THIS IS THE CHEVY SILVERADO EV TO BUY! TRAIL BOSS IS THE JAM

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss emerges as the recommended trim, particularly with the discontinuation of the RST model. Reviewers highlight its robust off-road capability, enhanced by a 2-inch lift and 35-inch all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, which contribute to a surprisingly comfortable and compliant ride, superior to the previous air suspension setup. The dual-motor AWD system delivers ample power (over 700 hp) with manageable torque steer. While the interior plastics are criticized for not matching the near-$100,000 price point, the spaciousness, functional midgate, and impressive battery technology (up to 205 kWh offering an EPA-estimated 478 miles of range) are significant positives. The infotainment system, though lacking Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, offers functional navigation and route planning. The Trail Boss's combination of rugged aesthetics, improved ride quality over the RST, and strong EV performance makes it the compelling choice for the Silverado EV lineup.
