The **Trail Boss** package, available on both **Custom Trail Boss** and **LT Trail Boss** trims, adds factory off-road engineering: a 2-inch lift, Z71 Off-Road Package suspension, underbody skid plates, hill descent control, and 18-inch black wheels with all-terrain tires. Red recovery hooks and an aggressive front fascia complete the trail-ready look.

**Custom Trail Boss** starts with practical features and off-road capability-ideal if you want proven performance without premium extras. **LT Trail Boss** adds the LT's refined touches: leather-appointed seating, premium cloth, a 13.4-inch touchscreen, advanced driver-assist tech, and enhanced trailering features. Both handle challenging terrain straight from the factory.

For extreme off-roading, see the **ZR2** with electronic locking differentials and 33-inch tires. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 for test drives and current availability.
