@@goldengamer8838 Bingo. Going to be a very hard sale for GM when customers are cross-shopping this to a Raptor because they're virtually the same price.
@@goldengamer8838 the zr2 comes pretty much fully loaded at that base price though vs a raptor that would have cloth seats and none of the luxuries. Start putting options on a raptor and that price will shoot up
@@goldengamer8838 I did. That's the starting price though is my point. To get a raptor equipped like the zr2 it would be closer to 80 whereas a loaded zr2 is like 72. I still think that is too small of a gap, but its worth noting
Agreed. Learned a lot about trucks and I just purchased a Tacoma. Thanks for the info and entertainment. Being from MI, it’s cool to see trucks perform in environments I’d see and be in first hand
I think the ZR2 is more for the average outdoors owner and that selectable front and rear locker puts it in a class all it's own. I don't desert race so I dont need the wide body trucks, but I could sure use those lockers at the boat ramp, deer lease or in the sand at the beach.
Going to be a very hard sale for GM when it's priced nearly identical to a Raptor, but more equipped like a Tremor. I think GM should've offered the 3.0L inline-six diesel in this truck and priced it about 8 thousand or 9 thousand dollars cheaper.
@@plutosrealm4594 not really the ZR2 is about 10% less than a Raptor. A ZR2 can be had for about 67K MSRP and a similarity equipped Raptor goes for 72-74K MSRP.
@@davidporter7051 It should be priced about 25-30% less than a Raptor. It's not in the same league. The only thing that would appeal someone to buy a ZR2 over a Raptor at remotely the same price point would've been the 3.0L Duramax option...and it's not there.
Would love to see a side by side comparo between the full size ZR2 and the full size Z71 or Trail Boss, just to see what you're actually getting over the lesser trims.
The only thing I think of real difference is the Multmatic spool valve shocks. It does have all the lockers, not sure if trailboss has that. Not worth the price increase, unless you really want to be special. Chevy missed the mark, no 35s and no upgraded engine.
@@pete4261 I wouldn't disagree with you if it were cheaper. But at 75k come on. If they put the supercharged comaro ZL1 engine in it think how awesome that would be. Yes I am unashamedly one of those that wanted a Chevy super truck.
@@pete4261 exactly. Listen to this guy. Good luck finding a Raptor or TRX at 70-75k, if you do it has nothing on it. You can find a well equipped ZR2 for 68-70k
The pricing makes sense only in Canadian dollars. That's a very big difference in starting price. For the U.S. market, the raptor is only $1k more ( not including dealer markups 😐) which makes this truck way less compelling. Nice video guys.
It needs to be about $10k less than it is to be compelling. The Raptor/TRX have heavily modified frames and vastly different suspension setups. This looks like a regular 1500 suspension with a lift and dampers. And let's be honest. People pay big money for Raptors because of the image, not because they need a Baja truck. For the most part this just looks like a regular Silverado with a lift and some all terrains.
I would assume the reason Raptors in US dollars is so low compared to CAD dollar is due to options selected? For Canadian market, a lot of times some trims come with pretty loaded already.
Also the chevy has way more options at that price then the raptor does at its base. They are absolutely in different classes but the chevy has a niche. Those dssv shocks are really good.
Tremor is comparable to the TrailBoss and AT4; not the ZR2. ZR2 has an entirely different caliber of shocks, etc. The ZR2, doesn't really have a comparable Ford. It sits between the Tremor and Raptor. I personally think that is the sweet spot. I prefer a standard width over the widebodies to fit down the narrow trails we drive. ZR2 won't be quite as good at high speed desert or big whoops, but fair trade off for me. The stock width and high end shocks are the sweet spot for my needs. Now, if they just do something similar on the HD Silverado. Hoping the rumors of a HD ZR2 are real.
@@freedomisntfree_44 Equipped like a Tremor, priced like a Raptor. Hard sale for GM dealers. I think this truck is at least $8k too much. The biggest miss to me is GM not offering the 3.0L inline-six diesel as an engine option for the ZR2.
Chevy found an empty slot in the truck market aaaaaand nailed it! This is a winner even though this is the only truck in that spot. With the towing and payload numbers this is about the perfect half ton truck.
@@MrChadx1 I’d say the trail boss competes with the fx4. This is direct competition for the tremor. Tremor is also faster and has a way better payload and towing while being able to do the same thing.
@@freedomisntfree_44 FX4 is the same as the Silverado Z71 Offroad Package. FX4 does not have a factory lift like the Tremor and TrailBoss/AT4. Tremor and TrailBoss/AT4 are positioned above the FX4 and Z71. Tremor has "tuned shocks" like the TrailBoss/AT4. ZR2 has electronically controlled shocks so is a higher level than the Tremor/TrailBoss/AT4.
I have a 2023 ZR2 6.2L and I think it is a great truck I use for work as an agricultural consultant. I’m always driving 100 miles one way to get to my customers, then off road for 8-10 hours, then back 100 miles. It goes anywhere off road, mud, ditches, tall weeds, tilled fields, and center pivot irrigation tracks. Drives nice on hiway. No issues at 7K miles.
As the former owner of a Trail Boss and the current owner of a Raptor, the answer to the title question is NO. Until GM understands that tire companies make tires larger than 33" they will never compete with Raptors or TRX's.
Nice to see Andre make a cameo appearance. This Silverado has a nicer looking front than some other Silverados I have seen. Those red tow hooks 🪝 should add to the top speed. Maybe Toyota could add some to the new Tundra. Howard looked like a KING IN THAT TRUCK.
Chevy managed to make a legit off-road focused truck that doesn't sacrifice any practicality. If you lived with a half ton truck, this is just another truck but with more goodies. No extra questions about parking or road size. No major sacrifices to fuel economy or fuel grade (runs regular). Still tows well and the payload is on par with any well equipped half ton. This really is the sweet spot. Other brands should be paying attention. The only real criticism I have is the price. It's within spitting distance of a raptor. Can't wait to see a full review! Great video Truck King crew!
I really like this truck, I want a TRX but can't afford one and want a V8 so current raptor out of the question and the raptor R is said to be higher price so same boat at the TRX so this is a great compromise, also love the good relationship with TFL lol like the cross over
As you are Canadian it is “zed” not “zee”. Also, while mileage with the 6.2 may be similar to the 5.3 the cost is more because the 6.2 requires premium.
took my colorado zr2 with my brothers trailboss his truck was digging itself due to the auto locking differential and he had better tires meanwhile my stock zr2 with a push of a button for the lockers traveled through the trails with zero issue. so yes a silverado zr2 would surpass a trailboss.
Price competition is always a good thing. But if you’re not settling for less than a super truck then price is no object. For most people $25k is a big difference. It’s a whole second vehicle!
@@DRCrimeCircle I have only put about 9000 miles on my truck. With the 6.2 L and 10 speed it is fun to drive. The only issue I have had is XM. They first replaced antenna and then the radio. No problems since then.
I don't think undercutting the Raptor by only a 1k is enough to make it as competitive. I think low 60k would make more sense. And allow furore room for a wide body with a supercharged 6.2 and lift to hit between the Raptor and TRX.
Kinda good thinking for GM. My biggest (and only) complaint with the Raptor and Fiats TRX is it’s too wide unless you live out in the desert. Since I had so so many problems with GM and the Multi-Matic dampers I went to try the Ford Tremor. Since I had good luck with the Raptors. I am excited to get my paws on the ZR2 Silverado to drive though. Great review , great truck !!
This is a great truck that Chevrolet designed, maybe when Ford puts the 5.0 supercharged in the Raptor, maybe then GM will put the supercharged 6.2 from the Camaro ZL1…
Definitely overpriced. This truck is not even close in off-road capabilities as a Raptor, yet it's priced the same. Hard sale for GM dealers to folks who are cross-shopping the two.
It's going to be interesting to see what dealers will actually charge for the ZR2. I wouldn't be surprised if actual selling prices are negligibly close for Chevy, Ford, and RAM.
This does seem like a nice package in a full-size truck. Here in Ohio, we have tight, narrow, muddy trails, so the compact Colorado ZR2 would be a more practical choice for an off-road pickup.
Still nervous about the lifter failures in the 6.2 and 5.3. Wouldn’t buy either personally just due to that failure rate. That’s why I went with the 21 Silverado with the 2.7
Nice truck, but to me the tires look too small. Needs a minimum of 35’s put on it. Would look and perform better. 37’s even more. You know it’s gonna happen. You’d think the manufacturers would figure that out and offer it from the factory. The Raptor has a 37” option.
If they aren't going to add anything under the hood, I think the raised hood needs to go. It's compromising sight lines for no reason. Other than that, I want one.
I really like this truck & it occupies a good price point for those not looking to get into a Raptor or TRX. It helps that the exterior & interior design are both more pleasing than the new Tundra TRD Pro as well. New Tundra is flat-out hideous, so the choice for me is either the GMC or this. 👍🏻
This has been my biggest issue with some of the fun or higher level trims. All are only in crew cab short beds. No doublecab standard beds. Silverado High Country, ZR2 and Sierra AT4 and up. Same with HD. High Country and AT4 only in crew cab and not doublecab. Both have standard beds, but that stretches the Crew Cab wheelbase and overall length too long for the overlanding I do. Always forced to buy lower trims and add aftermarket rather than buy the cool or high end factory trims, unfortunately, because they are not offered in double cabs.
Yah, a regular cab short bed is what Chevy should have led with. It would have been different, exciting, and original. They could have introduced it with an original bright red 1994 Chevy S10 ZR2 which only came in a regular cab short bed. Instead, it appears GM is chasing the competition. I am not impressed at all with their attempt at a full size ZR2.
It’s only issue is the price is 70k for this truck which is entering raptor territory. Actually it’s real comparison is the Ford Tremor I think, they’re both designed for an all around off roader as opposed to just a desert runner
People also forget Ford offers the Raptor in a more basic XLT trim; all the off-road goodies without the luxury features. It would be the same price as the ZR2.
@@SKiiTTLe5 if Chevy is marketing it as their top off roader then price for price it competes with the Raptor not Tremor. If you’re looking for an all around off roader at a lower price the Rebel and Tremor offer similar capabilities.
@@khakiswag yeah I was comparing them per capabilities not price or because they’re both the top off-roaders. Chevy doesn’t really have a raptor, it would be cool if they came up with one soon
Looks like a nice V8 full size 4x4 without being too over the top. Never really considered owning a Chevy but I do like what I see here. Similar pricing to the 22 Toyota TRD Pro, if you could get the same reliability then this would be a real contender for me.
I don’t think a bad batch or turbos and infotainment issues on a all new truck are equal to over a decade of collapsing lifters, oil burning and transmissions made of glass.
In Europe, we start to watch more Canadian stuff on YT. Since there's kilometres, meters, centimeters for cubic liters, lengthes, widths and heights in Canadian uploads.
Love the video. I agree the ZR2 is the sensible one, makes it easy to daily drive, will undercut the price of most of the others you will find of dealer lots, and the 6.2 is going to be the easiest to use on the trail, not too intimidating. I would easily get intimidated taking a TRX on a trail, desert running, not so much
I love this truck, no I don't think it's better then the competition but I believe it stacks up nicely. Like they said it doesn't have 800 hp for a reason.
I like it. I like the Colorado ZR2. Bought a Z71 Colorado because the ZR2 took a “hit” on towing. If I had one, it wouldn’t spend its entire life on road. I would take it off road. Still expensive.
5:30 but people said you can’t turn locked up… LOL I have no issue turning with my front locked up and no one seems to believe me, we’ll no one with experience using a front locker.
Perfect place to test the ZR2! I think Chevy will sell a ton of these. I like that they didn’t go overboard and compromise for on road. Chevy nailed it with this ZR2 to give most consumers what they will actually want and use. The 6.2L is plenty of engine. Front and rear lockers makes this a capable off roader. Love seeing you and Andre on some reviews together again!
Are you going to get one back at home to run it through mud trails that you did with the Colorado ZR2 and Toyota Tacoma pro would like to see that Silverado ZR2 go up against the new Toyota Tundra
I love the 1st part of that when Andre came over and blocked them that was epic🤣😂😂🤣🤣

Agreed. Learned a lot about trucks and I just purchased a Tacoma. Thanks for the info and entertainment. Being from MI, it’s cool to see trucks perform in environments I’d see and be in first hand
ZR2 compares to a TRD pro or tremor. Raptor and TRX is in another league
I’d even go so far as to say that the ZR2 is better than the Tremor
TrailBoss and AT4 are Tremor competitors. ZR2 is above Tremor and below Raptor in suspension/performance.
The new Tundra is not on the same level as this truck & Toyota will remain 5th place in sales behind GMC.

I would love to see some some TFL and Truck King team ups if possible. I do miss yall cutting up with Andrey and Nathan.
Would be cool to see other configurations like a regular cab short bed or something.
This has been my biggest issue with some of the fun or higher level trims. All are only in crew cab short beds. No doublecab standard beds. Silverado High Country, ZR2 and Sierra AT4 and up. Same with HD. High Country and AT4 only in crew cab and not doublecab. Both have standard beds, but that stretches the Crew Cab wheelbase and overall length too long for the overlanding I do. Always forced to buy lower trims and add aftermarket rather than buy the cool or high end factory trims, unfortunately, because they are not offered in double cabs.
Yah, a regular cab short bed is what Chevy should have led with. It would have been different, exciting, and original. They could have introduced it with an original bright red 1994 Chevy S10 ZR2 which only came in a regular cab short bed. Instead, it appears GM is chasing the competition. I am not impressed at all with their attempt at a full size ZR2.
It’s only issue is the price is 70k for this truck which is entering raptor territory. Actually it’s real comparison is the Ford Tremor I think, they’re both designed for an all around off roader as opposed to just a desert runner
People also forget Ford offers the Raptor in a more basic XLT trim; all the off-road goodies without the luxury features. It would be the same price as the ZR2.
@@khakiswag they do?! I never knew that haha
@@SKiiTTLe5 if Chevy is marketing it as their top off roader then price for price it competes with the Raptor not Tremor. If you’re looking for an all around off roader at a lower price the Rebel and Tremor offer similar capabilities.
@@khakiswag yeah I was comparing them per capabilities not price or because they’re both the top off-roaders. Chevy doesn’t really have a raptor, it would be cool if they came up with one soon
I’m really excited to see the AEV Bison version of this truck. It could be an excellent rig for a family of 4 right out of the box.
Looks like a nice V8 full size 4x4 without being too over the top.
Never really considered owning a Chevy but I do like what I see here. Similar pricing to the 22 Toyota TRD Pro, if you could get the same reliability then this would be a real contender for me.
22 tundra is not reliable
Perhaps the Silverado has beaten Toyota in reliability. The new Tundra has issues.
I don’t think a bad batch or turbos and infotainment issues on a all new truck are equal to over a decade of collapsing lifters, oil burning and transmissions made of glass.
22 tundra TRD pro couldn’t keep up with the ZR2
Send it! Really test those internal jounce bumpers :)
Man chevy is putting out some sweet trucks
In Europe, we start to watch more Canadian stuff on YT. Since there's kilometres, meters, centimeters for cubic liters, lengthes, widths and heights in Canadian uploads.
USA-1
TFL..its your brother from another mother..its all good 👍
Great review as usual! Love your channel. Keep up the great work. 🇨🇦
Thanks so much!
I need this truck!!!
Hoping that GM puts a ZR2 package in the HD models. Like ford did with their Tremor package.
GMC did it with the AT4. Wonder if they will bring it to the heavy duties as well
Some 35’s and push the wheels out a wee bit!
Your reviews are fun and informative!
It's insane to me that GM didn't put the ZR2 on 35" tires. Those 33" tires look tiny on that truck.
Ive never seen people complain so much over 2 inches 😆🤣
Love the video. I agree the ZR2 is the sensible one, makes it easy to daily drive, will undercut the price of most of the others you will find of dealer lots, and the 6.2 is going to be the easiest to use on the trail, not too intimidating. I would easily get intimidated taking a TRX on a trail, desert running, not so much
More nanies to get me access to the lockers, make them available in bigh range or even two wheel drive.
Great video guys. Love to see how it tows in one of your follow-up videos when you get a chance to test it up here in the Great White North.
Man where are you guys at Palmdale or Lancaster
Love the opening 😂🤣🤣😂😂
I love this truck, no I don't think it's better then the competition but I believe it stacks up nicely. Like they said it doesn't have 800 hp for a reason.
I like it. I like the Colorado ZR2. Bought a Z71 Colorado because the ZR2 took a “hit” on towing. If I had one, it wouldn’t spend its entire life on road. I would take it off road. Still expensive.
5:30 but people said you can’t turn locked up… LOL I have no issue turning with my front locked up and no one seems to believe me, we’ll no one with experience using a front locker.
Best. Intro. Ever.
Perfect place to test the ZR2! I think Chevy will sell a ton of these. I like that they didn’t go overboard and compromise for on road. Chevy nailed it with this ZR2 to give most consumers what they will actually want and use. The 6.2L is plenty of engine. Front and rear lockers makes this a capable off roader.
Love seeing you and Andre on some reviews together again!
Love the Blue Jays hat! Go Jays Go! Btw that truck is sweet!
The main question is can you fit 35s on it? Some comments are saying that they 35s will his the front skid plate so not sure….
Love the Truck. Like that its very capable and affordable relative to the competetion.
Love this review and great truck
Good video guys ( im not and André fan, too show off ) I really like that truck! Good game for the blue jays, yesterday
You guys are awesome
Are you going to get one back at home to run it through mud trails that you did with the Colorado ZR2 and Toyota Tacoma pro would like to see that Silverado ZR2 go up against the new Toyota Tundra
