- Chevy and AEV are really cooking up something special. Taking the already capable Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and adding AEV's enhancements for off-road capability introduces the world to this 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison.
With best-in-class approach, departure, and breakover angles, and best-in-class ground clearance, I am salivating at the chance to get one of these to myself on my home testing grounds of Barnwell Mountain.
ALL-NEW FOR 2024!
- Made in partnership with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), the all-
new 2024 Colorado ZR2 Bison is America's ultimate off-road beast
- Built to conquer any terrain, the Bison is loaded with AEV off-road enhancements to enable even higher levels of performance and extreme capability
- The Bison is the most off-road-capable midsize truck, offering unrivaled off-road performance without compromising ride quality, handling or safety

I would pick the regular ZR2 cause it would drive me nuts with that giant spare tire blocking most of my rear view!
You could take it out…
@@GTGarageTalk but then you wouldn't have a spare, and you would be a fool not to have one.
Same
I just bought a Bison, I hear the spare can fit underneath and will check that out, regardless I’m getting a hard tonneau cover so if it doesn’t fit under the truck in the stock location I will just lay it flat in the bed.
These new 2024 vehicle reviews are keeping you hopping. I am enjoying each and every single one. Wish I could get invited to a major auto show. Thanks again, Cory.
More Detroit videos to come
😉
You forgot to mention the hydraulic bump stops on the Bison which are not on the standard ZR2
I love garage talk than politic talk. Good job guy’s.❤
I am kind liking the look and capabilities of the colorado zr2. However, with yet more issues surfacing it really makes me leary getting this truck in the hopes there wont be more issues. Im just not sure.
Check if the battery isn't dead🤣
The Bison not worth it in my opinion. Just buy the ZR2 and get bigger tires and call it a day !
👍🏼
Needs a bump in horsepower.
Otherwise this truck is badass.
We just sampled the engine in the GMC Canyon, it’s a stout powertrain.
you need a engine with the power rating of 350 HP
"need"?
I believe the engine is having problems already
It’s been around in the Silverado for a few years
@@GTGarageTalk True. Im really interest in the truck idk. Gonna wait till they fix the issues
No issues with engine at all pooh.been in Silverado and Sierra since 2019
@xijinpooh8534 there's no issue's with the engine. The issue's they've been having is dead battery. So i guess their working on a fix for that but besides that do far it's been pretty good from what i hear.
@@chriskolaska897 I think the fellas at TFL had the same issue. Hopefully they fix the issue. Really looking forward to this truck
What's the price difference? I'd pay extra for the Bison IF they don't price it into Ranger Raptor territory since it DOESN'T have an engine upgrade. If it's too much, I'll just get a lift and larger fender flares and fenderwell to clear 35's, and skidplates for the gas tanks and rear diff.
You can fit 315 70 r17 on a 2023 ZR2 with a leveling 1in kit.
@@briankec1352 Good to know, thanks! Don't really want a leveling kit, because the rear SHOULD ride higher for load and towing reasons, but if I can get away with just a 1" or 2" max lift, and fit 35's on it. That's as big as I want to go. I'm not into building my daily driver into a dedicated rock crawler, I just would like a little more clearance and I definitely want skidplates to protect the tank and rear diff. What I might do is get cheap steel wheels and more "road-y" tires for driving to work (beetter MPG, longer lasting, and cheaper) and then just swap them out when I want to get dirty. Thanks again!
@@kx8960I'm thinking it's gonna be priced in the 60's range since the ZR2 is like what 54 or 55k.
@@chriskolaska897 Yeah, I keep waiting for them to give firm numbers, but... What they should do is offer some of the parts. All I want is the lift and fender flares/wells that allow legit 35's, and a skidplate for the tank and diff, that's it. Don't need the extra jounce absorbers/shocks.
@kx8960 yea i feel you man then really just get the trail boss or ZR2 then just order the skid plates. That'll definitely be cheaper than buying the bison.
The back seat is horrible for storage and room for passengers.
I would take a 6' bed extra cab instead.
Driving a Canyon AT4 at the moment and can confirm.
They're not made for luxury rides they're made for off road. It goes with all mid size vehicles even the Jeep Rubicons are limited space but really who cares.
Dude I'm 6'1 and my buddy bought the 23 WT and i gotta say man the back seats really not bad and that' with his seat back almost all the way and i felt fine back there.
The grill looks too plasticky
is it because it is shiny?
@@GTGarageTalk I think that’s what it is…don’t get me wrong, I love the truck. Just not too sure on the aesthetics of the grille. But that’s just subjective.
Horrible review. Learn the trucks you are reviewing. If you want to sell it, know what you are selling.

They're ALL automatics. Unacceptable. Way to excuse the enthusiast buyer GM!
Practically all are. Sign of the times. Even the 6-speed manual in the upcoming Tacoma is very limited in its availability across the lineup.
