Electric Silverado Outpaces Gas Rivals in Speed

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss is redefining electric truck capabilities, boasting an exceptional 497-mile range. This all-electric model accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds, propelled by a potent 725-horsepower dual-motor powertrain, outperforming many gasoline counterparts.

Developed from the ground up, the Silverado EV offers a solid on-road presence and refined handling, feeling stable on highways and agile in curves. Its four-wheel steering system, named Sidewinder, significantly aids maneuverability in confined areas, making it surprisingly adept for its large size.

Inside, the cabin offers spacious seating for passengers, particularly in the rear, though the rear seat itself is noted as feeling somewhat basic. The truck bed measures just under 6 feet, and towing capacity is rated up to 12,500 pounds. The infotainment system features a large 17.7-inch touchscreen with user-friendly controls.
