Agreed Ben! The HD trailboss is basically just an appearance package. Like you said everything “off road” about it can be had in other packages. I think they missed a big opportunity to include a selectable rear locker (which they have on the shelf from the zr2 and at4x). That would have given the trailboss package actual off-road grit. All HD’s should have a rear locker available imo, it can be a huge help pulling trailers in dirt/mud/snow.
@chrismarbrey9678Ай бұрын
It may be just an appearance package, but if you don't like all the bling and you want all the options of an ltz, and you want a truck that doesn't have Chrome all over it. It's a great package.
@BrettShort-z9k4 күн бұрын
Can also try the Z71 sport edition in the LTZ to eliminate the chrome as well. Only available in summit white and black tho

Heavy Duty 4x4 trucks are for people that use their trucks for work. Not everyone works in an office or a shop environment. In Alberta, Canada, where I live, most dually trucks have a lift, and Mud Terrain tires to get to remote jobsites that have a dirt trail through the forest. Those dirt tracks get rutted up from heavy traffic, and when it rains, you are driving through mud. The oil and gas industry provides a lot of jobs like trucking and "Hotshot" delivery of parts to keep machinery running. I see these trucks all the time pulling gooseneck trailers. The people driving them spend all day in their trucks because it is their work truck and their office. People don't buy a certain brand of shoes because they are practical they prefer brands that are trendy, cool, or designer. Why shouldn't you choose a truck based on the looks that grab your attention? I would never buy a truck with round body styling because I prefer square or angular body styling.

I need to tell you something of critcal importance! I care about you as a person, and ( just know that you are listening to a hypocrite telling you these things I'm about to tell you; I don't honor them always as I should ) I very much urge you to listen to this to the finish: The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins- I speak for all who are children of God through faith in Jesus the Christ and His gospel, which can be thought of as being the story of Jesus's life, His purposes for being sent, and what He accomplished to win our salvation: now receive the knowledge of this truth: that our nature is sinful and that we have transgressed God and owe Him a debt of justice to be repaid; ( being hell; just forget your human logic behind justice ); we all are sinners and by default are due for the judgement of our sin, but with God's remarkable free gift of justification and forgiveness, with the work of Christ's life, the death+punishment and resurrection from the dead, being the "means" you could say, for this salvation of ours (the believers) to be won for us: whoever will have their faith ( and, according to my interpretation that this is not just a hearing of the facts, and claiming to yourself or to others "I believe it" with your mouth, and doesn't cause you to live according to the life Christ set out for us; but this rather is a faith that cries out to God "have MERCY on me!" and depends on Him ( Jesus and His finished work ) as your only hope for forgiveness and being saved, that through Him, you'll be pardoned from the Judgement of your Sins by God, because of His finished work, in what He came into this life to do, and you be reborn, ( a change of heart about your life and reality with your new knowledge of the truth, the truth that sets you free ) and be saved! Now, being a believer is not wearing a cross chain or putting a cross bumper sticker on your car or reposting some Christian meme on your phone; in fact there's so many people who *think* they're Christian, but they're living a lie, and that's scary. Faith without works is dead, and although we are saved by faith alone, the faith that SAVES is NEVER alone; thats like claiming you trust someone to catch you, but you won't do the trust fall to let them catch you; now if you believe Jesus, live according to the life he set out for us. ( we won't be perfect at it though ). Upon believing, once God marks you as His Own with the presence of the Holy Spirit ( the Spirit and power of God) in your heart, which will dwell within you!, this will bring about a life, bearing fruits for God! And you will be reborn as a new creature! With a renewed heart, no longer being a slave to your own sin but now walking by the Spirit ( described by the Bible as being a Comforter, Teacher, and Convictor of your sin to your conscience ) and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self, and passions contrary to the things of God). Basically in simpler terms that with being born again, with the Holy Spirit entering you forever, the Holy Spirit will influence your conscience/heart, prompting you away from walking in the deadness of the ways of your sin ( albeit, we won't be perfectly successful at it in this life; the Bible says that the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak; the Spirit and the flesh do battle against each other in the being of a person; we won't go on to be sinless, but surely we will sin - LESS, because Christ came not only to save us from the consequence of sin, but also from the power and influence of sin as we live out our lives ); repent your sins! Repent. Turn away from your sins ( again, I am hypocritical for saying this because I can always be better at honoring all these things I'm saying ), but dont take lightly the knowledge of the things of God and the chance you have to be saved in this life! Repent and believe in Christ and Christ's Gospel! Amen, i hope all who read this have a heart to hear; eternity is ETERNITY, and this life is NOT eternity; it's like a vapor in the wind; and again, the whole overall theme of everything I'm saying is GOOD NEWS- that's literally what "gospel" means, good news! We HAVE a savior! The Son of God Jesus Christ! What a glorious thing! And a strong hope for eternal life! There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus; they have passed from death ( and hell ) to life! My prayers and best wishes to you all who read this, Grace and Peace from the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father be with you!! ❤

So myself would love a HD truck for towing. Now an off road capable truck can still tow. The reason I love the trail boss over the ZR2 bison is because the ZR2 bison, and the AT4X HD are only available on a 3/4 ton not a 1 ton. I'm not saying 3/4 tons cant tow, but a 1 ton is capable of towing more weight and better suited. Only the trail boss and super duty tremor you can option on the 1 ton trucks. The ZR2 bison, AT4X and power wagon/rebel are not optional on a 1 ton platform. Now if I wanna strictly tow, I would get a normal 1 ton truck. But to tow a nice amount and go off-road, trail boss or tremor

The new 2025 Trail boss HD gives you a great look that you can get a front bench seat with. Most trucks with a bench you have to go to a much lower trim level. So I think this is a win for Chevy. But again I have 4 kids and need to pull a boat. Had the Ford and dont love the new ones.

I don't really get it either. It looks like a ZR2 without having the ZR2 stuff. 20" rims, no lift. Basically, it is an appearance package to make your LT Z71 look like a ZR2. Chevy just mixed and matched parts and stickers they already had on a shelf and called it a new model.

You also get LED headlights in the HD TB int the LT trim that you do not get in the regular LT trim. I think it's a big miss for GM not to have LED headlights as standard in the HD LT trim.
