2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Review Inside And Out

[@daneickhoffakayourcarguy8045]

Just picked up my 25 Silverado ZR2 HD Bison Gas…… got the gas 6.6 and absolutely love this thing!

[@Jason-Samko]

Outstanding. Congratulations on an amazing truck

[@lawrencejames9828]

how much was it OTD?

[@wendehorn6314]

The only reason I didn't buy Silverado is the price... It might be affordable to some... Unfortunately I'm not one of those... I'm beyond happy with my Colorado ZR2

[@c.b.-11]

My 05 Silverado is basically the same size as my ZR2. The Silverados just got to big for me at my age. Enjoy your Colorado

[@wendehorn6314]

​@@c.b.-11 I know what you're talking about... I own a 93 Silverado stepside... It's basically a minitruck

[@landoflakes92]

Sure you are

[@fredp3088]

Almost done paying my 2019 TB LT. Love the Zr2 but man I can't afford another 5-7yrs of payments.

[@wendehorn6314]

​@@fredp3088 I totally get you, man. I'm not happy about being in the hole for 50K, but at least I'm paying off something I really like

[@ryanrobertson3508]

picked up a 25ZR2 Silverado with the 6.2 a couple months ago...got 12k off, there are deals to be had for sure. Out here in AZ lots of dirt roads to play on...the front and rear lockers got used for the first time today and what a game changer over a regular 4 wheel drive truck. Thanks for another great video.

[@Jason-Samko]

Congratulations on such an amazing truck

[@richardoaks3597]

Best truck. Auto 4x4 is a must for winter up north.

[@Jason-Samko]

4 auto is great in the snow belts

[@texZR2]

LOVE my '24 Silverado ZR2 Duramax. Had a '23 Silverado ZR2 with the 6.2L which was solid but the MPG's and cost of premium was painful when I traveled. The Duramax is just the perfect with this truck and I get 23 - 25mpg! Got the tech package option which I love as it has the heads up display and fold-down tailgate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

[@Jason-Samko]

Love it. Thank you. Sure is a great truck.

[@chilliewillie5847]

Beautiful trucks. Nice video.

[@stalkev]

I bought the colorado ZR2, and I really like it.

[@Jason-Samko]

Excellent truck. Congratulations

[@ronhaynes1532]

Very nice truck! Thanks, Jason for the showing. 👍🏻

[@Jason-Samko]

very welcome

[@BigSlim556]

Dude great freaking review. The front and rear lockers are a huge plus. I bought a 2024 tundra trd pro for the same price this is. I don’t regret buying my Tundra at all but I definitely would have liked to check out a Silverado. At least a trail boss. They’re very aesthetically pleasing. Great video again. Happy new year.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@BigSlim556 glad you enjoyed it. Happy new year

[@BobPopp-pk6pb]

Should come standard with rock rails or high clearance steps .

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree

[@pleaseadoptus]

Neat truck. Too rich for my blood for sure.

[@healer81]

I fancy the GMC variant over the Chevy

[@allanstephenson9336]

Ram power wagon has locking front and rear !! With the 6.4 v8 is a beast. Add 37 inch. Tires wow. Also has a winch. Yes its a 2500. But rides good

[@garysarratt1]

Wasted comment.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@allanstephenson9336 power wagon is excellent

[@texZR2]

@@Jason-Samko Except their is no diesel option for it.

[@dchale1986]

They used to be affordable trucks, not for the last few years though. A well equipped truck for 35k new, that was a reasonable price. Double it and it’s insane.

[@harborcbs]

With the electronic shifter, you should tell people what happens if your truck won't start, you can't shift out of park so the vehicle can be towed. It's a major issue.

[@Jason-Samko]

Just disconnect the linkage. Takes 30 seconds. Tow truck drivers do it all the time.

[@crazycomments8038]

Why not just comment since it has a computer chip one day the software can become a glitch then what are you gonna do?

[@sunchaser999]

Love that new color. It’s a great truck and one of the few with triple lockers.

[@JangeerAkrayi]

Wow thanks for this review the ZR2 is s great truck I had no idea, I'm thinking about upgrading from nissan frontier to full size truck

[@texZR2]

Test drive one.. you will love it. Look for one with the tech package which gives you the heads up display. You'll thank me later

[@jawzzy3]

Should have 35s, I agree. Full size trucks make 33s look so small lol

[@Jason-Samko]

agree 100

[@kelviskelvis7140]

I am looking forward to the 2025 trail boss trim level to become available sometime this spring.

[@Jason-Samko]

Love the trailboss

[@Forthetimebeing72]

You had me till the $71,000 and the shifter. I am also curious what you think about the need to idle for AC in the south and the issues that causes for these engines. Sometimes you can get stuck in traffic for several hours or no where to go indoors. It sucks that those situations can cause issues with a super expensive vehicle.

[@Jason-Samko]

no issues idling in situations like that. If that was a weekly occurrence though, Id move. If im stuck in traffic for 10 mins im pissed. If i had to for hours regularly Id literally quite my job and move.

[@Forthetimebeing72]

@ oh come on you have been to ATL before. Plus mosquitos are so bad in the south if you were staying in one place for a while the truck is your only escape.

[@tyron2854]

70k is not priced right lol

[@shannoncasper8670]

I was kind of surprised to see a.s.s. on the oil burner. Really nice truck.

[@Jason-Samko]

A.s.s is coming to everything g now

[@Gadfly2025]

Seats soft Corinthian vinyl?

[@williamcarter4705]

I love that Cypress Gray.

[@Jason-Samko]

me too

[@Caspian_77]

Fantastic truck, looks amazing. down here in South Texas chevy is king. Jason what truck do you recommend for someone that wont offroad? mainly gonna use it for commuting and hauling minor things but nothing too extreme yet being capable if the opportunity arises

[@Jason-Samko]

midsize: frontier or colorado. Fullsize the ram warlock or the 2.7 silverado with z71 package or silverado trailboss.

[@vernscrote2237]

ya really wanted the ZR2 when I got my LT trail boss, but didnt want the 6.2 engine, wanted the 5.3. Also, saving the 20k was kinda worth it too. I did really like the power folding mirrors in the ZR2 tho

[@nicholascaputa2748]

Now if they could get rid of their cylinder deactivation system on the gas engines...

[@ews360]

As if trucks aren't expensive enough, and few are assembled w/ U.S. labor, in the U.S., now it's going to be interesting soon how the proposed tariffs may impact full size truck prices.

[@traebishop3846]

Okay, I'm in love with this truck... Did I make a mistake going with a Tremor F-250? I suppose not, it's a lot more truck, with a lot more towing and hauling capacity, but I wish I would have at least taken a flyer on one of these.

[@Jason-Samko]

F250 tremor is an amazing truck. Personally given the choice between thos and f250 tremor I'd take the f250. Strength, solid front axle, amazing 7.3, easy to install 37s, excellent resale value.

[@TheeAaron]

The GM half ton Diesel is great

[@Jason-Samko]

agree

[@seanmcneil2903]

I’m a trade my bison in for this unit. Cypress grey😍

[@Jason-Samko]

the cypress is super sexy

[@davisindustries2780]

Would you be able to do a drive video with the 3.0 zr2 bison ? Thanks !

[@Jason-Samko]

I dont do driving reviews. They are too subjective and Im the kinda guy that doesnt care about how good shocks are or how smooth the trans is or power etc. To me I only care about its capability. so im not a good person to give a good driving impressions video.

[@marksullivan8200]

Awesome trucks id likely go with the 6.2 gas version as it's got forged internals & it weighs less

[@Jason-Samko]

Great motor. Great truck

[@userundefined01]

I have a 2022 F-150 King Ranch and I can unlock the doors by placing my hand behind the door handle and I can lock the doors by pressing the lock button on the door handle without taking the key fob out of my pocket. So, I don't understand the jab 14:30 you made at Ford?

[@Jason-Samko]

Only lariat and up does that for ford. That's the problem.

[@Drake-b6i]

🤮 Y’all are the reason why these companies keep the prices the way they are .! STOP 🛑 giving these automakers good reviews .!

[@Steamy_Dumpling]

What are the chances of catching this video headed to a dealership twice just to pick up a ZR2

[@Jason-Samko]

Congratulations on such an amazing truck! Color and motor choice please when you get a min to reply. Curious what you went with. Congratulations again

[@TheJimbob1603]

Sorry .... Chevy's inability to even admit they fu@ked-up on the 8L45 transmission is pathetic. I'll be replacing my 2017 Silverado this spring ...... and it definitely won't be a GMC product.

[@Jason-Samko]

Funny how times change. In 2017 I would of bought a f150. And not a silverado. Today I'd buy the silverado and not a ford 150

[@TheJimbob1603]

@ I've purchased (new from dealer) over the years; 2 Fords, 3 Chevys, 1 Tundra. By far, the 2017 Chevy was the most problematic truck for me. This week, I'm leaning toward a new Tundra in the spring ..... but, Ford may be the leader next week. I might even be coerced to visit a Dodge dealership. But, I will never buy another GM product again. Chevy's arrogance and 'my shit doesn't smell' attitude regarding their faulty transmission design has cost them a returning customer. If Toyota can 'pony up' their rotting frames & bricked engines, Chevy should've been able to replace a squirrelly transmission. My God, ask anybody with an 8L45 transmission ..... I wouldn't even give it the satisfaction of being a boat anchor. Every man needs to make his own choices in transportation. Mine happens to no longer be GMC; not because of a bad transmission, but because they won't admit they seriously screwed up.

[@fit4ya1975]

@@TheJimbob1603 The seats are the deal breaker in the Silverado for me. Too short, narrow and hard. Have a 2020 and may be going to RAM. Never had one but a friend does and man the interior is nice and the seats are very comfortable. Not a fan on the I6 but I'm not towing a lot so it may be ok.

[@iwoww562a9]

Beautiful truck, it's not worth the price considering it's a time bomb with the engine failures go 2500

[@Jason-Samko]

this motor is rock solid

[@douglowney3901]

That thing can only tow 8900lbs lol. Those fancy seats will be great when you're out of control towing. Good grief

[@Jason-Samko]

A race car doesn't tow well either, but neither of these are designed for that purpose

[@douglowney3901]

@Jason-Samko your ding dong ass is out showing a "Truck" gloss right over the main reason people buy one and shoot right over to some stupid seat cubby. Get real.

[@crazycomments8038]

I bought my truck for grocery shopping, not towing because I have money to burn think about it!

[@douglowney3901]

@crazycomments8038 well money to 🔥. Having paid cash for a 24 F250 6.7 Lariat just 4 months ago. Saving money 💰 is better than burning money dummy

Id take a pw over any full size or hd vehicle made today. Love the pw. But anytime I mention the silverado zr2 is only full size with front lockers 500 Power wagon owners jump on my saying "no its not, powerwagon does" power wagon is an hd, not a full size.
