2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2

When you see the letters “Z” and “R” on a Chevy, one may begin musing about the Corvettes with the same designation. Give the new Colorado ZR2 a drive and you may begin to make new associations. Ever since the Ford Raptor hit the truck market, everyone has been trying to match that high bar. Of course, this takes more than just a lift kit and big tires, which the ZR2 does have. It takes real suspension modifications, like taller springs and longer shocks and control arms, the ZR2 has those too. Going further, the ZR2 has spool-valve dampers made by Multimatic, the company that assembles the Ford GT. On the outside the body gives you bulging lines that excite and enhanced clearance enabling a 30-degree approach angle. This is a real off-road truck capable of pre-running, that gives new found meaning to the prolific ZR moniker.
