Future Chevrolet Presents the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trim Levels

As the move toward a cleaner, electrified future gains momentum, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV stands at the forefront, proving that full-size electric trucks can deliver uncompromising power, capability, and innovation. Built on GM's cutting-edge Ultium battery platform, the latest Silverado EV enhances everything drivers appreciated about earlier models, offering greater range, smarter technology, and even more versatility for daily driving, hard work, and weekend adventure.  The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV trim lineup includes the highly capable WT, the more feature-rich LT, and the adventure-ready Trail Boss, giving drivers throughout Roseville, Folsom, Rocklin, Lincoln, Davis, and Fair Oaks a Silverado EV tailored to their needs. With an EPA-estimated range of up to 493 miles, up to 760 horsepower, and a 12,500-pound maximum towing capacity, the 2026 Silverado EV proves that going electric doesn't mean leaving power behind. This truck is engineered to haul, tow, and conquer demanding jobs just as confidently as traditional gas-powered pickups, while offering the smooth, quiet performance only an EV can deliver.  Inside, the Silverado EV offers generous cabin space, clever storage throughout, and advanced connectivity features that make every drive more efficient and enjoyable. Premium materials, a modern digital cockpit, and thoughtful design ensure comfort on long trips and tough workdays alike.   At Future Chevrolet, we're excited to present the next generation of electric trucks. Join us as we dive deeper into a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV trim comparison, exploring its three unique offerings, as well as performance, range, technology, and 0-60 times to help you find the perfectly priced electric truck for your lifestyle.

Performance and Efficiency

Built on GM's cutting-edge Ultium architecture, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV pushes electric truck performance to new heights with a massive 200+ kWh Ultium battery pack and a dual-motor electronic all-wheel-drive system that delivers exceptional traction, strength, and precision. In its high-output configuration, the Silverado EV produces an incredible 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, launching this full-size electric truck from 0-60 mph in just over four seconds. Chevrolet enhances both range and efficiency for this latest iteration, giving drivers even more freedom on long trips. Thanks to improved battery chemistry, smarter energy management, and subtle aerodynamic refinements, the Silverado EV now achieves an EPA-estimated 493 miles of driving range on a single charge. To demonstrate the platform's potential, GM engineers conducted a specialized ultra-efficiency test using a 2026 Silverado EV Max Range WT, achieving an astonishing 1,053 miles on one full charge. While this outcome required careful planning and extreme hypermiling techniques-far beyond typical daily driving-it highlights the remarkable capability of GM's Ultium technology and the brand's commitment to pushing electric innovation forward.  Capability continues to be a Silverado strong suit, with the 2026 model offering a 12,500-pound maximum towing capacity, giving drivers the confidence to haul trailers, boats, and work equipment with ease. Charging is faster and more convenient than ever, thanks to 350 kW DC fast charging, which can restore about 100 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes. For home charging, the new high-capacity Level 2 system can fully recharge the battery in under 10 hours, making overnight charging simple and practical.

Trim Level Comparison

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV is offered for sale at the right price in three distinct trim levels here at Future Chevrolet: WT, LT, and the adventure-focused Trail Boss. Whether you're shopping for a dependable worksite partner, a comfortable daily hauler, or a rugged off-road companion, there's a Silverado EV built for your lifestyle.

WT

Starting with the entry-level WT, this trim is engineered to be a true workhorse. Inside, technology is front and center with a massive 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen paired with an 11-inch driver information center, giving you crisp graphics, easy-to-read menus, and seamless access to navigation, fleet tools, and vehicle diagnostics. The WT's cabin focuses on smart function, offering heavy-duty seating materials, easy-clean surfaces, and strategically placed storage compartments for tools and gear. On the job, the WT proves its worth with up to 11 power outlets and 10.2 kW of off-board power, allowing you to plug in saws, compressors, or other electric tools directly from the truck. The exterior design emphasizes rugged simplicity with durable bumpers, heavy-duty steel bed construction, and integrated tie-downs.

LT

Stepping up to the LT trim, the option elevates the Silverado EV's look with premium exterior LED lighting, including signature daytime running lamps and an illuminated front bowtie emblem that gives the truck a bold, futuristic presence on the road. Riding on 18-inch high-gloss black painted aluminum wheels, the LT stands out with a sportier, more upscale stance. Inside, the cabin becomes more inviting with upgraded interior materials, enhanced sound insulation, and available heated seats and steering wheel. Drivers also benefit from expanded tech features such as advanced Google Built-in compatibility, upgraded safety and driver-assist systems, and enhanced connectivity options. The LT is the perfect middle ground for shoppers looking for a good price and who want utility without sacrificing a premium driving experience.

Trail Boss

For maximum capability and rugged confidence, the Trail Boss trim is purpose-built for drivers ready to explore California's backcountry. This off-road beast stands tall with a factory 2-inch lift, and rides on aggressive 18-inch wheels wrapped in massive 35-inch all-terrain tires designed for mud, rock crawling, and deep wilderness trails. What truly sets the Trail Boss apart is the standard four-wheel steer system and Sidewinder diagonal steering, giving you extraordinary maneuverability through tight switchbacks, narrow campsites, and technical trails. The Trail Boss also includes a reinforced underbody with skid plates, off-road tuned suspension components, and upgraded cooling systems to maintain peak performance even under punishing conditions. Inside, you'll find an exclusive Black and Artemis interior with bold red accent stitching, durable yet upscale materials, and unique Trail Boss badging.
