When the going gets tough and the road ahead is made of ice and snow, the Chevrolet Silverado can still keep you moving.
Because GM offers us two full-size pickup trucks, one has been left out when it comes to the nearly luxury features that they have offered for many years. Yes, the GMC Sierra Denali is the beneficiary of many of the features and qualities that GM wants to add that allows this truck to soar in price and value while the Chevrolet Silverado High Country remains the one on the sideline wishing it could have these features. No matter, when it comes to the capability and the right value for those that need to head north, the Silverado is the right choice.

One Road Connecting the Northern Areas for the Silverado

The North American automotive market includes Canada and this country is massive and vast, covered in wilderness, and has many small settlements that are extremely difficult to reach. Recently, a new highway was opened in the Northwest Territories that links the city of Inuvik to the settlement of Tuktoyaktuk which is located on the edge of the Arctic Ocean. This highway is called Highway 10 and it uses a low-impact gravel and composite base to handle the seasonal ice that can turn the road into a troublesome area to drive. You might initially think that a full-size GM SUV, like the Chevy Traverse or GMC Acadia would be best for driving in these conditions, but you would reconsider when you experienced the terrain in a Chevrolet Silverado.

The Right Silverado for the Job

The Silverado LT Trail Boss is the right choice for maneuvering on this road. This impressive truck has a two-inch lift, standard 4WD, the standard Z71 Off-Road package that includes locking differentials, Rancho shocks, skid plates, and more. This is the truck to handle the job of heading up north to drive on this highway and bring gear, a trailer, and materials that are needed to the small settlement. Forget the Sierra for this job, the Silverado Trail Boss gets things done.

The Power Needed for this Drive

The Trail Boss trim isn’t the highest trim offered for the Silverado, but it’s one that makes it possible for you to have the power you need and it absolutely allows you to choose that power. This truck is offered with either a 5.3-liter V8 engine that makes 335 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque or a strong 6.2-liter V8 engine that makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. for the drive. The latter of these engines is attached to a ten-speed automatic transmission to be the one that will give you enough power for this arctic trail.

Getting Around in the Trail Boss

For those up north, and those of us that need a truck that’s more capable than the rest of the lineup, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trail Boss can be the perfect choice. This truck is one that’s affordable, offers you the focus you need, and makes a difference on and off the road. If this truck can handle the harrowing challenges of Highway 10 in the Northwest Territory of Canada, it can certainly handle the challenges you have to throw at it.
