Chevrolet Charges Up Off-Road Capability with the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss
Chevrolet today announced a powerful addition to its all-electric truck lineup, confirming that the popular off-road-focused Trail Boss trim will join the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV family. Starting this summer, customers will be able to experience the rugged capability of a Trail Boss with all the benefits of an electric powertrain.
"Trail Boss has been one of the highest turning trims in our portfolio since we first launched it on the 2019 Silverado," said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. "Adding Trail Boss to Silverado EV gives customers an option that builds on our strong truck pedigree, high electric range and off-road capability."
More Power to Conquer the Trail
The 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss is built to impress, offering a significant boost in off-road performance. With a 2-inch lift, it boasts 24% higher ground clearance than the base Silverado EV, allowing it to easily navigate rough terrain. The specially tuned coil suspension with a hydraulic rebound control system further enhances its off-road prowess.
For drivers who demand maximum control, the Trail Boss features a trim-exclusive Terrain mode. At low speeds, this mode provides sharper 4-Wheel Steer, giving drivers better control over torque and traction on uneven ground. It also comes equipped with the innovative Sidewinder mode, a feature first introduced on the RST trim, which allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction, enabling the truck to move diagonally at low speeds—perfect for conquering tight trails or parking spaces.
The Trail Boss lives up to its name with impressive power and capability. When equipped with the Max Range battery pack, it can deliver up to 725 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque, with a max towing capacity of 12,500 lbs and 2,100 lbs of payload.
Looks and Features That Mean Business
The Silverado EV Trail Boss looks the part of a dedicated off-roader, with a series of design cues that set it apart from the rest of the lineup:
