Does A Chevy Silverado ZR2 Make For A Good Daily Driver?

[@MichaelKlippi]

My dad paid 86k in full for his ZR2 with every option. had 30 miles. He drives it ever day and puts 600 miles every weekend on it. Hit thoughts are, “I paid for it, I’m gonna drive it”

[@ellocalcrew613]

Smart man

[@JoshHendrickson-ht7pw]

86k ouch they are 60k where I’m at brand new and that’s the 22-23s

[@rmac1828]

For that you can get a fully loaded Z71 trailboss for 60-65 thousand.

[@James-t3c]

You can get almost 20k off of these now.

[@Michael-di6ss]

Ditto…got mine for 62. It was one of the show trucks and only had 200 miles on it. I love that truck. I had the 5.3 trail boss before and this 6.2 gets better gas mileage than the 5.3. Although the 6.2 has to have high octane fuel. I’ve driven through downtown Denver, St Louis, Cincinnati, no issues. A bit tight at times but with all the cameras it’s easy to navigate small spaces. I towed a bunch of crap across country, the largest UHall trailer available completely filled. The truck had no issue, you could barely even notice it was pulling anything. The only reason I got rid of my TrailBoss is because my daughter beat me off the line in a Nissan Juke and I couldn’t let that stand. One draw back is the hood cowling has a tendency to reflect light back into your eyes on account of its high gloss.

You can get these for 60k now. Massive deals.

I have to agree with all the information he just explained because I just purchased one with Bison upgrade.

[@KingOfTheCurves]

My neighbor bought 1 used with 25,000 miles at 28,000 miles he was one of the unlucky people to experience the cam phaser catastrophic failure 6 weeks at the dealer but warranty covered the engine will say by far this truck has the NICEST interior I’ve ever seen and is outfitted with the best 4x4 drivetrain I’ve seen on a factory truck I would buy this over a trx or raptor

[@x246813579]

The cam phaser issue is for Ford.

You want more badges and I pull badges around the vehicle off. I like it clean looking.

[@megillet]

Same. Badge free only way to roll.

[@outdoorssmith5454]

I like the factory badges on there, I feel like the cheaper trucks come with less badges

[@redbaron129]

Seriously ! I own that truck.. And I love the center console shifter placement. If I wanted a regular old school truck I would have ordered a much cheaper version of basic Silverado . I wanted a sport model and that’s what I ordered including the Borla exhaust and Sport Bar, and Retrax hard cover. Go find yourself a commercial workers truck if that’s what your looking for

[@Adam_K_W]

If you go check out a 2500 Duramax, the gear shifter is on the column, the only trouble with that is when it's in Drive, the shifter is dead center of the screen of the display! That wasn't well thought out.

[@ChallengedCustoms]

The ZR2 also comes in 3.0 Turbo Diesel...not just the V8 option

[@davidcarson7542]

The ZR2 is better with the 3.0L diesel for the 2024 model.

[@lennardhutchinson992]

this was a really good display of this truck, thank you , my only knock is that it comes not with a extended cab and long bed witch is my preference I had on my 1984 S-10 and my 1995 Sonoma and my 2003 s10 ZR2 and my now everyday 2021 Colorado Zr2

[@drjhunter]

I just bought a zr2 Bison with the 3.0 Duramax - drives amazing with the multimatics and yes it’s a daily driver . Paid $78K . Stickered over 83K

[@fredpenner9866]

This is to target the Tremor or Rebel package guys, not the TRX or Raptor....

[@gdawg400]

I think that's what the trail boss is meant to do. This can keep up with the raptor and trx engine aside especially with the bison package.

[@ferretsmiles]

It really isnt. It is a step above the tremor or rebel trucks but is in a different lane than a TRX or Raptor. Those trucks are more dessert runners while the Silverado fairs better on a trail particularly because it is not as wide and it has the front locker.

[@andrewcampbell5699]

TRX and Raptor are open area / desert focused. ZR2 kept a “narrow” body to be more trail focused.

[@ChiacchieraconMichele]

Great review and thoroughly explained! Does this vehicle have wireless Android Auto?

[@andrewcampbell5699]

Yes

[@jayl5941]

I would never even consider owning a 6.2 with a 24 gallon tank. I had a 5.3 with one and have fun on long days hunting in the middle of nowhere or towing a boat. With this you better stay close to gas stations.

[@Apxtyson]

Raptor ain’t that price. Markups and most are over 100k. Where you been?

[@김용중-t5w]

😅

[@G8GTJav]

Only if you get the 3.0 Duramax. The MPG with the 6.2 sucks and have to run Premium for best performance.

[@edgart49]

[@TREVORJB101]

Good looking truck but it's not enough to justify Raptor pricing.

[@ferretsmiles]

You must be on crack. this is thousands less than a raptor. MSRP is one thing but you can get zr2s under 70k while I struggle to find a raptor under 80k. Real world pricing this is closer in cost to a tremor than a raptor.

[@emptypocketsjobs3545]

[@kelviskelvis7140]

Good review covering the Silverado ZR2. My take from your review is that the Silverado ZR2 seems to be old school that will not hold its value long term. 14 MPG and $78k does not look like the better option the Chevy line offers. under the Silverado name plate. I am keeping an eye on the Silverado Trailboss EV, I figure that to be in the $80's k range and likely hold its value long term much better than any of the Silverado ICE offerings. I am willing to trade charging at home over night with premium fuel fill up at $5 a gal. I am going to sit this ZR2 ICE version out for now. Thank you for your Vlog review of the ZR2. I found it informative

[@adamtoshowbloodintheface7582]

No ev is a good long term choice, unless tour idea of long term is 6-8 years. Battery replacement IS an issue

Got an idea Chevy. Give the zr2 a wider stance compared to other Silverado’s. Like how Ford raptors are wider than other f-150’s.

[@davidporter7051]

Nope bad idea.

@@davidporter7051 how so? Would look better giving it a wider stance. Nothing crazy maybe 1 and a half inches wider

[@davidporter7051]

@@Monothiest247 because if someone wanted a truck with a wider stance there is a Raptor or TRX. The ZR2 is a Daily Driver with good off-road capability. Making it wider doesn't make it much better off road and degrades it as a daily driver.

[@Thoughtful8]

Nice truck but the gas mileage is terrible; remember you have to factor in the weight of that truck to so the gas mileage that their saying you can get in it is way less. But thank God their are some gas stations that sell gas that last longer than other and don't burn off quickly. Can this truck be used as a daily driver ; absolutely yes.

[@captainrawn]

What do you consider good enough gas mileage in a truck like this one that has 420 HP? I own a 2022 ZR2 and it regularly gets over 20 MPG when I just drive it normally. I'm thrilled with that. Really happy with this truck so far and have 22,000 on it. Drives and rides fantastic on or off road. Those DSSV shocks are amazing. This is the only new Chevy I have ever had in my life and I am pretty impressed with it. Have towed with it in the Rocky Mountains on a few occasions pulling my 25 foot trailer. When I scaled the two I was at 14,900 lbs GCWR which is 100 lbs less than the maximum. My remote camp site requires me to take it down about 5 miles of rough bush trails with 4 low and lockers engaged. It does it all without breaking a sweat. Gets between 9 and 11 mpg depending on wind conditions towing that 7500 lbs trailer. Nothing wrong with that.

[@rmac1828]
