The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss Diesel redefines what a full-size pickup can be, combining aggressive capability, refined technology, and head-turning design. This truck has been purpose-built to handle tough terrain, demanding workloads, and long highway hauls—all while offering the comfort and features today’s drivers expect here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis.
10 Speeds of Confidence: Trail Boss Gets a Transmission Upgrade for 2025
For the 2025 model year, Chevrolet introduces key updates that elevate the Trail Boss even further. A 10-speed automatic transmission—now exclusive to four-wheel-drive models—ensures smoother shifts and confident performance both on and off the road. Standard all-terrain tires enhance grip and durability for serious trail duty, reinforcing the Silverado’s off-road cred.
Two fresh exterior color options—Cypress Gray and Riptide Blue—add a modern touch to its already bold presence. Available 20-inch High Gloss Black wheels boost visual appeal, while new standard features across the lineup increase everyday convenience. These include cruise control on the Work Truck (WT), a trailer brake controller on LT and above, upgraded audio on the ZR2, and front and rear park assist also standard on the ZR2 trim.
Pick Your Power: Four Engines, One Bold Silverado
At the heart of the Trail Boss Diesel is a powerful 3.0-liter inline-six turbo-diesel engine, delivering 305 horsepower and an impressive 495 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for an efficient 25 MPG combined. It’s not just fuel-efficient—it’s built for heavy lifting, with towing capacities ranging from 9,300 to 12,900 pounds depending on drivetrain and bed configuration.
Other available engines include:
- A 2.7L Turbo (310 hp / 430 lb-ft, 8-speed automatic, 19 MPG combined)
- A 5.3L V8 (355 hp / 383 lb-ft, 10-speed automatic, ~15 MPG combined)
- A 6.2L V8 (420 hp / 460 lb-ft, 10-speed automatic, 16 MPG combined)
Underneath, the Silverado features an independent front suspension with coil-over shocks and a solid rear axle with multi-leaf springs. Rancho shocks are included with the Z71 package, while higher trims benefit from Multimatic DSSV dampers or Adaptive Ride Control, depending on the model. A two-speed transfer case or Autotrac system further enhances 4WD functionality.
Built to Pull, Backed by Tech: Silverado Trail Boss Makes Towing Safer
Advanced trailering technologies—such as trailer tire pressure monitoring and a rear-facing trailer camera—make towing safer and easier. Inside, the Trail Boss seats five passengers with comfort to spare, featuring heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. Rear-seat legroom is generous, making long trips more comfortable for passengers.
Technology takes center stage with an available 13.4-inch touchscreen display that’s responsive and intuitive. LT and higher trims integrate Google-based voice control, along with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the ultimate in highway cruising, Super Cruise—Chevy’s hands-free driving system—is also available.
Diesel Meets Attitude: Trail Boss Builds Bold on a Proven Platform
The Silverado lineup spans nine trim levels: WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ, and High Country. The Trail Boss builds on the Custom Trail Boss with standout styling, 20-inch black wheels, LED lighting, and all-terrain enhancements. The diesel engine is offered exclusively in crew and double cab variants, and customers can choose from three-bed lengths: 5-foot-8-inch, 6.5-foot, or 8-foot, each with smart tie-down points and serious cargo space.
Facing tough rivals like the Ford F-150, GMC Sierra, Toyota Tundra, Ram 1500, and Nissan Titan, the 2025 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss Diesel sets itself apart with unmatched diesel torque, a trail-ready stance, and a feature-packed interior. Whether navigating rocky paths, hauling job-site equipment, or gliding down the interstate with hands-free Super Cruise, this truck gets the job done—without compromise.
