2026 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EV TRAIL BOSS

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss is presented as a compelling alternative to the outgoing RST trim, offering a more conventional truck aesthetic with enhanced off-road capability. The reviewer highlights its increased ground clearance, tow hooks, and 2-inch lift as key advantages for off-road enthusiasts. While it lacks locking differentials and adaptive air suspension, the coil suspension and 35-inch tires provide a capable off-road experience, though the reviewer notes the LT trim with smaller tires might offer a more comfortable on-road ride. Performance is strong, with the Trail Boss achieving 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds, and the max power configuration (shared with the LT) reaching 760 horsepower. The interior is praised for its spaciousness, comfortable seating, and the large 17.7-inch infotainment screen with Google OS, though the absence of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is noted. Towing capability is excellent, with the truck handling a 5,000lb trailer with ease, and the near 500-mile max range is a significant plus, even when towing. The reviewer concludes that while not a dedicated off-roader like the Hummer EV, the Trail Boss strikes a good balance for those seeking a versatile, capable, and more conventionally styled electric truck, making it a strong contender in the EV pickup market.
