2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss: Specs, Range, Price, and Off-Road Features

2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss

Introduction: A New Electric Off-Road Truck

The 2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss marks a critical expansion of Chevrolet's electric truck lineup. Built on the Ultium platform, this full-size EV pickup is engineered specifically for off-road performance while maintaining the high torque and long-range efficiency electric trucks promise. With improved ground clearance, specialized drive modes, and up to 478 miles of range, the Trail Boss offers a direct answer to off-roaders demanding electric capability without compromise.

Performance Overview: Trail-Ready with Serious Power

Chevy’s Trail Boss EV trim is designed to tackle rugged terrain. Here are the core specifications:

Key Off-Road Features

  • Ground Clearance: 10.04 inches (24% more than standard Silverado EV trims)
  • Approach Angle: 31.6 degrees
  • Wheels & Tires: 18-inch wheels with 35-inch all-terrain tires
  • Suspension: Coil suspension retuned with hydraulic rebound control for better articulation and ride quality
  • Skid Plates: Included for underbody protection on rocky trails

Electric Drive System

  • Extended Range Powertrain:
    • 625 horsepower
    • 765 lb-ft of torque
  • Max Range Powertrain:
    • 725 horsepower
    • 775 lb-ft of torque

Drive Modes Designed for Real Off-Road Use

  • Terrain Mode: Sharpens four-wheel steering at low speed, boosting crawl precision
  • Sidewinder Mode: Enables diagonal movement by synchronizing all four wheels for extreme maneuverability

Towing and Payload Capacity

Despite its EV platform, the Silverado Trail Boss doesn’t give up capability.

  • Towing: Up to 12,500 lbs
  • Payload: Up to 2,100 lbs

These numbers are competitive with traditional gas-powered trucks, giving owners the utility they expect from a full-size pickup.

Battery Options and Estimated Driving Range

Chevy offers two battery configurations for the Trail Boss. Both use the Ultium battery architecture.

Interior: Built for Utility and Tech

The interior emphasizes function but integrates the latest GM tech stack.

Cabin Highlights

  • Infotainment: 17.7-inch touchscreen (center-mounted)
  • Driver Display: 11-inch digital instrument cluster
  • Connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard
  • Accessory Integration: Factory-installed auxiliary switches for light bars, winches, and air compressors
  • Unique Styling: Red tow hooks and Trail Boss-specific interior accents

Trim Comparison: Where Trail Boss Stands

Here’s how the Trail Boss EV compares to other 2026 Silverado EV trims.

2026 Silverado EV Lineup Summary

TrimBattery PackRange (Miles)Starting Price (USD)
Work TruckStandard286$54,895
Work TruckExtended424$68,295
Work TruckMax493$76,295
LTStandard283$62,995
LTExtended410$71,195
LTMax478$91,295
Trail BossExtended410$72,095
Trail BossMax478$88,695

 

The Trail Boss offers nearly identical range and performance to the LT, but adds hardware tuned for serious off-road use.

Market Impact and Positioning

Chevrolet is targeting a growing segment: electric truck buyers who demand real-world utility. With strong towing, long range, and trail-ready features, the Trail Boss hits a competitive niche that’s underserved by lighter-duty electric pickups like the Ford F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T.

The Trail Boss also positions GM ahead of Tesla’s Cybertruck in one key area: proven off-road tuning. While Tesla’s claims are speculative, Chevy is delivering with engineering rooted in its long-running Trail Boss legacy.

Who Should Buy the Silverado EV Trail Boss?

This model fits buyers who:

  • Need a long-range electric truck for daily driving and trail access
  • Regularly tow equipment or trailers
  • Prefer factory-backed off-road tuning
  • Want electric power without sacrificing capability

It's not the lowest-cost trim in the Silverado EV lineup, but it's the most balanced option for capability, range, and price.

Final Thoughts: Built for Tough Terrain, Powered by Electricity

The 2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss offers a clear message: electric trucks are now fully capable of handling serious work and off-road play. With up to 478 miles of range, 12,500 pounds of towing, and engineered off-road systems, the Trail Boss is built for real-world tasks — not just marketing photos.
