- the 2024 chevrolet silverado ev will have an off-road-oriented trail boss model like the gas-powered truck.
- expect all-terrain tires, locking differentials, and possibly the gmc hummer ev's crab walk feature.
- the silverado ev will arrive in 2023 and the trail boss should follow after the rst which arrives in the fall.
chevrolet's new silverado ev electric pickup was just revealed, and it has something the ford f-150 lightning does not yet offer: an off-road-oriented version. like the gas-powered silverado, the silverado ev will have a trail boss off-road model.
chevrolet won't spill any additional details on the silverado ev trail boss other than what's pictured above, which shows that it will have matte black body cladding and red tow hooks on the front end. the silverado ev is available with 24-inch wheels, but the trail boss will have smaller, unique black wheels on all-terrain tires. expect a lifted suspension, standard air springs, locking differentials (the gmc hummer ev has two electric motors on the rear axle that can mimic a locking diff and a locker on the front axle), and it could possibly get the hummer ev's crab walk feature, too.
the silverado ev doesn't share underpinnings with the gas model, rather it uses a narrower version of the gmc hummer ev's ultium platform. it has an available 200.0-kwh battery pack and two electric motors, one on each axle, providing up to 664 horsepower and 780 pound-feet of torque in a special launch-control mode. claimed range is up to 400 miles, but expect the trail boss model's range to be less than that because of its all-terrain rubber.
look for more information on the chevrolet silverado ev's upcoming trail boss model soon, as the base wt model and rst are slated to arrive in 2023. we expect the trail boss will follow those two along with an additional model that's promised to offer 20,000 pounds of towing capability.
