We perform low temperature transport measurements on dual-gated suspended Bernal-stacked(ABA) and Rhombohedral-stacked(ABC) trilayer graphene in the quantum Hall (QH) regime. In ABA Bernal stacking order trilayer, we observe QH plateaus at filling factors ν=-8, -2, 2, 6, and 10, in agreement with the full-parameter tight binding calculations. In high magnetic fields, odd integer plateaus are also resolved, indicating almost complete lifting of the 12-fold degeneracy of the lowest Landau levels (LL). Under an out-of-plane electric field E⊥, we observe degeneracy breaking and transitions between QH plateaus. Interestingly, depending on its direction, E⊥ selectively breaks the LL degeneracies in the electron-doped or hole-doped regimes. In ABC Rhombohedral stacking order trilayer, we observe QH plateaus at filling factors ν=0, 1, 2 and 3 in a high magnetic field.
