Introducing the Chevy Colorado ZR2!


Chevrolet continues to innovate and revolutionize the midsize pick up segment, most recently with the launch of the Chevy Colorado ZR2. The high-performance, Chevy Colorado will launch this spring, with a starting price of $40,995 MSRP! We think this midsize pick up will be perfect for all the Knoxville area off-roading adventures.

“ZR2 is truly a segment of one and does everything well — from traversing heavy two-track trails to high-speed desert running and full-on rock crawling. We’re thrilled to be able to offer it for more than $2,500 less than the next closest comparable vehicles. Taken in the context of serious off-roading, $2,000 will buy you 50 years of annual passes to Arches National Park in Moab, Utah,” said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director.

The 2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2 will come standard with a few key features that makes this a true off-roading midsize pickup. These key features include modified front and rear bumper for better off-road obstacle clearance, transfer case shield, aggressive grille and hood combo unique to ZR2, modified rear axle 3.42 ratio, front and rear tracks widened 3.5 inches over the standard Colorado, suspension lifted 2 inches over a standard Colorado, off-road mode technology and more!

Other standard features include:

  • Tow/haul mode

  • Integrated trailer brake controller
  • Spray-on bedliner
