2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 deliveries begin this month


LINK

Hall Racing will upgrade and modify the 2017 Colorado ZR2 to make its competition debut at the "Best in the Desert" series this August. Hall didn't mention what kind of modifications will be in store but did say the racing team is already a huge fan of the truck's capability. “The Colorado ZR2 really caught our attention with its built-in versatility and the high-speed, off-road potential of the Multimatic DSSV dampers,” Hall said. “We love the ground clearance, ride stability, departure and breakover angles of the ZR2, and the inherent light weight and maneuverability of its midsize package. It should be a great platform for us to build an off-road desert-racing truck.”

Electronic locking differentials at the front and rear, plus an AutoTrac transfer case are also standard equipment for the Colorado ZR2. This particular truck gets the 3.6-liter V-6 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. A 2.8-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder engine is also offered.

There are rumors that a new Blazer SUV based off of the ZR2 will be launched in 2019.

I'm actually kind of digging it. I'm ashamed.

Front and rear locking diffs on a factory pickup is pretty rare these days.

Nice truck but the price will be ridiculous.

It's what all the baws really need for cruising mall parking lots after it rains.

also useless for 99.99% of those buying it. And those who will actually use it could get by with 1 or even limited slip

All that 'Rado needs are a couple LED light bars, some black rockstar rims, and a Westin bull bar and it'll be good to go.

I let my wife drive my old long travel rig down the Texas coastline while I followed her in a 96 tracker on 30s with basic bilstein suspension.

She could not pull away. We passed countless Rubicon s driving 20 mph with 10k in mods on them.

These trucks will be bought by those terrified of scratching them.

I'll keep buying pro4xs, 4runners, and 4.0l rubicons

I had a 99 s10 zr2 that was a complete pos. Hopefully they actually put some thought into this one.
