Finally, truth to this truck! I’m a Toyota dude however, I have always said the ZR2 with front and rear lockers is a game changer! Great job!! Look forward to customizations!
@g4yrut Жыл бұрын
Is it though? You could buy a truck for less than half this price, add lockers and tires, and call it a day.
@espd50 Жыл бұрын
Very true, I was just comparing to what is new on the market. It is an expensive truck.
@g4yrut Жыл бұрын
@@espd50 it definitely is, and I think manufacturers are missing the mark. Personally, if I’m buying a truck with dual lockers, I want to wheel it. And I don’t want to wheel a $75k vehicle.
@espd50 Жыл бұрын
@@g4yrut Agree, most of these expensive off-road trucks never even see dirt. I’m looking at building an older Landcruiser or Jeep Rubicon for wheeling. I recently sold my 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail that I enjoyed for 10 years and still sold for almost what I paid for it. Crazy times!

I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. Rides great, plenty of power, tires do surprisingly well in snow/wintry icey mix here in Maine, and it looks bad-ass. I've got zero to complain about. Added a bedrug full bed liner and Truxedo X15 pro tonneau. Nicest truck I've ever had by a longshot!

Ram Power Wagon also has front and rear electronic locking diffs...and a swaybar disconnect if I remember right.
@keewatin427 Жыл бұрын
It does. It’s honestly a much more hard core off roader, with its dual solid axels, but it’s also an HD truck, weighing 7000lbs. The Silverado ZR2 is a true half ton and is only 5600lbs. I guess it’s up to what you need in an off roading truck. With the PW you can tow and haul so much more and it’s off road gear is much more durable. But if you’re not needing so much hauling power or bed length, the ZR2 is the Goldilocks zone. That’s why I got mine. It’ll haul more than a midsize, with way, way more interior comfort, but isn’t as long as a Ram PW, or as wide as the Raptor or TRX
@g4yrut Жыл бұрын
The ZR2 and Powerwagon have nearly identical payload and towing capacities…
@keewatin427 Жыл бұрын
@@g4yrut only because the PW uses off road struts. If you add an Airbag levelling system to the rear, you can readjust the hight to level off and use the Heavy duty 2500 frame to it's fullest. If you did the same thing to the ZR2 you would only increase the payload slightly, as its a half ton 1500 frame. Does that help?

You beat me to it, I was about to type the same thing. PW had front and rear lockers for ever. Plus the PowerWagon came with an integrated from factor winch. Solid axles, the works. Hard to beat. This new Chevy ZR2, particularly in full Bison mode, may be the PowerWagon killer...

@@jonathanblack3351I have owned both: 2021 Power Wagon and a 2024 ZR2 with duramax. Ride quality goes to the ZR2 hands down. Offroad, that’s real close, I do miss the winch but got to give the edge to the ZR2 due to lowend torque from the duramax.
