The Chevy Colorado has been fully revamped for the 2021 model year, and the Hotcars.com staff was recently raving about what an underrated gem it is. Still an awesome daily driver with strong off-road capability, it has everything any truck lover would need!
The 3.6-liter gas V6 and turbo-diesel 2.8-liter Duramax are both available for the ZR2, cranking out 308 and 181 horsepower respectively. Both options are paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the ZR2 also has a 2-inch higher lift kit.
The ZR2 boasts an additional 3.5 inches of width over the regular Colorado. 17-inch wheels are also included as standard to complement the truck’s aggressive stance and adventure-ready vibe. The ZR2 is incredibly versatile, as it can easily go from rock crawling to narrow trails to highway driving, and even through the desert. This truck also now boasts a brand-new front fascia, grille, and tailgate, and an available 8-inch touchscreen for Chevy’s user-friendly infotainment system.
Chevy’s patented Multimatic DSSV damper tech is always working to assure your rides are comfortable and replaces the shims of a conventional damper with a spool valve, which results in a more consistent damper. These dampers are designed for the driver to be able to take the vehicle off-road while still having full confidence that the suspension will hold up perfectly.
If the standard ZR2 isn’t the look for you, you can opt for the Dusk, Midnight, or Bison packages, the last of which is the most attractive package for off-roading outdoorsmen. AEV Outfitters has outfitted the Bison with fog lamps, skid plates, premium winch, and 17-inch aluminum wheels.
