I just test drove the Colorado RZ2, the Colorado ZR2 BISON and the GMC Canyon AT4X . The BISON was my least favorite but it looks awesome and for pure off-road it would be my first choice . The ZR2 is easily the best deal and I cannot imagine someone not liking or even loving it. I ended up with the Canyon AT4X( desert sand metallic) . The interior of the canyon AT4X is really next level..... When I first started truck shopping I thought I would end up with a Tacoma. I previously looked at the Tacoma but I found it too cramped ( I am 6 feet and 215 lbs), plus it is crazy expensive for what you get( or maybe I should say for what you don't get). Toyota is going to have to drop the price of those things if they want to compete. ..My legs really feel locked in in the Tacoma. It kinda made me feel claustrophobic . The Colorado and canyon felt like I could move around in it more. They just felt much more comfortable plus you also get so much more for your money( at least imo). The ZR2 is a crazy good deal for what you get compared to anything else out there.
For skid plates kits and bumper with winch mount, check out Victory 4x4. They got the whole skit setup a.d a really nicely built and good looking metal bumper with a hidden winch mount and recovery points.
@@alwaysdifferent not sure about that, but seen their install vid on the skids and fitment looks so clean. It's fits completely flat and looks to have the entire undercarriage very well protected. A bit on the expensive side, but may be worth it to you to protect your investment.
Dam good looking brother! The Colorado and Canyon are the best looking trucks on the road. I had a Gladiator for four years with 35s and 2” lift but had to trade for F150 to start pulling a toy hauler. Loved my Gladiator but will get a Colorado when we are done camping. Yes the ZR2 is definitely worth it!
Such an awesome truck! It’s weird I get waves only from zr2 drivers and I drive a z71 🤔 doesn’t matter but I like the love from the Colorado community ✌️
South of indy, been to badlands with mine few times and the quads pulling trailer. Black zr2 level up kit. Straight love mine. Just crested 5k miles. Love that truck with that wheel n tire combo.
Any desire for the Bison? I’m tempted but I feel like I’m ultimately ending up with a slower vehicle, losing an MPG, and I’m not doing hardcore rock climbing or anything. Just trails and water and mud.
the bison is really the same truck , but it has a few goodies with it 33s vs 35s my truck doesn't have skid plates vs the bison dose. mine had just a plastic front bumper vs the bison has a steal front bumper that is winch ready.. other then a few small things I don't think its worth the money unless you get a good deal on it. it has the same gears, same motor, same power, same trans. inside is the same but maybe a the word bison on it. dose have a bison sticker on the side of it. but that just my option
Love the update!! As stated above, Victory4X4 for your underbody protection and front bumper. You need to come down to Texas so we can do some wheelin'!
Was looking at a 2020 ZR2 Bison, they wanted 57k for it. I really wanted to get it, but they couldn’t budge on the price. Ended up buying a 2019 4runner that had a 3” King lift with adjustable reservoirs, SCS brushed copper wheels and 275/70r17 BFG KO 2s.
That's a nice rig. I got a fully loaded Red ZR2 for myself in Canada. 2 hrs before my scheduled pickup time sales guy calls and says. Sorry when we put the Vin number in the trucks on a stop sale order. 😮. Has a daytime running light recall daytime running lights required in Canada. Best part is. Right bow there is No current software fix. People have been wating 36 days in Canada so far to get their new trucks. No estimate of how long its going to take GM to push the software update for this. I was sooo pissed seeing my new truck sitting there. All pollished up with my new plates. All ready to go. But they can't release it 😂.... Fml. GM needs to hurry up and get this done. Hopefully they get this done soon. I want my truck even worse now lmao.
I like those ditch/aux lights. I’m thinking of just tapping into the OEM fogs, since I don’t use them. Basically disconnect the fogs & instead have aux lights like yours that are controlled from the touch screen. Truck looks good. 👍🏻 Have 4K miles on my Sand Dune Metallic & running 35s.
hack ya , some dates may change but that was just a ruff idea. I'm about 6ish hours north of LBL. im always down to hit the trails if i can make it work !!
@@alwaysdifferent I’m 3.5 hrs north of LBL so I can make it pretty easy as long as work does not get on the way. If you end up doing it, keep me posted. I definitely need to go and test my new bumper there 😂
Do you still have the ZR2 wheels and tires, I’ll buy them, I want them for my Colorado Trail Boss,,,I’ll be selling my Colorado Trail Boss wheels and tires , I bought my truck last July 3 I only have 2900 miles on it!
That trokita is one of best looking ones I've seen in my entire life, Raptors look nice but this one looks nicer.
The new ranger raptor looks like an old man truck. This ZR2 is fire
Having witnessed this truck in action, I vote WORTH IT! 🤘🤘
🫡🫶🏼
@@alwaysdifferent 🤜🤛
That thumbnail is the coolest picture I’ve seen of a Chevy Colorado🤙
One of my favorite pictures of the truck lol

I can’t agree any more with you ! I would like to go test drive the Tacoma just. To see how it feels.
Come to Western NC and let's do Hurrican Trail and a few of the other routes!

Ya, I seen their skid plates , I know they’re like a parent or sister company to JCR they make some pretty nice stuff

Truck is looking great. I'm getting there on mileage, around 8,500 currently. Absolutely love my ZR2.

Hack ya ! I loved my gladiator, I had a Mojave on 38s with 5.13 gears. I miss a few things With the gladiator. But I love my zr2
Such an awesome truck! It’s weird I get waves only from zr2 drivers and I drive a z71 🤔 doesn’t matter but I like the love from the Colorado community ✌️
I don’t even see any of the new gen’s on the road by me ! I thought for sure I would start seeing At lest the z71 or the trailboss

Yeah your truck would highly benefit from the AEV Bison . I wanna say you can put all or most components from those build.
Love the update!! As stated above, Victory4X4 for your underbody protection and front bumper. You need to come down to Texas so we can do some wheelin'!
give me some dates, I can try to work get some things worked around !
Have a 2020 zr2 diesel been thinking of upgrading to a 2024 zr2! Truck looks great! 👌🏽
Idk. I’ll keep the diesel. lol that is a great motor

Chevy won me over with this style. Unfortunately, the GMC canyon was less expensive and went with that instead.
nothing wrong with the canyon !! how are you liking it ?
@@alwaysdifferent Im loving it. It comes lifted, nice wheels and tires, spray in beliner and tow package. More than I'll ever need.
Looks so aggressive. You have a fantastic truck. Love the Colorado.!
thank you ! i love my truck !!!

Haha oh man !! That would be the worst most looking at it and knowing it’s yours and you can’t have it lol ! I’m sorry buddy !
Oh man ! That would be the worst knowing your truck is just looking at you And you can’t have it!
Lookin good brother.
I like those ditch/aux lights. I’m thinking of just tapping into the OEM fogs, since I don’t use them. Basically disconnect the fogs & instead have aux lights like yours that are controlled from the touch screen.
Truck looks good. 👍🏻 Have 4K miles on my Sand Dune Metallic & running 35s.
that's not a bad idea just using the OEM fog lights! I love the sand dune color that is the color I had on order at first until this one pop up on me
Nice review I just put a order in for a 2024 zr2 in blue now I need 2 wait 4 to 6 months
Nice ! Ya that just sucks for the wait time tho !
Love your truck set up, looking good! I may join you in the land between the lakes, I live close by and would love to see your truck wheeling!

Have you thought about installing the JB4 tuner? Or something like that??
I did shot them an email I’ve been eyeing them up
Pick up mine in black tomorrow!
Hack ya !!!!!
I love this thing.
@1791precision You and me both ! It is such a great vehicle
Do you still have the ZR2 wheels and tires, I’ll buy them, I want them for my Colorado Trail Boss,,,I’ll be selling my Colorado Trail Boss wheels and tires , I bought my truck last July 3 I only have 2900 miles on it!
nice!! how are you liking the TB? but i did sell the rims and tires off of my ZR2
Its not whp though. Thats crank horsepower man.

Damn !!!! 275k !! Still running strong 💪!
@@alwaysdifferent yep, the I5 is a good motor, I'm gonna run it until the wheels fall off!
