2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss: The electric off-roader at GM Sept-Îles

September 19 2025,

The all-new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss arrives at GM Sept-Îles this summer. It combines toughness, impressive range, and advanced tech. This model is designed for Quebec roads and off-road trails alike.

To start, this truck offers a raised suspension with 2 inches of lift—ideal for tackling rugged Côte-Nord roads. Its coil spring suspension with hydraulic rebound control delivers a stable ride across all terrain types.

Moreover, the exclusive Terrain Mode allows for improved handling at low speeds. The Four-Wheel Steer system responds quickly, helping drivers tackle tricky terrain. It also includes Off-Road and Sidewinder modes, which let the truck move diagonally in tight spots.

Performance-wise, the Extended Range version can tow up to 12,500 lb (approx. 5,670 kg). Payload goes up to 2,100 lb. The Trail Boss with Max Range battery delivers up to 725 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque—ideal for heavy-duty work or backcountry adventures.

Design-wise, the Trail Boss looks bold and tough. It features an aggressive front fascia, 35-inch all-terrain tires, 18-inch wheels, red front tow hooks, and a custom interior. Auxiliary switches make it easy to add off-road accessories like lighting.

Lastly, it comes in nine exterior colours, including White Sands, Polar White Tricoat, and Magnus Gray Matte Metallic.

Advanced driver assistance technologies

When it comes to driver aids, semi-autonomous Super Cruise is available with a three-year subscription. It works on compatible roads in Canada and integrates Google Maps for seamless navigation.

Also included is hands-on lane centring, which keeps the vehicle aligned and adjusts speed based on traffic. When on a compatible road, the steering wheel lights up green and hands-free mode activates.

Adaptive cruise control now tracks posted speed limits. Super Cruise with towing comes standard on Trail Boss Max Range and LT Max Range.

2026 Silverado EV lineup

The lineup includes three main trims: Work Truck, LT, and Trail Boss. The RST launch model is no longer available. All trims, including the Work Truck, come standard with a 17.7-inch infotainment screen and 11-inch driver display.

Depending on the configuration, Trail Boss offers up to 769 km of range. The Extended Range battery delivers up to 660 km. The WOW Mode (Wide Open Watts) unleashes full power.

Interior comfort for canadian conditions

Designed with Canadian weather in mind, the Silverado EV Trail Boss includes heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control.

The interior uses durable materials, suitable for daily use or job sites. There's generous cabin space, smart storage solutions, and a folding rear bench.

Sound insulation is also excellent—great for long drives on northern roads.

Electric driving benefits in Quebec

In Quebec, charging an EV is particularly affordable thanks to hydroelectricity. Operating costs are significantly lower than gas-powered vehicles.

Plus, public charging stations are growing in number, including in Sept-Îles.

The Silverado EV may qualify for provincial government incentives, depending on current programs.

Easier maintenance for busy drivers

With the Silverado EV Trail Boss, oil changes and regular engine service are a thing of the past. Regenerative braking extends brake life. Mechanical components experience less wear.

Additionally, an 8-year warranty on electric components gives you peace of mind.
