We love that you both got this opportunity! Thank you for sharing the trail name in text! Nice touch 🤌 I love that you keep it real and compare dints. Great video!
A long time ago I commented that you should be at 100k subs. You are getting there!! Keep up the great vids and that is on the horizon. Love the Bison content of course, and looking forward to more.
Thanks guys, really shows off the new Bison and what makes it the most capable mid size truck out there. I can’t wait to run into you somewhere on the trail. Let me know when you’re in the Idaho panhandle, I’ll be in my ‘21 extended cab gray Bison diesel.
i owned a 2019 colorado zr2 diesel and absolutely loved it. I regret selling it every day. I am torn between the new Colorado Zr2 Bison and the 2500 ZR2 Bison.
That suspension with the hydraulic bump stops was unlike anything I've driven before. The faster we went, the more we just floated over dips. You could hear them impacting with a metallic click sound... but you couldn't feel it.
Great review! First time watching the channel and really liked the video. Was wondering what chase lights on rear bumper you currently have on your bizon. I have a 2019 colorado bison and was interested in some chase lights
Thanks! Here’s a video all about the Bison lighting: Off-Road Lights DONE RIGHT! (Baja Designs LED in a Chevy Colorado ZR2) th-cam.com/video/MWaxtRA1lho/w-d-xo.html
Love it! Great Video! So tempted to buy one after driving it but just don’t think I can give up my 21 Diesel ZR2. Fuel mileage is phenomenal and just paid $3.04 gal for diesel where I live
Good to know why they install the "all windows down" button I had no idea , wait until the screen goes blank other than the software they are making nice trucks
The zr 2 bison in the southeast are selling for msrp prices in the 62,000.00 to 64,500.00 price range. Just found one discounted to 60,900.00 but I have to drive 2.5 hours to buy it if I decide to do so.
This truck is a step in the right direction as far as stock offroad vehicles in my book but my biggest gripe is the pay payload. If you have 2 200 lbs dudes in there then you've only got 600lbs left to play with. If you have a hard shell mount that's 200-300 lbs less. You can't really configure an ultimate overland rig with this truck even though it is building towards it.
@ivaniuk123, I know it seems payload is low, but…..it’s already armored. Buy a regular truck and load it down with bumpers and skid plates and you are quickly at the same numbers. It’s just how it is.
Great truck and review! Can’t wait for the markups on these when they arrive at dealerships 😂. How was it driving on the highway? Comfortable? Tire noise and wind noise?
Honestly, it was great on highway. We drove it for about an hour on road before hitting the desert. The Bison is a bit heavier than the standard ZR2, and it feels it. A little less pep in the acceleration, but not bad by any means. We tested the back to back, so we could tell, but otherwise I think people will be very happy with the Bisons on-road performance. And surprisingly quiet! Thanks for watching!
No regear, 35s, heavier armor and only 1000 lbs payload. I wonder how this truck is gonna do if you add a camper like GFC (on the light side) or Alu Cabin (on the heavier side). Wonder if that 4 cylinder is going to struggle like my 4Runner with just a roof tent 😅. Do you guys think this truck will make a good adventure build? I’m kind of disappointed they couldn’t figure out how to mount that spare time better. Sure you can get an aftermarket swing gate but that’ll just make the back camera useless. No doubt it’s capable but the payload sacrifice is a little too much.
@@whocaresjustdoit I hear ya. For reference the payload is nearly identical to the last Gen Bison. I have a CBI Rack and GFC RTT and it handles it with no issues, but I definitely chose a lighter build with that in mind. The new engines higher HP/Torque will definitely help driveability over last Gen. Of course it remains to be seen how an Overland build setup will stress these turbo 4 cylinders. There is a great engineer interview about these engines specifically out on TH-cam, I wish I could remember who did it, but they talked about how they built it off of the learnings they gathered from the diesel engine and made it very robust. I truly hope that's the case. It's a great watch if you can find it.
You guys are all amazing. I've never been to an event like that before. And credit to Chevy for letting us test stuff by bashing it into rocks. I was nervously trying to not damage anything!
They actually aren’t. Just different programming with the transmission. I’m curious if regearing will be a common modification now that they’re out. When we drove it didn’t feel slow but the gas mileage was pretty poor.
Ranger raptors are more of a high speed desert runner and Bisons are more for off road adventures and rocky roads. They are both purpose built machines. It depends what you want it for - although the ranger has way more horsepower for sure!
Let's see how good your ranger raptor goes in the Appalachian mountains in eastern tn,eastern ky,southwest virginia,western nc and north Georgia. Bet you it would not outperform these zr2 bison trucks climbing the steeper mountain terrain.
@@harolddenton6031 obviously not. They are purpose built for 2 different purposes. Like, let’s see your bison run the Baja 1000! And the fact that bison couldn’t even come close to my 2006 wrangler Rubi with front and rear lockers, built axles, and atlas transfer case.

Amazing! Congrats for making to this new vehicle event! Super informative, funny and high quality content. Wish to see you guys do more of these
Thanks! Wouldn’t mind covering Toyotas too! They need to invite us both. 🤩
Probably in a few years this will be next truck i love every single thing about!
Guys, this looks incredible!! Holy crap that new Bison looks great! 💪
The new body style on the 23-24 looks amazing!!
Fantastic video as always! That new Bison looks killer! Glad you guys got to do this and bring us this great content!
Great video! It looked like a really awesome time and that new Colorado bison is very impressive.
We love that you both got this opportunity! Thank you for sharing the trail name in text! Nice touch 🤌
I love that you keep it real and compare dints. Great video!
We like to own our dorky mistakes with pride! 😆
bison is a must. thank you for the intro..
Sweet video! Can’t wait until I can get my hands on one in person 🤩
A long time ago I commented that you should be at 100k subs. You are getting there!! Keep up the great vids and that is on the horizon. Love the Bison content of course, and looking forward to more.
Baby steps.
The spare tire should be put behind the tailgate, so that a tonneau cover could be installed.
So happy to see you guys participating of that event. Very cool.
Thanks! It was a top 5 TH-cam experience for sure.
Great video, I watched the TFL truck video from this event and your quality and editing is superior. Great job!
Thanks Julian! Appreciate it man.
Great, now I want one a 2024 after being content with my 2020 Bison for the past 3 years! Great video as always!
X2!

Appreciate you man! Happy trails to ya and definitely hope to meet you out there someday!
And an extended cab Bison? 🤤🤤
OUTSTANDING GUYS! GREAT REVIEW AND HIGHLY ENJOYABLE TO WATCH (AS ALWAYS)!
Thanks so much man! We put a lot of heart and soul into this one... and I was editing till 2:15 AM to get it out the same time as all the others.
I wish the Bisons could tow the full 6,000lbs. That’s why I like my Z71 and am slowly saving to get all the Bison mods.
FYI… if you add all the Bison parts, you should treat it as such and not tow all the way up to 6,000 lbs.
@@JasonExplainsThings oh ok. Thanks.
Awesome video thanks for sharing. Good to see Chris also.
Thanks for always checking out the videos! This was a fun one to make!
Aww thanks! 😂

Loved your driving and review guys.
Thanks Steve!
Do you have anymore videos on the 2024 Colorado 24' ZR2 besides the brief section you had in this video
TU
Not yet. Hopefully more in the future.
Awesome video!! Can't wait to see the full size bison truck video.
It’s up!
love your video. It certainly pushed me closer to buying this truck.
Great review and great colorado's
Congratulations to you guys. Definitely more experiences like this are in your future. Been following since you bought your Colorado ZR2 🦬.
Thanks for hanging out with us, appreciate you!
TRD Pro guys punching the air
I love my Tacoma... but yes. The TRD Pro package is not nearly as appealing to me as the Bison package. You get some pretty insane (and usable) stuff.
That suspension with the hydraulic bump stops was unlike anything I've driven before. The faster we went, the more we just floated over dips. You could hear them impacting with a metallic click sound... but you couldn't feel it.
@@JasonExplainsThings I bought the regular zr2 and now I’m regretting my purchase lol the bison is a different level

Dude. I would stick with your diesel as long as possible! Such a great truck... and amazing mileage. Drive it into the ground!
Good to know why they install the "all windows down" button I had no idea , wait until the screen goes blank other than the software they are making nice trucks
Badass off-road machine!
It really is, super impressive.
Price is crazy! Its in full size range, dont go out on weekends and try to break my truck so just 4 wheel drive is all I need
Nothing wrong with keeping it simple.
What a fun field trip!!!
Agreed!
I told Chris I did not like the front end and I stand by that. But otherwise, looks awesome 😍
My gripe is more with the rear bumper. No chase lights and the tube guard is gone. But overall that truck was extremely impressive.
Love your videos so much they are amazing!!!
Bison is a $11.7K package on top of the ZR2. Damn
Yep!

Chevy crushed it with gen 3 Colorado. Could not be more satisfied with my '23 ZR2...well, maybe for a Bison!
I wish mine had a sunroof!
Wonder how strong the cab is since it doesn’t have a roll cage at all if it were to get rolled
Bring on the Hd video! Great seeing you guys again.
It's coming! What a wild truck.

That truck looks dope
I'm a little jelly about your trip. Looks like you guys a ton of fun. I kind of want the new Bison now :)
Excellent
At bison is the exact same one I have, sweet truck
Have they fixed the throttle issues in the newer Colorados?
Not aware of this, but definitely didn't have any throttle issues with this guy. 😅 @1:12
Thank you for recognizing god on social media much needed. Also here for bison content
You got it John. Without Him I wouldn't be here. This channel wouldn't exist. Just giving credit where credit is due.
GOD is always spelled with a Capital ‘G’
AMEN!!! GOD IS GREAT!!!
@@JasonExplainsThingsBe sure to thank God first!!! Great vid!!!
Dudes! I wish I knew that you were out there. I was one of the techs out there.
What?! Awesome, well done, it was an amazing time.
I was the guy in the long sleeves and green sun hat. I was watching over the HD route coming down the hill in the blue 1500 AEV Silverado@@PNW_Bison
You guys are all amazing. I've never been to an event like that before. And credit to Chevy for letting us test stuff by bashing it into rocks. I was nervously trying to not damage anything!
"Don't break it! Don't break it! You want to be invited back!" :-)
@@JasonExplainsThings I was nervous too but we didn't havent fix much at all. The took a hell of a beating.
Give us a 400hp v6 or v8 with over 500hp.
Very little talk about the engine and since I fast forward lots of this did, they even open up the hood.
What is the secret story about why you should not be there!😊
I'm waiting to talk about it until I have time to make a good video on that subject.
Why are you blurring the camera? I know what it is.
There’s something on it I don’t want you to see. 😬
the new zr2 bisons will be regeared for 35's ?
They actually aren’t. Just different programming with the transmission. I’m curious if regearing will be a common modification now that they’re out. When we drove it didn’t feel slow but the gas mileage was pretty poor.
How much do you want to bet Jason trades in the Tacoma for a ZR2 Bison??!!??!!!???
Would be a definite upgrade for sure..even with the new Tacoma..Bison all day long.
🤷♂
@@JasonExplainsThings You know you want one! Don't hide it from us!
Why would you lose resale value like that? That's like divorcing a good woman for a stripper.
Sad 😢 my 2016 Colorado Z71 doesn’t have that easy opening tail gate storage @14:00
Too bad you can find one to buy.
They’ll be released Spring 2024.
@@JasonExplainsThings I seriously doubt it. 23’s are way behind on delivery dates, you can’t get some parts for the 18-22’s and the UAW is on strike.
The UAW strikes will sadly affect production rollout timing. I home a good resolution is reached.
One of my regional dealers has about 7 zr2 bison setting on their 2 local dealership lots at this time in mid June of 2024.
Pretty good but I would take a Ranger raptor first every time
I would love to do a head to head comparison! 🤔
Ranger raptors are more of a high speed desert runner and Bisons are more for off road adventures and rocky roads. They are both purpose built machines. It depends what you want it for - although the ranger has way more horsepower for sure!
Of course, more bearded rich old white guys....fascinating stuff
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm rich?! Sweet!
Chose the raptor instead.
Ain’t got shit on the ranger raptor!!! $58k!
