According to the central limit theorem, for large sample sizes, the sampling distribution of means becomes approximately normal regardless of the shape of the population distribution. Therefore, the sampling distribution of means with a sample size of 1000 obtained from a population with a trimodal distribution will be approximately normal and unimodal.
