The midsize truck market has seen a great amount of change over the last five years, as what used to be on the smaller side of things grew exponentially larger, and drivers began demanding more tech features along with a higher level of comfort inside the cabin. The Chevy Colorado has long been a favorite for those looking for a truck that isn't stretched out to XXL proportions, and the ZR2 offers up off-road-ready specifics that have forged their way into a very sizable and loyal following.
There remains the choice of either a diesel-powered 2.8-liter Duramax engine or an optional 3.6-liter gasoline V6, with a 6-speed automatic for the inline-four diesel and 8-speed for the V6. Front and rear locking differentials on top of a switchable 4-wheel drive system are a few of the traits that thoroughly prepare the ZR2 for the demands of the trail, as well as its 7000-lb towing rating. Just a short trip away from us here at West Chevy of Knoxville provides the amazing outdoor excursion to Windrock Park, offering more than 73,000 acres of challenging and versatile terrain to test your rig skills on.
For difficult destinations such as this the diesel would prove to be the best, and if sticking around where you'll be driving on more pavement the gas engine offers a great choice. Handling tricky corners with minimal roll and boasting a completely revised grille, the front fascia now boasts a look that you can't miss as it comes up on you into plain view. Well-chiseled and now hollowed-out to provide drastic improvement for airflow, there is an air of simplicity here that draws visual attention to the end of the truck that will be proceeding towards boulders and other hazards first.
The WT, LT, and Z71 models now feature updated center bars, skid plates, and lower fascias. Red tow hooks are now standard equipment, and you can choose from Bright Blue Metallic, Cherry Red Tintcoat, and Sand Dune Metallic for sand-running and fire-road ready new exterior colors. The LT model receives a new Chevy Infotainment 3 system with an 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen, Bluetooth audio streaming for 2 active devices, voice command pass-through to phone, and Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto capability. With an extremely maneuverable size and offering a very comfortable ride over most surfaces, the Edmunds auto review team praised the ZR2 for its consistently excellent fuel economy, and its ability to return an EPA rating of around 20 mph while exhibiting crushing performance off-road all day long.
Great features offered on base-level trims are another way that models like the Colorado provide an added luster: the standard features on the base WT include air conditioning, cloth upholstery, and vinyl floor covering, power windows, 7-inch infotainment, two USB ports, and a 6-speaker sound system. The LT adds all of these great options, plus a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, power-adjustable driver's seat, 8-inch touchscreen, and two additional USB ports.
