2020 Silverado TRAIL BOSS - True Ownership Review: Did Chevy Do It Right?

Did I waste $60k on a pickup truck?
All the GOOD and all the BAD - Chevy did it right with the ALL NEW SILVERADO, but they cut corners on things that matter. Is this really the "Boss" of the light-duty pickups?

I like how you called out the 5 min dealer based review bloggers

[@Pathfinders_Ascend]

Well, it's their job, no one can own every single car in the world to review. Those guys are all about initial impressions, and most consumers need that.

[@daggumduncan1018]

I own a 2019 ltz 6.2 with a 10 speed transmission and at 48,000 is still running strong.

[@matthewgrear3260]

I just leased one and will probably end up buying it. Picking it up this week! I like how Chevy did something different rather than them all looking the same

[@adampeterson8359]

I was looking for a Trailboss or AT4 this summer but due to Covid and the assembly plants being shut down I went and test drove a 2020 Ram Rebel. I was so impressed with the interior, ride quality, and that hemi I bought it the next day. Ram is legit.

[@alexduran6284]

I fell in love with the rebel and bought the 2020 beats both the at4 and TB hands down they came in last place

[@beautepley8352]

I can't believe most people hate the interior. I love the simplicity and hate the technology. Then again, I didn't fork out 70 grand to be the first in line to drive one of these things. I like your truck, man.

As a 6’3 dude, I’ve had a 91 Chevy, 95 Chevy, 09 Ram, a ‘12 Ford, a 19 ram (only 3500 I’ve had), and I’ve always had this problem. In literally every truck the steering wheel gets in the way of my gauges. In my experience this isn’t a Chevy issue - I think it’s across the board.

[@christophermorris5398]

Bwahahaha... I'm only 5' 8" and I don't sit up the steering wheel that close. I have this same exact truck + factory spray on bed liner.

[@av7608]

Fantastic video. Your ability to be honest and break it all down, for the average American consumer, is spot on. I always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks brother.

[@eclipes00]

I’ve only had chevys the last 12 years and took a gamble on a ram and honestly after half a year I wouldn’t consider anything else, great ride , engine/trans and interior but love the look of your truck 👍

Owned 2 F150s a 12-14 both 3.5EBs and then two chevys both Z71 LTZ 6.2s a 17-19. Just traded the 19 in for a 20 Ram Limited. I was having a bunch a rattles and the rear roof was leaking said fuck it Ram your next.

[@bradsmith6926]

03 SVT Cobra I have a 2019 RST Z71 and it’s been in 27 times for warranty work. Back window leaked and dealer tried fixing it 3 times before the put a new one in, not even 2 weeks later the new window is leaking. Such a big let down. Currently working with Chevy customer service to get it resolved. It’s almost impossible to get in touch with anyone.

[@gmrtg1414]

Brad Smith Good luck man. My 17 was great no issues but my 19 was in for lots of recalls and rattles so I just said fuck it.

[@jadedjay7861]

@@gmrtg1414 These 19-20 New Chevrolet Silverados are garbage. My 2019 LTZ Z71 has had 2 rounds of rear window leaks that damaged the headliner and the 8 speed transmission is clunky and shudders. On top of all that, the suspension constantly pops and creaks and I've never even went off road yet. Unbelievably low quality though and after 1 year ownership and 19k I can honestly say after having 5 Silverados....these will be my last GM period.

[@codered9576]

Thats a beautiful truck buddy. I myself have a 2019 sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I love it. I agree the 5.3 is a long lasting and dependable engines.

[@RDA8191]

I love the interior of my 2021 Ram. The guage cluster, center consol, display, heated rear seats, the materials, etc. They really paid attention to every detail. The damn cup holders in the driver's door are lined with beer coozy foam and it really keeps your drink cold. However, I've always loved the exterior look of the Chevy. Looks damn good

[@jparra]

I would have preferred the new ram to this trailboss I got but having previous knob shifter problems on my 2014 ram I got my second choice. It’s been good to me so far, but we will see in time. My ram had the koozie cup holders too. Loved them and storage compartments in the back

[@jankogregorin5884]

RAM is something diferent. Its not truck. Its luxuz, its high class. In other way Chevy is truck, simple, hard, classic, truck. You can love it, or not.

[@mjones9088]

I also, bought the 2020 trail boss, not my first new car but I couldn’t resist this beautiful truck. I removed all badging, except the Z71 on the grill. I think I’ll add your upgrades. Great truck.

[@leftcoastloren5862]

Did you just use a heat gun to remove the tailgate badges and quarterpanel?

[@mjones9088]

Loren Eich I had the dealership remove them for $80. If you did them yourself, then yes, a heat gun and dental floss.

[@manny2386]

@@leftcoastloren5862 Nah don't use a heat gun just leave it out in the sun for an hour then just use some floss to take those emblems off, then use canola oil to remove the glue should be really easy since the glue is still new. Costed me nothing and only took me a few minutes apart from the time I left it in the sun. 👍

[@bmwmastertech9478]

When the unveiled the 2019 I wasn’t a fan seeing the pictures online but when I saw them at the dealer I was sold the hood is what really got me, one of my favorites parts of the design of this truck. I got a 2019 lt and on a 6inch zone lift and I love it.

[@JJ-lv8be]

Love how you mentioned the love for the console shifter because I 1000% agree! Beginning in 2022, all console shifters will be completely phased out on all Silverado’s/GMC’s and replaced with same button shifters they implemented in the 2021 Yukon/Tahoe’s. Hate the way it looks and definitely not gonna be the same🤮

[@mikem7928]

I seen some reviews with the shifter in the centre like the Ford coming in 2022

[@jeffreydonner7632]

Your 2007 looks INCREDIBLE.

[@dubltap7216]

I traded my 18 Silverado LTZ for a 2020 loaded LT Trail Boss with the 6.2. I love it. I'm 6'4" so I have a issue with seeing the gauges also. And I wish they would have put the console mounted phone charger in...that being said, I forget all the crap when I floor that 6.2. 🤯

It would be neat that if in the tach area there was a indicator which displayed what gear the 10 speed as in at the time.

I’m a F-150 owner (different from a “Ford Guy”...although I do love my 2018 Platinum), and I appreciate your review. I grew up in a bow tie family. My dad (83) drives a 2004 2500 HD Duramax. I generally agree with you on the looks. I like the front, but HATE that weird aero flow design on the front quarter panel. I have to part with you on the rear. I hate the rear look. And I honestly can’t tell you why. As for the 10-speed, I’ve actually heard the opposite from many reviews. I have zero issues with mine. Smoothest auto I’ve ever owned.

Very good review. Spot on!!! Exterior styling is awesome, just wish GM would stop going so CHEAP with interior build quality.... they are pushing many potential buyers away by saving a few pennies on low quality interior materials. Come on GM, get it right!!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Devinl1231]

I’m an inspector at Ford; and I own a 2020 trail boss if that tells you anything. The complaints you have with the interior I noticed right off the bat, especially the noise from the door handle. But looking deeper into the build of it I understand why, if you take it apart you see the end clip that has to be inserted first before you snap the clips into place. The noise comes from the gaps but also is more durable in terms of vibrations and longevity. One thing you did miss that most people wouldn’t notice is the offset of the bed to body. Your passenger side looking back is flush, while the driver side looking back the bed sticks out about half and inch. But safety, performance, maintenance, and overall trail boss is killing anything else around same price point. All the extras like tie down holes in bed, LEDs, tailgate, lift and shocks. As well as on star are things that out Chevy ahead of others in the market. My family drives Ford of course and will spend 53k on a truck with less features. The leather interior is amazing, i ceramic coated my whole inside and even with 20k miles on the truck I have 0 creases or wear. Love mine

[@harrisonvanhoozer1152]

I wanted to add to the gauges. I’m 6’5 so the steering wheel stays at the top and I can see the gauges perfectly fine. The truck fits me very very well.

[@cnovak1994]

I would hope, as someone who has a close sibling to your specific Trail Boss, that you consider putting a leveling kit on with stock wheels. 35’s will fit. I was so happy when you bought one too!

[@jacobpierson8995]

Truck I grew up in and drive now is a 1995 chevy k1500 z71 stepside, aftermarket rims, tires, shocks, lightbar, cam, etc.

I totally agree with you on the interior. I have a 2019 big horn also and I hate to admit but the inside kills Chevy hands down.

I personally like the bed height because I can keep a lot of things under the tonneau cover without having to keep it open. That is great for transporting stuff in inclement weather.

Awesome review. I’ve had my 2020 for 5 months now and have 7k miles with zero issues. My car history starts with 2001 f150 supercrew which was my favorite, 2011 LT Camaro so v6 also good. 2014 Ram Laramie 5.7 hemi which I drove up to 68k miles and had multiple problems(knob shift) and had to trade before it got more expensive to fix, 2018 ecoboost mustang which was just OK but just missed being in a truck so I got this. This guy is right about the transmission. My Mustang had the first 10 speed auto and I could feel every change. In the trailboss, I don’t feel a thing. I’m glad I got this truck which needs little to no change. I do want bigger tires. Hope this helps someone.

[@foxwithshades7080]

I have been in a lot of trucks. I've owned 6 trucks in my life Two brand new. So far the Silverado has been my favourite. 1986 Ram 2500 5.9L V8, 1995 K10 5.7L V8 , 2000 Silverado 1500 4.8L V8, 2006 F150 5.4L V8, 2016 Silverado 1500 4.3L V6 and 2020 Silverado 1500 6.2L V8

[@_riverlyfe_177]

I put 20x10 -19 Fuel wheels on my stock trail boss. Running 33x12.5 Atturo Trail Blade Xt tires. Rubs on very inside portion of mud flap. Super simple cut off with a razor knife. Now no rubbing. Also needed no front spacer to clear caliper. 100% stock suspension Trail Boss with no plans of a leveling kit. Very happy now with the wheel setup as stock was too sunk in. About 1.5"-2" of poke now

Awesome review! I loved how you highlighted the good and the bad! GM has been the household brand for years but Ram has given GM a good run for their money. If in the future you're ever wanting to try out another truck I'd give Ram a crack! Air ride suspension, panoramic sun roof on most models from Rebel to Limited, e-torque, ecodiesel, etc. So many options! Not to mention the multi function tailgate and HUD display and rotating headlamps on some of the higher trim models!

[@dennydeckerful]

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the interior, with the steering wheel vision , the backseat being the best seat in the house. Also impossible to set anything in the bed from the ground.

[@kennethchurch6131]

i am 60 years old and had trucks my whole life. I bought a 2020 trail boss LT and love it. I am 5 ft. 6 in. and have no problem getting stuff in and out of the bed. Climb on the rear tire dude if you want stuff from the bed! The gauges are perfect for me. The only thing I do not like is the auto stop start, I shut if off as soon as I start the truck.

[@mtower235]

I love my 21 Trail Boss. Your more about looks and being noticed than utility. It does great pulling 6K+ camper, cattle trailer and all kinds of other trailers with hay and equipment and stuff. It’s not a pavement queen either. It does very well off road and I put a Steel Craft bumper and winch on it. I’m 5’11” and have zero issue seeing gauges but I’m looking at them very little while driving anyway. I’m watching the road. I did add Rigid flush mounts in the rear steps which tremendously help backing up at night. I’ve got 2 radios in the hump and the antenna are on the toolbox. I put a small lift crane on the passenger side bed that stays hidden and helps me load generators and things. We do have the same drop down steps with short wife problems.

I am a Ford and Chrysler/Dodge guy and last GM product owner was a used 1964 Impala when I was younger. Yesterday I traded a 2020 Ford Explorer for a new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 Black with ball out package. Drove a 2020 F-150 and liked it but loved the Silverado and got more for the money. I disagree about fenders and side profile. I love the look of the truck and always have since the new design. I am not and have never been a truck person but this truck is so fun to drive and look at. Don’t regret the trade at all and yes as one commenter said go with LineX. This one I bought already had a sprayed in bed from factory.

[@MountainMace]

Square fenders force you to use smaller tires than you could with rounded fenders so that’s probably a reason they did that, due to customer request and wanting to create some more off road worthy packages from the factory

Please start making some Window Decals of your LoneStar Hawaiian Crest. I have been watching for awhile now, would like to fly your flag on the Rear Window of my 2019 LTZ. I have put some Clear Wrap on top of my Door Sill entrance areas and Front and Rear Door edges to help with scratches and dings.These areas scratch easily, this Clear Wrap disappears after install and protects my entryway and very inexpensive. I installed a Auto Stop Eliminator almost 9 months ago, works like a dream ($89.00). I did take an idea from GMC Sierra on a Grab Handle for the Bed of the truck, the mounting hole are the same between Manufacturers and mounted the Folding Grab Handle on the Drivers side of the bed to assist in climbing in the Bed, bought a brand new handle on Internet for $100.00, folds away when not in use. The interior is very nice and vehicle and is quiet. I am 6'0" tall and haven't any issues seeing my Gauges at all. Thanks.

[@brandywine3235]

Very fair review. I purchased the RAM Limited 19 because of the look inside. Its not very aggressive but was amazing. Things you don't think about are quality and fun factor. RAM quality is horrible when it comes to dashboard material which have de-laminated on multiple dodge vehicles (current wait time for replacement is 12 - 18 months) also the cabs leaking still in the 5th generation. The tech is advanced but after awhile you miss the simple stuff. In the end, I purchased a raptor fun the fun factor. The simple design of the F-150 and Chevy is over looked. I hated the small looking wheels on the chevy. AT 4 was a monster but just couldn't bet the fun factor of a raptor!

I have the 2020 High Country with the 6.2 engine. Agree with most of what you said. I’ll add that the driver’s seat is incredibly firm on my 55 year old bony ass, and if I were to go on a long road trip, I’d have to add a cushion. MUCH too firm. Agree that the interior is cheap and cheesy feeling. I do love the heads up display on my truck, as well as the killer power of the 6.2. Fuel economy is awful, but hey, it’s a truck!

While I agree with you on a lot, I do think you were reaching on some points. As far as dodge and Ford smoking gm on interior, true, but... I’ll take the truck that rides like a car, will start and go when you want it too, and not brake down anytime. Also! A company called STILLEN makes an insert that goes up by the grill to direct airflow into the intake(so it doesn’t have to compete with the radiator and cooling fan for air). I have one in my 2019 Silverado and it’s a perfect complement to a CAI.

[@jasontindall54]

I put 20x10’s with a -19 offset on mine without a level or lift. No rubbing after I took the mud flaps off.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks!

[@JaredFMansfield]

Custom offsets did a video on what wheels would fit this truck. Because of the lip they made on the brake caliper, certain wheel designs won’t fit without spacers. So double check that also.

[@JRTJ54]

Jared M that’s a good point. Had to put 5mm spacers on. They actually sent them with the wheels

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

You don't have rear wheel well liners on a Trail Boss. I have unlock buttons in each outside doorhandle. I have 20" wheels. My X31 GMC came with them all, STANDARD.

[@matthewlegg9686]

I mean ZERO offense... but I greatly dislike the new front end. I have a 2017 (SCA Apex edition), more traditional Silverado front end. Yes its boxy, but so is everything else, that it what sets Silverado apart from the other two big guys. Its the look I love. That said, the mods (big and small) you have done really make that beast a beauty. I just cant get past that new look on the front.

[@scottnelson9507]

Having a 6.2 and getting capped at 98mph makes me sad. It will keep shifting up so I get better mpg at its top speed. But alteast I get to 98 fast

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Sounds like you need to remove that governor sir.

[@travass100]

And no programmers are available for the '19 and up trucks. That is irritating that they have gone the way of Dodge on the PCM software.

[@kevinsnapp893]

Awesome video. I have a 19 LT. 2.7 turbo. I love it. 3 kids and river trips it is beautiful. Trying to find a good leveling kit at a good price

[@Jonathan-tb6fm]

Give the 99 some love. :/

[@madeyalook5047]

Harder to reach in the bed because the trail boss has a 2 inch lift but you could still almost reach the bottom.

[@headybands]

I have a 2021 Trailboss LT…. Best truck I’ve ever owned. 🤷‍♂️

[@GuthrieBoys]

I wish I had these problems. Sweet truck!

[@fuoman100]

My 2020 LTZ comes with stock 33x10 tires on 20 inch rims. I hate the look with no fender liners. You shouldve optioned for them or told the dealer to include them. The ltz includes metal interior door handles. The seat positioning you chose is also incorrect. There is a proper posture position and with the power controls on the seat and memory feature you should adjust for yourself and wife. If adjusted correctly the visual angle to the cluster guage will be correct. You have also chosen a trail boss with the 2 convience level packages also the z71. This is basically a rst with the rough country lift kit. Yes chevy uses rough country:( . The sd card is for the optional $480 navigation upgrade. I personally prefer the 8 speed transmission with the 2 speed rear end. The 10 speed transmission is still not proven to me and if im not mistaken its a belt drive transmission. You also do not have afm you have dfm with the 17 pattern cylinger deactivation. AFM only goes down to 4 cylinder and is found on the lt base and wt trucks.

Do you realize this 5.3L shares nothing with the previous 5.3L? It's an entirely new engine compared to the previous 5.3L Vortec of 2013 & previous years. This is an Ecotec motor.

[@gizzy2403]

Explain. What makes it an Ecotec?? My wife's Malibu has a 2.5L 4cl Ecotec

[@jonathanwilliams3949]

@@gizzy2403 the ecotec motor is direct injection motor and the old 5.3l is port injection, quicker throttle response and better fuel economy, and it has dfm, were it shuts down multiple cylinders while cruising, down sides with this new motor is with dfm, over time it can cause lifters to collapse, and with di the values gum up quicker.

[@gizzy2403]

@@jonathanwilliams3949 gotcha, I didnt know that made it Ecotec b/c my wife's old car is an Ecotec 4cylinder & it only has vvt but that was in 09 also. That fuel management system makes me want 2 shy away from Chevy if I evr need 2 buy a newer truck again, unless it can b turned off/ disengaged

[@jonathanwilliams3949]

@@gizzy2403 honestly I would not get a sliverado if I had to do over, i would have gotten the toyota tundra it does not have all the features but its a truck that is really reliable. Because with this new chevy di motor its gonna cost money for keeping up on valve cleaning, and I just had to put my truck in the shop already for a rear window leak and another for the computer hopefully this is not the start of something, have a good day sir.

[@gizzy2403]

@@jonathanwilliams3949 well I cant say I blame u, what yr was your Chevy? Me personally I would definitely try a Ford b4 I went Toyota. Mainly because theres a really incredible dealership me & wife use & her stepdad used for many yrs. They dont give us any static whatsoever on fixing things, & as long as it stays that way I'm gonna stick with them. Like I said,I dont blame u though @ all. It doesn't help either that r Toyota dealer in this region is a real flaky bunch

[@IamMugs]

@19:15 I'm 6'0 and don't have this issue. Maybe leg/torso proportions?

[@kirkdunn1379]

I am 6'0" and have an issue.....seating and ergonomics they missed the boat on..

[@USAUSAM82]

I still havent taken possession of my 2021 TB and im hearing horror stories of their engines dropping cylinders and valves. Im wondering if i should back out of the deal!?

[@wyattwalden1733]

nearly every aftermarket wheel wont make contact with the caliper with more offset. and you dont need spacers. offset will relieve this issue

[@carlbundy]

I love the 6.2 in my Trail Boss

[@jankogregorin5884]

Very nice truck. Very nice. I like so mutch, how you explane everything in lot's of 1000 details. I like lisening you, because you that doing with all love you have for that truck. I am realy enjoj. If, ever, ever will buy Silverado, will be, long bed, crue cab and 6.2 engine, why? Because! 😁 But 5.3 is very whell. Congrat's again! Nice truck!

[@markadams5823]

I would change the rear bumper. I hate the step bumper

[@laoboy316]

U need to get a oil catch can for your 5.3L motor. And a side step so u can get into your truck and the back of your truck bed more easily.

[@Prasom82]

Love you channel and I subscribe it too. Got my new Silverado 1500 LT 2021 last week. Learn a lot from your channel. 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@TakeDeadAim]

Soooooooo....you didn't actually test drive it before you bought it??? Seems many of your complaints would have been noticed on my first drive with it.
