Which Trail Boss Fits Your Priorities

Start with Custom Trail Boss if you want the factory off-road setup and prefer to put more of your budget toward the truck’s working equipment. It is worth comparing the final price of an optioned Custom Trail Boss with the LT Trail Boss you are considering.

Choose LT Trail Boss if the larger displays and additional engine choice matter to you. During a test drive, check the controls, seating position, phone connection, rear seat space, and visibility. Those everyday details can make the choice clearer than a feature list alone.
