The result was the addition of a Bose audio system ($500), the Colorado's upgraded 8-inch touchscreen interface with navigation ($495), all-weather floor mats ($190), a dealer-installed keyless entry keypad ($155) and a black Chevy bowtie emblem ($155). Since the diesel is a unique option in the segment, we decided it was worth the extra $3,500.Īfter that, we were open to any options that trucks in our area might have. There are two engines available: a standard 3.6-liter V6 and a turbocharged 2.8-liter, diesel-powered four-cylinder. It comes with a shorter bed, so the overall wheelbase is the same. With that in mind, we figured it was worth seeing what the ZR2 brings to the segment by adding one to our long-term test fleet.Īlthough the ZR2 is available as an extended cab with a regular-size bed, we opted for the more popular crew-cab body style. And then there's the upcoming Ford Ranger, which will likely come in a similar "Raptor-lite" version. Toyota upped its game with the TRD Pro version of its Tacoma. The new ZR2 isn't without competition, however. The Colorado ZR2 has a raised suspension with special dampers, bigger all-terrain tires, fender flares, special bodywork for improved approach and departure angles, and an electronically locking rear differential.
It's a dedicated off-road version of the standard Colorado that takes its capabilities to a whole new level.Ĭhevrolet actually had a ZR2 version of the S10 truck back in the 1990s, but even that wasn't as extreme as this new pickup. That willingness to try new things led to the development of the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. And with so much interest in the newly invigorated segment, there's room for experimentation. In the past few years, however, it has gone from dormant to downright hot. It wasn't that long ago that the midsize pickup segment barely had a pulse.
