Is the 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 a BETTER truck than a Toyota Tundra TRD Pro?

[@seansavage9769]

Looks amazing. As a 2019 trail boss owner I dare you to drop 70k+ and truly push the limits off road. Expensive off road vehicles are a little silly

I forgot what video I watched, but a GM engineer mentioned that a new sunroof would require a new chassis. This is basically the current truck with a new interior.

[@danielcastorena3057]

Couple of Zonks for me, 1. Needs a black on black with red stitching. 2. Dash cluster needs ZR2 graphics and ZR2 truck on mode settings.

I had a sierra 2015 and i had to sell it last year after 7 year of great use. Now this one brings me tears, i love it. I really want to have this kind of vehicles back, i am driving an suv now but i believe this is not what i meant to have. Amazing off-roading by the way.

Things I am dissapointed with: 1. REAR SHOCK placement... sheesh, come on man! 2. Need an option for 35s. 3. Drop the silverado badge off the tailgate. 4.

I’d rather get the Raptor, new Tundra TRD pro with pano roof (or TRX at this price point as a value buy), all which have more HP and torque than this Trail Boss (GM’s so cheap they couldn’t even give it a nicer exterior look) and I am a fan of GM, been in love with prev gen look of Denali HD pickup.

Hey Joe and Lori, and also the Raiti's Rides family good afternoon, how are y'all doing today? 😁 So we all know know about the Chevrolet Silverado and that it was updated for 2022 for a more premium interior and more bad a$s exterior. Anyways this is obviously the off-road version and that it haves a V8 with around 420-hp, 18'inch wheels with 33' inch tires, can tow est. 8,900 pounds and a massive 13.4-inch center touchscreen and ECT. Chevy says the ZR2's high-mounted steel bumper provides a 31.8-degree approach angle, and it haves stander 4-WD, which includes electronic-locking front and rear differentials, plus tricked-out suspension and the latter includes Multimatic spool-valve dampers that are derived from Formula 1 cars and Baja race trucks. That's only the tip of the iceberg 😅. Anyways what is your favorite half-ton full-size pick-up truck. Maybe the GMC Sierra AT4X, Ford F-150 Raptor, Ram 1500 TRX, or ECT. (Besides me fanboying about this off-road pick-up truck "Like always *ON* *THROTTLE* ") (Edit: Also what do you think about the "new" Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica)

I test drove the 2022 Tundra Platinum and Limited. I wasn't impressed with the V6 turbos and purchased a low miles 2021 Tundra TRD Pro with an actual tried and true V8 engine instead. GM trucks are always rated terrible for reliability on consumer reports. However, its important to note when comparing pricing that GM offers truck months and other incentives where you can get up to $14k off MSRP. Nobody is getting discounts off MSRP for the Tundra (2021 or 2022). In fact most dealerships are adding "market adjustments" of $4,000 and up to 2021 Tundras still on their lots and ofcourse to the 2022 Tundras. In fact a Toyota Dealer in Grapevine, TX was asking $15K above MSRP for a 2022 1794 Tundra.
