Chevy is crushing it right now. After surpassing Ford, Chevy is now the fastest-growing domestic EV brand in the US.
Thanks to the new Silverado, Equinox, and Blazer EVs, it’s actually closing the gap with Tesla. With the new and improved 2026 models now available, Chevy could gain even more ground into the end of the year.
Last month, Chevrolet introduced a new Trail Boss trim for the 2026 Silverado EV, boasting 725 horsepower and several off-road upgrades.
The new Silverado EV Trail Boss “gives customers an option that builds on our strong truck pedigree, high electric range and off-road capability,” according to Scott Bell, Chevy’s vice president.
With a 2″ lift, the new trim offers 24% higher ground clearance than the base version. It also gains new features, like Terrain Mode and a fine-tuned suspension for added capability.
Adding to the Silverado EV’s already sleek look, the flagship model gains trim-exclusive design elements, including Trail Boss badging inside and out, 35″ all-terrain tires, a high-angle front end design, and red tow hooks.
Like the base Silverado EV LT, the Trail Boss edition is available with Chevy’s Multi-Flex Midgate (shown below). The flexible bed provides up to 10 feet and 10 inches of total space to fit kayaks, camping gear, and more.
With the extended-range battery, the 2026 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss edition can tow up to 12,500 lbs and has a maximum payload of 2,100 lbs. It also delivers an impressive up to 760 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque.
Using Wide Open Watts mode unlocks maximum horsepower and torque, enabling a 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 4.5 seconds.
The electric truck is just as impressive inside as it is on the outside. A 17.7″ touchscreen infotainment and an 11″ driver display come as standard with Google built-in.
You can also add a 14″ diagonal Head-Up Display (HUD) and GM’s Super Cruise driver assist tech. According to Chevy, Super Cruise is available when towing on the LT and Trail Boss trims.
Chevy slashed prices across the board with the 2026 Work Truck trim listed at a base price of just $54,895, $2,200 less than the outgoing model.
