If Chevrolet didn’t convince you the new ZR2 Colorado is a performance-bred, offroading beast, this video presentation just might do the trick.
At the Los Angeles Auto Show, the American automaker released a halo model for its Colorado line-up, capable of tackling rough terrain thanks to a plethora of upgrades and enhancements.
Although the ZR2 is based on the standard car, it features a new, lifted Multimatic’s DSSV suspension setup, a wider track, 17×8 inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 31-inch Goodyear Duratrac off-road tires, and steel-tube rocker protectors – just to name a few.
In charge of making the truck a capable offloading machine, is the advanced four-wheel-drive system that can offer nine driving configurations; everything from pure RWD to 4WD with locked transfer case and front and rear differentials.
Powering the model is a 308 hp and 275 lb-ft (372 Nm) of torque 3.6-litre V6, or a Duramax diesel delivering 181 hp and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque.
Chevrolet says the Colorado ZR2 is trail-ready right off the bat, and there’s no reason not to believe them.
