2021 Chevy Colorado ZR2's Stance and Design “Perfect in a Segment Primed For a Renaissance”

One of our favorite websites committed to reporting all current events car and truck-related was right on point last week as they stated: “When the time comes to haul around the dirt for the fall garden clean-up, we all want killer trucks in our driveways.” As the leaves begin to fall this month and temperatures begin their gradual drop, at West Chevy of Knoxville we realize that many suburban dwellers will want to relish a perfect pickup situated in their driveway. The owner of this title shall have room to store, be easy to navigate and park, and boast a hefty amount of convenience features currently available. 

The Colorado ZR2 pickup was ranked by the writers on staff at Wheels.Ca as the “Gold Standard” for the potential mid-sized trucks are poised and ready to deliver, and that many happy owners rely on every day. The ZR2's standard engine is the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, which cranks out 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. The ZR2 offers off-road features many have come to expect: such as a suspension lift, Autotrac transfer case, cast-iron control arms, or front and rear locking differentials. 

The Multimatic dampers are a key addition that also makes the ZR2 so much better than average, having the ability to travel from the hardest-to-navigate trail to easily gliding down the interstate. Maximum towing rating as 7,700 lbs, and as you “strive for the mountaintop” you can put to use up to four USB ports, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charger, and 8-inch infotainment screen. Proudly manufactured at the GM Wentzville,  Missouri plant, the 2021 model features a revised front fascia, the addition of three exterior colors, and is offered in the Extended Cab with Long Box as well as Crew Cab with Short Box variants. 

All Colorados get a brand new tailgate featuring embossed Chevy lettering, similar to what is found on the Silverado 1500 and Silverado 2500 HD. The grille is now wider, with Chevy Lettering in the cutout to allow for more precious airflow. One of our favorite hues is the “Sand Dune Metallic” that looks better the more dust it plows through valiantly while navigating the perils of off-road excitement. Staking its claim as a Motortrend comparison test winner, it's a pretty safe bet that after you load up everything you'll feel ready to approach any slope or runoff with ease. 

One of the Colorado ZR2's best features is its turbo-diesel powertrain, assuring that this is the most impressive off-road model in our lineup. 6 airbags, climate control, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and HD / Satellite radio and rear camera are other features that keep you comfortable and engaged while getting ready to conquer anything the vast wilderness offers up. Skid plates, rocker protection, heavy-duty lights, and a sport bar are a few other goodies that the ZR2 has up its sleeve to offer the best weekend in the wild anyone could ask for!
