Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss Max Range

Overview

Get ready for a seismic shift in the pickup world! The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss Max Range is a full-size electric beast built to conquer both motorways and mountains. Riding on GM's revolutionary Ultium platform, this trim combines rugged off-road credentials with a colossal battery pack for epic range. It’s a direct challenger to the electric truck establishment, offering immense power and utility. While not officially confirmed for Europe, its estimated price would likely land north of €95,000, positioning it as a premium, do-it-all electric super-truck.

What's New for 2025?

The 2025 model year marks the exciting consumer debut for the Silverado EV’s more adventurous trims, including this Trail Boss. While fleet versions led the charge, 2025 is the first time individuals can get their hands on this specific configuration. It brings a factory-lifted suspension, aggressive all-terrain tyres, and the enormous Max Range battery to the retail market. This means the full suite of GM’s latest tech, including the massive cabin screens and the highly capable Ultium powertrain, is now packaged for the off-road enthusiast from the get-go.

Design & Exterior

This is not your grandad's pickup. The Silverado EV Trail Boss boasts a futuristic, aerodynamic design with a sleek, sealed-off front end and striking full-width LED lighting. As the Trail Boss, it gets a proper tough-guy makeover with a lifted stance, blacked-out bumpers, and chunky all-terrain tyres. It’s an absolute unit, measuring a massive 5920 mm in length, 2177 mm in width, and 2030 mm in height. The distinctive angled 'sail pillars' behind the cab give it a unique profile that looks like nothing else on the road.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside, and the futuristic theme continues with a spacious and minimalist cabin dominated by a huge digital display setup. An 11-inch driver’s screen and a stunning 17-inch central infotainment system, running a Google-based OS, handle all your needs. With five seats and a flat floor, there's limo-like space for passengers. Cargo is king here, with a cavernous 1634-litre cargo bed for heavy-duty hauling and a massive 303-litre 'eTrunk' frunk under the bonnet, perfect for secure storage or a big weekly shop.

Performance & Driving Experience

Don't let the size fool you; this truck is shockingly quick. Its dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system unleashes a staggering 541 kW and 1051 Nm of torque, catapulting this 4-tonne behemoth from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 4.9 seconds. That’s proper sports car territory! Adaptive air suspension and four-wheel steering are key, providing a surprisingly plush ride on the road and making this giant remarkably nimble in tight spots. The Trail Boss setup ensures it's more than ready to get its tyres dirty when the tarmac ends.

Range, Battery & Charging

This truck is built for the long haul. It packs a monumental 205 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of 731 km on a single charge, with an efficiency of 3.57 km/kWh. Thanks to its 800V architecture, it can DC fast-charge at a blistering 350 kW, adding hundreds of kilometres of range in minutes. European models would use a CCS Type 2 port. At home, its standard 19.2 kW AC charger is impressively fast. Plus, its PowerBase feature can output 10.2 kW, turning it into a mobile power station.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

The Silverado EV has not yet been rated by Euro NCAP, but it comes loaded with a comprehensive suite of safety tech. Standard features across the range include Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Alert. Higher trims like the Trail Boss are expected to feature GM’s fantastic Super Cruise system, which allows for hands-free driving on compatible motorways, including automatic lane changes, making long-distance journeys significantly more relaxing and secure.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

While official European warranty details are pending, expect coverage to be highly competitive. GM’s standard in North America points towards a comprehensive battery warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km, guaranteeing at least 70% of the original capacity. The basic vehicle and powertrain warranty would likely align with European standards, offering at least 3 years of coverage. One of the huge perks of going electric is the drastically reduced maintenance, with no oil changes to worry about and fewer moving parts, promising excellent long-term reliability.
