Chevrolet’s legendary Trail Boss is going electric. For the first time ever, the Trail Boss trim will be part of the 2026 Silverado EV lineup, bringing bold off-road capability and cutting-edge EV technology together in one powerful package. Trail Boss has been a customer favorite since its 2019 debut, known for turning heads and tackling tough terrain. Now, it combines that rugged legacy with the Silverado EV’s impressive electric range and advanced features.
The 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss delivers everything you expect from a Trail Boss — and more:
- 2-inch factory lift and 35-inch all-terrain tires for 24% more ground clearance than the base Silverado EV
- Specially tuned coil suspension with hydraulic rebound control for smooth handling
- Exclusive Terrain mode for sharper low-speed 4-Wheel Steer and enhanced torque control on uneven ground
- Sidewinder mode for diagonal low-speed movement — perfect for navigating tough trails or tight spaces
When equipped with the Max Range battery pack, the Trail Boss offers up to 725 horsepower, 775 lb-ft of torque, 12,500 lbs max towing, and 2,100 lbs payload capacity. Serious strength for serious adventures.
The Silverado EV Trail Boss comes packed with next-generation technology, such as Super Cruise with Google Maps integration for effortless lane guidance and enhanced hands-free driving on compatible roads, upgraded adaptive cruise control that can automatically match posted speed limits, off-board power (up to 10.2kW) for tools, camping gear, and more, and Multi-Flex Midgate for versatile cargo solutions. And with auxiliary switches pre-installed, adding lights or other accessories is easy for those who want to personalize their truck.
The Trail Boss trim doesn’t just perform — it makes a statement. Key design highlights include:
- High-angle approach front fascia
- 18-inch wheels with 35-inch all-terrain tires
- Red front tow hooks
- Unique Trail Boss badging and interior touches
- Choose from nine exterior colors, including new options like White Sands, Polar White Tricoat, and Magnus Gray Matte Metallic.
The 2026 Silverado EV lineup includes Work Truck, LT, and the new Trail Boss trims, offering choices for every lifestyle and budget. Starting at $54,895 MSRP, every Silverado EV comes equipped with a 17.7-inch center infotainment screen and 11-inch driver display — now standard even on Work Truck models.
