vehicle centered on marked roads that aren’t hands-free enabled. Pricing for the 2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss will be announced later this year. ## Our take Much like Superman’s fantastic superpowers, this truck must have been tested in some special moonlike facility to achieve those range numbers. This is especially obvious when the gasoline truck, at best, gets a maximum 504 miles of range. And it shares the same battery pack with the LT, without the 35″ tires nor the 2″ lift, gets the same range. Let’s just say, I remain skeptical. ![2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss 3]() With unique badges inside and out, 35″ tires and a 2″ lift, this should stand out amongst other trucks on the road.
