Well said!! 😜🤙🏽

I love how they opened up the space in front of the tires. Not for everyone but I think it looks awesome.

Lemme guess, you haul mulch from home depot to your suburb home.....

@@elonmust7470 who cares what people do with their truck that they spent their money on? lol

@Elon Must It's "let me guess" genius, I guess you just can't afford any vehicle and want to be a goofball lol

I bet went you put stuff on the trunk it look like that truck begging to god (jk)

@@JuanPerez-tn4xy coherent?

That's awesome for 6.2 L full size. My 4Runner with crappy four liter V6 only gets 20.

My rst with 1.5 lift and 3 litre gets 29 mpg average . hard to believe for a half ton .

cool no one asked though

I doubt that as the 6.2 isn't offered in the Custom Trail Boss trim, unless it used to and they discontinued?

Watch the comparison video uploaded. Both ZR2s performed well but the Silverado had better ground clearance. Not to mention better power

Which are you talking about

Update? I've got an F250 with death wobble, thinking of trading it in for a zr2.

@@ryanlaroche5103 it's amazing but if you'll certainly be driving another sized truck than your F250, it really just needs an exhaust to make the truck better, the factory is a 2 to 1 to 2 and has a dumb flap for the cylinder deactivation right outside of the muffler. Taken it on a bunch of trails and put 35's on it, absolutely in love with the truck

Ahhh yes the dude with the Honda Ridgeline talking crappola, love it.

@@Shortydude847 I've owned the rest, started in Silverado's, had RAM's (back when they were Dodge Rams), and F150s. I just got real about what I was actually doing with my vehicle. I needed a bed that could haul 4x8 material, I tow a couple atvs and a 20ft boat and a 3800lb camper, and commute to work on winter roads in Wisconsin. Why did I need 10k+ of towing or 4wd to do any of that? The lower insurance cost and 29mpg I am getting on the highway alone were worth the switch. It's easy to talk shit on the Honda, as you are, but the truth is that many truck buyers are buying capability that they don't use. I off-roaded for years with my dad in shitbox chevy's with manually locking hubs and did just fine, so why would one need these expensive trucks to do the same thing an 80s truck with manual hubs and open diffs could handle? And why buy an off-road specialty vehicle to not off-road? If I wanted to see that, I could be like the lady I work with who has a Wrangler Sahara and didn't even know it had 4wd. She just likes looking like Daisy Duke.

Here’s this guy

@@jg8263 : You're not wrong. People with fragile egos just don't want to hear the truth.

@@oneslackr It is so appropriate you had commented this the other day and brought this comment thread back to my attention. Yesterday night, I saw a prime example at Walmart. Parked there in the -5 degree Northern Wisconsin weather, was a Jeep Wrangler 2dr, with a lift, with a winch, with the "You wouldn't understand..." sticker, the whole shebang of the Jeep "I'm a real off-roader" gear bolted to it. But get this, it was on 22" chrome rims with rubber-band tires (I mean, if there was 2" of sidewall I would be shocked, more like 1.25-1.5")! Yeah, buddy, we all believe you go soooooooo far off-pavement in your Jeep and it totally isn't a pavement princess.

My thoughts exactly. So far I own the duramax LT and I am telling you I love this engine. I would love the ZR2 but as long as they do not bring it into duramax engines I will never be interested other than the Trailboss.

They do in the AT4, but not the AT4X, the AT4 is like the trail boss and the AT4X is like the ZR2.

Yikes that's alot of money for a 1500

Lol I wouldn't be able to choose, the new f150 tremor looks so good and the raptor of course

Just made the switch. Never looking back 😂 Kept my 2010 f150 though because it's still bulletproof

Order range technologies plug in to obd get rid of 2468 chit you're trans and engine will be happy

Just put a 2 inch lift on your truck and upgraded tire and boom you got a trail boss.

Love my 6.2 but with these gas prices I would rather have the straight 6 turbo deisel!

AT4X w/ 3.0 Duramax? Really? Was that through the dealer? Not showing as an option on the website.

@@G8GTJav yeah I did it through my dealer. Once I found out I called him and he was able to change my order.

Do you have it yet?

@@TheDeanGullberry unfortunately no. My truck has been sitting in order waiting for GM to pick up since may. I changed the engine option about 2 weeks ago.

Just pulled the trigger on a 2023 ZR2. The interior is a huge improvement over the last model

Completely agree. Adding locking differentials to the at4/trail boss with the 3.0 option would be a decent compromise

You probably know by now, but if not, for 2023 the ZR2 could be had with the 3.0 diesel.

The grille is just my opinion, I like the ‘19-‘21 front end much better

You probably know by now, but if not, for 2023 the ZR2 could be had with the 3.0 diesel.

@@shaglioni dream truck

Great pick. Good you didn't sell yourself short with less options. No one has mentioned how they took out the A/C port in the refreshed models. The crazy thing is it's only available in the lower trim levels that's ass backwards.

@@MansaX Do you mean the home plug 🔌? I didn’t notice that. I have used that as well, However, gadgets are now using lightning plugs instead of USB. The way my truck is, even with the auto deploying running boards that swing all the way to the bed, it has a payload of over 1700lbs. This is really useful when I load it up and haul a camper. And the 5.3 is strong enough without having to use premium

@@user-bl4ez3sh5g yes, it's not in the higher trim levels of the refreshed model

@@MansaX Dang! I guess that makes sense, people always seem to get mad when companies make money, but I don’t. GM does a good job with cutting costs. Ultimately that allows them to become a better company, and to give us better products at better price points. I had cross shopped my truck with Ram, Toyota and Ford and nobody could beat the price and value. $47k is nothing for an new LTZ Z71 5.3 with automatic High Country trim running boards. My truck has given me zero problems, with now 40k miles.

same here id go with the custom diesel , like the Chevrolet name in the grille

You missed quite a few things on that list of differences between a custom trail boss and the ZR2.......more factory lift, bigger tires, special bumpers, skid plates, wheel opening trim, different front control arms, much better shocks and a host of other amenities on the interior that make up the 20k price increase.

@@captainrawn eh. It's a cost of diminishing returns. Sure, it has a few extras that the Trailboss doesn't, but the TB is gonna do about 90% (or more) of what the ZR2 does, from the factory. And the average person needs to ask themselves, does it make it worth it? For most people, that answer is no.

@@backwoodstherapy Thanks for the reply. I think your correct that the Trail Boss will be what most people will buy and use for a variety of reasons. It will off road the same up to the point where the extra ground clearance and selectable lockers take over on the ZR2. I recently purchased a ZR2 in desert sand color to "try it out". Should get it in early July. Like many people I drive mostly on road but there is one place that we camp where I pull my trailer through rough bush mountain roads and use 4WD low with the rear axle locked on my 2015 F350 with 35's on it. Up and down steep grades and through some mud at times out there. Let's just say I use all the tools it has under those circumstances. I'm very curious to see how this new truck handles that scenario. I'm in my 60's and have never owned a new GM truck. Never liked the interiors until now. Had mostly Fords in my lifetime and have been generally happy with them. I looked at the Tremor, Rebel, Trail Boss, and AT4 and decided that neither of them would be good enough to get me there and back under those circumstances. I also have a very capable 2005 Tacoma with lockers, a lift and 32's but it can't pull a trailer. This new ZR2 just might replace it. If the truck is any good and they offer it with a 3 liter diesel I would order one soon as it was available. Cheers

Custom does not have the refreshed interior! Still the same ol ugly dated interior they have now. That alone makes it a No Go!!! i went with a 6.2 TB loaded.

they do in lower trim models WT thru to the SLT i think

Ah, so like when Sugar said to the gestation clerk in No country for old men: “so, you married into this”

Diesel or gas???

This is very interesting to hear. My wife has a 20' Trail Boss with the 5.3, and we're entertaining switching to a Ford Tremor, Ram Rebel, and I was telling her to keep in mind the ZR2. We test drove the Rebel and that was more comfortable than the Tremor. With the seat comfort and ride comfort. But that was with very short distances. There is a part of me where I think we would need to take a longer ride in the Rebel, as well as with the Tremor, as I felt like it was "loose" feeling in the rear in the Rebel. So with your comment, the ZR2 has the multimatic, DSSV suspension, but with leaf springs, and it feels more loose. The ram with coil suspension might feel similar in the loose feeling. Has me thinking that maybe the Tremor would be the best onroad and with very capable offroad capabilities. In this segment, Rebel, Tremor, ZR2, even Trailboss with the 6.2, and Sierra ATX4, is a very tough decision.

The 23 Colorado’s will have the 2.7 turbo 4 cylinder so no need for a hybrid really

@@mikemissouri5152 Agreed but I’d still love a system like the Ford Hybrid specifically the pro power aspect. Tie that in with a smaller engine and truck in a ZR2 trim that’d be interesting. Go to unusual places and have the flexibility to power a few things.

It was just announced that the ZR2 is going to come with the diesel option for 2024! The only bad thing is the price will probably increase by 10 percent!

5.3 has been around a long time and is a very reliable engine.

Good engine? Yes. Last as long as a Honda? No. GM has been known to have good transmissions.

The 5.3 is a really good engine...as long as you find a way to delete the cylinder deactivation stuff. It's arguably as reliable as Toyota's 4.6 V8, or the 5.7. The 8 speed automatic transmission? If it's not a ZF8HP transmission I can't tell.

But a Ridgeline or a Tacoma. Avoid Chevys like the plague!

@@somecarnet thank you for that .
