I’m taking my 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 (Gunmetal grey) in tomorrow to install a 4” BDS lift kit, 33x12.5x17 Yokohama Geolandars MT tires, and 17x9 Fuel Rebel 6 D680 +1 wheels. I can’t tell you how many hours of video I’ve watched from this channel definitely giving me much inspiration to pull the trigger. I’m not a UA-camr, but I would definitely like to share my truck once the work is complete. Thank you for your help! I can’t wait! ZR2 FTW!!
I'm looking forward to the next truck!!! Thanks for sharing Bobby , ZR2 !
Loved watching the ZR2 for the past year, and I cant wait to see what's next. Keep Rocking Bud 👍
Wow someone finally using it for what it was made for 😮
I salute you 🤠
I hope that you have better luck with your new Colorado ZR2. The new ones look pretty badass.
The 2024 silverado Zr2 will be available with the 3L Duramax. I'll pick that over the 6.2. I agree the ZR2 has the nicest interior available in the silverado line up.
Thank you for the honesty
Let’s Go! I like the new Bison. Looks like the GM engineers used your videos as an influence. They added the “ZR2” trim to the 2500 Silverado s now.
the Colorado ZR2 is so sick!!
I'm super excited for the new Colorado! Can't wait!
Zr2 . Luv that exhaust. And that blue.
Would build the exact same truck.
ZR2 is a badass truck for sure keep up great content can’t wait to see more new cool videos !!!
Another good video Bobby very informative on Chevrolet truck very good keep the videos coming Mike Pierce Lexington Kentucky
The ZR2 was never a raptor/TRX competitor. It’s a rebel and tremor competitor. It’s not in any of the same classes of the raptor and trx other than pricing which is crazy.
It’s def cheaper than raptor and especially trx.
Their pricing strategy is what’s F’d up. GMs used to have huge discounts off sticker. And that’s where they made sense. At sticker they’re just to close to better trucks.
It falls in the middle of Rebel/Tremor and Raptor/TRX. Better shock package than the wannabe Rebel/Tremor and not enough shock performance for Raptor/TRX from factory. Also small tires.
@@Mill72 while I agree the rebel is practically worthless. The tremor is meant to close the in between gap of being able to tow and still be capable offroad. It's not just an offroad oriented truck
Who says isn’t in the same category? Because it doesn’t price up to 100k man I really enjoy when people talk smack and they know not jack of what they talk about ZR2 goes any where TRX or raptor can go so why isn’t in the same category? Maybe you need to own either of the 3 before talking jack
just got my 23 silverado zr2, got an awesome deal on it, flow tie till i die.
It's been a little bit since we've seen the Flow Tie camera view. Please bring it back with some offroad views.
Hey RFRacing have you been aware of the Colorado bison coming out? I would HIGHLY recommend it! I hate to recommend another UA-camr however there the only one who (what I believe) has the footage. With that being said, please what the video on the bison on TFL off-road. The Bison has 35s STOCK(!) duratraks and GREAT approach and departure angles ably with all the perfectness of the ZR2! 9:35
ZR2!! I love that blue, and with the aftermarket finally starting to come around for these, they will be MUCH more competitive. Yes, they are a bit on the pricey side, but ALL trucks are expensive right now and they keep that value. Try looking for a clean OBS Chevy and see how expensive they are.
All this truck needs is.. A lift, maybe some 35's, AFM Delete (Maybe heads/cam) and a nice blower like a Maggie or Whipple. Done!! That'll fix ground clearance, eliminate the crap cylinder cut off parts and add Go Baby Go power. Lol
this truck has no business being that price when its not a raptor and trx competitor its literally a shame you're trying to justify gm making this truck when its capability is shit
@@gerralld5211 literally? Literally lol literally
You said “all it needs” and then listed more than 10k worth of shit. Truck is great how it is.
It does not need the DFM delete. If you do that it will not pass emissions and in Qatar it is prohibited.
Maybe I'm just lucky, but my truck, which is not a ZR2, but still has the 6.2 with the 10 speed has been totally reliable for the 3 years I have owned it.
Even if they fixed everything else, IMO they have a huge issue with the frame coating on everything larger than the Colorado. I'd like to know how the waxing is holding up after the off-road use and cleaning.
i had a silverado 1500 z71 off road , 2016 , bought it brand new , oct 2016, i had transmission issues with it constantly, i even got arange technology plug in module to keep it in v8 mode at all times, had it serviced , reprogrammed and rebuilt twice under warranty, a few months after the warranty expired, the transmission acted like it was going to explode, just over 33,000 miles on it, i only drove it on weekends ,last june i traded it for a 2022 colorado redline , gloss black, my silverado was summit white, two tone black stripes, 22 inch wheels, really beautiful, my colorado is 2wd , v6 , 308 horse power , tow package , i'm liking it more than i thought i would , i miss my silverado , but not the issues, and here in florida , i only needed the 4x4 once
The fact that you recommend the Colorado over this when I was struggling to decide between the 2. I would get a Colorado ZR2 but the Silverado LT Trail Boss is nice.
A competitor for TRX or Raptor? According to whom?
You have put this mother through the ringer! 👏 👏
You have to understand the the f150 raptor is not a commercial vehicle. Yet starts at 77k. Where you can get a 24. 2500 zr2 diesel for 79k. That can tow more than double of what the raptor can. You get 300lb ft of torque more in the zr2 HD. For just 2k more. Not to mention more cab space. So it may not be able to handle the beating. a raptor can take off road. However it's definitely the truck that can come deep in the mud and get the raptor out.
ZR2 FTW!
Here in Canada the ford tremor with the same options is the same price as the ZR2
Was thinking about getting these trucks but after so much reviews ill stick with my tundra 14 years no problem
Stop reading negative reviews. That is what is ruining everyone.
I have this truck but with the 3.0 LZ0 Duramax and i absolutely love it. Already have 28,xxx miles and it averages 23mpg. The 10 speed Allison transmission is great. The DSSV Multimatic shocks have absorbed off road terrain great.
Your 1500 Silverado doesn’t have an Allison transmission
Bobby my favorite truck of the channel was the little red dodge that you jumped at the first farm and all the parts fell off lol.
Edit: ZR2.
ZR2 FTW
ZR2 FTW ✌️🎩👍
ZR2
Definitely can’t wait to see how the 2500 does 🤘🎩👍
i love your truck brother ,, i've been looking at the 2023 colorado's , i like mine , the new ones are longer, wider, taller , my wife just rolls her eyes at me 😁
Bobby, question why would you order a 23 when the 24 model year is coming out? 🤔
Dang, it's been a year already??? Where's that supercharger bud????? At this rate, I'll have one on my 19 GMC Sierra Denali 6.2L before you get one on the ZR2 (had my truck a bit more than a year now too). Keep at it though, keep posting the content on the trucks. Maybe post a few mods/replacement parts videos just for the fun of it, I'd watch.
I personally don't like the interior color because well I just don't get the point of it but however it's a nice built truck I will admit. And that 6.2L is definitely the best part as well.
I am excited about the diesel
Just like you have experienced....I love the styling of the new Chevy and GMC trucks but I have no confidence in the reliability, and to me that is most important.
Yeah, the only competitors they beat in reliability are Ford and Dodge...... Wait, those are their only competitors!
@@scarhart53 in what world do they beat Ford in reliability?
Why a Readylift kit instead of a BajaKit or some sort of long travel? If you were gonna do a widebody kit and supercharge it to be on par with a Raptor, a regular lift kit would still fall short.
I've seen 7 of them around the Houston area just in the last week. Where are they not selling?
ZR2 Hell Yes
Just got my ZR2 and I love it but I have to put that AWE exhaust on it.
Zr2 baby!
Love my 2022 1/2 ZR2 Silverado
I'm going to win the ZR2... Keep up the good work bobby
I have a 2022 gmc canyon I bought in march last year. It has 4700 miles on it and started to shift extremely hard from 1st to 2nd gear. Especially after watching your channel for the last couple years I wouldn’t touch Gm products with a ten foot pole ever again. P.s. I know your zr2 was awesome for you I wish I have a different experience
That's odd but if you have 4700 miles on it you should take it in to the dealer. I've got a 16 Z71 with the diesel in it and no major issues with it as well and I'm pushing 80k miles on it. It's my work truck and play truck on the weekends and she's held up great.
@@chriskolaska897 I’m taking it to the dealer this weekend but it was like pulling teeth to get it done. I left 3 messages to try and get service scheduled and I didn’t get one call back after 2 weeks. I had to go to the dealership and make the appointment. ( IMO they were ignoring my messages)
@@halochief2314 yea I know how you feel man the dealer as become a real joke to try an get anything done with the truck. They've become lazy an useless lol.
@@2011buddylee thank you man I’ll keep that in mind and ask about that!
Zr2 ftw!!
Regret mine as well. I could have just went with a Trail Boss or Duramax or even a High Country
What exhaust is that? Sounds fantastic. Send link to exhaust if you can, thanks bud great video!
Awe off road exhaust. Best on the market. Made In PA 💪🏻
I have the 2023 ZR2 Silverado in the same color as this one. I got the rock sliders on from the dealer. The fuel mileage isn't great but not much worse than the 2020 trail boss I was driving. Towing is about 7.5 gallons per mile and GM is terrible at warranty honoring. I traded my 2020 Trail Boss because I got tired of replacing the back window every 6 months at the cost of $2000 each time. That is a high cost of ownership for a paid off truck that was 3 years old. So far I love this ZR2. It rides great, it off roads incredibly well, and it looks good coming and going!
I agree with GM warranty! They flag everything...Ford breaks constantly as my Raptor lived in the Dealership for ECM, 2 Fuel Pumps, Driveshaft, and more...My TRX has been rock solid so far with 67k miles on a 2021 and not a single issue...My MPG Towing around 6500 Lbs has been 10.5 and no trailer 13 to 15.5mpg...I wish GM would fix there warranty crap cause that'd there downfall at the moment...
Nice review. I however am choosing a Gen 2 Raptor over the Silverado ZR2. The Raptor is so much better with performance all around. I also don’t want to spend that kind of money on a Silverado that’s not in the range of performance like the Raptor is.
Yeah but the new raptor or ram tRX are 150k min finance so good luck making payments after dealer markups taxes plates and financing
@@ashbringer5999 Most dealerships are marking the Raptors up by $5-10K, LOL...
@@ashbringer5999 well, you shouldn't be buying a raptor if you're poor and worried about payments. lol
Are there modifications for the your new Colorado
Zr2 for the win
Transmission failure at 9000 miles is absolutely ridiculous!!! Why are Americans putting up with this shit!? And also GM not covering this under warranty?! That’s mad outrageous!
I have a ‘23 RST with the 5.3. I’m at 6k miles and actually concerned.
are Canadians able to win? I'd love to win that truck. great video by the way. nice Chevrolet.
You and Mike should consider a Toyota Tundra for the channels. Maybe consider a 2nd gen. It’s always Ford,Dodge or Chevy. There is a Tundra, Tacoma crowd out here.
I like how the screen is on the Silverado better than ram
Sound like a gm fanboy troll to me with daddy’s truck
@@freedomisntfree_44 someone jealous I have a better truck?
Oh you guys are out near tower city? Well hell I'm in pine grove bud lol.
ZR2 !!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, at one point you were talking about full size trucks and then said the only thing that might be better is the gladiator.... That's not even close to a full size truck. It's just a long wheel base wrangler with a small ass bed slapped on the ass of the extra long frame....
Why no supercharger? What fell apart?
Zr2 they are beautiful trucks
It's not supposed to b a direct competitor to raptor or trx.
I think for 2024 most people are going to get the diesel in the ZR2 now that Chevy made it available on the ZR2
Zr2 FTW
ZR2!!
The 75k plus price tag for 7/8 years of monthly payments has something to do with it,lol. My wife and I would love a newbie, we'll see. 👊👊✌️✌️
I have a 2023 ZR2, went to the dealership to look at a 2024 ZR2 diesel .
Local Canadian dealership said my 2023 was worth 30000 less then what I paid for it less then a year ago .
@@Rob-yv2xf Ouch!!!!!! That's not good at all. You'd be better off trying to sell it yourself rather than using a dealership. 🤔🤔
Chevy needs to pick up their game ALOT to compete with the Raptor R or TRX
ZR2 IS MY CHOICE OVERALL
ZR2! Off-roading full-sized trucks isn't their strongest point. Pulling, hauling, and not having seats on the floor are their strengths.
IDK about the fullsize segment but in the midsize department Colorado ZR2's are the complete package compared to the rest. Less than a Ranger Raptor, and while a weaker HP still shares the same torque rating. The raptor also has coil suspension which is good for off-road of course, but makes it a useless truck as it literally cannot tow anything (I've seen this first hand). Raptor is more of and off-road toy than a usable truck. And to combat that the new Bison pack that's coming out should just flat out beat it at off-roading on paper at the cost of dropping it's tow rating to the same as the raptor. They have the high trim midsize class basically conquered at this point. They only have one competitor except they have better trim options for what you need the truck for.
Did you ever consider a tundra?
It's my birthday. Zr2. Doug Jr!
I think the problem is there are too many lemons out there that makes the truck look bad. When Chevrolet released it last year, there were some new things that haven't been there before and there might be some problems that occur.
But, hot take here, I think Chevy probably saw what was going on with the 2022 model year and tried to improve it for 2023. I still think it's a great truck and I still intend on buying it, but there are more lemons out there than good ones. That's how I see the situation, but if you disagree, that is fine. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions because this is America.
I have a 2021 trail boss and i've been considering getting the ZR2 for a while
ZR2 ❤
I like my Trail Boss.
If going colorado go with the bison zr2.
Zr2!!
ZR2!! Man I really like the Colorado as well. The new truck is cool BUT.. the new Colorado ZR2 will be super sick!!
" its by far better than all of those"... said no one. 😅
lmao I just turned over 20k on mine too! Haven't had mine for a year though....lol
Dayem you just had to say reliability. I thought the quality and reliability has gotten better. It is a really nice truck though.
I think you should really check out a ram power wagon.Just for fun but i think it has everything your looking for in a truck.
My looking for???
Not trying to bust your bubble but it's not better than a Raptor or TRX off roading....Like another said it was not built to compete against them anyway...Nice truck but not my cup of tea...I do understand hyping it up being a Chevy Boy lol...Love your content brother...
I just ended up getting a fully loaded f150 tremor. Seen so many reports in the Facebook ZR2 groups of paint issues on bonnet and engine failures
lol yea Ford doesn't have engine issues
@@hochhaul far less common than the ZR2. Wayyyy less common.
@@NoVaRedacted 🤣 keep telling yourself that
@@NoVaRedacted You do not hear about those that do not have issues.
@@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806 when a dealer employee steers you away on their behalf. You know it’s bad
Zr2 ftw
Zr2, wow 1 year with the Silverado, hopefully it doesn’t catastrophically break before you trade it
The shifter....
I have a ZR2 on our lot that is not getting the attention it deserves. We are selling it as sticker now. Is anyone getting them under sticker?
Silverado or Colorado?
You'll miss that 6.2 liter engine. I've had compact & mid - sized trucks before. I just don't see the value! The V6 engines really don't get that much better fuel economy from what I have seen. I have to admit I'm a V8 guy from the 60's and not a fan of these smaller is better engines. Hell, anything will run with enough boost!! I think the more small vehicles that we buy the faster the American V8 will go away, sadly!
Its not a direct competitor for the TRX. Wow
The new Colorado gets worse mileage than this. I've put 5000 miles on my '23 and I average 15.5MPG and 10.5 while towing. It's nice but horrendous mileage for a 4 Cylinder. The last gen did get better however.
‘Chevy does not need to follow” that’s what they say when they can’t keep up
I’ll answer. Not many wanna have a monthly payment of $1300/month.
zee are too
So if you didn't put rock sliders on it - that's a 'bad' for you, not for the truck, isn't it?
My point is they all should come factory with them. Just like the colorado.
Bro, you got to be triping on the views..... he'll, yeah, man.
$80,000 + for a new pickup truck? That is a hard NO for me.
according to the most recent videos of gm/cnevy , they have suppossedly dealt with the transmission issues
Only the Colorado ZR2 is worth it off road. The Silverado ZR2 your paying 80k for a truck that won’t even catch eyes, as fast as a base model(faster with the 6.2) but not enough to get people to buy it. They need to put the LT4 engine in it, and give it wider fenders like the raptor to come stock with 35’s. Then it will be bought more and compete with the raptor and TRX.
