The ZR2 trim is Chevy's top off-road focused version for their trucks. The refreshed mid-sized Colorado gets this treatment bringing more capable 33" tires, suspension lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers, skid plates, more aggressive bodywork and more! We have spent time with all the regular trims of the Colorado and also taken the platform sibling GMC Canyon AT4X off-roading, so this time we spent some time living with the 2023 Colorado ZR2 as a regular day-to-day truck to see what it is like in the real world!

Words that should never be spoken "that big turbo 4 cylinder" 🤣
-
Something most people don't mention are the cooled seats. As most mid sized trucks don't have them and in the South it's a great option to have.
-
I own a 2024 Colorado Z71 and I've been very impressed with it so far.
-
I've got a 2021 ZR2 Dusk Edition...still absolutely love it 4 years later. I prefer the V6.
-
I am 6’2 and still growing and this has been my dream truck so knowing that you are 6’3 and sit very comfortably in the zr2 makes me really happy so thank you, I’m dropping a sub
-
Just realized where I've seen you before...your Parker's buddy. Great review thx.
-
I opted for the Colorado ZR2 Bison package and I'm very satisfied. It builds on everything from the ZR2 and adds steel bumpers, capability to add a winch, really beefy tow points and of course even more life than the ZR2 in order to support 35" tires. It's also fun to drive no matter where I am going.

Backseat is perfect for a lunch box or maybe a backpack. It is indeed though, the absolute COOLEST LOOKING truck on the market, hands down. If I was single, would be nice to have. Sat in one over Christmas, being 6'3" 230 lbs and in a huge jacket (was below 0) was a bit tight for me.
-
If i were getting a truck in this size this would be it.
-
The engine break in is approx. 3k - 5k miles for full power output so RELAXXXXXXXXXXXX .
-
Nice review. After driving the ZR2, I don’t disagree about the lack of powertrain “specialness” in comparison to the Raptor. However, it also lacks the ~$5k in price premium that the Raptor commands. Interesting how the mpg ratings in April 2024 are now 17/17/17, not the 16/16/16 you showed.
-
I wish they kept the desert boss for 2024. I really liked the safari bumper and sports rails. It’s a shame I probably won’t be able to get my hands on a brand new 2023 desert boss when I’m ready to buy a truck next year.
-
I would like the seats to say ZR2 and also dual exhaust . I don't like the light controls being on the radio. If your radio goes out for whatever reason, do your lights not work???
-
Love the color!
-
I like the basic LT models extended bed
-
The Chevy service tech told me it’s not good to drive it around town in 4 wheel auto mode like your doing, I allways make sure my new Colorado Trail Boss is in two wheel drive! I don’t know if it’s true but he did tell me that!
-
Do you think it's good for a daily driver on long commutes? I'm doing 50 miles 1 way, and 5'10"
-
My 2024 trail boss has the same screen as that zr2 for the speedo and rpm.
-
great review! The powertrain is the only reason why I am taking a pass and not ordering this! Hope they change their mind in the next couple of years
-
Nice looking truck! The 2.7L may not be as inspiring as a raptor or upcoming TRD Pro but if it proves to be a durable engine then I think it's great that GM gives us the same offroad cred at $5-10k less than the competition.
