  • It goes without saying that the ZR2 flavored Chevrolet Colorado will pass our hill test with flying colors. Check out our 2023 Colorado Trail Boss Review for proof.
    For the ZR2 we decided to head out to Eagles Canyon Raceway for our favorite dirt test course to properly test out the DSSV Suspension.

    5000 miles into mine. Good truck. Wish the rear was multilink but over than that very capable and always looking to adventure.
    Found out it's governed at 98mph

    I found in Baja mode when you really get on the gas the performance shift mode automatically engages and it is a lot of fun. It keeps the RPMs in the sweet spot and you can get the rear end loose constantly. Not sure if it wasn't working in this review or what but it changes high speed running tremendously.

    Congrats on the video! I already have 1,000 miles on mine, I agree with everything you said! At first had many software issues but it has been getting better, i live in Mexico and here we already have the Ranger Raptor for more than a Year, i waited for 6 months and when ZR2 was released here i decided for it because of wait times and extra comfort besides being $13,000 USD Cheaper in Mexico, only one version for each. I believe im one of the few people that already have tried both trucks, i could safely say the Raptor is in a different category, i honestly think its a better vehicle, In Mexico we have less features for the Raptor vs the upcoming USA made. I still have some regrets on my ZR2 but ita growing on me, if the Raptor didnt exist it would be the perfect truck.

    • @harolddenton6031
      @harolddenton6031 Před měsícem

      I originally wanted the ranger raptor but decided it was not worth 59 grand plus dealers absurd 10 grand markup. So after adding Tennessee sales tax of 9.75% the ranger raptor would have been an almost $75 grand.
      So I decided just to buy a 2024 Colorado zr2 for 50,700.00 plus 9.75% tn sales tax. So ended up buying the truck for about 56 grand.

      I have a 4runner, and honestly all the talk about the new Tacoma has had me looking closer at this truck, and it seems like a bargain in comparison. A front locker and big tires stock is awesome. Time will tell about the reliability, though you could say that about the new Taco drivetrain as well.

      It is very capable midsized truck. Drove my 2024 zr2 truck last weekend in the mountains by hot springs,nc on logging roads and down one narrower forestry road easily crossing stream on 3 occasions. Could give a damn about having a loud obnoxious 8 cylinder engine. That sound does not makwbtgevtruck more capable driving on logging roads. Give me this Colorado zr2 with its multi matic dssv suspension to smooth out the rough terrain on logging roads.

    Stupid traction control! I really hate when manufacturers leave, their "influence." In the traction control "algorithm". Not letting you completely shut it off. In your own vehicle, is complete bogus! Cutting the power when you need it! Totally ruins the "capability" of the truck. I have even gotten stuck because of it. Start pulling fuses, and hammer down!

      I guess you’re not aware of law suits? I guess if they built it like wish list you have would get them sued after awhile for someone dying for not letting them do everything they’re doing no and making it safer for the customers. Without those and someone dies because they didn’t have it… out of business

    • @titussardonicus338
      @titussardonicus338 Před 3 měsíci

      ​@TheTruth23rd I'm pretty sure that's false. Traction control is relatively new. I think there was actually a market demand for traction control, from people who thought they wanted an offload vehicle, but don't actually know how to drive.
