Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Is The One To Get - TESTED ON DIRT

It goes without saying that the ZR2 flavored Chevrolet Colorado will pass our hill test with flying colors. Check out our 2023 Colorado Trail Boss Review for proof.
For the ZR2 we decided to head out to Eagles Canyon Raceway for our favorite dirt test course to properly test out the DSSV Suspension.

[@lolotus4borderless]

Those guys are my favs! Reality reviews with lots of fun.

[@TexasTruckChannel]

Thank you!

[@keithkucerak2188]

You guys are really a lot of fun together. That was fantastic video. I just bought the ZR two but I live in the Bronx. I just like the way it looked but now I’m gonna have to find some trails.

[@smallgiant6064]

5000 miles into mine. Good truck. Wish the rear was multilink but over than that very capable and always looking to adventure. Found out it's governed at 98mph

[@thewireman134]

Do not race those 1983 toyotas on the hwy, you will get smoked lol

[@frick-n-frack4191]

Great review. One of the best I have seen. I had a 2018 ZR2 now the 2024 Zed and I LOVE IT!. One thing they took away on the traction control was FUN MODE. Completely took away TC in all modes. I miss that. OR, it's an Easter egg and just need to find it. A lot of them with the 2024.

[@philippelarocque4207]

I really like that race course, great choice for this vehicle and the Baja mode!

[@SwineyB]

I found in Baja mode when you really get on the gas the performance shift mode automatically engages and it is a lot of fun. It keeps the RPMs in the sweet spot and you can get the rear end loose constantly. Not sure if it wasn't working in this review or what but it changes high speed running tremendously.

[@albertmasella4385]

I was looking for this comment. I just bought the truck last week and this is the first thing I did. Drives awesome with the reduced ESC

[@bigbluezo6]

Have you used Launch control

[@SwineyB]

@@bigbluezo6 No I haven't, I don't think I have it though. It wasn't included on the 2023 model year and I think it may come through an update but I'm not too sure.

[@allanovalles]

Congrats on the video! I already have 1,000 miles on mine, I agree with everything you said! At first had many software issues but it has been getting better, i live in Mexico and here we already have the Ranger Raptor for more than a Year, i waited for 6 months and when ZR2 was released here i decided for it because of wait times and extra comfort besides being $13,000 USD Cheaper in Mexico, only one version for each. I believe im one of the few people that already have tried both trucks, i could safely say the Raptor is in a different category, i honestly think its a better vehicle, In Mexico we have less features for the Raptor vs the upcoming USA made. I still have some regrets on my ZR2 but ita growing on me, if the Raptor didnt exist it would be the perfect truck.

[@birdymeo]

Can you elaborate on your comparison between the 2 ?

[@harolddenton6031]

I originally wanted the ranger raptor but decided it was not worth 59 grand plus dealers absurd 10 grand markup. So after adding Tennessee sales tax of 9.75% the ranger raptor would have been an almost $75 grand. So I decided just to buy a 2024 Colorado zr2 for 50,700.00 plus 9.75% tn sales tax. So ended up buying the truck for about 56 grand.

[@LimbreDrivo]

This car screams sophistication. I need one!

[@Jh20-]

Ive been a Toyota truck driver for as long as ive been driving trucks; but man these new colorado zr2's and Silverado zr2's got me thinking about changing things up.

[@trailrunnah8886]

I have a 4runner, and honestly all the talk about the new Tacoma has had me looking closer at this truck, and it seems like a bargain in comparison. A front locker and big tires stock is awesome. Time will tell about the reliability, though you could say that about the new Taco drivetrain as well.

[@Jh20-]

@@trailrunnah8886 yeah no kidding, plus the new off road body kits look pretty ugly.

[@tjamesga88]

Just traded in my 21’ tundra for a 24’ Colorado zr2 and love it!

[@adamswihart8661]

That "off road" course looks like every gravel road in Iowa.

[@danielmintchev2916]

If you hold the button where you switch different screens it allows you to choose two more options the way the gauges look.

[@13christbane]

the suspension is awesome on road not sure what he is on about.

[@TexasTruckChannel]

We never said it was bad on road, just that it’s slightly choppier on pavement when compared to fox live valve rigs.

[@Mjr1348]

I can’t get over the fact of no power slider wdw. and all incandescent lighting except heads and fogs.

[@scottyellis3442]

From what a lot of tow truck drivers have said "do not pull too hard on Chevrolet's tow points. But over all Chevy did a good job on this truck. Good looking 🚛

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

the longevity of the engine though... hows that gunna work?

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

The cost 😮😮

[@harolddenton6031]

Regular zr2 for about 51 to 53 grand and zr2 bison for 62 to 64,5000.

[@TREVORJB101]

I wish they would have used those little side "pockets" for fog lights or maybe some additional off-road lighting with the Bison package. Some bigger side mirros and a bump in HP would be nice. This is a sweet looking truck.

[@sinepari9160]

People were ripping shocks off the prior ZR2. I was always curious but those low hanging shock mounts always scared me off;

[@TheJosesrt4]

Great video🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@pro2amatt846]

Baja mode is beast!

[@wayneeden98]

If I were to buy a Colorado bison, question, do those Multi magic shocks come in a extended stretch out version, cause I might want to lift it and I might want 40s or 42s on my ride

[@joshtaylor1416]

I would but, naturally aspirated > small engine with turbo.

[@D3athM3tal-i4c]

The dude who sat in back seat must be small, I say in a cab adjusted the front seat to me and then tried to sit in back seat and could not even fit knees into truck. So for anyone who has a child that is tall you can’t fit in truck

[@DavidDesroches-n3s]

How did the odometer increase while parked at 9:10

[@kksan]

MPG is worse than my 2nd gen raptor

[@smallgiant6064]

20-21 highway.

[@oscarwildeghost]

4 banger turbo, crazy price. But it has red tow hooks? Were do I send my check?

[@TexasTruckChannel]

Oscar gets it!

[@D3athM3tal-i4c]

Unless you need backseat space. Might be great if it is just driver and a single passenger

[@ryanyoder8686]

anyone else mad that the speedo is on the left?? Seriously, Chevy??

[@sinepari9160]

I actually like it better

[@Springfield_Duck_Sammich]

"Look at my cool new truck that sounds like a Honda 4-banger playing with a vacuum cleaner

[@harolddenton6031]

It is very capable midsized truck. Drove my 2024 zr2 truck last weekend in the mountains by hot springs,nc on logging roads and down one narrower forestry road easily crossing stream on 3 occasions. Could give a damn about having a loud obnoxious 8 cylinder engine. That sound does not makwbtgevtruck more capable driving on logging roads. Give me this Colorado zr2 with its multi matic dssv suspension to smooth out the rough terrain on logging roads.

[@Sloimer]

@@harolddenton6031what a big man you are

[@mabelpup8502]

Prefer larger vid of the truck..smaller vid of you guys..sorry..great vid though

[@TexasTruckChannel]

I know, we are hard to look at that long! Thanks for the feedback, we will flip flop it next time.

[@lt4725]

I agree, make the pic of you guys small, and the truck large. Awesome vid!! Awesome jump!!

[@septuzwillz5936]

Yah I hate the colorado crone logos they should have put ZR2 logos cuz its NOT A COLORADO. Hate when ppl say I like ur colorado I alwas say it's a zr2...... big difference.

[@B-rad303]

It's not digital camo it's called forged carbon!!

[@Sloimer]

Nobody CARES

[@Tacosauce81]

Stupid traction control! I really hate when manufacturers leave, their "influence." In the traction control "algorithm". Not letting you completely shut it off. In your own vehicle, is complete bogus! Cutting the power when you need it! Totally ruins the "capability" of the truck. I have even gotten stuck because of it. Start pulling fuses, and hammer down!

[@TheTruth23rd]

I guess you’re not aware of law suits? I guess if they built it like wish list you have would get them sued after awhile for someone dying for not letting them do everything they’re doing no and making it safer for the customers. Without those and someone dies because they didn’t have it… out of business

[@titussardonicus338]

​@TheTruth23rd I'm pretty sure that's false. Traction control is relatively new. I think there was actually a market demand for traction control, from people who thought they wanted an offload vehicle, but don't actually know how to drive.

[@kevinbroadway5398]

to many nannnies

[@JRs-guitars]

Hill test!!!

[@JenoFletter]

Test some EV trucks on that dirt . Great vid

[@honda116969]

That truck needs an aftermarket tune & maybe get rid of the catalytic converter let it breathe I bet that truck would be fast as shit would probably gain 20-30 horsepower & 50-60 ft lb of tq on a somewhat mild tune along with fix what your talking about 🆒 📽️ guys!💯👍👍

[@scottanders5333]

Pathetic quality issues. It’s a GM product

[@Springfield_Duck_Sammich]

No V8. 👎👎👎👎

[@TheJosesrt4]

It's a midsize truck, you want a V8 get the Silverado.

[@xzaviuraurai]

So many have this mentality and so do I to some degree. Unfortunately government is screwing us all over and V8 is going extinct everywhere. 4 banger for midsize and V6 for full size. It's absolutely BS but what can ya do, unless you customize it yourself after.

[@MWAclanGaming]

​@xzaviuraurai Ford and Nissan still has v6 midsized and v8 full size.

[@ArchangelMLM]

The ZR2 has been riddled with all kinds of problems, the turbo will cut the life of an engine in half, sorry but I am not following all the other sheep.

[@petermello55]

Have you heard of diesels?

[@brandonjames740]

This is so dumb, who is doing all this sand racing?????? All the channels are doing this to hype up the ford because it can’t do anything else better then the competition

[@kksan]

damn full tank only goes 270ish miles

[@smallgiant6064]

400 miles high way. 270 is off reading.

[@benchmarksignsandgifts]

Unnecessary electronic bullshit in all these new junks
