Both **Custom Trail Boss** and **LT Trail Boss** include the Z71 Off-Road Package: off-road suspension, skid plates, and hill descent control. Both come with a factory 2-inch lift, 18-inch black all-terrain tires, and red recovery hooks for challenging terrain.

The main difference is interior refinement. **Custom Trail Boss** offers the Custom's practical cabin with larger infotainment and smartphone connectivity. **LT Trail Boss** upgrades to the LT's premium cloth seating, 13.4-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital driver display, and advanced trailering technology-plus leather-appointed seating that's not found on Custom Trail Boss.

Both are factory-ready for trails and outdoor adventures. Choose **Custom Trail Boss** for solid off-road capability with essential comforts. Choose **LT Trail Boss** if you want premium touches alongside rugged versatility. For extreme off-road performance, explore the **ZR2** with electronic locking differentials and specialized dampers. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to test drive either option.
