How much is the 2024 Trail Boss?

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trail Boss starts at about $57,000 MSRP, with most configured builds landing in the $60,000–$70,000 range once options and packages are added. Prices can vary by region and dealer, and this figure excludes taxes, fees, and potential incentives.


The Trail Boss is Chevrolet’s off-road-focused trim of the Silverado 1500. Like any pickup, its price scales with cab style, bed length, drivetrain, engine choices, and the equipment you choose. This article breaks down typical pricing ranges, what drives cost up or down, and what buyers should expect when shopping the 2024 Trail Boss.


Pricing overview


The numbers below reflect common configurations for the 2024 Trail Boss and typical options that buyers select. Actual prices come from Chevrolet's official MSRP and dealer quotes.


These are the primary factors that influence the sticker price:



  • Cab configuration and bed size (Regular, Double, or Crew Cab with a standard or short bed) which change the base price.

  • Drivetrain and powertrain choices (the Trail Boss is typically 4x4; adding engine options or higher-spec transmissions increases cost).

  • Off-road and technology packages (the Z71 Off-Road Package, plus any advanced driver-assistance or comfort packages) can add several thousand dollars.

  • Wheel and tire upgrades, exterior styling options, and interior materials can push the price higher.

  • Destination charge and regional incentives or dealer discounts apply later in the purchasing process.


In practice, a well-equipped 4x4 Crew Cab Trail Boss with the Z71 package and modern technology can land in the mid-to-high $60,000s, and certain option combinations may push the price toward $70,000 before incentives.


What comes standard and what to expect


The Trail Boss includes off-road–oriented hardware and features that distinguish it from other Silverado trims. Expect a factory-designed off-road suspension, skid protection, locking rear differential, and upgraded tires, along with interior tech and safety features that vary by market and configuration.


Because features can change year to year and by region, it’s best to consult the latest Chevrolet brochure or a local dealership for an exact, current feature list and pricing for your area.


Summary


Bottom line: for the 2024 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss, expect an MSRP starting around the high $50,000s, with typical fully loaded configurations in the $60,000s to $70,000s range. Always verify the exact price with a local dealer and consider current incentives when budgeting.
