Which Silverado Trim is Best for Off-Roading?

A couple of the Silverado trims are tailor made for off-roading, and they are the Silverado 1500 Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, and the ZR2. How are they made for off-roading? They have the following features that are designed to take on all kinds of terrain:

  • Chevrolet Silverado Custom Trail Boss:

  • Silverado ZR2

What Types of Drivetrains Do the Silverado Trims Have?

Many Silverado trims come standard with rear-wheel drive, and these are often ideal for activities like towing and hauling. However, they can all be upgraded to four-wheel drive.

Some Silverado 1500 trims, like the ZR2, come standard with a four-wheel drive powertrain. This is the case because 4WD powertrains are extremely useful for off-roading and driving through all kinds of weather and precipitation.
