    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

      Tribute - invite - milestone

      By trinacriabob · Posted

      Very nicely written tribute for your late friend Phil.  We all need more folks like this in our lives. The cream colored Monte Carlo in the montage is beautiful.  The 1981 to 1986+/- coupe was a real uptick for the MC. Belated happy New Year from across the pond.  I'm enjoying the much slower rhythm so far and the people have been great.

      What Are You Listening To?

      No, I'm not going to weave in any Subaru jokes.  When anyone first hears this, they know it's a good song - it's sort of catchy - and the voice is stellar. But the trippy part is the black and white video itself showing a strange stage act in this grande dame type theater.  The people in the play look like something right out of a Jack Kerouac or John Steinbeck novel.  It all leaves you hanging as to how and why it may all fit together.

      Went in for my annual service/oil change (about 5000 miles since the last one).  Been parked most of the winter, weather been cold and snowy.. warming up and melting.  Got a new set of tires last week (replaced the Bridgestone Potenzas with Firestone Firehawks), getting an oil change and new battery today--I think I had the original battery--after all the cold weather recently, noticed it was down to 10.3 volts when starting, but rising to 15.x after a few min.  Want it in ship shape before my 10 vacation in two weeks..road trip down to Beaufort & Hilton Head, SC, Savannah and Macon GA and Asheville, NC..      After picking it up from the dealer, stopped for tacos near home.  Still turn around and look at it after parking.. beautiful car.

      The other one is when he holds a press conference and someone in the press asks him a question that he doesn't want to field and he just says, 'Next question.' That's because his entitled and corrupt a$$ is in gear, he doesn't want to be accountable, and they've let him get away with it for years.  We're now in 2026.  Does this mean Project 2025 didn't gel like they wanted it to? I can't believe how often he passes and makes nasty remarks to go with along with doing so.
