Chevy announced the Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 made some holiday history by winning Best in the Desert class championships during the Cal City Desert Challenge race.
This was the second consecutive championship for the Silverado ZR2 and the fourth straight for the Colorado ZR2. Chad Hall Racing and the Chevy engineering team have been competing with a pre-production version of the Silverado ZR2 for the last two years, helping with the rigorous testing and final validation of the various off-road technologies used for the 2022 production model.
The Chad Hall Racing Colorado ZR2 has been competing in the Best in the Desert series since 2017 and is the only truck in its class to finish every race it has been in. The Colorado ZR2 race vehicle was used to help test and validate 15 groundbreaking factory race components including DSSV dampers and long-travel leaf springs, jounce shocks, a steel driveshaft, a tie-rod sleeve system, and ball-spline half-shafts.
This awesome truck duo will return on Dec. 3 during the Mint 400, an action-packed event that takes place just outside of Las Vegas. A week later, the team will attend the Best in the Desert awards ceremony to usher out another successful season.
The 2022 Colorado ZR2 has received heaps of praise from Car and Driver for its poised handling, ideal lift and widened stance, and highly capable handling during the challenges of off-road navigation.
