The Silverado EV just got the ZR2 treatment. With its first off-road electric truck arriving this summer, the Silverado EV Trail Boss, Chevy is hyping up the more capable variant with the 1,100 horsepower Silverado ZR2 race truck concept.
Chevy unveils Silverado EV ZR2 and Trail Boss models
Chevy unveiled the Silverado EV ZR2 off-road truck concept at The Mint 400 on Wednesday, dubbed America’s oldest and most prestigious off-road race.
Like the Colorado and Silverado ZR2 models, the electric truck features a lifted suspension fine-tuned for off-road performance, Multimatic damper technology, locking differentials, and underbody skid protection. Chevy said Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve is the “cornerstone” of its off-road performance.
After only five months of development, Chevy launched the Silverado EV ZR2 concept, which features around 98% GM production parts.
Powered by three electric motors, the race truck delivers a whopping 1,100 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, earning it the ZR2 badge. The off-road EV truck comes after Chevy unveiled the 1,300 horsepower Blazer EV.R last month, also with a tri-motor powertrain.
Chevy revealed the ZR2 concept ahead of the highly anticipated Silverado EV Trail Boss edition. The first off-road Silverado EV variant will arrive this summer with factory-installed 18-inch wheels, 35-inch all-terrain tires, red tow hooks, and more. It will also feature a new “Terrain Mode,” enabling it to maneuver in tight spots.
The Silverado EV ZR2 will hit the track to compete in the Open Production EV class on Saturday, March 8th, driven by Chad Hall.
Chevy will reveal more details on the Trail Boss model, including pricing and full specs, closer to launch. Currently, there are two Silverado EV trims (not including the Work Truck) to choose from: LT or RST. The LT starts at $73,100 and has an EPA-estimated range of 408 miles.
| 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trim | Battery Pack | Range | Starting MSRP (Including $2,095 DFC) |
| LT | Extended Range | 408 miles (EPA-estimated) | $75,195 |
| Extended Range with LT Premium Package | 390 miles (EPA-estimated) | $81,995 | |
| RST | Extended Range | 390 miles (EPA-estimated) | $89,395 |
| Max Range | 460 miles (GM-estimated) | $97,895 |
Starting at just under $90,000, the RST gains a Multi-Flex Midgate, a panoramic sunroof, 24″ wheels, GM’s Super Cruise driver assistance, and more. The range-topping Extended Range RST model delivers up to 460 miles range, but it will run you around $98,000.
