The LT Trail Boss serves the purpose of off-roading, sporting features that prepare
it for duty such as a lifted suspension. The LTZ polishes its boots with the
luxury touches that make the passengers a bit more comfortable, and since both
trucks are around the same price, the choice always comes down to the usual
matter of your own personal preference. Both of the trucks in the pair come
with a 5.3-liter V8 that cranks out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The
Trail Boss is paired to the 10-speed automatic, and the LTZ brandishes an
8-speed auto.
The
burning question that this video set out to answer
was whether or not the truck that brandishes more gears has what it takes to
win an all-out “showdown on the strip”! And as the two drag races finish in a frenzy
of smoke and excitement, the LTZ was the quicker of the pair. During the first
race, the Trail Boss driver is a bit slower right off the line, but the second
time things equal out quite a bit. The truck that was constructed with extreme
off-road duty in mind ends up just a hair behind its more luxurious rival when
push comes to shove. The Fast Land Truck also went through the task of doing a
proper fuel economy check, utilization mostly city streets.
As
the staff of US News also reported in their car section, one
great quality that the Silverado 1500 boasts is that it gets bragging rights
for best-in-class towing capacity, as well as top notch fuel economy by means
of this year's new turbo-diesel engine. Many of the world's most experienced
drivers also hold it in such high regard for being one of the best handling and
balanced rides to exist in a truck. New for 2020, maximum towing capacity saw
an upgrade to 13,400 pounds, and you can choose from three large bed sizes that
all utilize the best form and function in the space category for hauling.
One
of the best features of the LTZ package for truck lovers right here in Missouri
is the Snow Plow Prep Package: for the days when the white stuff is abundant it
offers up heavy-duty front springs, skid plates, a 220-amp alternator,
high-capacity air filter, and auxiliary transmission oil cooler. The Max
Trailering Package for the LTZ is a great add-on for anyone who has a full day
of hauling duty in front of them: here you see the added benefits of an automatic
locking rear differential, an enhanced cooling radiator, heavy-duty rear
springs, revised shock tuning, and a trailer brake controller.
