    Beautiful truck! I also have a 2024 ZR2 and mine is white ! Got my 5 days ago! I traded in my 2017 off road Tacoma in for it!

    Where did you get the dog seat cover? And how good do the dogs fit back there?
    Would three golden retrievers fit

      Just an Amazon find, search for dog hammock. Echo is half Golden and about that size, Whisper is a little smaller. They fit very comfortably. Maybe a tiny bit of extra room. Three would definitely be pushing it, imo

    Great video. Did you need any special equipment options on your truck for the Alaska environment?

      Thank you! Great question. Without a doubt one of my favorite options has been the technology package and the underbody cameras. They’re actually incredibly useful and really add a layer of confidence when navigating tricky terrain. But I’d say the only package I really “needed” was the engine block heater. 😂 that should come in handy this winter!

    Your ZR2 must have sat on the lot at the factory right next to mine LOL! Same color even. I just received mine 4 days ago, roughly 2 months after I saw the listing at the dealership. In Transit means its parked somewhere waiting for parts I guess...

      We should start a club! Blue ZR2’s only!

    I picked up a fully loaded w/moonroof, wheel locks, paint protection, and tint '24 Colorado ZR2 in the blue on March 16th for the $53k MSRP. Having had great luck with my 2010 V6 AWD RAV4 (212k miles with minimal issues but sadly totaled 5 days ago by a drunk driver) I originally wanted a new Tacoma. But sadly, STILL no front locker (FAIL) and a $12k premium for the TuRD Pro over the ZR2 (plus now the shock bumpstop issues) nixed that. Then I considered the Ranger Raptor, but it was $6k more AND you'd pay a $5k-$10k "markup. So, I got the ZR2 and LOVE it. I'm a noob offroader and wanted the most capability I could get (no front locker was a deal breaker) because I always go out alone and need that extra capability to make sure I get home. I'm more of an overlanding guy (though I don't camp) vs rock-crawly guy, and this is perfect for me. I have 8,340mi on it now including a recent 3,700 mile trip in 11 days in early Aug (17.3 mpg total average including all the wheeling at 10mpg and 85mph highway speeds into massive headwind in WY!) from the Southwest all the way North up to do 2 full days in Glacier National Park, and on down to do 1-1/2 solid days of wheeling in Moab before heading home. In mid-April with 740 miles on the clock I did a full 3-1/2 days of wheeling in Moab, and then a couple of months ago did 1/2 day in the Front Range in CO while going "home" to visit a friend. So far, I've only had a few weird minor software glitches (adaptive cruise control stopped working a couple times, and had one bad valve stem leading to low pressure, so that was replaced free by Discount Tire even though it was an OEM issue (you RAWK!). I usually average about 18-18.5 CALCULATED mpg in mixed driving and have even seen one short tank (in Glacier) at 21.5 calculated mpg! I HIGHLY recommend one if you want a great truck and don't need the extra 95hp (and massive increase in cost) of the 'Raptor (which you CAN'T get a moonroof in). Looks weren't a huge issue for me for purchasing reasons, but, that said, I DO think the ZR2 looks WAY better than either, so, that's just a bonus. With the increased price over even the 'Raptor AND the lack of front locker, AND the shock/lack of real bumpstop problems, the Tacoma wasn't even on my radar. And before you blather on about "reliability", look at the TFL vid where they grenaded the front diff AND all the vids about shock issues.

      I'm telling you, we should start a blue ZR2 club!
