Peering into the front-view camera on the massive center display, I see a 4-foot–deep ditch carved into the rocky landscape. Given the extra ride height of the 2026 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss, I keep calm about clearances, but how will an electric all-wheel-drive (AWD) system put the power down? Easily, as it turns out.
