The Silverado 1500 Trail Boss is engineered for off-road readiness with factory capability. It features the Z71 Off-Road Package, which includes off-road suspension, skid plates, and hill descent control. A factory 2-inch lift, 18-inch black wheels with all-terrain tires, and red recovery hooks give it an aggressive stance and commanding presence.

You can choose between two Trail Boss options. The **Custom Trail Boss** combines work-ready styling with off-road upgrades-perfect for builders and adventurers on a budget. The **LT Trail Boss** pairs the same off-road features with the LT's refined interior, leather seating, and advanced trailering technology-ideal for drivers who want wilderness capability with upscale comfort.

For extreme off-road dominance, the ZR2 pushes even further with electronic locking differentials and 33-inch tires. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to discuss which Trail Boss configuration fits your lifestyle.
