I have been on you tube since 2007 I have seen growth I have seen failure. You guys have grown into such an excellent channel. From an car/ truck enthusiast always looking at auto reviews you guys always deliver in a genuine honest way. It is much appreciated.

[@hollywood21639]

Just bought a Zr2 yesterday. I've been wanting one since it was announced. Waited 5 months for delivery and wound up buying one off the lot about 200 miles away. I bought it for the new interior and new blue color, the blue is amazing. I had a 21 Trail boss 6.2 for 18 months and 26k with no issues.

Yes, seats are important! My 2016 Colorado does NOT have good seats. After about 2-3 hours, my butt is hurting. I wasn't planning to do it; but, I added seat covers (Wet Okole) to add some additional padding to the seat which did help.

Hummer EV is coming to the TFL fleet. I'm sure they "accidentally" leaked that info already. Reviewing vehicles that start in the 6 figures is kind of a waste of time.

Well, I have a feeling that you guys will be going for a Raptor R, but I'd personally love to see a long term (3 month at least) F-150 Tremor. I feel like you guys didn't fully take advantage of the review truck when you had it. I'd also love to see an HD truck at some point.

[@Mang213]

Everyone complaining about the ZR2, as usual. Its not Raptor or a TRX and it wasn't designed to be. If you pay attention, the new Colorado has addressed basically all the off reading shortcomings that you guys are bitching about such as larger wheel well openings for larger tires, different rear shock mount locations underneath to increase clearance (watch the promo videos and you'll notice), and significant increases in ride height. Don't you guys think this is going to trickle over to the Silverado and Tahoe? Of course it will, on the next update. Chill out with the constant complaining, the trucks available these days are pretty damn impressive

I never had any real interest in this truck. To be honest, I will probably never buy a truck that is anywhere near as expensive as this truck.

The problem with the ZR2 is that it has the wrong engine. It should have an LT4. Or at least offer it with the “Bison” I do love the seats and suspension in the ZR2, but opted to go with a loaded Trail Boss with the Duramax instead.

Curious how much of a financial hit they take everytime they sell so quickly? Vehicles typically depreciate up to 20% once you drive off the lot. I’m sure they’ve gotten lucky with some sells like trx.

[@denisleblanc4506]

As long as they don't get a Tremor V8 or a Raptor R. The Tremor is essentially Siverado ZR2 and the Raptor R is essentially a TRX or Raptor with more power. I hope they look at an electric vehicle, or any of the new midsize trucks as long as they have a different engine. Its gotten to the point where we can pretty much predict how the usual barrage of tests go here so unless its something different it tends to get boring. Everyone saw what the TRX did and the Raptor R will be pretty much the same. Everyone saw what the Silverado ZR2 did so the Tremor V8 will essentially be the same. The F150 hybrid and the Lightning were very interesting and different even if it was painful to watch Roman complain every time he has to charge an electric vehicle. By now we all know the trails and tribulations of electric charging and its time to move on. Even the Bronco Raptor doesn't really fit well with their usual tests and though it would get reasonable viewing numbers, its not going to surprise anyone. My hope is that it will be some surprise hybrid or EV. I know many of the expected vehicle aren't in production yet but they may have access to pre-production ones. I like it when some surprises are revealed. For instance, the hybrid Maverick gets amazing gas milage and can easily beat the EPA rating, but did you know the milage falls drastically when its really hot? I didn't know that. I knew about cold weather but didn't think it would have that much of an effect in hot weather. I was surprised that switching to an AT tire on an EV truck didn't affect the range as much as expected. It affected my FJ Cruiser more and you just have to look at what it does the EPA rating for some specialized off-road pickups. Remember the RAM Rebel or the Colorado ZR2? Right now it would be nice to see how manufacturers will respond to the ridiculous gas prices. We are certainly reaching a point where milage is the most important criteria as well as price. I know the manufacturers like the high profit loaded models but the Maverick has shown that a good vehicle at a reasonable price can also sell well.

[@jminaya90]

They have somes leaks… hummer ev

[@LandParkColby]

I really wish GM (Chevy) would get their act together - this ZR2 is another example of good ideas, but compromised engineering/build. The shocks placement is one, the design of the hood with the funky large plastic cover, the suspension design (basically just a simple lift), the exhaust system (great sound and effective - but the view underneath it is very close to things that should not get too hot) and finally have you ever looked at the placement of critical electrical and brake lines (instead of hidden behind the axle, or well inside the frame high away from stuff - like Ram, Toyota and Ford - they are on top or in front of just looking for a rock or limb to snag and cause more trouble) the GM solution is keep in the same place and cover with plastic cladding ... I mean RAM and Ford have TRX and Raptor and both are really competent and capable - Jeep and Ford have "Jeep" and Bronco, again competent and capable. I truly wonder if GM even pays attention to this end of the truck market? They have nothing competitive to offer ...

[@garysarratt1]

I agree with most of your analysis, not all though. I’ve noticed since GM started making their off-road capable trucks, they sell a lot “appearance package” Z71 vehicles that are inflated for wannabes to buy to look cool. Just some badging and whatnot. So I think they would be tempted to compromise actual off-road capabilities to straddle the market; folks who are serious will load up on aftermarket solutions anyhow. If they built the best off-road truck possible, they couldn’t sell but a hadozen. They’ve clearly conceded the power war to Ram and Ford, along with the “best” interior and accessories. What’s left is reliability, and they have much better numbers than Ram and Ford (well, the hd anyhow). Their overall sales numbers are better than the other 2 so far this year, so it’s working for them. You’ve seen the comments on here over the years, no vehicle makes everybody happy, actual perfection wouldn’t satisfy people (too expensive AND needs all these other things, and 90% of us wouldn’t buy it anyhow).
