Lord. Just change the subject line to Tacoma.

Assuming you mean Custom Trail Boss. It’s just a work truck with upgrades and a suspension, but I love mine.
I couldn’t afford an LTD and didn’t care for doing my own upgrades.
Edit: but the stereo sucks and it doesn’t just come with steering wheel controls.

It's a Silverado Z71 with coil spacers and better looking wheels and tires.

I have a 22 Trail Boss LT with the 6.2 liter.
Love it.
Previous was 19 Trail Boss with the smaller v-8. Loved it as well.

Good looking and represents a decent value. You’ll be happy with it

It’s a Silverado. It’s a good, solid truck if you maintain it well. That model has a G80 locker and some extra skid plates and ground clearance for off roading. But it also has an off road focused (softer) suspension that will limit towing over other Silverado models.
IMO the diesel is the way to go if you have a long commute. Otherwise the 5.3 is a perfectly fine, albeit old school engine. The 6.2 is pretty awesome but I think it needs 91 octane to produce the advertised power output.
I’m a fan. They are good looking rigs.

Tranny will explode soon after driving

I really like those. Very good trucks, and the best bang for the buck in its class in terms of costs of ownership per 10,000 miles of expected lifespan.
The Toyota Tundra is the best alternative if the Chevy dealers aren’t playing ball.

Had a 21 LT Trail Boss. Loved it, great truck. 5.3 and 10 speed is a great combination.

This what I have. I love it, except the touchscreen freezes or just goes black every once in a while. Something ain't right with it.

Good trucks. The only way to go wrong on a Silverado is selecting too many options.
They are solid trucks. But like all pickups, they aren’t great deals if you get the super expensive models.

My 19 radio would freeze up every blue moon. But turning it off and back on usually fixed it.
The 22 has never had the radio issue, but the back camera has frozen up like twice. A simple restart fixed it both times.

Make sure your iPhone that connects to CarPlay is up to date. And have the dealer reflash the truck.
You can actually do it yourself. There are instructions online.

Get the 5.3 with the 10 Speed and you'll be fine on the power train. The infotainment system is another story.

That’s an awesome engine. Probably one of my favorites.

I've got a 2020 custom trail boss with 5.3 V8, it is a good truck. i have about 60,000 miles on it and it has never been in the shop.
As most have said it isn't something fancy just a Z71 with an upgraded level kit and nice wheels. i prefer my truck without all of the gadgets inside, fewer things for me to break.

How is the Chevy and GMC so far apart on cost - basically the same trucks?
Posted on 4/24/24 at 2:15 pm to 4x4tiger
I have a 2021 Trail Boss, 5.3. No problems whatsoever. I didn't want anything fancy, which is why I chose the Custom. Dealership gave me $1000 for accessories, so I got step boards and trailer brake controller installed. made quite a few trips to Florida and to Fort Knox multiple times since i had it. Just turned 34,000 miles.
