Couple of throw away skid plates on the bottom of the bumper and you are good to go. The hitch is a tool and totally fine to take some abuse IMO. I guess the bumpers are too but you generally like those to stay straight and pretty. Very capable and well set up truck. The dead horse hasn’t been beat enough, needs 35’s just to carry its own size and compliment the ZR2 abilities for sure though.

You inspired me. I took my 2023 ZR2 here this past week. Family road trip. I have a ARE cap on my truck, loaded with everything for the family to camp and my wife and two kids and did this same thing. So I had more weight. The only differences i experienced was i didnt scrape on the frame bender, and i did plow a little on the hitch scraper (Scraped the same way on departure there) Thanks for the video and inspiration to test the limits of my rig and myself.

When they stuck 32" on the Trail Boss instead of 33' like the Rebel and other trucks do, I knew that the ZR2 wasn't going to get full on 35" tires. They go slightly smaller to get better mpg rating. Plus they know most of their buyers are going to go bigger aftermarket anyways.

The Tremor is available with the torsen up front. Which in most situations, will work as well as a locker. Both have 33" tires, neither one has long travel suspension, or a wide body. It could be argued perhaps that the ZR2 is between the Tremor and the Raptor. But its super close to the Raptor on price.

@dcl97 2 жыл бұрын

It has way, way less wheel travel and articulation than a Raptor. The new Raptor has 14 inches front, and 15 rear, this has only 9 up front and 11 in the back. Quite frankly the ZR2 absolutely needs the lockers because the wheel travel it so short it's going to be lifting tires constantly on more technical trails.

I'm really liking the zr2. We can't get it here in Australia but if I was in the usa it's definitely the kind of truck I'd love to own. I rarely go for the top of the range luxury trucks or the most off road focussed of the factory trucks (like raptor etc). Thezr2 looks like a truck that hits a real sweet spot between offroad ability and real world utility for proper truck stuff like towing and day to day shopping/kids to school/going to work use. I'd probs still put some larger tyres on and get the motor tuned with a snorkel, intake mods, headers and exhaust though.
