Brutal Off-Road Conditions! Can the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Make it through Ice, Mud & Water?

[@polsok44]

Love this channel, actual off-roading! not some coarse laid out by the manufacturer

[@shiftmotorsports9803]

ZR2's are little tanks. Over 6 years and 105k miles of abuse and mine is still going strong. Thanks again for the recommendation!

[@Akbir123]

How good is the engine do u face any issue like Engine lights on and furthermore and what about mileage compared to Japanese names

[@shiftmotorsports9803]

@Akbir123 mine is a 3.6 V6. I've never had a warning light on. I haven't heard of any engine problems with it. The new one in this video has a different engine than mine and I'm not too familiar with it

[@MWAclanGaming]

​@@2011buddylee The only problems happening are the over the air updates getting stuck and killing the battery.

[@barryguffey8061]

You take the report of 25 problems out of 20,000 vehicles. I have seen little things that every new truck has its little bs. I have also rolled 7 state parks and offroad challenge courses. No major issues. Injector tune on the ECM is being done this week. Rear end is being checked for improper machining on the bearings. But Chevy is stepping up on all of them. And I can burn a 6ft posi mark with no brake in Baha Mode lots of torque in this baby at 430 to the wheels. Some day you will drop your gen 2.

[@chriskolaska897]

I've got a Z71 and it's a beast man especially having the baby diesel in it. It'll literally go anywhere. I love these trucks. Definitely little tracks man.

[@1011-n3t]

I like how you whenever you drive toyotas, you're are all careful and patient, but with a Chevy, you just send it.

[@NoahReinhart3]

Owned my ZR2 for about 5 months now and I absolutely love it. The capabilities surprise me more and more

[@chuckgrenci6404]

'Warm' snow and don't forget the mud really adds to the challenge; nice job Colorado.

[@GoodSamLegend]

This one looks much better inside and out than the new Taco.

[@Xcon00]

I agree

[@lgbnz]

TFL's new Tacoma also blew a front diff climbing some ice, so there's also that

[@CTR_Dan]

They want 65k for the Taco TRD pro 😅

[@Prometheus0619]

@@lgbnz It didn't blow the diff, the failure was electronic.

[@jameskocks4734]

[@scottyellis3442]

I really envy you, you have the best job ever. Great job on the content. I think that truck would walk all over the TRD Pro, but can't wait to see.

This is why we watch truck king.

[@bostonaviation2010]

Crazy how well that thing did in the snow!!

[@2151abell]

Great review, and unlike so many others out there, you guys are always out in the Real world doing it, not just walking around yet another car show talking about it... Yes, it matters ! Thank you.

[@nicholassmith7048]

Nice to see an off-roader actually fitted with winter off-road tires for once. I shake my head when i see people off-roading in the snow and ice on m+s all-terrain or mud-terrain tires.

[@docholliday6285]

Actually, MTs would be PERFECT for this trail.

[@BillyBobTup]

@@docholliday6285 For THIS trail, I agree. But for most snow/ice conditions, a true snow tire would be much. better, I suspect.

[@bradenstuart4074]

That was CRAZY! That mud and snow looked deep! ZR2 came to play!

[@josephina24]

Lockers and tires are king when the rubber meets the earth offroad

[@charlesperrier5619]

Great video. Wow, this ZR2 is fantastic. And above all, your enthusiasm is contagious. THANKS😂

[@yakimavalleycab]

I had my doubts when i seen you start dropping into that mud! ZR2 was impressive!! can't wait to see what Toyota and Ford does????

[@TREVORJB101]

ZR2 is a sweet truck. I'm so glad that stupid boss package was a one-time deal.. nothing but added junk. Can't wait until you guys get a ZR2 Bison to play with!

[@barryguffey8061]

You are mistaken. My recovery package and winch and 6 extra cameras and the Boss system was worth 9 grand in trouble.

[@davieee1168]

Ain’t no way! This review is so good. Just watched different videos from other channels, like the straight pipes, and they dont even show the rear of the truck or go off-roading with it… You in comparison, even showed the light bar at night. In addition, you are being sponsored by a small business owner, which is really cool and the way to go! I subscribed 👍

[@lanceharris3304]

Man that was a crazy test. Much better than other channels, love the content.

[@MarkVidal]

I wish I watched this before taking my Z71 in the snow last week for added confidence haha

[@davidgroff3355]

I got the gmc version of this AT4X 2023, that 2.7 is great power plant for this , mine really woke up after 2000 miles, just chugs , wet snow is very snotty slimy stuff, great job 👏

[@shughes911]

I was like no way he can go up that hill! Impressive!! We are so lucky to see Chevy making such cool capable trucks

[@walterbryan1798]

I always enjoy Truck King’s content, specifically the actual off roading.

[@alexcholt777]

Colorado zr2 Blazer? U have everything to make it happen

[@zacharygoeden1282]

SNOW BOSS

[@nlken7175]

That was very impressive in the snow and mud. Not many other vehicle's would have made it.

[@bradh7472]

Looks good. I wouldn't want that light bar on the bed though.

[@nowayoutstp4]

ZR2 for President!

[@thewireman134]

Awesome vid.. im pretty sure my 23 Canyon Denali would have had a very hard time here. Thinking the lockers were needed for this terrain!

[@RyanRKJ]

I enjoyed watching the ZR2 on those snowy and muddy trails.

[@6edge6crusher6]

I love how genuinely happy you sound sending it!

[@wrcole66]

can you still lock the rear diff in 2wd like the old model? love that feature!!

[@JBUCKNE]

Great video, and demonstration of its capabilities.

[@jmj267]

Steve you always impress me with your enthusiasm in the vehicles your driving. Still my best reviewer of anything you review.

[@SiLoc805]

Great video! Really showcased what the truck is capable of. Can’t wait for my Dessert boss to arrive. Got it on order

[@THEMUSCLEHAMSTER15]

We use these trucks in the army at the 101st. Of course it’s more tactical is called a ISV. Same chasis, suspension and off road computer but with a diesel motor. The truck is absolutely amazing. We successfully broke 3 but it’s cause of night driving and we actually beat them to crap. But man they’re so amazing and tough little trucks.

[@dmcmc4837]

Great video fellas. Can’t believe that mud and snow before the hill on the left hook. Wow

[@sandrarebuldela-ck1zc]

Very nice. I have a 2022 4x4 LT. Colorado and I love it. I try to make it look good but it over my budget. I'm 72 and loving it. Wish I had yours.

[@RussellFrench-f8r]

Excellent video to test the off-road capabilities of Colorado ZR2 in very harsh conditions! One of the best I’ve seen!

[@TruckKing]

Glad you liked it!

[@BillyBobTup]

Just watched again. Again I must say: fantastic! I have not seen any mid sized truck or SVU do this good on the left hook and the rest, even if not snow covered. I am still in shock that you managed to get a Ridgeline thru at all, and without body damage(I have a 21). And I guess that Maverick Tremor did about as good, but trail conditions did not seem as bad. Very impressive results!

[@davewilson8308]

The style looks awesome, better then all others!

I love how You don't care if you hit such big rock like in this episode. You just continue the course. Great episode. Greetings

Awesome truck. I have a Colorado LT and love it. This looks exceptional. Thanks for the great review.

[@17MGTP]

Awesome-looking truck and very capable off-road!

[@bunnysparklzbunnytime5117]

As much as those cost they could give you some hood struts...

[@kx8960]

Struts are great....until they aren't. I'll take a prop rod for reliability any day.

[@99unclebob]

Great video Stephen, yes these are awesome trucks, no doubt , the reason you made it through all your trails and obstacles was the tires it had , i know there are not stock, i guess this is a press vehicle like we use to drive, the ZR2 would have probably made it with stock tires, not without getting stuck at least once, the price is the killer, $76708.00, I helped a buddy spec out a ZR2 back in 2020 and it had every available option except the diesel engine which he didn't want anyway . his truck came out to $21,000.00 less than this one and i know this is an all new Colorado and powertrain, there is nothing wrong with the older V6, he did the winter tire purchase from our local Costco and that thing like this just doesn't care about snow even on ice in 2WD it works just fine and ice fishing, wow , 45 feet tall icy river bank, no problem 4WD high lock the rear and Bob's your uncle 👍

[@morningdrums]

This look like an amazing truck! Check out the 2024 model. Maybe this is the one to get.

[@Nick-Louisiana]

Love the Snow Boss

[@andymorton1737]

I feel it is a very short list of new stock vehicles that would make it thru that trail without getting stuck.

[@Travcity1]

Awesome video. Love the real off roading

[@Anthony-h7q6i]

Now that was fun watching. Thanks!!!

[@jamesbrock1306]

The light bar, the sport bar and the flow tie really did the trick. Well worth the price! Just disregard the non-stock tires. Sure they had no effect. Oh, when you start throwing mud, you're not really driving in the snow anymore.

[@dennissmith7214]

Nahh that’s cold mud and ice, and mostly snow! 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@mattlee4807]

I bought my Ranger Tremor after your comparison video with the ZR2. This new ZR2 is a beast!

[@joesmithatridecorp9011]

That Truck is a Savage- I want one! I almost said that little truck- But I would say that it Grew up. I always tune in when you guys are reviewing new trucks-It has been said before, but when its true its true=- Nobody does it like you guys do100% real off road and towing tests. I know it's good information that I'm getting here. and I wanted thanks for the heads uP testing and honest reviews- and Oh Yah It makes me want to go on the trail too, - Hell I'm about to go out and beat up my Tahoe some-LOL

[@GTStuning-]

It did so well, the Bison on 35s must be absolutely wicked.

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

The ZR2 bison is even..."bigger" and better, but probably don't even need it. The ZR2 is a boss off road. Great review!

[@MAL-92]

The dream shop is coming together little by little. Good job brotha! Long time subscriber here since the Hawaii days! Btw that you’re making me want to buy a corvette like yours! Such a badass car.

[@Holden-McGroin]

The people complaining about the price are out of touch with reality. This truck starts at $48,800 US. A Gladiator Rubicon starts at $53,800. $2k more for an automatic. Considering what you get, I think it’s a steal. You can get the Colorado WT 4x4 for $35,500. Everyone wants all the bells, whistles, and performance and then they get all twisted up about paying for it. LMFAO. You don’t have to like the global economic conditions we are living in, but that is reality.

[@emmanuelcharles38]

hey Steve, this is one of the best videos among car reviews.

[@TruckKing]

Glad you think so!

[@HSB_88]

I really like this off-road testing

[@kx8960]

Looks like fun, glad you actually took it in some tough conditions. Since I can't seem to find a ZR2 on any lots I guess I'll have to order a 2024.

Man this thing is a BEAST!!

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Great job, both you and the truck.

[@marksullivan8200]

The zr2 is a beast it does what many competitors cant do even with aftermarket upgrades even toyota & ford guys respect it as do the jeep guys its pricey but to spec out a ford or toyota to do everything the zr2 does would be expensive as well

[@SuperGdhf]

11:28 honestly didn’t expect it to make it up this hill… that was impressive af. I need one of these things. They look badass and have the performance to back up the looks. Not to mention $10-15k cheaper than the Toyotas…

I know this post is almost a year old. The dessert boss does come winch ready, the test truck here has the license plate bracket mounted upside down. With that bracket flipped the license plate hangs lower and reveals the holes to mount the fairlead.

[@mikeknox555]

I love the capability of this truck, the styling is incredible as well. My biggest question is the long term reliability of this new drivetrain and electronic interfaces.... With the price point being more than a Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro (Current Gen), will it achieve the same longevity? Time will tell.... But I am doubtful.

[@eddiehaskell5578]

The difference here is front and rear lockers. Definitely the best OFF ROAD midsize. Unfortunately, a 5’ bed and a tiny back seat is a joke for any contractor. Also, 4 cyl. Turbos have a poor history.

I need the auto locker, like most people who buy a 4 wheel drive pick, I not take it four wheeling. But I will drive it in bad weather, there's times you don't see that ice and let me tell you something when that back end starts to come around your thinking about flipping a switch
