Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss: Legendary off-road prowess

-

MUSCAT: If you are looking for a pick-up truck, there are very few options that match the power, safety capabiliti­es or comfort of a Chevrolet Silverado.

The different configurat­ions and trims ensure there is one that fits your requiremen­t to the T. The Silverado offers exceptiona­l refinement without compromisi­ng on the off-road prowess and towing ability that is its hallmark. It ticks all the boxes from rugged looks to safety features, onboard technology, and convenienc­e, making it difficult to pass it up and settle for anything less. Adding to its appeal is a six-year extended warranty, 50,000km service and registrati­on that is all included in the price.

The Silverado is available with the option of 2 engine/2 transmissi­on choices. Powered by 5.3L and 6.2L V-8s, it is equipped with an industry-first Dynamic Fuel

Management System that actively shuts off any number of cylinders to improve fuel economy for optimum performanc­e and efficiency.

Key features include a 2-inch suspension lift that is standard on all Trail Boss models, 18-inch black alloy wheels fitted with Mud-Terrain Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac Blackwall tyres, and a standard trailering package. Keyless start and leather seating with 10-way power adjustment for the driver are some of the other attributes that make for a comfortabl­e experience.

Several design enhancemen­ts offer seven per cent more aerodynami­c efficiency than before. Other than a robust safety cage, the Silverado Trail Boss features several standards and active safety features such as six airbags across all trims, HD Rear Vision Camera, Blind Spot Indicator, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Front and

Rear Park Assist.

Ensuring ease of connectivi­ty always allows for several vehicle functions to be controlled by voice command in addition to wireless phone charging. Standard Apple CarPlay/Android auto allows smartphone connectivi­ty to make calls, send messages and stream music using voice commands. Chevrolet Infotainme­nt 3.0 is available on the SilveradoT­rail Boss along with a standard 8-inch screen and 7-speaker Bose sound system.

“The Chevy Silverado is among the most impressive and reliable pickup trucks on the road that does what is expected of it, and much more,” says Mandeep Singh, General Manager, exclusive distributo­rs of Chevrolet in the Sultanate.

Customers can check out the Silverado at any of OTE Group’s Chevrolet showrooms around the Sultanate.
