Inside the Genius That Makes the Silverado EV Trail Boss Off-Road Ready
The 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss's trim-exclusive terrain mode helps form its off-road prowess with its low-speed compatibility, dedicated control for maneuvering uneven terrain, and sharper 4-wheel steer for more precise torque and traction control during low-speed off-roading. Sidewinder mode complements terrain mode by allowing all wheels to turn in the same direction and move the truck diagonally at low speeds. Chevrolet integrates terrain and sidewinder modes into the Silverado EV Trail Boss's dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
Red-painted tow hooks, beadlock-like 18-inch wheels, and 35-inch all-terrain tires help form the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss's aggressive appearance while contributing to its capability. Chevrolet gives this pickup room for customization with auxiliary switches for features like off-road accessory lights, and the specially designed front bumper upgrades the model's obstacle-clearing ability with an impressive 31.6-degree approach angle.
The 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss's interior contains excellent dimensions for a full-size pickup. Its maximum front headroom of up to 43.9 inches is generous, and tall adults have plenty of legroom in both front and rear rows at 44.8 inches and 44.3 inches, respectively. Shoulder and hip rooms are also competitive for the segment, enhancing comfort during demanding off-roading. This trim's exclusive interior theme is Artemis black with red stitching, which is upscale and durable with its easy-to-clean material. One upside to spending more on a Trail Boss Silverado EV is receiving standard Super Cruise tech, which provides hands-free driving assistance on compatible highways and automatic lane switches. Super Cruise also features lane-centering capability, keeping you at a safe distance from the car you're following even while towing.
The 2026 Silverado EV was heading into its third year with little to no changes, but the Trail Boss's added presence reshapes the lineup with unique off-road capability. This Chevrolet pickup's three trims, from least to most expensive, include the Work Truck, LT, and Trail Boss.
Price-wise, a Silverado EV Work Truck starts at $54,895 (including delivery charge) with the standard 286-mile battery pack but goes up to $68,295 and $76,295 with the extended and max batteries offering 424 miles and 493 miles per charge, respectively. The LT starts at $62,995 for its 283-mile standard pack and increases to $71,195 and $91,295 with its 410-mile extended and 478-mile max packs. Chevy's Trail Boss features two battery packs, the 410-mile extended and 478-mile max, priced from $72,095 and $88,695, respectively.

William Byron wins NASCAR Cup race at Iowa with fuel running out
William Byron nursed his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to the finish line at Iowa Speedway as the whole team held its breath that there was enough fuel left in the car to take the checkered flag. After running out of gas while running third at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last week and while leading the race at Michigan International Speedway earlier this summer, Byron managed to save enough fuel to make it to the finish line and to hold off Chase Briscoe, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney to win the Iowa Corn 350 on Sunday, Aug. 3. "How about that for some fuel mileage," a relieved Byron said after climbing out of his car on the start/finish line. "We've had our share of things not going our way with fuel mileage. We've been through a lot this year. It's been a lot of growing pains. It's been tough on us, but it feels really good today to get a win. "Luckily, the fuel was enough at the end. I think I ran out there. That's why I stopped." Byron, who started second behind Briscoe, led a race-high 141 of 350 laps. He took his final lead after passing his teammate Chase Elliott on a restart on Lap 277, but multiple cautions shook up the fuel strategy for many teams. Byron had made the earliest pit stop among the drivers chasing him down in the closing laps, forcing both the driver and the No. 24 team to walk a tightrope between having enough speed to keep the lead and enough gas to make it to the end. Byron began the season with a victory in the season-opening Daytona 500 in February, but despite leading the points standings for most of the season, Daytona remained his lone win of 2025. "Our confidence in each other never wavered," Byron said. "Our speed's been better than it's ever been, and that's a big reason why we stayed confident. We needed just one to go our way, and today it did." Briscoe finished second, Keselowski third, Blaney fourth and Ryan Preece fifth. Last week's winner Bubba Wallace rebounded from damage earlier in the race to finish sixth.
