2020 Silverado TRAIL BOSS Review - The #1 Truck I’d Recommend BUYING!!

Reviewing the 2020 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss with the new 10 speed automatic transmission & the 5.3L V8. Is this the best "bang for your buck" off-road style truck? I believe it is!

[@adampolselli597]

It blows my mind that we're in 2020 and a spray-in bed liner is not a standard option on a truck that costs $40k.

[@coady4577]

Right. They start at 48k and this specific one was 57k. Still no liner lol. Crazy.

[@leir2005]

@@coady4577 Yeah, $40k is low. This one is more like $60k!

[@born2win259]

@@leir2005 Who cares, Id rather get my own brand spray in liner. But I'd still also like the 6.2.

[@Totrch29]

GMs are shit. They dragged put the takata air bag case to minimize the damage (everyone else settled and fixed it immediately), took government bailout money, look up their 8speed transmission problems, interior is made by fisher price. Have to pay every little option that’s standard on most other trucks. I’ll never by another one again!

[@tomcatjeff1985]

Also no standard navigation on LT TRAILBOSS.

Got about 2100 miles on my 2020 LT trail boss. Lovin it so far.

[@theshittybowman]

[@evanescent0311]

Why did you pick it over competition? I haven’t had a truck in a few years and they all have things I like or dislike about them ... can’t make up my mind between Tundra (for looks and long term reliability), GMC AT4 6.2L bc it looks sweet and love that motor (had one in our Yukon before), and the Ram which has beautiful and quiet interior which is helpful on the open road.

[@hurricane8634]

Ya just wait

[@Bru946]

evanescent03 I have a 2019 ram. I strongly advise against getting one. Mine is riddled with drivetrain issues like the engine knocking and transmission shifting harder and harder. It's only got 24k miles on it. I'd get the Toyota or GMC over any Fiat Ram product. I was fooled by the good looks and shiny exterior too.

[@hurricane8634]

@@Bru946 dodge is the worst GM is right behind them. I've learned the hard way. Only way to go is Toyota.

[@offwhite6165]

My dad has the exact same truck and color scheme of this one and it’s literally the best thing ever

[@MaestroJericho]

Really gunning for this as my next truck. It's honestly my favorite looking full sized truck too since it's aggressive without looking too "out there" like the new Tundras or Raptors.

[@wint_62]

Great truck. Definitely the best one out of the lineup. The leader in sales.

[@blaketindle4703]

Saw one in a parking lot today. Looks awesome! Definitely took pictures! Excellent review! Would love to make a Silverado Trail Boss my next truck!

Thank you kindly for the good info, I just bought my first 2020 Chevrolet Trail Boss.. ( red & Black ) this is now April 25th 2023 & I never in my life thought I'd be driving a Chevrolet... I've always has Fords.. nut this new pickup... has me wrapped!! Lol my first day I brought it home & waxed it !! Stay blessed fam 🤜🤛

[@theshittybowman]

I bought the 2020 TrailBoss LT, $44,300 on Valentines Day - I’m so glad my wife got this for me as a gift and did not go the Raptor route... it’s awesome.

[@candidoortega5381]

Raptor is over $20k more expensive is the reason you got a Trail chevy

[@theshittybowman]

Clark Way huh? I’m merely stating because I travel a lot to go hunting from AZ, ID, WA, OR and Cali and this just is a better option for my needs... the Raptor is awesome but this is a great rig. The internet is so weird...

[@theshittybowman]

Clark Way and it’s “know” not “no” if you were calling me a moron for some reason.

[@waterfowlonehitonebox3697]

Eric Nelson I think he thought you meant that the trail boss was just as capable as a raptor which it’s not but for a truck to do truck things your right the trail boss is a truck and the raptor is a recreational truck

[@theshittybowman]

Sober Gnostic they’re amazing trucks, this one just fit my needs better but it’s all what you need personally. Good luck!

[@joberthair5827]

Just bought one in black. Not as even close to as comfortable on the interior as my 2019 Ram Classic Big Horn. I have taken it off-road and it holds it own. Very fun truck, but not as flashy as others. Love the aggressive look. I’m happy overall with my purchase.

[@ursus353]

I own a 2002 Avalance Z71; I bought it brand new in June 2001, it has 106000 miles, and I have never had any issues with the truck besides a water pump and a fuel pump that I replaced. I don't currently need a new truck, but, if I was going to buy one, I would definitely consider the Trail Boss...

[@danielbuchanan5327]

It’s funny you mention the roof being a receiver for WiFi. I just got an LT Trail Boss after trading in a Z71 Colorado. I would lose signal on some roads in the rural area where I live. The Trail Boss lets me use SIRI and make calls in those dead spots now.

[@zpadventures7440]

I’m from north California born and raised but I’m visiting in Texas for a month or so with my girlfriend to see where she grew up and one thing that stood out was how all the cars have these cool Texas badges from the dealership that California has

[@idontcaresapo8233]

That’s gonna be my next truck... I had a tundra trd pro , I traded it in for a ram rebel which I love but I like to change every 3 or 4 years and I also like to change so I get the experience of driving different trucks. I do tons of off road at work and to have fun on the weekends. The Toyota was amazing but I wanted a more luxurious truck but with the same off road capabilities. The ram is 28k right now and it’s a 2019 . My next it’s gonna be the trail boss

[@wayneking4521]

I just got a new trail boss, last week, and just love it, it's a great ride. The cloth seats are comfortable, i had leather in my 2017 Z71.

[@healthballnut]

I used to sell Fords and I absolutely love my 2020 Trail Boss and mine is the cheaper Custom Trail Boss Double Cab and in Canada you can not get the Double Cab in an LT Trail Boss so I went with the Custom , just like the looks better than a Crew Cab . I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my cheap Trail Boss looks fantastic to me. I do wish I had the 10 speed auto, the Custom comes with the 6 speed. Next year I will be ordering a new Custom Trail Boss Double Cab with the 6.2 which will give me a 10 speed automatic and a bigger smile when I go WOT. I had a 2016 High Country , thought I might miss the extra bling, I do not. I have the extra bling in my car.

[@JaviChannelTV]

Very good review, one of the best Trail Boss reviews I have seen on KZbin. I have been eyeing this model for some time now but now with this whole Coronavirus pandemic I have had to hold back on purchasing one for now. The F150 Raptor is another badass truck but waaay overpriced in my opinion. Keep up the reviews!

[@15Jeep]

You can have a badass Ford F150 for a lot less than the cost of the Ford F150 Raptor. Buy new.....or even used Ford F150 with 5.0L V8......then take it to PaxPower ( v8Raptor.com) in Texas. PaxPower can turn a regular F150 into a full blown Raptor.....OR....just build your F150 with OEM factory Raptor suspension or....better yet...the ICON "Raptor Suspension".....either one is about $7000 for the parts. PaxPower gets a huge discount on the ICON suspension. The Raptor body parts are VERY EXPENSIVE......but optional with PaxPower. Cost a lot less using regular fender flares instead of Raptor body panels for the longer A-arms and wider rear axle. The end result is a slightly modified looking regular F150.....but with the 5.0L V8...more off-road capability than a OEM factory F150 Raptor.

[@skersfan6751]

Great review; I like the Silverado lineup, especially this model and the RST model; not too pricey, just right! (had a Tahoe years ago with that 5.3L engine; nice engine) 👍

[@15Jeep]

Most of the 5.3L engines are nice. However, a few model years (2009-2013-4???) had oil consumption problems.

[@alanholmes2366]

I’m looking for a Trail Boss in custom trim with the 6.2 V8. Bigger engine is the way to go. Just know premium fuel is recommended.

[@HowtowithPaulHenderson]

I bought my 2019 All-Star Silverado back on October 1st-2019 for just under $34,000 I think it's the best looking Silverado in years.

[@latinknuckle3613]

Friends new 2019 trailboss had catastrophic engine failure smoke and fire with less than 30000 on the odamiter. Dealership told him he's on his own, lawyer are now involved. Broke my heart cause I was ready to pull the trigger on the 2020 trailboss.

[@MrInzombia]

That doesnt make any sense every brand new vehicle has a 60,000 mile power train warranty. If his engine blew up at 30,000 he is still under warranty and the dealership is obligated to fix or replace it. Did your friend super charge it? Or do any kind of modification that may have voided his warranty?

[@AStanton1966]

Did you ever have a bad meal? And if so, did you stop eating?

[@latinknuckle3613]

Finally got the rest of the story he went off road with out a snorkel water got in the engine. Insurance replaced it. Its running great now🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️.

[@Mikek88]

I personally think the RST is the best one for the money

[@kirkdunn1379]

Just buy an LTZ and throw factory GM lift on separate and choose your wheel/tire combo.....you have to break down what these trucks are and whats feasible......trying to add interior is a PITA but adding a small lift and tires is super easy......heck you could probably buy any trim and buy lift separate and have em put it on b4 you pick it up if its that critical....

Respectfully and Completely disagree!!! Really like the available engine choices under the hood...especially the 6.2L. However...poor approach and departure angles! The low hanging frame rails result in poor breakover angle.....and the little itty bitty tires don't help!!! The truck needs a solid front axle for better articulation on uneven terrain off-road...especially in mud and snow. Overall.....this is pathetic for a 4WD truck with a Trail Boss decal as a name plate. I would much rather have a 1969 - 1972 Chevrolet 4WD from rtechfabrications.com
