Just bought one yesterday after tina saw this one. She was with me when I made this video. Asked to check this truck out. Loved it. Wanted a different color. I hunted it down, made the deal and we drove it home yesterday

These guys were really cool at this dealership and many asked for me to send them the video. I did. Got 2 text back saying how they learned new stuff watching it
Love that color on the ZR2 and really like the stance on it, sharp looking truck. Jason, you have found your next truck when it's time to retire the Gladiator. 😅 I'm still loving my 24 Frontier Pro 4X 😊

Hey Jason I’m in the market for a new truck but I’m still a little unsure about what to get. I’m looking for a truck that will last me 10 years and from my research and your videos it seems like the frontier is the best one to get me there while maintaining its off road capabilities and competitive price. I was wondering if there was a way to contact you to pick your brain a little more on this as it would be super helpful. Thank you for all the great videos you put out, always looking forward to each one.
Going to be trading my. Jeep Gladiator in , so far the GMC canyon AT4 is what I’m looking forward to getting. But also Trail Boss as an option. I love the ZR2 but my problem is it is too high for my Garage ☹️ but hey keeping my options open.
This is the truck for me, ZR2 in Radiant Red TintCoat, it don’t get no better than that for the money, I like the ZR2 Bison but it is just too much money.
Jason, beautiful truck….but, in my opinion it will not hold up to the abuse you would put it through. But if you got one it would be interesting to see. I’d stay with the Gladdy!
@Jason-Samko 20:26 GVWR is 6250 lbs making it a Class 2A Vehicle(6001-8500 lbs). This makes it a half ton, the same as the 1500s, F150, Ridgeline, Ranger Raptor, Gladiator Rubicon, etc.
there isn't one. You have to step up to the AT4X which is a tarted up ZR2 Bison. The Denali is just a gaudy version of the Z71. I wish the AT4 had a ZR2 non-bison package option with the front and rear locker. They've deliberately laddered their models between the two versions. Want more features than a Trail Boss? your step up is the ATX, because the Z71 doesn't have the lift from the Trail Boss but the AT4 does. If you want more off road capable truck you slide to the ZR2, get the lockers and upgraded suspensions.
If you need a truck with a 6ft bed. You don’t need anything a ZR2 or a Trailboss is built for. Its not a fair shake to say that. There is olenty of other trucks with a 6 ft bed made for the use of a 6ft bed. They are not Competing with the Trailboss, ZR2, or AT4X. Most people who need a 6ft bed have other options. If you don’t need a 6ft, and 5ft will do you have even more options. The prices also reflect that.
No it doesn’t these are grocery getters and occasionally off roaders not a utility market demands changed because you are less than 5% who need a long bed
As early as 2026, all new vehicles will be mandated to have "advanced DUI detection" tech. GM has already been successfully sued for selling telemetry data to insurance companies. California passed a law requiring passive speed limiters starting in 2029 with 100% compliance by 2032. Anyways... I almost bought the ZR2. A lot to love. But from a tech perspective, it's essentially a "sealed" truck. You can't modify it at all. The government will be able to shut down your truck
The way things are going in the world as of today may not have to be wanting a new truck. I need new brakes, shocks, sway bar links. The stealership wants 7K total to replace all they listed. I just LOL’d. Sway bar links 565 wut???? I can do that myself for under a hundred. Shocks 1700???? are they insane?
You mean the 53k frontier pro4x that's equivalent to the colorado trailboss? Don't get me wrong, frontier is great truck. But it sure isn't a zr2 if you offroad
Trail Boss doesn't even have fog lights....No thanks. For what that truck costs and it doesn't come stock with fog lights(?!!) Ridiculous. An off-road oriented truck with no fog lights. Again, RIDICULOUS.
Toyota has engine blowing up and transmissions failing as well as other issue with the new tacoma and tundras. Going to take them a few years to work out the issues to have a reliable tacoma again. I definitely wouldn't buy toyota right now.

Bought tina a zr2 yesterday. But I do agree if I ever take it over i will have to tone down the abuse a bit with it. But it sure is a wicked truck!!
That hood is looking pretty beefy on the ZR2! Chicks dig the bulge.
