    Rumorpile: Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 To Go Further Off-Road

      Colorado ZR2+

    Last year at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet teamed up with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) to produce the Colorado ZR2 AEV concept. This truck was fully kitted out for overlanding duties with a revamped suspension, new bumpers and skid plates, a snorkel, Warn winch, bed rack, and an air compressor. It seems Chevrolet is planning to make this into a production model.

    Off-Road.com learned from a Chevrolet dealer that GM at their annual dealer meeting showed off a model called the Colorado ZR2 Bison. 

    “The AEV truck they revealed looked nearly identical to the concept vehicle with some minor differences,” the unnamed dealer said in email.

    The differences are most likely the absence of the bed rack and air compressor from the concept. What would likely carry over are the larger fenders, meaty off-road tires, upgraded suspension, and underbody protection.

    The dealer also said that the Bison will be available at dealers soon according to Chevrolet officials at the meeting.

    @oldshurst442 That Brown concept is a nice start to an updated version for the next Mad Max Movie! :smilewide:

    Wonder just how many of the features will really make it into the truck. At least all the Off-Road ones should, but I wonder about the bed connection stuff.

    Who needs a Jeep with that.....

    There are some trails that this truck would be too big for it to go through.  A Jeep Wrangler is better for all those narrow trails that this (or any full-size) truck.

    :metal: That would rock as this would be a solid competitor to Toyota TRD Pro I would hope.

    The ZR2 is already a direct competitor to the TRD Pro. Many would say it's a better offering than the Pro already. 

    Those wheels look so damn good. I'd want those on any mid-size truck I had.

    True, but that is even too hard core for me....can still have plenty of fun the ZR2

      I am saddened. Loved him as an actor.    There was also a crime thriller movie with Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery that he did.  Rising Sun.

      For sure. 100%  I have a personal anecdotal story involving insurances. Although my aunt's and uncle's insurance story from Boston didnt affect me personally, its a story that makes me very indifferent regardless what kind of monster Luigi Mangione could really be. If the story is that the CEO that got murdered was truly a sweet man, then I will have empathy for him. If not...indifference it will be for me.     I have lost a lot of my humanity these last few years I must admit. And you would be correct, indifference is almost always NOT the correct emotion to wield no matter what the circumstances.    Most probably was.  I am curious to know Luigi's motives.  Although I am not too fond of Luigi either. I dont like murderers. But...innocent until proven guilty. And Luigi's Miranda Rights allegedly were not given to him. And...a search warrant was not present when the officers went through his backpack.  I will hate it if Luigi does not stand trial because of incompetency. Justice needs to be served. For the deceased as well for the charged as well for society.  Any murder is creepy, I will agree.  We discussed my indifference so I wont get into that again.  This would be a second time I would be indifferent to horrific public murders in a year's time.  My indifference to both murders does not negate that I also sense and feel the creepiness of it all. Good guy or bad guy, indifference to his murder or not, and we will add Charlie Kirk to this...NOBODY should be murdered.   I agree with your assessments:  indifference is not the right answer and vigilantism is a very dangerous road to follow.  human beings are strange creatures.  Psychology has proven that human beings are more lenient and more favorable towards pleasant physical human attributes than to humans that are less lucky to be blessed with beautiful genetics.   Reality is though... that ALL human beings are capable of murder.   THAT is the scary part.

      Thanks for this link.  Very well written, detailed, chronological enough, and interesting.  This is about how I understand it. The psychological twists and turns are going to be important.  There will be a lot for psychological experts to chew on that we're not (yet) privy to.

      Exactly why you don't necessarily want a vintage car. Modern cars MUCH safer.
