Emissions problems? Tranny issues? Was the truck worth it? Should you choose the diesel option? I go over my trials and tribulations with this truck as well as the mods done to it (some I regret). Parts and tools used listed below:

You will absolutely want to get the Trifecta tune. It’s crazy how much of a difference it makes. Good luck, and hopefully you will be a new ZR2 owner!

Back in 1999 I owned a chevy S10 zr2. That was one tough 4x4 truck. But the next year my daughter came about so I traded in the truck as a baby seat wouldn't fit on the rear jump seats! That truck easily went along in a huge 10 to 12" deep snowfall that we received in janurary of 2000 in richmond,va. Loved the truck,but man that 4.6L vortex engine was a gas guzzler. It was in that beautiful pewter color with gray cloth interior.

Hello there! Nice ZR2. I own one myself, it’s my second, the first was a 2016 Ext Cab 4x4, Z71,4x4, we had leased as the vehicle my wife commuted to work in and we used together for towing a 21’ travel trailer, to look at different areas in preparation for the both of us to retire. After retirement we moved to a beautiful place in central Florida, that while it was being built, we traveled for 4 months all over the south, from Key West to Corpus Christi TX. After we moved in we got all settled down an decided if we were going to have just one vehicle, a Crew Cab would be better than the Ext Cab. So now we have a 2019 Colorado Crew Cab 4x4, WT this time to buy at the lowest price I could find, with equipment we only needed. The only thing I miss? Is the better projection headlights, but I installed MORIMOTO 2STROKE H11 low beams and TorchBeam 9005 LED’s in that made a huge difference! But mine are gas powered! I don’t want the hassles that diesel have. Plus the gas trucks are faster, plus now I have a bigger travel trailer, a 26’ 4,500-6,400 lbs unit, that V6 tows with ease. I will admit a full size or especially HD trucks would tow better in windy conditions, but I can comfortably maintain the speed limits, with passing still possible. The diesel I test drove was fine, actually great from a dead stop, but after 3,000 rpm’s looses its breath or something. But the V6 is just waking up! Yes on a trip up north, running up through the mountains and hills in N. Carolina, VA, TN, PA, to maintain the speed limits I was forced to use 4-5 gears, at 3,000-4,000 rpm’s to maintain the speed limits, but even then I’m just using 1/4 of the gas pedal! Mileage is the only difference! Where I get 17-20 city and 22-26 highway, the diesel will get more, like 20-24 city an 26-30 highway? The real deal killer for me though is the very expensive exhaust system an regeneration system that are a legal must. Even though I’m in Florida, without inspections or emissions tests. Where I see diesels in all kinds of tune.

@matt13ross 3 жыл бұрын

It spent more time in the shop than anyother new vehicle I've owned in the past 35 years. Sold it this past March and got most of my money back and bought a 21 TRD Pro Taco, couldn't be happier.

For bulletproof off roading, swap out your HOLLOW aluminum driveshaft for a steel one from GM. Owners have twisted the stock ones like a noodle after hitting a rock underneath. You can also get better upper control arms that allow better wheel travel in front end, also from GM. I enjoy my 2019 and can honestly say it’s like having a Subaru WRX pickup truck. The handling is phenomenal due to the extra 2” width, DSSV shocks and killer torque from the baby Duramax ( Isuzu ) and who can complain about the unbeatable mileage?
