"I dream of going hundreds of miles into the open desert, with my friends and bikes and gear in tow, and doing so in perfect silence. The 2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss was built for that dream. With up to 478 miles of range and chunky 35-inch all-terrain tires, it seemed like the perfect mix of endurance, capability and technology."
"This has never been Chevy's answer to a Ford F-150 Raptor or Ram 1500 TRX. Chevy's top-dog off-road truck wears a ZR2 badge, and its Z71 moniker denotes a more everyday-oriented off-road trim. Chevy is clear: The Trail Boss is something different. This is not a toy for fooling around on rock-crawling trails or desert jumps. This is the workhorse you use to haul your other toys out into the wilderness, even if that means negotiating water crossings and ruts."
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss pairs up to 478 miles of range with 35-inch all-terrain tires and off-road styling, but driving impressions reveal it as heavy and compromised off-road. The Trail Boss is positioned below Chevy's ZR2 off-road flagship and above the everyday Z71, intended as a workhorse to haul gear into the wilderness and handle water crossings and ruts. Equipment includes a two-inch lift, an aggressive off-road body kit, four-wheel steering and new driving modes such as Terrain Mode and Sidewinder. Confirming limits, the Trail Boss lacks skid plates, locking differentials and high-end spool-valve shocks. (Full Disclosure: Chevy provided a hotel room, meals and vehicles during a launch event.)
