I’m kind of shocked that Chevy is already offering rebates on the Trail Boss. Yes, you heard that right—there are already rebates available for this truck. I was talking to one of the salespeople here, Leo, and he’s the one who told me about this. Now, there are rebates and special financing options, so at the end of this video, I’m going to show you the pricing with the rebate or just taking the special financing compared to what you can get out on the streets.
Let’s go and check out the window sticker. At the very top is the description; you can see the colors. Then, here’s a short listing of the standard equipment. The base price is $56,900, and here are all the options. You have the Duramax Trail Boss package, and with that, you have to get other packages—it’s not just one price. The safety package is right there, along with the gooseneck and fifth-wheel setup, leather, and then it continues with the convenience package and other features listed below. On the other side, it shows the destination charge, and the total price is $79,500.
One good thing about this truck is that if you don’t like the black bumpers on the other colors, just get black, and it all matches. It actually looks quite menacing. In the front, there is premium lighting on an LT, red recovery hooks, active grille shutters, cameras for the HD surround view, parking sensors (new for LT this model year), and blacked-out trimming all around. Even the badge is new for 2025; now, it’s blacked out. You couldn’t do this on previous models.
They also have a new style wheel for the Chevy trucks here. BF Goodrich Tires come as part of the Trail Boss package, though they are available separately. These are the K3s, and they’re the same size as the Goodyear Wrangler Trail Runner. You can see here that the capacity is 3,750 lbs at 80 psi with a load range of E. In case you didn’t know, the tire size is 275/65/20, which is around 34.1 inches tall. They provide fabric material for the liner, and there is an engine block heater, Rancho shocks, and a few other features. Stepping back, you’ll notice this LT model pretty much blacks out all the chrome trim and has a smart key system.
Here’s a better look at those running boards and the steps. Being a 3500, it comes with five leaves and two overloads in the rear suspension, but no liners for the LT. If you opt for an LTZ, however, it should come with a liner, although I haven’t seen one yet. This model also has the Trail Boss badge, premium LED tail lights, and the Multi-Flex tailgate.
Inside the bed, you have 400 watts of power, lighting, and fifth-wheel prep, along with a Chevy badge stamp and a bed-view camera. There are plugs for the fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailer. Of course, you have parking sensors, camera inputs, and a standard spare tire with a 3.42 rear-end diesel and an automatic locker. The tires have great tread patterns.
This engine is the optional L5P Gen 2 6.6L Duramax V8, putting out 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque. It might have less horsepower and torque compared to Ford and less torque than Ram, but GM’s tuning makes it competitive. It’s slightly behind Ford in speed but faster than Ram. GM uses a 10-speed transmission with deep first, second, and third gears. The first gear ratio is 4.54, allowing for a 3.42 rear-end without needing to adjust it for diesels. Denso fuel pumps and injectors are standard—Toyota has used Denso for years due to reliability.
Moving inside, the Trail Boss interior is similar to other trims, with two-tone black bumpers, wheels, and tires as standard. You get a badge and downhill assist, with no extra lift. The interior mirrors the LT or LTZ trim depending on what you select. Dual climate control, heated seats, push-button start, and a fully digitized gauge cluster are included. You don’t get ventilated seats until LTZ, though. For towing, you manually extend the mirrors, and the screen is customizable. GM’s screen interface is user-friendly compared to Ford’s Sync and even Ram’s.
Lastly, let’s look at the financing and rebate options. The Chevy Silverado LT with the Trail Boss package has a $1,000 customer cash rebate right now. In the first scenario, with 5.49% for 60 months, $10,000 down would total $1,138 in interest over 60 months. With special financing at 3.9%, you save significantly on interest. Always check with your dealer, as rates may differ month-to-month.
