GM Authority Features 2020 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison Live Photo Gallery

It was 3 years ago now that the Colorado ZR2 AEV Concept was shown for the first time to the public at SEMA, where the response was overwhelmingly positive. This makes perfect sense to all of us here at West Chevy of Knoxville since it is truly a rig that can be taken to the harshest of extremes and not even feel a ding. With built-in collaboration derived from expert aftermarket off-road manufacturer AEV, the 2020 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison is loaded to the gills with protective equipment and other features that make it the optimum choice for tackling the roughest of outdoors.

The well-versed folks on staff at GM Authority cranked out a great feature last week that took a close-up look at ZR2 Bison through a live photo gallery shown here. Up front the fun begins with an exclusive “flow-through” grille bar stamped with Chevy lettering. Below the grille resides a custom AEV front bumper, while fog lamps exclusive to the model are situated at the bumper's outer edges. The 2020 ZR2 Bison is also available with an AEV air snorkel, keeping the sensitive bits of the engine free of massive dust particles during less than optimum conditions.

There's a two-inch lift, yielding upwards of 8.6 inches of suspension travel in the front, and 10 inches of suspension travel in the rear. When you are dealing with off-road situations, every single little impact and rut in the road affects your ride, and lurching around endlessly can make for a tough trip through the outback or woods. Multimatic integrated spool-valve dampers work overtime on the Bison to keep extra shaking and movement under control, and AEV 17-inch wheels are bestowed with the rolling duty of keeping this capable and crank-daddied rock climber afloat just wherever it wants to trawl.

The power is gleaned heftily from the naturally aspirated 3.6-Liter LGZ V6 engine, which churns out 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, while paired to the GM MST 8-speed automatic transmission. You can also opt for a ZR2 Bison with the 2.8-Liter LW 4-cylinder diesel, which doles out 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque while pairing to the GM MYB 6-speed automatic transmission. No matter which color you pick, you’re going to love it on your ZR2: the selections are Red Hot, Satin Steel Metallic, Silver Ice Metallic, Summit White, and what is probably our favorite: jet Black. You can choose from the Extended Cab/Long Box configuration, and the Crew Cab/Short Box configuration to get what suits you, and we guarantee you won’t be disappointed: If you are planning on going where streams flow bountiful and obstacles are plentiful, there is really no better and well-equipped detour around what STANDS in your way aside from the Bison!
