Exterior Design & Features
18-inch High Gloss Black-painted Aluminum Wheels
Framing the 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom Trail Boss is a bold set of 18-inch high gloss black-painted aluminum wheels. The beauty of these wheels is that they seamlessly transition from a capable look that fits in on city streets to their rugged qualities that allow them to excel on country roads.
Lighting Features
Shining forward are the headlights, along with a halogen reflector and halogen daytime running lights. LED tail lights find their home at the rear of the pickup, coupled with LED stop lights and an incandescent reverse light. For loading and unloading in the dark, the cargo bed LED lights provide bright illumination.
Stylish & Functional Bumpers
The front and rear bumpers are body-colour-matched to provide a seamless look on the Custom Trail Boss. Its high-gloss black colour is both bold and sporty. The CornerStep rear bumper makes it easy to hop up in the bed, conveniently located on both sides of the bumper.
