​@@CDechnik12889I work at the factory they just started shipping in March starting with work trucks and then other trim levels. We only built a couple of ZR2's but a bunch of AT4's, not sure what the reason is why maybe parts. I do know a few reason why the launch is bad is because GM wanted to make sure the truck is completely perfect do to the issues with last gen then we also have part shortages and a lot of new tooling has been added... And well you know adding automation to everything just leads to more headaches, also hope you get your ZR2 soon and you like it.

[@holdenc3082]

The Ranger Raptor will be a low volume specialty truck with a stupid price tag selling above MSRP. It’s not even a competitor to the Colorado ZR2.

[@brentboere5304]

The zr2, purpose wise, sits between the Mojave and Rubicon jeep trims. The Mojave is the more desert runner, high speed off road trim. The Rubicon is the rock crawling trim. The Mojave only has a rear locker, though, and is not even in the same league as the zr2 for what the Mojave was designed to do. The only edge the Rubicon would have over the zr2 is in very low speed and aggressive rock crawling, which the Rubicon is very good at with its excellent crawl ratio. So the zr2 will do everything better than the Mojave and will do everything better than the Rubicon in everything but rock crawling. The ranger raptor will also sit in the exact same spot vs either jeep trim.

I recently bought a 2016 Canyon with a manual transmission and a 4 cylinder engine. It was so quiet that I couldn't hear the engine and had to constantly look at the Tach to know when to shift gears. I wanted to get a louder muffler, and the first name I thought of was Cherrybomb. I put a Cherrybomb Vortex muffler on it because the Vortex has a deep truck sound. Now, it is loud enough to hear how hard the engine is working even when listening to music. It has a little bit of drone, and I could add a resonator, but I don't mind it. It sounds like an aggressive 6 cylinder when accelerating. Cruising on the highway is not that loud. I noticed that now, with the Cherrybomb muffler, the truck accelerates faster, and the fuel economy is better. My city driving fuel economy was 10.7 liters per 100 kilometers (22 mpg) and now it gets 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers (25 mpg).

Let's get TFL Truck to do a FULL PRICE POINT COMPARISON of ALL low-end, mid-range and high-end OFF-ROAD trim levels between Jeep, GMC, Chevy, Ford, Nissan, Toyota with a full-breadth comparison between 4x4 Compact, Mid-size, Full Size and Heavy Duty trucks AND their various trim levels to give us a final table of ALL price points we can expect as a consumer for each level of 4x4/off-road worthy trim level and manufacturer-offered package options. WHICH manufacturer gives us the BEST BANG for the BUCK in terms of lowest price for best off-road worthiness? Which manufacturer gives us the absolute LOWEST PRICE for decent 4x4 off-road worthy ability? Which manufacturer gives us the absolute highest-end 4x4 Baja and Snow/Mud/Sand/Ice-traveling capabilities? Which company gives us the BEST (i.e. lowest!) month payments on just the truck-itself financing package AND/OR any combined Truck and comprehensive Insurance financing packages? Which truck carries the most in the back bed and which truck can tow the most? Which has the longest driving range off-road? Which has the highest obstacle-clearing clearance? Creat and show a MASTER TABLE that shows all these variables in an easy-to-read format and let TFL find out WHO IS THE MOST WORTHY OFF-ROADER and who can make it AFFORDABLE for the average 4x4 truck-buying consumer at all price points and truck sizes?

Andre never quite said if he thought the approx $10K difference between the ZR2 and the trailboss is worth it. Watching how much fun he had makes me think the answer is YES, but I'd like to hear his perspective. Having driven both now, would you buy a trailboss over a ZR2 again?

[@carbonking53]

You can buy nice full suspension upgrade, skid plates, winch, lighting, etc for $10k. You will never get the the best value for your money buying it via a trim level upgrade from the manufacturer who is making a healthy profit on it.

This is Andre. The ZR2 has the cool Baja mode with Performance transmission shift. That’s one tiny regret. Other than that - I will stay with my Trail Boss. The Boss has a higher towing rating and a lot more payload.

@@TFLoffroad Great points Andre! forgot you have that 6000lb boat you need to tow (7700lb capacity👍). Hoping in the refresh years they offer a custom Trailboss (similar to your truck) and an LT Trailboss with more of the Z71 amenities obviously at a slightly higher price point 🤔.

[@Dwealdric]

@@TFLoffroad Awesome, thanks for the response. Basically mirrors my thoughts on the ZR2. Off road trims with low payload are the norm, and it makes me sad. One big advantage of the Tremor packages, as far as I'm concerned (and why I bought one).

[@samerkia]

I pray that I'll be able to order one of these soon. I am obsessed with this new ZR2!!

[@mikemissouri5152]

You can order now I believe

@@mikemissouri5152 I can, I just need to graduate college first (2 more weeks) I've been searching for a job but no luck yet

[@mikemissouri5152]

@@samerkia good luck. I bought a new 17 ZR2 and it’s been great. Look forward to the new one. The Bison is going to be amazing

[@jacobscheer2730]

It's so funny seeing trucks that have the same payload rating as a VW GTI

[@marcpikas2859]

New offroad trucks are made to perform on tough terrain but with driver and passenger and a case of beer that’s all. Payload is a non issue for lifestylists

[@harolddenton6031]

Buy a good 76"wide by 12' long trailer is you want to haul things around. I will buy this zr2 so I can go diving all over the southern Appalachian mountain logging and forestry roads in it. My colorado trail boss does a good job but I will be trading it in on a 2024 zr2 bison edition truck to gain the front electronic locking differential with the full underbelly bison steel skid plates and the 315/75r17 35 inch tires and better suspension,.

@@harolddenton6031low payload ratings still impact how much you can haul on a trailer.

Can't wait to get my Bright Blue Metallic '23 ZR2!!! Hopefully aroung Memorial day or shortly there after. Getting so excited after watching this video!

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

Love the new truck!!!!

[@TFLoffroad]

Thank you for watching.

[@Searching4Reason]

I just have a hard time seeing how the Desert Boss package costs $9k. Ordered my ZR2 about a month ago, production in about 2 weeks. So look forward to getting back into a truck again. Kudos for Chevy for debuting the ZR2 this way. Another great episode.

[@aron6998]

There’s no way that cosmetic changes are really worth $9500, you can do aftermarket upgrades that would be cheaper,better and have more options as far as looks, the manufacturer premium is rarely worth it

[@holdenc3082]

You mean that cheesy light bar and hideous front bumper that look like they fell off the JC Whitney catalog aren’t worth $9k?

[@louinzinna5890]

Enjoyed this video on your journey across Nevada. What an opportunity to play offroad. Especially since Andre has a new Colorado. Are you excited to try out your new truck on this course, Andre? You guys are so lucky to have these opportunities. Great job guys! These trucks look very appealing now!

[@allteeth]

I see them mpg numbers. Not bad off-road hitting it like you were. 11:28

[@brian2359]

I’d love to know how well it does on the highway and mileage

[@Hiluxtaco]

Well, for the first leg of his trip, he was on paved highways. And he was averaging around 14.4 miles per gallon, according to the trucks' own computer. So, not great. Those 33" tall offroad tires are not helping fuel mileage either..

[@brian2359]

[@rondail5675]

I really like the new ZR2, styling, interior, and I am warming-up to the 4cyl-Turbo. Well done Chevy. Nice advertising demo. My question is why is it only Hyundai and Kia can offer a 10yr/100k mile warranty????

[@ryansheard8092]

Cause only a fool would offer that on a vehicle like this people are gonna beat to hell.

[@99-Zulu]

I'm assuming it's because the average amount of people dont keep their vehicle for 10 years. On top of that. The average amount people who keep their vehicles for the average length of time. Is getting smaller as leasing and subscription services are becoming more widely available.

[@williamabaker12]

Because they find any/every reason not to honor that warranty.

[@samiaziz2665]

Because Hyundai had really bad reliability so they were forced to offer the 10 year warranty on the engine and transmission

[@Tallnerdyguy]

Because they can't do more Tham mall crawl

As a ranger owner, I’m jealous of those factory rock rails
