Last year, Chevrolet brought two incredibly cool Colorado concepts to the annual SEMA Show. One borrowed parts from Chad Hall’s race truck to turn the ZR2 into an even-more-capable desert off-roader. The other had been transformed into an overland adventure truck by American Expedition Vehicles. We haven’t heard anything about the ZR2 Development Truck since then, but according to the latest report, the AEV-modified overlander is headed for production.


quote:

According to the source, Chevrolet showed dealers the production version of the Colorado ZR2 AEV concept and promised it would go on sale later this year.


quote:

Pricing wasn’t discussed, but the dealer told Off-Road.com that they thought the ZR2 Bison would probably start around $45,000. They also expect AEV to offer optional upgrades that could push the price to about $50,000.


It will include a 2.8L Duramax diesel engine, integrated winch, lifted suspension, wheels/tires, and LED light bars as standard.

Optional upgrades includes an AEV snorkel and custom bed rack.

I think that was at least some of the design inspiration.

Those wheels like like they're 15" Cool concept though, and I love that manufactures are making more of these factory "modified" trucks.

This should be interesting competition for the Jeep JT in a couple years.

I would drive it if it came in the 1500 series. Colorado is too small for my needs.

I think I see bead locks on those wheels.

Supposedly headed for production this year. So all of that hardware will come with a factory warranty.

So it's similar to the Jeeps that I see here in Georgia that have snorkels, winches, jacks, lightbars, etc., yet they don't have a scratch or a speck of mud on them.

Looks like an extremely beefed up Colorado pickup to the rest of us.

They should just skip the paint job and spray Line-X all over the whole thing.
