Who's got the coolest name: Bison, Tremor, Gladiator or TRD Pro?

4:56 That green ZR2 with the 35inch tires looks awesome

Love my 18 ZR2 Diesel. Will be upgrading with quite a few AEV parts in the near future.

Great job showing how much fun you can have driving a ZR2!

This was a great explanation on how the different off road features work. Nice job!

Larlos Cago...expanding horizons off-road!

Personal experience - TLDR, Love my '19 V6 ZR2, am trading it in for a diesel Bison to get more protection and increase my range per fuel tank. Truck is very capable, as the video shows you sort of wonder what conditions it will take to push the limits of the thing. Offroad mode keeps the revs a little higher for more power on demand. AWD works great for light off road and snowy streets and highways. 4Hi and 4Lo remind me of my '82 S10 Blazer. Locking front and rear diffs are great to have in reserve if you need em though I haven't gotten to that point very often. I know I'm going to miss the get up and go speed of the V6 but I drive in the mountains more than city anyways and am really looking forward to that diesel for torquey up hill and downhill roaming. The DSSV shocks allow for an amazing on road and off-road driving experience. I can’t overstate how well the truck handles twisty highway roads. I had the well documented transmission issue on the 8-speed which started at about 4,000 miles if I remember right. Dealer completed the recommended service reset and I haven't felt a thing since though understand only time will tell if it’s truly corrected. I have 23,000 miles on the truck after two years and the trade in value is going to be around 92-93% of what I paid so resale value is also high. My quick comparison to the competition, which is only MY comparison. Can’t get a six-foot bed in the Tacoma TRD Pro or Gladiator so those were non-starters for me. Extended cab Colorado has the six-foot bed. Ranger, I’m sure it gets up to Interstate speed quickly but I’m not super keen on a turbo four-cylinder gas engine for off road roaming. Gladiator is also too expensive. Full size trucks, too wide for where I go. Frontier, I will withhold judgement but I can’t imagine it having enough off road chops. Feel free to ask my any questions.

That was really helpful. Thanks.

Great review 👍

To each their own. I buy every 2 years and just picked the same truck in this vid. Also had an 18 and 20 ZR2. Had some spring issues on the 20 that were fixed. “Knock wood” trans has been ok. No other issues. I drive 25,000 miles per year and like to play off road when I can. These have been great capable trucks. (And I’m a Tacoma fan) just to tall to fit in them.

Hungry Valley OHV is such a fun place to explore. One of my favorites

cant wait for the canyon elk version

Impressive truck, had no idea you could lock the front diff.

I can't help but wonder how the 2021 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x would do with its locking dear diff and low range 4WD but cost an advertised $32,000 before taxes and fees. If you want a new off-roader with more money leftover to customize, I think it's the value option.

I bought a diesel 2020 ZR2 Bison in August of 2019. It is awesome. Some say the diesel is slow. But I don't get it. Maybe I drive around very slow drivers with the occasional Toyo mini are zipping along. A lot of torque off the line. It's armored with boron steel plates underneath. I've added the AEV snorkel, Warn winch, transmission skids. shock skids and other things. But this thing is fun to drive! The trouble with the shocks is that the rears are vulnerable to rocks and road trash thus to skids to help with that and there are reports of these very expensive shocks leaking, way too soon. And did I say it is fun to drive?

It’s not just steel. It’s a hot stamped boron steel alloy...ridiculously high yield strength. It’s also lighter because the plates are thinner.

You can lock the diff in 2WD? A lot of trucks and SUVs make you select 4LO just to lock the diff. Nice to see that you can lock your diffs when you want.

The video of the hill climb showed 4 Hi, not Auto as mentioned?

No complaints on my 2019 Bison.. no need to get rid of it..

Hate to be “that guy” but technically the skid plates underneath are nickel-boron, part of that massive price of that Bison package because it’s suppose to keep its form even if you bash it on rocks.

I just bought a Colorado Chevy Colorado a bison it's all wheel drive it's an automatic it's perfect it's a V6 I think it's a 2.7 V6 I don't know it's I get it down somewhere and I can't wait pick it up with pick it up tomorrow Valentine's Day and I get to spend more money on my girlfriend and that great but I love this truck and what I'm going to do is I'm going to write write down everything I do and how it runs and how it drives and how it goes over for 4 wheel in the stuff that's gonna take a little while to do before Go there but thank you for everything Chevy aimed very Chevrolet you guys are great thank you so much for everything you've done for me Of this truck so much it is beautiful it's a silver it looks different in the sun but I love it I can't wait to take my 1st trip alright have a good day Amesbury auto I mean Amesbury Chevrolet I'm sorry alright have a good day thank you for everything you've done

I'm just here for the Patagonia.

I have a question for ZR2 I know ZR2 is more focus to offroad than Z71 But ZR2 has DSSV shock so I wonder ZR2 is more soft to onload than Z71 too I hope we can buy ZR2 in Korea

I feel like Chevy missed the two most important things over plates under. The rear shock placement and or a shield for protecting it and the last making the wheel fenders clear 35s like a stock Gladiator Rubicon. Ask me how i know because i have one now lol. I owned a Zr2 baby Duramax and can tell you the shocks are amazing but do fail and mine failed at 20,000 miles along with a cv boot failure. I loved the diesel but most times the traction control would kill it no matter in offroad mode or other modes. I hope they have another baby Duramax in the next Zr2.

So which is better the v6 or the 4cyl

So great, GM

Nice colorado

How to pair my farming edge 1030 to my power meter cranks

Imagine this as a supercharged V8 on bypass shocks.

I’d still take the tacoma trd pro over any other midsize truck personally. I love everything about it honestly.

Picked up my Colorado ZR2 Bison from American Expedition Vehicles - AEV after their full upfit package and took it to Northern Michigan for some snow fun (30+"). Much more to come! @carscatscannabis New to the truck: -AEV Highmark Flares -AEV Snorkel -AEV Crestone wheels with protection rings -4.10 Gears -35" BFGoodrich Tires KM3 Mud Terrain Tires -Lingenfelter Speedo Calibration (everything works) -Go Fast Campers kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jd2VpbFm3a-4Z4U.html

This is where Rhett and Link went off-roading

I can't afford it right now as my first truck is a base 2009 Ford Ranger, but for off roading whats better----> Gas or Diesel?

Can you guys do a Chevy Colorado z71 too?

Should have done the Jeep with and without the sway bar disconnect

Bison steel bumper reduces approach angle by 10*, the boron steel skids are a worthy upgrade, the rest is just cosmetic and adds a few hundred pounds. You missed several drive modes.

how does the diesel zr2 do on mpg i have heard a whole lot of way different readings

I still don't like the front bumper. I'd love to have the truck but I'll keep my 2018 zr2 cuz I love it and love the look of front bumper

I'm just here to see the normal Taco Vs Chevy war LOL. "Your brakes suck! Your interior sucks! You need an update! You need more power! You need a push to start! Your frame rusts! Your retail sucks! Bla bla blaa

Lockers do not ensure equal torque. Open diffs do, which is why when one wheel has no traction the other has the same amount of torque, which is nothing. . Lockers will send the torque from both wheels to the one still on the ground back to both as you lift a wheel and it returns back. . A fully locked driveline can send every ounce of available wheel torque to the wheel(s) with the most traction.

Anyone know where he testing this truck? It looks familiar, somewhere in California?

Can't wait to see how the upcoming electric trucks compare to the current ICE crop in off road testing! For Science!

what happened to the price??

Nice TOY

Why do the bison fenders have to be sooooo ugly! The Zr2 flares look so much better. But I love the other stuff about this package

In 2024 the bison package is sitting at $11k 😢

The Chevrolet or Chevy is the best pickup truck or pickup trucks on the road today and street or off road today because in the pickup truck line today

And Powerwagon

The Bison is one tough midsized truch,truck, for low 50's price tag one should just go ahead and buy a full size f150 or a Tacoma tundra for another 5 to 10 grand more price tag.

Carlos has turned too much of a dad 😅

so save yourself 8k & get the regular zr2

THAT INTERIOR SUCKSSSS SOOOO BAD... but i love this truck.. but that interior. What were they thinking?!

TRD Pro!!!!

It doesn't offer 6000 payload n 20000 towing

I’ll wait for cybertruck

I must say 'that' generic steering wheel on a 'special' and more expensive truck is very disappointing.

This is a $50k truck that doesn't have a push button ignition?

How can I get a job yours...

The rear axle articulation is quite poor. Why can’t Ford and GM figure this out? The Tacoma has far better articulation. It isn’t rocket science.

Ask any one that is actually on the trails...Toyota is always the recovery vehicle that comes to your rescue. Plus, no better re-sell than a TACOMA !!! Dont really need the PRO but the TRD OFFROAD is the better truck right off the showroom floor.

Toyota still has the crown.

Ford has had the Raptor for 10 years. Ram has the TRX now and the best Chevy can do is a mid size truck.

Don´t speed while offroading. You just damage your truck easily.

"you can easily daily drive this car"......... CAR???!!!

Did you get out the passenger side and then just pretend you got out the driver's side?

As usual, reviewers avoid talking about "uncomfortable" issues with the test truck. First, the Bison package is nice, but WAY overpriced--over $5,000 for a bunch of badges and, maybe $2,000 worth of skid plates, without any better ground clearance than the "regular" ZR2. Second, the 3.6 V6 is not that impressive and is somewhat prone to problems. Worse yet, it is mated to the AWFUL GM 8-speed automatic that is an unreliable piece of junk. The 2.8L diesel and the reliable 6-speed automatic is a better choice, but expect to spend about $1,500 to have the timing belt replaced at 150K miles. If Ford would wise up and offer a locking front differential on the Ranger Tremor, they would eat the Chevy Colorado's lunch. As for the Jeep Gladiator, a tough off-roader with Jeep's usual horrible reliability record. And, the Toyota Tacoma, a very decent off-roader that has literally about the most uncomfortable seating position of any current production vehicle. You'll get there in the Tacoma, but your body will hate you for it.

It would be the best overland vehicle... If it didn't break down on the highway on the way there.

Tacoma from WISH lol

“Overland king” Not with that garbage 1,192 lb payload capacity

This is a “chevy” right ? I’ll pass just bought a 2021 TRD off road 4x4 DC Tacoma and Love it drove every brand out there nothing like Toyota I mean NONE

Carlos this review was ASS. Just kidding bro, Chevy forever!!

Weak sauce demo

Looks like the new frontier is the best looking midsize truck and wow so ugly chevy

😴😴Boring

the Colorado is not reliable

Colorado Bison? C’mon man! This is the problem with GM they can’t seem to make a top trim model, always make another model that’s top trim. I thought the ZR2 was the top off road version, now they make another that’s ZR2 Bison🤦‍♂️They always do this. Horrible! 👎No heritage what so ever.

Bad angles, terrible rear shock mount placement, same ground clearance as a Subaru. Plus terrible Chevy reliably and resale value. Nevermind totally overpriced!! 💩

New Nissan Frontier Is better

Do you guys just hate the bow tie brand? Or what because you always down play their products over and over in every video. They rub you the wrong way somewhere? You guys should just stick to selling cars........... you guys seem very biased in your opinions on things...... i don't love or hate chevy but noticed this and will definitely be unsubscibing. .... your channel is a waste of time!
