Chevrolet S10 Trail Boss proves off‑road capability in Brazil’s Jalapão

Chevrolet introduced the S10 Trail Boss, a factory‑prepared off‑road version of its midsize pickup, priced at R$ 341,290. The model features a suspension system developed with Australian specialist Ironman 4×4, incorporating new springs, dampers and Pirelli Scorpion All‑Terrain 265/60 R18 tires, which raise ground clearance to 37 cm. It is powered by a 2.8‑liter turbo‑diesel Duramax engine delivering 207 hp and 52 kg fm of torque through an eight‑speed automatic transmission.

The vehicle was put through a rigorous 500‑km test in the sand, gravel and deep‑rutted terrain of Jalapão, Tocantins. The upgraded suspension absorbed impacts without bottoming out, maintained stability despite the higher ride height, and allowed the truck to clear larger obstacles. Reviewers noted reduced rear‑seat comfort due to the stiffer spring‑leaf setup, but the overall performance confirmed the Trail Boss’s capability on demanding off‑road routes while retaining warranty coverage and driver‑assist systems.
