That was quick. They just got this truck and getting rid of it already. Kinda says all you need to know if roman really likes it or not. He held onto that trx long as possible and is holding onto the bronco long as he can.

Keep the trucks longer.. this one has barely been tested, let alone in winter conditions.. beautiful mountains Quality over quantity for videos plz

What a beautiful day! I'd love to drive an offroad truck on this mountain some day.

You really need to keep these trucks for at least 6 months, I really want to see you keep them for a year so we can see how the interior holds up, if anything breaks, everyone gets some seat time to truly mull over their impressions. I understand you can't as there are other trucks you want to do long term tests with, but the manufacturers really should be giving you these for a month to do all that you've really done with it, film hard with it and then stretch it out the content over two or three months for us. And then you can buy only the vehicles you will actually keep, modify, and such. I'm sure the only 2 reasons you don't is because you want to rely on yourself getting the vehicle instead of the manufacturer making one available to you for that time in the press fleet, and 2, if it gets damaged, scraped and such, you can do it and loose a little bit of money on it rather than what happened with Subaru on a press vehicle, and I do appreciate it, but the Tundra and the this I've wanted to see more of from you.

These videos need to include at least one from the group Andre/Nathan/Tommy. Also, it’s such a shame to have this truck in your fleet only to get rid of it so soon. I much prefer your old format where you hung onto trucks for a while and provided longer term reviews and updates. And above all else, please do not replace this with an electric truck! In fact, if you have to get rid of something, let the Lightning go. You’ve already demonstrated that it’s not ready for real truck usage and towing. Move on.

The zr2 in that color, on this mountain is beautiful combination

🙁sad to see the ZR2 go…was hoping for some winter videos with it but looking forward to what TFL gets next

They sold this to us as a long term test truck, even coated it to see how the coating would last… then 2 months later it’s out the door? If it’s not a blue oval or a TRX then tfl doesn’t want it

Keeping these trucks for 2-3 months is rather pointless. TFL got my subscription because of in depth long term reviews, you took that Trailboss everywhere and compared it in a test vs all of the competition. There hasn't been a single good comparison of the ZR2 vs anything the Tundra video was a joke, all the easy obstacles. This entire video was a waste of time.

Beautiful truck, love the color. Glad to hear Chevy stepped up their interior. Great review.

You should do more comparison videos with this before selling it. Would love to see it off road versus some other competitors. The video comparison with the tundra was the best ZR2 content TFL put out yet. Take it out with the first edition bronco to compare a truck vs suv pros and cons off road.

Not sure I’ve been able to get bored of the ZR2 - barely seen it. There’s a lot riding on the big trip. The energy seems to have gone from TFL videos of late. I look forward to a return of the energy circa Godzilla, Trailboss and the Gladiator.

Power deficiency? Not everybody wants a 1000 hp... some value economy and probably better insurance rates, I think ZR2 would be my choice out of the Raptor and TRX. It retains more pickup capability than the others that are a 1 horse trick... I want more than that for SSSS.

I’m not bored at all on this truck, I LOVE IT. I did get bored on the TRX. What happened to holding on the trucks long term. I was so excited for the Toyota to be gone and this proper truck in the fleet. I was looking forward for a year’s worth of videos on the ZR2. I wanted to see the truck in the snow, a longer economy trip with and without towing a trailer, installing and testing the trailer cameras, go all out on accessories like their RAM REBEL a few years ago, and proving that the truck needs bigger tires. And maybe another comparison with the Colorado ZR2 and a hardcore Colorado trail. I guarantee the next new truck won’t be as awesome as the Silverado ZR2. Bye Silverado 😢👋

I've always been a Ford fan but not a fan of small engines with turbos but I've gotta give it to Chevrolet that's a nice looking truck & really like the V8 naturally assperrated.

For those curious about tire sizes and this trucks reliability: I have had the ZR2 for three months now. I immediately upgraded my tires to the Nitto Ridge-Grappler 295/70 R18. Basically 34” tire. 35” will not fit in the front. They will rub. You can lift or change wheel offset as solve the rubbing problem, but I didn’t care about having a 35” tire. What I cared about was load rating and I wanted a 10 ply tire. The Goodyears it came with were a 6 ply tire of memory serves. I have had zero rubbing and the truck looks and performs great. This is my first time running this tire. All of my previous vehicles had BFG KO2. So what broke? Within the first 2 weeks the front locker. I hadn’t even used the 4 wheel drive system yet and I started getting “service axle locker” warnings at odd times driving down the freeway. It took a bit for them to figure what was wrong, but apparently it was a loose wire and they replaced the actuator. I have two paint issues. The red paint is chipping off the red recovery tow hooks. Never used them. No reason for it to flake off. And I have one spot on a plastic piece where the white paint is coming off. It is minor, but I will probably make them repaint this part before my warranty ends. I’m monitoring now to see how much worse it will get. Finally my lane departure is not working. Which doesn’t bother me. However because it isn’t working the adaptive cruise control won’t work. My plan is to get that fixed when I take it in for its first oil change and tire rotation at 5000 miles. I’m at 3500 miles right now. Many of you will probably use this post as an excuse to pile on GM and call these trucks p.o.s. but for the haters let me say this: To me GM knocked it out of the park with this truck. I had it at the ranch this past weekend and put it through its paces with heavy feed loads in the valleys and using all the 4 wheel drive functions on difficult terrain in the hilly sections. I actually had a pretty serious storm come through and things got muddy and slippery while on the hills with steep grades. No problem, front and rear lockers and 4 low kept me safe on steep grades. 4 high and rear locker got me through muddy sections of the flat land. In short the truck did it’s job. Annoying mechanical issues that are minor are not a big deal I think. Paint possibly failing on a plastic is something I know GM will make right. Where I draw the line is with major engine failure and I think the 6.5 is a proven engine. Time will tell. Last comment: every time I get in this truck I think how much I love it. It will be interesting to see how I feel a year or two down the road. Those that are upset the TFL made a business decision to sell this truck to buy a new vehicle for us to get excited about should look to the fan forums from real owners who give honest real world feedback. Keep up the good work TFL. I’m excited to see what you replace the ZR2 with. Cheers! -Ash

looks to me like its more of a practical truck than the TRX or the raptor

Love to see a comparison of the zr2 and powerwagon. Similar payloads, both designed for off road, very similar size, pw a bit heavier. Be interesting to see how they stack up off road.

The trail he went on, you don’t need a zr2 to go to places like this. That trail you can do with any 4x4 truck or suv. Before I built up my 4runner I took the stock truck up trails just like this all throughout Colorado with no problems at all. It’s an sr5 as well with no lockers. Just Atrac did everything I needed to and didn’t even need Atrac most of the time and especially a trail like this you don’t need front and rear lockers and crazy suspension and huge lifts. There are harder trails but you can still get to remote beautiful places like in this video without a crazy expensive rig.

Trading it already? LOL! I really wish they'd have this lift on the new 6.5ft Reg Cab body. That would give you similar wheelbase as Colorado. For 99.9% of all off roading, this is 99.9% as good as the Raptor.

Gettin’ me one of those someday. I love this truck so much!

Noooo... Was really looking forward to a lot of videos with the ZR2. Snow wheeling ect... Trade in the Bronco! I say that half kidding as a Wrangler Rubicon JL owner :) Always love the videos no matter what truck so will look forward to the new one.

Yeah its pretty cool! I look forward to the improvements over the next decade 😁

Sad to this this one go. Love this truck. 😞

Farewell, false leg beige ZR2. Thanks for putting it through all the paces and showing how capable it is off road.

Everyone is always comparing the ZR2 silverado to the TRX & RAPTOR but honestly the ZR2 isn't in the same ballgame and in this case it isn't a bad thing I'm glad they didn't try to do that. The zr2 is a actual off road capable. The only full size factory truck wogh electronic diff locks trx and raptor is damn nice truck but zr2 has far more traction in the off road scene but I do wish there was an option from the factory to put the supercharger from a zl1 on it just to say they did.

Wow, Barry White works for TFL? Big budget production.

Need a regular and/or extended cab model! Imagine a regular cab 6’ bed ZR2! I would buy one like that tomorrow.

We would love to see more video with you, Andre, Mr Truck, and Nathan! Please don't be grumpy though

Good job, Roman. I can always rely on TFL for a comprehensive and unbiased opinion.

I saw a ZR2 the other day in Carl's Jr. drive thru window. It looks as tough as a Bison too.

Ya, Chev finally nailed it, assuming the truck can run for years with no real issues.

I know the power wagon is an HD truck but it would be interesting to see how it compares to the ZR2 on the off road because of the presence of front and rear locker and big V8. Besides power wagon don’t care!

Electronic front and rear electronic lockers should be a stand alone option on all 4x4 Silverados.

I’m surprised your getting rid of it so soon. Hard to call it a long term review truck. I would have liked to seen more video on it. A tremor vs zr2 vs Trd pro in moab would be cool.

Such a beautiful truck.

I purchased this same truck in this color and should get it in the next 2 or 3 weeks... I'm excited to try it out. Will be my first new GM truck ever. Have had lots of Fords and still own an F350 King Ranch that does all my heavy towing etc. The ZR2 will be just a toy but I plan trying to tow my 7000 lbs travel trailer with it to see how it handles that.

I love all of the buttons. Thank God.

Excellent review Roman. Opened my eyes to how good this truck is. Capable off road (lockers can be very useful. Approach, departure, ground clearance, visibility all very important - so agree, get rid of scoop, improve departure). I don't subscribe to the too quiet club so nice to see GM made it quiet. I agree with you, 700hp is unnecessary, 6.2 GM is not going to be short on power. I'd rather have improved gas mileage. If it runs around 20+ on the hwy then that's pretty good. Would be good to have a playlist for each one of your long term vehicles. I'm struggling to find your other videos on this truck.

Awesome job 👏

Yes, the tires are undersized for a full-size. Needs 35s to keep with body proportions & thankfully it’s an easy upgrade with a level kit. I have a Colorado ZR2 & installed 33s, but needed a 1.25” level & very minor trimming at the front inner well.

Good morning TFL, Happy Independence Day to you all and yours. I appreciate the work you do to provide honest reviews. My only wish is that you could incorporate more of the under $50k vehicles across all segments. As much as I love the tech and features of the more expensive rides they are definitely out of my reach. Inflation has effected us all and seeing the attainable new vehicles for average Americans would be refreshing.

Dopest Silverado I’ve seen

I like the truck but it needs a bigger gas tank.

Dang, only 2200 miles on it letting it go already. As others commented below, just don't feel we've seen enough reviews or comparisons. I supposed you guys must be on a tight schedule and running out of time to use this ZR2 in order to get content for the F150 Lightning alaska trip.

good lookin truck

Should come with the option for 33's or 35's from the factory. I wonder if 35's would fit with no mods. But after paying $70k+ for a truck dang sure don't want to buy new tires for it.

thats a beautiful truck....

in regards to the shifter comparison to the BMW i-drive shifter, I think they have it correct for the i4 version

nice truck but out of my price range lol .... Roman I hope you are feeling better you didn't sound like your normal self there.

I just want to point out they keep forgetting about the power wagon He said there's nobody in that segment Like the ZR2 The power wagon

Good review, but I posted on some of your other post about that junkie new dash. Mine has busted twice in three or four months. Bouncing down these oil field roads in 100° heat that display can’t handle it. They have got me in a loaner truck right now from the dealership it’s been in there over three weeks waiting on another display to come in. Luckily they have dodges at the dealership so that’s what I got instead of another Chevrolet as a loaner.

This truck is not a raptor competitor. It’s a TRD Pro/ Tremor competitor

I would buy one. Too bad trucks are way over prices. Sticking to my old truck for as long as it takes.

Roman hit it. This is the most versatile half ton truck available. From offroading to maxing out the towing it's tough to match its range. Have had mine for a month and it's as close to no compromise as you can get.

I would want the AEV aftermarkets parts enhanced Chevy ZR2 Bison Edition which I understand is coming out this fall to early winter. If you are a Chevy Colorado Bison Edition 4x4 truck fan, then the upcoming Silverado ZR2 Bison Edition will probably blow your mind to high heaven! If I was given this truck, I could definitely make it work for me and turn it into a TRUE long-range overlander/boondocker vehicle. I do notice the full-size and medium-size truck segments are starting to get VERY competitive on 4x4 off-road side of the things so for those of you who want one, I highly suggest you look at financing options with lower monthly payments at the expense of a longer financing term (i.e. 72 and 84 months) and use the monthly savings for more gas and groceries for your weekend off-road trips. Pick the truck that who can add the most accessories such as font and back heavy duty bumpers with winches, bush bars, fog lights and best roof-top camper to and buy the one that has the longest driving range when carrying two to four 20 Gallon Jerry Cans of fuel. THOSE should be your primary buying concerns! In terms of BANG for the buck, if you can get a 2020/2021/2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison Edition from ANY dealer in the USA or Canada, then THAT ONE is right now the best deal on the market for medium-size OR full-size of any of the current trucks. You get a LOT of 4x4 off-roader truck for the money and you can add those extras yourself with a quick run to the JEGS website. The next in line is a NEW 2022/2023 Nissan Frontier Pro4x which is still expensive BUT you will definitely get better financing options than the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. If you can handle a USED truck of over 5 years old, I would say the best bang-for-the-buck in off-road and carrying ability is now the Nissan Titan XD which has more back bed capacity than the Ford F150. If you are a twenty-something who can't spend more than $10,000 I think the 2010 or earlier GMC Jimmy or Chevy Blazer are your best bets with some lifts and 33 inch tires put on. They can go ANYWHERE fully 4x4 equipped at less than $10,000! Another good one is a 1995 to 2010 era Jeep Grand Cherokee in Limited trim editions which can be lifted and modded for off-road so easily for a total cost you spend to buy and fit-out for less than $30,000 USD depending on the odometer miles.

Hey Roman, I like your new Garmin watch. Is it a Fenizx 7? I recently got an Epix 2 and love it for workout and health tracking, not to mention the long battery life. Great video and it’s good to see that GM is upping their game to be more competitive against both Ram and Ford.

Love the truck.. glad the inside is updated.. just need a new steering wheel..

The old fords had to be backed up 3 ft. before you could lock the hubs for 4 wheel drive, if I remember correctly.🔵🔴🔵

Very nice truck also where did you get the watch I’d like to get one myself

nice truck

I was hoping when I bought my 19 Colorado zr2 I could get that tailgate but it’s not offered. Maybe on the new one it’ll be an option but probably not

So this is basically a video of Roman taking the ZR2 to the train station...

Needs the 3L dirty max

I hope you get the gmc hummer . It be interesting to see it up against the other ev

You dont collect truck, you review them… seem like you flip trucks. I want to see a long term review on this truck like your bronco. Like the previews format on long term vehicle a lot more

Truthfully the only problem I see is at $70k I feel it needs to be more special the suspension is very nice but at that price it needs a little more but that’s my opinion

Putting 35 tires will be a good point to see the difference in gas and off road

The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X has front lockers too.😃

Front and Rear lockers is important to me.

Front locker would be real handy at the boat ramp.

Any word if these have that dreaded lifter/knocking engine noise as some of the other silverados/ gm products? Or had this been resolved….

No reason for fake hood scoops. Shame on Chevy! Really like the new interior and dash layout.

You know Roman, if you looked at a map ... there are many places in North America that also have beautiful & high mountains too besides Colorado! The Rocky Mountains in Canada IMO, are even more amazing! Take British Columbia for example, one of the best places to go off road in North America, period!!!

The ZR2 package is no joke.

I like how you commented that it's not expensive, $67k. Making you tube videos must pay quite well, 'cause most folks would not consider $67k inexpensive.

I need to try Deer Creek. I heard Webster Pass is still closed.

At least I am in the Top 5.

Hey. How is that Ceramic Coating holding up ??? You put it on just after getting it.

So is the Power Wagon not in the same segment as this Chevy? By the way the Power Wagon has front and rear lockers. Where is the Chevy's winch? What are the differential gear ratios? What is the transfer case gear reduction? Does the Chevy have disconnecting sway bars?

least im in the top 1O'

Can you fit 35”s on these stock? Things already lifted right? May need another 1.5-2”?

I wish ram would have put front and rear lockers on the rebel along with the 6.4 hemi

We waited so long for this truck to hit the market and now your getting rid of it Soo fast.....

Sounds like your voice is coming out of your basement. Nice color for an off road vehicle.

Furthermore I'd like to see the 3.0 Duramax and 37's on the zr2 and my favorite the AT4X

This is the only truck that has a front and rear locking diff? Colorado ZR2, jeep Gladiator, Ram Powerwagon? What am I chopped liver over here, Roman? No offense Roman needs to run the company and let his friends and Tommy do the content...

Make sure you add the performance package

Come on Roman. Chevy wasn't "beaten down" by the negative comments about the previous interior. Chevy was beaten down by Ram pushing them to release the truck earlier than wanted in model year 2019. COVID and supply issues made the delay take even longer. TFL had said so in the past.

Roman I would keep it and travel with it cross country Luke you where going to do 2 years ago... it's a true overlander..It's time for some trips like your Alaskan trip.... just one family 👪 opinion The Banks Family

Great video Roman

You should keep it for a long term test

It's the power wagon of 1\2 Ton's.

I bet it's a TRD Pro you're getting

Chevy makes the best tremor and rebel and zr2 .... king of that hill with regards to regular half ton trucks but super trucks trx bests the raptor a lil and chevy ain't got a competitor yet ... hopefully they throw a blower on the 6.2 and a wide body and wider travel suspension... if they do then we may rename that title ...

you said this is the only full size truck with front and rear lockers - sorry the Power Wagon still does

It’s nice but I’m happy with my 22 Trail Boss LTD.

$70,000 ??!! They're f'ing nuts!! Sweet truck, tho!

My engine isn't dirty because I paid $70,000 for it. I'll use a old one for off roading weld back axle up and put a locker up I've saved all kinds of money

Is this truck competing against the Rebel? You kept mentioning the Raptor, but it doen`t seem to have the same features and capabilities the Raptor or TRX have.
