The ZR2 is what the trail boss should’ve been. And the ZR2 shoulda taken that and improved on it by adding 35’s, wide body, and adding a supercharged V8.
THIS!!!!
They could have used a C7 ZR1 engine and tuned it for a truck. Then it’d be a TRX competitor. Plus wide body and 35s.
Maybe they can offer a crate engine?
Maybe a LS?
Totally agree, but Chevy took too long and now it will never happen with these high gas prices and increase regulations.
Aftermarket will take care of all that real quick. I agree ☝🏼
Calling it the "flow tie" is the most innovative thing Chevy has come up with in years.
Lol
Way to copy the Abarth 500
One of the coolest names, as well.
@@bonzobonanza That's what I was alluding to... Lol
@@rickc303 they've been using it since 2014 on the Z/28
Fun fact: Chevy's build partner on this vehicle, Multimatic, is an extremely impressive company and built the RUF CTR3, the Ford GT, the Aston Martin One 77 and the Aston Martin Valkyrie.
Fun fact: The last vehicle one would ever associate with a RUF, Aston Velk'ry n'em is this GM badge n' sticker Silverado ½ Ton job. 🤌
And it's Canadian to eh!
Well yeah they also designed a bunch of European and Asian sedans and hatchbacks
@@Eric_In_SF I didn't know that! Which ones?
as unfortunate as it is, general motors knows exactly what they did when building this truck. this truck isn’t meant to steal buyers away from the raptor and trx. it’s built entirely for one market, the chevy dude who refuses to switch brands. this truck didn’t costs gm anything to design, it’s all just recycled. meant for a single buyer, not meant to be a truck worth buying
This truck will sell in the Midwest and the south for one reason. The 6.2l V8 drivetrain. Too bad it’s $10k overpriced.
And that would be me if I could afford it lol
ur scary how right u are sound >.
The thing is, they KNOW they are still competing just because its a competitor by default. The "Chevy dude who refuses to switch brands" idea is going to just make this truck fail in comparison. Its price is literally on par with the other off-roader trucks too.
It's kinda sad, but I'd bet you're right. My neighbor once said, "I'd rather push a Chevy than drive a Ford."
I feel like a lot of vehicles offered today (regardless of brand) are like filler songs in an album. You buy it because you like one thing about it, but there aren't a whole lot of other options that give you everything you actually love.
T^T
One quirk / feature I’d love to see is what the interiors look like at night - ambient lighting, etc. I drive a lot in the dark and it’s nice to have some interior soft lighting.
Buy a Mercedes then. This truck is ass
Yea the ambient lighting is sick on some vehicles. Hope he sees this comment
If you drive in the dark, you know that every interior light is just hurting your eyes ability to adjust and ruining your visibility. Only place ambient lighting makes sense is in marketing pictures
@@CortMarshal Try a car that has ambient lighting before making assumptions.
@@CortMarshal no it’s pretty handy. Helps you find change for tolls, cup holders, etc. I also like to know what the instrument cluster and map function looks like at night.
As part of a multi generation Chevy truck family, being a Chevy fan is like cheering for the sports team that always looses. You think Chevy would learn from the Blazer. Why would Chevy think this is going to compete with the Raptor or TRX? Less power, smaller tires, and looks about like a regular Silverado.
Long past time to jump ship hombre. GM is a sinking ship for anyone who actually likes vehicles.
I would never think GM would learn, there's no incentive as ong as they get tax payers cash from bailouts by leveraging their lobby group power
@@daniels2761 GM makes the product with the highest Doug score at the end of this video...
I sure hope they come out with one with a supercharged v8. Still love my lt trailboss
So they couldn’t at least get the hp the zl1 has? I’m confused
Here in Southern Wisconsin, brand loyalty still means a lot. There will be plenty of Chevy lovers in this area, and in the Midwest in general, who will plop down the bucks for the muscular ZR2.
My GMC was built in southern Wisconsin. I bet that GM plant meant a lot to the community back in the day.
@@jaake_ thank you for sharing!
It really sucks being a GM guy right now, GM is totally abandoning enthusiasts (a market they've been known for since inception). The electric stuff is nice, but no one can afford it or really wants it. Camaro is a great platform, has wonderful driving dynamics and actually, a well-speced one has a nice interior (better if not on par with Mustang which no one realizes because all you see are 1LT 2.0T cars). No one would know that though because they are do busy marketing the boring XT5 (which has 0 style and is not even close to a GLE or comparable German car). Don't even get me started on why the Traverse even still exists. Blazer should have been a Bronco, current Blazer should have been an equinox. The only GMs knocking it out of the park are C8 and full size SUVs ie. Escalade, Escalade V, Yukon, and Tahoe.The current Silverado update should have come out in 2019 when they got a redesign instead, we got a half assed interior that was both simultaneously uglier and lower quality than the previous one. 3 generation family and frankly none of their new products are resonating with me, suppose all the development money got dumped into Ultium.
It’s sucked being a gm guy since the mid 70s. Sure, the 3.8 and ls series had a good rn. But at least the new z06 is coming out. All you’ll have to do is pay 50% over whatever msrp is
Pretty much nailed it. I've owned three different generation Silverados, but lost all interest after 2019. Went to Ford and I honestly don't see myself going back. I feel that Ford listens to thier customers (mostly), and is innovative enough to take risks. Chevy gets uglier every year and late with innovative products.
I agree that did that with the previous generation Silverado front end too
Even though the marrow has said that the interior was a step up from the last generations and that's one of the main reasons the Tahoe and Suburbans have been praised Other than that you're right as hell
I feel your pain, especially with the blazer! That could've been so much cooler with not much effort
Chevy has just been missing the target lately... Little to no attention for the Camaro, a lackluster Blazer return, and the new Silverado ZR2. The LT4 is the perfect engine for this application, but apparently not.
If by lately, you mean for over a decade, yeah.
I had an 2013 chevy and it was a piece of shit. Literally had non stop mechanical issues from the dealer. I think Chevy is just being completely over looked by Cadillac and that essentially means you get half assed vehicles like this
@@conor7154 lol
Don't get me started on the Blazer and Trailblazer.
This is a solid take tbh
Wow It looks like…
Any other Silverado with black rims and big tires and bigger price tag.
It's got a front locker babyyy
I’d buy the ZR2 for its electronic locking front and rear axles over any of the other features. Off Roading lockers are a game changer.
This is why i think i will order one of these. No other truck does this at 70K. The only Raptor I could find near me was 78K + 10K over sticker. A Raptor is not worth $88,000
I like the look and the capabilities as a daily hauler than the Raptor or TRX. That'd be why I'd buy this truck.
The only way Chevy can be okay with producing this, is shooting for more of a Pro-4X / TRD Pro type customer and not a Raptor/TRX customer.
A Pro-4x Titan and TRD Pro both cost around $10k less than this though. Like Doug said, this thing is priced closer to the Raptor and TRX, but features wise competes a class down from that. The price on the ZR-2 is baffling.
Thing is chevy blends a lot more with the latter. People buying Tacomas or Tundras aren’t considering chevys
@@splewy funny, it’s priced closer to the TRX and the Raptor, yet I’d still go with a Pro4X or a TRD over this.
Very apt comment
F150 tremor
12 years later and this is the best Chevy can do, what a letdown. Doug is completely right about GM being asleep at the wheel.
Truth, Chevy just keeps missing especially the blazer and trailblazer
@@sir_booty_cakes so true
Yeah, it's insane how GM doesn't have anything against the F150 Raptor and RAM TRX.
@@FacuGonz3 the rapter and trx are toys
I honestly feel like GM has just given up. Their trucks haven't been competitive with the Ford F-Series for over a decade now and even Ram with their most recent redesign in 2019 really stepped up their game and make GM's trucks look like a joke by comparison. Its strange to watch a company as big as GM just not really try with their bread and butter product.
Mr Doug. I love your videos. Truly, I do. I’ve watched you for years.
But I just watched 6 ads within the first 4 minutes of this video. Hope that extra cheddar is going straight to you.
No worries though. Thanks for all you and Noodle do for us!
Got mine ordered! Can’t wait 💪🏻
The price is going to kill this truck. Having a front locker is amazing and its the only full size truck that has one. If the price was about 10k less like Doug said this truck could have some serious overland potential, especially if AEV gets involved like they did on the Colorado ZR2 Bison.
Doesn't the Ram Power Wagon also come with front and rear lockers to though? And I do agree that the price will be the demise of this truck. Its a 2/3rds Raptor at full Raptor price. People that are going to spend 70K - 90K on a lifestyle pickup will likely just get the Raptor or the TRX. I think the majority of this trucks sales will just go to the few die hard GM people that won't drive anything except a GM product but want something kind of close to a Raptor from the factory.
@UCdOTEyno61n9ygC65xj5n6g It does, when I say "full size" I am referring to 1500's.
Buy it used then, it wont hold value as good as the raptor
well considering that raptors will go over the sticker price due their high demand and the ZR2 probably under if sales are poor then it can quickly become a 10k difference and it will become much more tempting specialy for thoose v8 fans
@@BlackPointt The fact that the truck isn't desirable at msrp is its only real selling point?
Just remember, every trim level of 4x4 Ram 1500 has the same size tires as Chevy's "offroader." But it doesn't matter, these will sell like nuts because Full Size Truck people are insanely loyal to their brand, 90% of people who will buy this truck don't care how it compares to a raptor, they just care that it is a Chevy "offroad" truck.
Nope, the standard 18in wheel on Ram 1500's is a 32" tire. The 33's that they offer are only 33" because the wheels are 20"+ ...they are not good for offroading.
@@hecticphusion are most people offroading? Bigger trucks are for street presence
Yea, I’m a Chevy guy and I kinda want one. I can only imagine how good it looks in black.
Just because it doesn't have fucking 50,000,000,000,000 horsepower and a widebody doesn't mean it's not an off-roader. You're completely disillusioned.
@@tytheguy4923 oh look, an out of touch chevy guy who is proving my point
You mention the wide body look not being as cool, but I love the sleeker look and slight convenience you gain from the more standard shaped truck. Low profile but super capable, super cool!
If this truck had a wide body, another 2 inches of lift, 35’s, and an optional supercharged v8 with about 150 - 200HP more than the 6.2, it would be amazing!
You can do all those things yourself. You can also have pax power build you one.
@@portugeseking7959 exactly
V8 Twin turbo 1000+ HP should be the option
@@portugeseking7959 but if it was going to compete from the factory it needs some upgrades
They could do a ZR2 SS with a supercharged V8 with 650hp from the Camaro ZL1
If this truck sells well, I would not be surprised if the windfall money is reinvested in making something like what you're suggesting here. It would be the baha trophy truck that would effectively be a decent raptor and TRX fighter.
As long its priced competitively with the upcoming Raptor R and the Ram TRX then it could potentially make some sales.
They could but won't. They planned on the LT4, but canceled it. The CEO Mary Moron doesn't like trucks
@@nathanmcdonald610 it should be pieced in between. More than a Raptor, less than a TRX. If they make a ZR2 SS with a supercharged 6.2 V8, making 600-650hp, it should be right in the middle.
@@bradleymeyer9775 That probably won't happen though, lets be real, they are asking Raptor and TRX prices for the standard ZR2. If they put significantly improved powerplant in it they aren't going to sell it for the same price as the standard ZR2.

You're the hero we need, sir!
Can’t you find better time to spend on your hand like…..!
@Best 🅥 No...
I was honestly surprised the stock exhaust has such a nice V8 sound. Basically all Silverado/Sierra/Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon exhausts with this engine sound like vacuum cleaners from factory. Definitely better than the raptor in that sense.
Funfact, the bumper endcap is not just for replacement, you can remove them when RockCrawling and that allows you to attack large rocks with your wheel instead of your bumper
that tailgate impressive with the folding capabilities.. the handicap assist handle is also very innovative for assisting with climbing on and off the bed.. neat idea.
Until you realize you can't use the step if you have a trailer hitch, because it would bang into the hitch and leave a big dent in your tailgate. Only General Motors...
@@aksnowrida well ur opinion... But if there is a trailer mounted on the hitch it's basic common sense to not do what u say regarding the gate...
@@peoplesambassadordm8279 No, I'm not talking about having a trailer hooked up. Just the hitch. If you own a truck to use it as a truck chances are you leave your ball hitch in full time. The step drops down so close to the hitch that you literally can't use it with a hitch in place.
@@aksnowrida ✔️💪💯👌👌
@@aksnowrida if you give a shit about your truck you dont leave your ball MOUNT (not hitch) in
I find it somewhat amusing to see Doug reviewing cars that there is absolutely no way anyone will be able to actually get in 2022.
I have a buddy who owns one in Texas edition 3500 HD.. shy short from 100K.. he’s a GC tho..
Tech tubers and graphics cards are the same thing, but they are slowly coming in!
Well than why review the Ferrari Enzo? The F40? The Chiron? 99.99999999999999999% of people will never enter one of those and own it. So, why review it?
@@x-90 I didn't say don't review the car. I just find it amusing....
@@TheRealHungryJoe Whats a GC?
It’s amazing because even the TRD Pro Tundra has more power with the iForce Max. I’d go for that in a heartbeat
At that price point, I want the long travel suspension and wide bodywork that the Raptor has, even the base TRX is starting at around $75,000, and like the Raptor comes with the "Super Truck" Baja type hardware. This truck is just a warmed over Trail Boss. The reason why it's so expensive is that the Trail Boss has been priced so high and there was no way they could lower the price too much on this ZR2.
It’s basically a trail boss with the 6.2 in it and a 70k price tag
You could get a trail boss with the 6.2 until recently though.
@@damilolaakanni facts
The upgraded suspension is a huge difference maker as well. More important than the engine IMO.
It’s definitely different, chief.
Not even close. This is basically the same upgrades the raptor gets over the f150. The trail boss is a cosmetic package.
Suspension and the front locker are the major upgrades.
Zr2 = legit
9:25
One of the coolest, early luxury trucks, staring Doug down from behind lol
Finally I found a comment mentioning the Mark LT in the background
@@the_random9718Looks like a really nice example too. I'd love to own one of rarer models with the 6.5Ft bed.
Lol it’s a rebadged F150 lariat or whatever. Those Lincoln pickups were very rare. You definitely heard of the Blackwood don’t you?
My grandma still has a Mark LT, which is surprising since one time she literally drove it home on 3 wheels from an accident.
I hope Doug has a chance to review one someday. Although it might be a straight roast fest.
New sub here and I’ve watched so many repetitive reviews on the zr2, but yours is by far the most “normal” non boot licking and down to earth review I’ve seen so far.
Oh wow. That Marauder. Nice! After your Town Car review I was wondering if (or when) you were gonna get another Panther in there, and boy howdy am I glad you found a clean one to film!
I’ve always thought every Silverado has such small wheels compared to the side of the car, and I can never look past it
Bigger wheels don't often mean better , the tires are more expensive, the wheels are more expensive , also offroad tires wear out fast on the road where, to be honest , most people will use this truck
Cause of the shit fender design, these trucks even with 3 inch lifts can’t fit 35s without serious cutting
@@drunkpolack7612 it’s like having big muscles but size 5 feet
I think it's because the grille is so massive and the bed is tall. These do look disproportionate with the wheels and tires
This truck definitely appears to have skipped leg day, on more than one occasion...😆😆😆
If Chevy was serious they would loose the rear leaf springs and go with a linked system like Ford and Ram.
Leaf spring is not always bad to be honest
@@yuzeyang8847 Yes, leaf springs are good for off-road. But let's be real, 99% of owners will never take their truck off-road.
I agree, most people use trucks as daily drivers, not offeoad
Don't know what's your point, people buy zr2 for the off-road capability
They’re not forcing nobody to buy the truck go get whatever you like then
I love the grow!!! This thing is badass!!!!
The views after a day show peoples interest in this truck...Chevy needs to step it up. Great video Doug!!!
Chevy should come out with a Silverado Triceratops piercing the raptor and TRX 😅
That's hilarious, agreed!!!
LoL, that would probably help sell it. Plus I always was a Triceratops kid anyhow.
But it only eats plants 🌱
@@jonlosito2004 yes, the Triceratops only eats plants...but it will stab anything with it's horns, well then it should be an E85 fueled truck, LMFAO!
This’ll be a great used truck in 5 years if it depreciates much more than the raptor
Except Chevy owners don’t think chevy’s depreciate. Just look at Craigslist… they’re still asking 15-20k for 10 year old Colorado’s with 200k+ on the odometer. I just laugh and type in Nissan Frontier.
If living near the GM Assembly Plant showed me anything it's that this truck probably sat in a muddy field next to a bunch of other ones for months on end with no chips. Funny how GM will charge a absolute premium for vehicles that to them are perfectly fine being shoved in a cornfield straight from the factory and after months of sitting in they finally get to a dealer, just to get marked up 5-10k anyway lmao
What I took away from this - the refreshed GMC sierra and Chevy Silverado are nice trucks, at the right trim level and price
I've been here less than a minute and I want less Silverado and more Marauder!
Hell yeah I’d rather have one
Marauder!!!! Yes please
Nah
You sound poor
So Doug is going to review the Mercury Marauder... But can he also review the military Marauder that Richard Hammond reviewed on Top Gear? 😁
Looks like Cleetus' old Marauder
I could have sworn he reviewed one years ago. Maybe it was pre-Dougscore.
I'm so happy Doug finally mentioned a ZR2 S10 in a video.
I actually saw one of these on the road today and I was actually curious why someone would buy it. I agree when you say the Raptor, over the past 10 years has made a name for itself. When you think of an off road pickup, you think Raptor, not even TRX (not yet at least)
I just don’t understand why GM seems so hesitant to build a strong Raptor competitor, or an off road vehicle in general, honestly. They’ve missed the mark several times with the Silverado, they really missed it with the Blazer and Trail Blazer. That demand clearly exists, they’re just scared to get on board.
the epitome of corporate slow moving mindset
Everytime I hear or see how gm misses the bar with new releases, it makes me feel like they aren't interested in the ice vehicle market. The fact that their combustion vehicles have, in general, been very tone deaf recently really solidifies to me how much effort they are putting into the electric market. Now they just need to show us what they've been doing for the last 10 years.
Edit: I see you guys commenting that the hummer and silverado evs are underwhelming. Just because you don't like what they are doing, doesn't mean they aren't putting in effort there. My point is that, they have obviously shifted from investing in ice vehicles to focus on EVs
effort into EVs? They're failing there too.
The Hummer EV is kind of cool, not going to lie and I say this is a die hard Ford man. But I was wholly unimpressed with the Silverado EV they debuted, it looks like an oversized Honda Ridgeline with Chevy badges.
@@jamesengland7461 hummer ev and ford lightning.
But Ford is beating them to the punch in EVs tho. The F-150 Lightning will be on the road soon but the Silverado EV is at least 1-2 years out.
I mean they have the corvette and that’s the only good car they have. Idk why people never heard of the corvette. The C8 Z06 is already a masterpiece if you tell me
What are the odds they come out with an actual competitor to Ram and Raptor. Call it the ZR2-SS. That would make too much sense. They’ll never do it.
They don't need to, they'll have a waiting list for these just because of brand loyalty, and every Chevy bro will argue with anyone who will give them the time of day that it is better than a Raptor or TRX
And they're so late. People who want a truck like that are probably happy with their TRX/Raptor
They would need more than an engine upgrade. This truck isn't in the same class as the Raptor or TRX.
@Dimetri777 I'm not saying they wouldn't, but at least they have a leg to stand on. This thing is a joke compared to a Raptor or TRX
For that price tag I’m pretty sure I’d go for the Raptor instead, simply cause of the beefcake look. The ZR2 Silverado is neat but doesn’t exactly stand out from the rest of the Silverado pack. I’m curious if they corrected that lifter problem that was plaguing these GM engines.
They did fix it for the 2021 and up models.
@@hamkurun2382 supposedly but my step mother's lifters went out on cylinder 6 in her 2021 trailboss.
@@AUSSIEGARAGE_YT Hmm, maybe 2022's and up then haha.
The Active Fuel Management(AFM) is an option on some models, the lifter issue is still there but have been updated, as a GM tech working at GMC and Chevrolet I haven’t really had and ZR2s come in other than maintenance and recalls for the DRL which is Just a BCM update which takes 15-20min to do
I love a heads up display that displays very much information
Definitely a shame, Chevy took a loss in the off road suv segment with the Blazer not competing against the the Jeep or Bronco and again here in this segment losing to the Raptor and TRX.
I mean their sports cars are good. I love the corvette but tbh Camaro isn’t good at all. Mustangs way better for days
@@drippgxd yeah I give them credit for the corvette and camaro but both Ford and Chrysler have excelled their too with the Mustang and Challenger/Charger, so Chevy is leaving money on the table by not competing to their fullest potential
You hit the nail on the head, Chevy needs a turnaround, the only cars they excel in are the new Corvette and the Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade Family in my opinion… although their regular trucks are getting better, especially with the latest update, but come on GM we need a REAL raptor competitor! Then an update to the Camero, and the a real off-roader like a Jeep Wrangler… then I could be proud of my brand…
It even loses to the newer Tundra TRD Pro cuz the Tundra has much better features that are functional than this
Glad to see a Mercury Marauder review coming soon.
What I thought
tailgate technology has come so far. 3 points of contact with a step to get in the back. what a time to be alive
One major selling point for the ZR2 over the Raptor/TRX…. It’s a Dad-truck for dads that do more dadding than off-roading, or posing as non-dad off roaders. So I love you can use the GD thing as a practical freakin truck and go camping or whatever as well without worry. Being able to comfortably use the (full size) bed for mulch or bikes or appliances or whatever is really a huge selling point. Probably fits in most garages too; which is nice ;)
Hopefully they're making an actual raptor/TRX competitor with the supercharged 6.2 that's in the CT5-V/Escalade-V, with a wider body and more aggressive wheels and tires along with it, it would actually make a really cool truck
They aren't. Mary Barra killed it.
It’s not gonna happen unfortunately.. they refuse
That was the idea. This is the result... Lol
It would sell like hotcakes!!!
They do in Australia!
Once again, GM completely misses the mark when it comes to off road vehicles
GM has a habit of missing the mark on things, I wonder if it's the board and accounts interfering with engineering.
You mean vehicles
No this isn’t a raptor and TRX competitor. This is a tundra trd pro competitor. The hummer EV is the GM’s response to those trucks.
The Colorado Bison was good.
@@bsg1372 most likely
Okay after watching his cars and bids ad standing in front of a crown vic...is Doug finally gonna review a crown vic??? I'm SO EXCITED
That's actually a Mercury Marauder, not a Ford Crown Vic.
I know it's a Marauder because of its distinctive wheels.
14:02 Not Doug using the word "Period" in his review. Yess Doug 😅😅😅😅 I really like the shifter of this truck. It looks cool 🔥🔥🔥
People will definitely boost these trucks.
Not a lot. They made the 6.2 extremely hard to program. The 6.2L in that truck has been in the Silverados and sierras since 2019 and hardly anyone has modded them.
@@T3CHK1NG54 well sell the 6.2 and swap in a engine you can boost 😉
Love the truck content!
Looking forward to that marauder video. Own a grand Marquis myself and always wanted one
Trail Boss is a cool and unique name. They should have introduced the ZR2 to replace the trail boss, and overhauled the trail Boss to be a more serious raptor competitor
I couldn't think of a single reason to buy this over my LT Trail Boss, that I purchased for 47k in 2020. 70k is completely insane.
Interior
I've always wanted Doug to review a Marauder.... super excited for the upcoming video.
The intro has the best car of all time (in my opinion). Merc Marauder!!!!! YESSSS
Welcome back to my algorithm Doug
Based on the specs (HP, torque, ground clearance, tires, etc.), this almost competes more with the F150 Tremor...except the Tremor starts at $20k less than the ZR2...
Build a Tremor with all the options and it is around 68-70K. I'm having a hard time deciding between this and the Tremor and Ram Rebel which are all around 68-70 K loaded. The Chevy ZR2 is the only one that comes with a front locking diff
@@benjaminfarr2586 ford go ford that’s what I did I got the tremor
@@turtletube I was going to order one until my dealership said it would be 6 months or more and maybe I'd have to wait for a 2023

Finally an interior from the 21st century. Pricing is whack though, lots of better options out there.
Name a better truck 🛻 with better features for similar price or cheaper
The back door is impressive. Another wonder on 4 wheels parked at Publixs ;) Thanks for video.
I can't be the only one who wants a video on that Mitsuoka you showed in the cars and bids ad.
This truck appears to be a rival to the F150 Tremor and the Ram Warlock and Rebel... however with that pricetag, its a disappointment... I have a Ram Warlock that I am paying a total of $59xxx, fully loaded.. youd be silly to buy the Silverado
Well and really, they already had that competitor in the Trail Boss, it was there to compete with the Rebel and Tremor. This should be trying to compete with the Raptor and the TRX. Isn't the Warlock just the old RAM?
I'd take a F150 Tremor over this any day, especially considering the pricing haha. It seems the positioned as TRX/Raptor competitor but missed the mark
@@Wark_91L yea, it seems Chev have just done a Trail Boss Pt2..
The Warlock is a 4th gen Ram, with Rebel cosmetics and a similar off-road package to the Trail Boss... I chose Warlock because I prefer last gen ram design over this one
Chevy made an off road truck for the city, which is what 80%-90% of Raptor and TRX drivers do, you see them clean on the freeways, targets and walmarts. The only downside is the price, should be $10000 less like Doug mentions
We keep them clean because we like our trucks to look good and last. Why would I want to sling mud and rocks off my truck on the highway? That's an idiotic take.
They should come with performance street tires
The only people who think these never go off-road are people who never go off-road themselves. There are a million idiots out there breaking their sh!t thinking their stock Raptor is a rock crawler.
I feel like a monster version of this truck is yet to come. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
13:02 you all know for a fact that Doug was drooling over that Lincoln Mark, and he probably went over and talked to the guy.
Good review as always....But going forward you tell us everything in detail, Except audio quality..this has always been one of my most important buying decisions, since the end of DIY double DiN stereo upgrade..
I would check out Savagegeese on CZcams if this is important to you. He includes audio engineer reviews on the sounds systems of most of the vehicles he tests.
@@splewy yes the geese are great...I just find it odd that Doug, goes into such great detail, but doesn't mention a feature so important to so many.
@@dswallrich Yeah I feel like to give any meaningful review of an audio system, you have to go into professional measuring and technical detail like Savagegeese does. Just saying “it sounds good” is useless. Doug is definitely a casual reviewer though, not a technical one. His reviews are shallowly researched, he frequently gets technical details wrong and his “Doug scores” don’t actually make much sense. Of course that’s not necessarily bad. Doug’s stuff is still entertaining. But if you want more technical reviews, you’re gonna have to look elsewhere.
Still waiting for you to get your hands on the Cadillac lyric Doug
It’s not on sale yet
I love how people click some of his videos and He saying “this” and then keep saying it over the whole Time and when he uploads one
Doug, can you please give an extra 0.5s for your "THIS" opener? It's iconic, I love to hear it, and CZcams often clips it when starting to play the video
Doug is the type of guy who shows a score of 59 and calls it 60
I havent finished the video yet. Does that mean the Trail Boss isn't a thing anymore?
It is, just not top trim
The reason this truck appealed to me is the front and rear locker. I just want nice truck thats comfortable on the highway that can slow roll up the steep muddy hill on my 100 acres and wont get stuck. Raptors around me are 90k where the zr2 is around 75K. Also i park a lot in the city and the raptor is wider. Im still undecided. Heck I would be perfectly happy with my 2018 rebel if it had lockers ...been stuck too many times.
You forgot about the Chevy Tracker ZR2. Also very excited for the Marauder review. Been waiting for years
I don’t think this was made to directly compete with the Raptor and TRX. This ZR2 stands as a middle ground. It has off-roading goodies yet can still be used for truck stuff. It maintains a payload of 1,500 lbs and can tow almost 9,000 lbs. The Raptor on the other hand only has a payload of 1,000 lbs and can tow only around 7,000 lbs. I feel the ZR2 is the all around better deal.
Maybe, if it had middle ground price tag
@@youSupaflyy Some people might see this as a better deal than a raptor as it can do both work and off-roading. Just a different perspective.
If Chevy wanted to go against Raptor and TRX,the smart thing to do would have been to resurrect the AVALANCHE and put these features on it...plus the name sounds cooler.
I'm 100% agree with Doug
You can get a silverado trail boss for less money and looks identical to this one
I'm a Chevy fan but the raptor looks awesome and for the same money no way
The coolest thing about that multifunction tailgate is the Bluetooth stereo system that can be installed in it.
For most actual offroading in narrower trails and not mall crawling, not having the wide body is an advantage (especially here in colorado). This truck is setup more for crawling / overlanding and not baja racing. At 70k, it is basically fully loaded where as the Raptor and TRX would be at least 10-30k more when equipped similarly. I just wish it had the diesel as an option.
Looking at the interiors they certainly feel 10k-30k away from Ford and Dodge. Glad the Chevy fan girls can finally have their trophy truck tho 😂
@@spacebound1969 you mean the performance pages on the trx that take 30 seconds to load? Such quality, much wow.
@@JattAnmoli Certainly better than the Chevys engine at least, you'll be lucky to get 30 seconds of runtime out of that motor. 😂
@@spacebound1969 your hemi comes with hemi tick 😂😂
@@JattAnmoli Funny you assume I own a Dodge product 😎
Drinking game idea: Take a shot every time Doug says "rock crawling" on this truck that will never crawl over rocks.
The truth is these “off-road” full sized pickup trucks really aren’t good off-road. They are just too big.
Gonna crawl over them curbs in the mall parking lot like a boss tho
I never understood these full sized offroad trucks because they make so many compromises like towing and payload, MPG, handling on road, etc. When they are not really good at offroading and now are not nearly as good on road where they will be used most. I think they are more of a status symbol because you would be way better off saving 20-30k and buying a side by side and a trailer.
@@Nick-sx6jm You got one thing right... you just don't understand. 😉👍
Doug, we love you Doug
Don't forget that cars and bids was also the first auction site entrusted to list a Rivian r1t anywhere in the nation. Take that bring a trailer!
3:04 Chevy pun?
22:06. Thats the difference between a v8 and a v6. Raptor missed hugely by not offering v8 until the raptor r that will be 110k and probably 150k after markups.
That's really the one and only area the ZR2 outshines the Raptor is that the ZR2 sounds better when you drive spiritedly, but the Raptors performance is still better across the board. I do wish Ford had offered the 5.0L Coyote V8 as an option in the regular Raptors. The Raptor R will likely cost a boatload more money just for its exotic engine alone but then you add dealer markups like they are doing these days and it'll cost as much as an entry level supercar.
Ever drive a Raptor? let me know how you like it because the performance is insane.
@@joelk9182 No doubt the raptor is much better truck. But this truck is intriguing because its like a gen 1 raptor but with a nice interior. I love gen 1s with 6.2s.
I'm seeing it a lot in the comments, and I have to agree, that Chevrolet really came up short here.
I have a 2018 Colorado ZR2 with the diesel and love it. I was really hoping the Silverado would similarly offer GM's 3.0 diesel as an option.
I been watching Doug's CZcams page for about 2 years now and still never checked out Cars and Bids 😂😂😂
shame on you
@@vladvulcan how dare he be proud of that... Cars & Bids is where the shit's at
Dang, I love Chevy but they missed the opportunity to call it the "Chevy Silverado Meteor"
More like space turd.
I doubt Chevy is cool enough for that.
This trucks biggest disadvantage is the badge on the front of it.
@Jimmy Two Times Easy there buddy. Just a joke about Chevy sucking.
I love my Colorado ZR2. This looks supper similar in spec. I know theres an off-road arms race with these trucks but I’m betting this will be the most live-able of the three.
Not true at all… raptor is better on gas, better handling, a lot more on road comfort, and more capable sadly.
My brother has a friend who is a avid fisherman and he had been pulling his bass boat with a Chevy with a 6.2. He needed a new truck and went with the Ford with the boosted V6 that had better power numbers than his Chevy had. The problem is that when he pulled his boat the Ford got between 5 to 10 mpg worse than the Chevy did and it seemed to struggle to pull his boat where the Chevy acted like it wasn't pulling anything. I think that this is where the boosted V6s are aren't going to match up to an old school V8.
ZR2 is more like a Tremor than a Raptor.
Unfortunately it's priced like a Raptor. About $70k without dealer markups.
They should call it a Tremble
I cant lie, I still love it. Being an automotive engineer, I still dont trust the ecoboost engines. Chevy V8s are tried and true (relatively) and it's much cheaper than the TRX.
Lifter failure class action lawsuits want to speak to you
@@benvester3340 Name me a car brand that has never had faults................. I'll wait...............
@@QBDLettuce I'll be waiting for those Toyota dudes to shout Toyota ten million times, and bring up their 4Runners' reliability and its four billion miles.
@@QBDLettuce I'm not talking about every other car brand. Dude said Chevy V8 is tried and true...which is far from the truth now, that GM over complicated a once tried and true pushrod V8 to get 1 mpg better in a fictional EPA test that no one replicates in the real world.. So stupid of them.
“Very large , provides very much information”.
Doug can say that and make it correct 😂
Oo Mercury Marauder review coming!!?! I love those things
