The TFL Studios’ 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss is Up For Sale!

Head over to TFLBids.com to get your hands on our beloved 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss!

Nothing is perfect, but TFL Studios’ 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss was damn-near perfect during its stay with us. Every year, we buy new studio trucks and use them as both support vehicles and the stars of a ton of videos. After the end of that time, we sell it off and try something new. This gives everyone a fresh perspective on new trucks over the long run.

All the material below comes from our TFLBids.com website.

Dozens of videos have featured our Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss, and it has been 100-percent reliable this whole time.

Unfortunately, now comes the time to sell it. We all agreed that the Trail Boss has proven itself to be one of the best, most unexpectedly excellent trucks we’ve used. In over 12 months, the Trail Boss has towed several times, ventured off-road in a variety of videos, and it’s been our support vehicle in a huge percentage of our 2020 videos.

TFL’s Take: 

Time to let another one of our best-loved trucks go to a new home. Our Trail Boss quickly became our go-to truck for towing, logistics, back-up, and road trips. The 5.3L V8 did everything we asked of it. The 10-speed transmission was up to the task whether we were crawling up 13,000-foot mountain off-road mountain passesMoab trails, or hauling heavy on the IKE Gauntlet™ towing test. Of all the vehicles we bought new for our 2020 long-term tests, this Trail Boss racked up the most mileage by the thousands because it was our team’s default first-choice to use. It can be your go-to truck now.
