If you want a midsize truck that leans a little more off-road without going full desert racer, the 2025 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss hits the mark in style, function and tech. Find out what the New Trail Boss model in the 2025 Chevy Colorado lineup looks like below!

2025 Trail Boss Changes and Upgrades
For this model year, Chevy focused on meaningful changes that improve how the truck drives and tows. For starters, the 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four now comes standard across the entire Colorado lineup. This is the same engine found in the Silverado 1500, and it brings serious power to the midsize space.
The Trail Boss trim specifically picks up a few everyday features that now come standard, like cruise control, a rear defroster, and a sliding rear window. You also get Chevy’s Advanced Trailering Package built in, which includes integrated trailer brake controls, hitch guidance, and a smarter towing setup that doesn’t rely on dealer add-ons or aftermarket fixes.
Chevy also swapped out a few paint options. Reef Blue Metallic and Sunrise Orange are new additions; Nitro Yellow, Glacier Blue, and Sand Dune Metallic are no more.
Engine, Towing, and Fuel Capability for the 2025 Trail Boss
That 2.7-liter turbo-four delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, matching what you’d find in some full-size trucks. It’s quick off the line, and there’s plenty of torque for trailering and off-road crawling.
When properly equipped, the Trail Boss can tow up to 7,700 pounds, and with the Advanced Trailering tech onboard, you don’t need to guess your way through hitching or braking.
Fuel economy comes in at around 18 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway—not groundbreaking, but fair considering what this truck can do.
2025 Trail Boss Creature Comforts and Tech
Inside, the Trail Boss sticks with a practical, usable layout. This is a crew cab with four doors, so passengers get decent space, and the durable interior materials are made to take a beating.
The 11.3-inch infotainment screen is responsive and easy to use, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included. You also get two USB ports, a 12-volt outlet, and the option for Google Built-In if you want access to live maps and voice commands. A six-speaker system is standard, but you can upgrade to Bose if sound quality is a priority.
Seating space feels roomy enough for daily use, though taller drivers might notice the slightly reduced headroom compared to the previous model.
