I'm a ford man my self my favorite truck being the f 150 ( especially the king ranch ) Silverados aren't my cup of tea but not gonna lie this truck is hot
You make proud to be aChevy Owner. You have so much Class Chevy man. That why we wear the Bow Tie Ford man you also kept it so Classy. Appreciate the Compliment
I personally don't think they care about a super hardcore offroad truck I mean look at all the insane engineering they have done on there performance and race cars setting insane lap records and winning championships if they wanted a serious truck I'm sure they could do it... Also when it comes to trucks it isn't "cheapness" they used hard plastic because it is a truck it's made to work not carry champagne and wine glasses
@@paintbywolf8789 Nobody buys a 2 door version except fleet customers. 90% of these cars are sold as crew cabs with a short bed, and most people drive them without anything in the bed and no hauling, these are just statistical facts.
Good video and I agree with the "targeted audience" observation. I just bought a 2022 ZR2 with 15k miles and absolutely love it. My demographic is 62 years old, always a muscle and performance guy since I was a teen. I don't off-road but want the capability of a 4WD for weather conditions. My other car is a Corvette, so I've always liked GM. I guess, in short, it's a mature man's muscle truck that does everything I need or want it to do.
That ZR2 seems to be another missed opportunity (like the watered-down Blazer) from Chevy using the same cookie cutter 420/460 and not beefing it up to compete with the Raptor & TRX. Dope review as always though! 🔥
Yea, I work at a chevy dealer and these are a little disappointing. Pretty much just a trail boss with a offroad bumper. Nice but nothing compared to a trx or even a raptor
@@bradennarlock179 No, they *are* comparable to the raptor. It’s great for crawling and decent at Baja runnin, and still tows like a man’s truck. Yeah, they are a little disappointing as they didn’t put a stronger engine or bigger tires in it, but just wait for the ZR2 Bison Silverado that’s coming. I guarantee it’ll give us the ultimate off-road pickup
@@_Colt zr2 was never meant to compete with either of those trucks. The bison version is an extra package added to the zr2 doesn't mean it's gonna change it all up woth a wide body and a supercharger and 35s and all. I wish. But no it's not.
@@brandonmcfarland5200 that’s not practical and your gonna drive up the cost over 100k. I don’t get why people are obsessed with it. Even for the avg joe it’s not even affordable. Especially with this economy that we are in.
Pretty good review of this truck. I have this exact truck, color and all.....I'm a Ford guy and have owned mostly Fords my entire life, but when they wanted to charge me over MSRP for a Ranger Raptor, I started looking at the new Colorado ZR2. I placed an order for one in April that GM still has not picked up, so i have doubts that would have happened in the next year or more, but it made me start to look at the full size version, and start to compare it to the exact Trucks you mentioned. After owning this for a few months, I can say that I made the correct choice. This truck is more "Truck" than the Raptor and TRX for when you need to haul or tow something, and it's more "Offroad" than the Rebel or Tremor.....it really is right in the middle. I'll also say that I think it LOOKS much better than those other options as well. We will see how this truck works out over time, but if I don't have any major issues with it, I certainly made the right choice. I also believe that the camera system on this truck makes driving this in tighter areas a breeze.
I traded my 2020 Rebel for a New 2023 ZR2 last year and it was a big upgrade. I really like the truck. The best color for this truck, in my opinion, is sand dune metallic.
This video doesn't do it justice. You have to drive one, at speed, to understand why it's an amazing truck. It handles dunes and rock crawling as well (and sometimes better) as the other two trucks people feel the need to compare it to.
You are by far the best reviewer of autos and trucks, hands down. I just wish we could buy these rides without the ridiculous mark-ups dealers are charging. Price Gouging? I guess we just need to get used to our new normal.
Thank you for your support! I don't think the insane prices we're seeing at dealers will last forever. When parts shortages are remedied and supply normalizes, prices will come back down. Give it 1-2 years.
Picked up my Silverado ZR2 from Autonation 2 weeks ago not a single penny market adjustment they only charged me $249 for windows tint and wheel locks which I needed both lol
First! Hey 👋 ... It really is a nice truck but that kind of money i just can't convince myself i could spend on that vs something i could build from a lower platform and outperform off road.. Just my opinion
There's always going to be a way to go aftermarket and do similar or better tricks for less, but keep in mind that factory development is for long term performance. Aftermarket parts don't always play nice with factory setups - especially over time.
The ZR2 is not a Raptor, it’s better. It’s development span 3 racing seasons in hard desert running and retains all its truck capabilities and is a superior Rock Crawler to the Raptor. It will easily keep up with the Raptor at desert running, will never bottom out , and do everything else better than a raptor.
Swing and a miss for Chevy bit at least they have the Escalade v so didn’t fumble too much, I wonder how much slower this is than a high country 6.2, probably why they didn’t put 35’s from factory would have eaten up too much power. 4.5 0-60 try 3.7-3.9 In proper conditions 👍 stock
You did not spend much time on the fact that a ZR2, both Silverado and Colorado, have those important front and rear lockers. Some thing that the other do not have unless you put them on aftermarket. Nothing like being stuck with only two or three wheels trying to pull you out whilst one of the others just sit there and do nothing.
TRX, конечно хорош, но межсервисный интервал, расходники и затраты на обслуживание и топливо это большие расходы. Раптор- смущает двигатель 3.5 литра с двумя турбинами, какой ресурс? Форд с 3.5 л снимает 450-480 h/p. Нет запаса мощности.
The problem with GM, is they spent so much time worrying about the competition and didn’t focus on what they do best…MAKE GREAT ICONIC CARS AND TRUCKS (Bel-Air, Corvette, and Impala) I feel when they started to make “small cheap cars” it made them lose their focus. Fast forward to all the lack luster and problems with the cars and trucks now. I agree the Raptor and TRX are leaps and bounds. Maybe they will learn.

I'm not saying you're wrong but they sell like hotcakes and the dealerships have no problem selling these "junks" even at these ridiculous prices. People love them

As a Chevy guy for life, I have to say, it’s nice to see a ford guy still showing respect for the rival brand.
When a truck is hot, you gotta call out that the truck is hot, no matter the truck

I Love that King Ranch interior
I owned a 2007 Avalanche before and now I have a 21 Tahoe. I can say confidently that GM has significantly improved their cars.

Im gonna say that chevy did a great job on this truck!!
Splendid POV on 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2. I enjoyed the features highlighted and the offroad ride. Thanks, MPH!
It was a fun one to film - thanks Hector!
I detailed a Colorado ZR2 recently. I was impressed now how off-road ready this was.
That’s Chevy for you.

9:53 that was a nice old school gmc truck to the right. looked like it might had a 396 in it. 🤣🤣
love your videos !!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them
Badass truck but i wish it was wide body as trx and raptor
Wide body + supercharger would be 🔥

Love this truck!!

the trailboss has 32 inch tires not 31
chevy should have added a supercharger to this truck. I think that would have been an incentive for the chevy community to buy. Just my two sense.

All the monthly extra fees makes it worse than anything out there
Definitely a upgrade from the trail boss. But if your paying this much for a off-roading truck might a well pay a little bit more for a trx or raptor.

Not available.

this is junk!
capable or not, this truck is made cheap cheap cheap!
as a trail boss owner let me tell you, those trucks are junk!
if you think the ZR2 badge gives you super powers you are delusional.
same old GM trick, change the badge- charge 20k more!
same garbage underneath.
wait till you take this garbage off-road several times, and your truck squeaks like a broken wheelbarrow then youll understand how damm you are to spend 70k+ on this junk.
from computer management issues to main display issues to leafs issues, to door hinges issues, transmission valve cover issues, air condition problems, and more and more.....
even the amount of paint they put on them is as cheap as can be.
dont believe me? google how many people filing lawsuit against GM that their new Silverado paint is chipping off worse then a women nail polish. just cheap made truck.
inside the truck, besides the fancy screen, everything else is a carry on from the old Silverado trail boss, from the hard as rock seats, to the steering wheel, to the buttons to the cheap made interior plastic.
