Is the 2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison a BETTER truck with a HUGE sales rebate?

The Silverado ZR2 Bison is all new from Chevrolet. Under the hood is a 6.eL V8 pumping out 420HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. On the inside there a 13in infotainment screen, 12in digital gauge cluster and two-tone seating. On the outside you will find 33in off-road tires, 18in wheels and full Multimatic suspension.

The truck is great except for the hideous, useless side steps that makes the whole package useless.

[@octaviodominguez7772]

Calling a Chevy great is a big stretch 😂

[@XploreAz]

Those definitely are not stock side steps.

[@petemcfeet28]

Folks buying just a normal work truck are not using them as intended. Why would you think that folks flexing that they could afford the most expensive and capable version would use them as intended. My guess is HALF of these won't even see gravel let alone anything close to a serious off road trail.

Congrats on your purchase sir!!

[@Irishmanbikes]

NICE truck. My brother has a new Chevy 3500 High Country 4x4 for pulling his horse trailer.

[@cantdriveslo]

I got to agree with you in regards to the side steps hang down too far. Mine didnt come with them, but I did purchase them to make getting in and out a bit easier. I totally hate the glossy black hood bulge cause it reflects the sun into my eyes and its quite blinding. And also I still dont know that that random drum sound is for. Otherwise its an excellent riding truck

[@omarcortes5754]

Came for the Silverado stayed for banana information. Jokes aside this is a really good truck to buy.

[@chileshemubanga3594]

Hey Joe,the same matte black on the tailgate should be the same on the bonnet/hood bulge to avoid reflections.

One opinion. In your driving impressions section maybe consider having a hat mounted camara or something. the way its at the ceiling gives a weird view of the interior pov. everything looks kinda squashed. love all your videos though

Man, I see 60-80K trucks on the road and wonder who can afford that. I remember when 20K was a chunk of change for a vehicle and it wasn't too long ago.

[@MichaelJohnson-pg1zg]

WOW! Nice truck

[@BayAreaCowboy]

Great truck! Looks good. I don’t like the wheels or the steps. Easy to change. I would use amp fold steps. Huge upgrade on the interior. Very nice. Love the 6.2 LT engine! Needs a nice custom flow master exhaust with black tips. You know with the 12k in rebates I wonder how much under sticker I could get one? I hate my local Chevy dealer. I wish I had one close by I could trust. I am open to buying one of those for sure. Thanks for showing it.

[@chadbrinkley6358]

So you would remove the rock sliders and add non-offroad steps on a truck built for off-road?

[@Ej6daniel]

It's a really nice looking truck, especially with all the off road features but for 75k I think I would rather get a used tacoma for less than 20k and add my own 20k worth of upgrades. That's 35 thousand in savings for a potentially better and more personalized truck.

Is no one going to talk about the weak exhaust sound, or lack there of? It sounds like an electric vehicle

[@sean47w7]

Yes very weak exhaust note. For 2024 they added an active exhaust and a sport drive mode for the 6.2. Changes with the different modes. Not just for the ZR2 but for any 6.2. There are some clips on KZbin and it sounds pretty good.

[@raysanichar8098]

Stricter exhaust laws it would seem, but if you want you can option it with the chevy performance exhaust (borla type s) and you will be happy. Or aftermarket with a awe ofg exhaust system that sounds 🤌

[@TONYSTARK-jh2wu]

why would you want a panoramic roof on a truck. wouldn't that get mess up off road

[@DomSr]

I think 75k for this is reasonable because it sits right in between the Ford Tremor and the Ford Raptor which is right at 75k

[@cornflarf]

1) If you buy this and don't take those steps off or God forbid, you PUT THEM ON, just take that truck back to the dealership and go buy a Prius instead 2) Why oh why did Chevy put 35s on the Colorado Bison but not the Silverado Bison?? It would look SO good with 35s 3) Those AEV wheels look nice from the side and I like the offroad pedigree, however, those offsets are TERRIBLE. I'm not a fan of poke, but those things are tucked a good inch and half under the fenders.
