Orel Hershiser Chevrolet – Why the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss feels right at home for weekend adventures around Glendora, CA
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss is the rare pickup that encourages a Friday clock-out followed by a dirt-road clock-in. Factory hardware matters when you leave pavement, and this trim arrives ready with a 2-inch lift, 18-inch wheels wrapped in 35-inch all-terrain tires, and Red tow hooks that look good and work harder. What sets it apart, though, is how electric architecture enhances control—standard Four-Wheel Steer tightens the turning circle, and Sidewinder lets all four wheels turn in the same direction at low speeds so the truck can move diagonally. In simple terms, you inch around obstacles with a calm precision that is tough to match in a conventional setup.
Inside, the Trail Boss keeps the tech polished and practical. A 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen partners with an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, and Google built-in helps streamline directions to the trailhead and voice commands on the go. Available Super Cruise® adds hands-free convenience on compatible roads, so the last stretch of interstate can be as relaxing as the overlook you are chasing. One-Pedal Driving and available Regen on Demand™ bring smooth, intuitive control on descents, saving brake wear and helping recapture energy when gravity is doing half the work.
If you are weighing the Trail Boss against other trims, use your weekend to guide the choice. The WT is an outstanding all-electric workhorse, and the LT hits a sweet spot for daily driving, but the Trail Boss builds the off-road essentials into the DNA. You can leave stock and be proud or customize further with bed racks, recovery gear, and the available PowerBase that brings up to 11 outlets and up to 10.2 kW of offboard power for campsite lighting, e-bikes, or tools. Add in the spacious second row and flat load floor, and you have room for friends and bulky gear, plus the 10.7 cu. ft. eTrunk for valuables up front.
Charging strategy is easier than most expect. With DC fast charging capability, you can add serious range on the way to the trail during a snack stop, and home charging fits naturally into the Monday to Friday routine. The myChevrolet Mobile App helps plan routes and locate public chargers, and Google built-in keeps it familiar once you are rolling. Combine that with available Four-Wheel Steer for better trailer manners and the available Multi-Flex Tailgate for easier loading, and the truck simply does more with fewer compromises.
Below is a quick take on what stands out when you choose this trim for off-pavement days and everyday drives.
- Trail stance and hardware: 2-inch lift, 35-inch all-terrain tires, and Red tow hooks give confident clearance and recovery readiness.
- Advanced maneuverability: Standard Four-Wheel Steer and Sidewinder enhance low-speed precision on tight trails and in tight parking.
- Cabin tech that works: 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen, 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, and Google built-in keep trips organized.
- Energy-smart control: One-Pedal Driving and available Regen on Demand™ make rocky descents and traffic feel smoother and more efficient.
- Power to the campsite: Available PowerBase with up to 11 outlets and up to 10.2 kW helps run tools, lights, and accessories.

Yes. Four-Wheel Steer is standard on the Trail Boss, and Sidewinder diagonal steering is included to help the truck move diagonally at low speeds for more precise control in tight spaces.
Can I use One-Pedal Driving off-road, or is it only for city driving?
One-Pedal Driving shines in stop-and-go traffic, but it is also helpful on the trail, especially on controlled descents where fine throttle modulation smooths progress and helps recapture energy.
Is Super Cruise® available on the Trail Boss?
Yes. Super Cruise® is available, adding hands-free convenience on compatible roads—great for the highway leg on the way to your weekend.
How does the Trail Boss handle cargo for longer items like boards or camping gear?
