One of the best ZR2 reviews I have seen. As one of the other comments for this video, I'll repeat: the money was spent on the suspension. And I'll add ....the front locker...and if so equipped, the diesel. Nothing else has the feature set, capabilities and plush, controlled 'on road' ride. Thank you; your personality and presentation are grand.
I bought my ZR2, not because it is better than the raptor at dune running. Just like I didn't buy it because it can rock crawl better than Wrangler Rubicon either. I bought it because it can do raptor things better than the jeep can, and it can do jeep things better than the raptor can. Needed a truck, so the Wrangler was already a no. I got my ZR2 all in for $44900 (CDN), roughly half the cost of a Gladiator Rubicon, and like 40% the cost of a Raptor. Pick the truck that fits your needs and wants (and your wife's budget limits), and go for it. But bang for the buck, definitely sits with the ZR2. At least in the off-road truck market.
@@Qmocean I have a ZR2 and a Jeep Rubicon,there is no way the ZR2 out performs the Rubicon rock crawling . There’s a video of a guy taking the ZR2to the Rubicon. The thing was trashed after that. I did the Rubicon in my jeep and it was hard on my jeep.I love my ZR2 but I would never take it on the Rubicon without major upgrades. Just my 2 cents.
I have an 18' Z71 here since new. It has been nothing short of amazing for the first 50k miles. Great for payload, towing, family hauler, and commute! I have a R-pod 193 travel trailer too that it pulls very well.
Bein’ a GM guy, just downgraded last week from a 2012 GMC Sierra 5.3L that I had put 185mi on & bein’ my own mechanic, she ran excellent from day one. Decided to go with my all time midsize dream, a ‘19 ZR2 3.6L with 40k mi. Great truck & already doin’ mods. However, I do miss my dual exhaust with glass packs & 5” tips on the Sierra. Nothin’ better than that V8 sound, but this lil truck is a start of a new adventure!
Zed R2; Deffinately on my dream list. The styling is just fantastic as is it's off road ability. Always liked the Colorado, but love it in ZR2 trim. And it's deffinately Zed R2 here in Canada unless you're not a proud Canadian or you're a yank👍(but even then it's still Zed here lol) 🇨🇦
Good review man. Thanks. You definitely hit on all the same points most do... Pros and Cons. I agree with some of the cons for what I paid for my '21. A 'different' interior would have been nice. My 2014 Silverado had the exact same interior. For the price of the ZR2, the 'cons' can easily be overlooked.
I have a 2020 ZR2 Orange crush with black trim about 20 years ago I had a new 2000 BLUE GMC SONOMA extended cab ZR2 SOLD it 7 years later 😭 had to no room for a baby car seat i am 49 years old now and I love the new ZR2 it is a lot more truck than my Sonoma ZR2 was I every way
Wish it offered a front facing camera. Anyone know why it doesn't? I would agree on the negative points you mentioned.. for the money I feel like it should offer those things it doesn't. Awesome truck though for what it is.
Too bad G. M. pays No Attention to customers desires. Great truck ,EXCEPT , it needs a sun-roof option, at LEAST 1 lighter color interior, And the ability to run 33" tires (for better looks And road clearance) Open up the wheel-wells !!! Their main competitor, the jeep Gladiator, beats them on All these items ! But, Chevy makes an all-around better truck !
Forgetting the interesting truck for a moment, this is a well done, informative video. But with the obtrusive advertising content from UA-cam is really takes some patience to work through it. What a terrible job, UA-cam.
I think a better comparison will be Toyota Tacoma. They are in the same class. Ford Raptor is a full size truck with different suspension and powertrain.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!👎👎👎👎👎😬👎😬👎👎Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluff
Zr2 will out climb and out crawl a Raptor.
2022 Colorado ZR2 ordered. Should have it by the end of December, hopefully.
I'm envious.

For my needs and wants, even the taco TRD/P or frontier pro4x would have been better choices than the raptor.

Sub'd. Brilliant review of the Zr2, one of the best on YT imo. Exactly the way I feel about my Zr2.
Thanks for the sub Josh. Lots more coming soon.

Thumbs up if you already have a ZR2 and love it!
Fantastic content and energy, you just got yer'self a new sub bruh! 50k hard miles on my '17 ZR2 now, not all trouble free however. Still a beast
Thanks for the sub! Always happy to hear from owners. Lots more coming soon.
Such a well made video! Nice work!
Thank you!

The roof of the ZR2 is structurally designed for rollover protection being a true off road vehicle, hence no moonroof option.
its awesome just the way it is . less modern expensive electronic crap to break. needs to stay just the way it is

It's been calling my name and I listen !
It’s not zet-r-2 it’s ZR 2 period.......

No colorado comes with a sunroof I was told when I purchased my 21' Z71.
ZR2 are nice and everything but i don't think it will be good as raptor but the way you review it i feel to have one hahah

Are you a Zed-R2 or Zee-R2 person?
Especially with some fairly minor modifications like a leveling kit and 33s
zee
Its a USDM truck... so its ZEE.
Zee
@@rowdyprouty9478 but we're in Canada so it's zed as we use Canadian English here lol.
Ok I was going to watch your videos but in the first 3 minutes you said zed R2 about 4 times . That was enough for me … how lame is that … lmao 🤣
Is he matching the truck on purpose?
ZR2 doesn't have dual zone climate option.
Too bad it didn't come with round wheel wells like the hot wheels truck
First view and like
Dont cut your hair🤣... suits u 👍🏻
Forgetting the interesting truck for a moment, this is a well done, informative video. But with the obtrusive advertising content from UA-cam is really takes some patience to work through it. What a terrible job, UA-cam.
Entire truck is awesome, but the rims don't fit the personality of the truck. The rims look like they should be on the luxury edition.
I think a better comparison will be Toyota Tacoma. They are in the same class. Ford Raptor is a full size truck with different suspension and powertrain.
The ZR2 vs Frontier PRO-4X video is coming out on Jan 22, 2021! Hopefully we can add a Tacoma one day soon. Stay tuned!
"Bob's you're uncle." You stole that from a kiwi. Stop doing that.
No. Stop comparing them as they are not comparable.

Not comparable to a raptor.
Your right. I was out in Johnson Valley California off-road in with six Raptors and six ZR2. All ran the Baja type trails.
When we came to the rock crawling not one raptor would try it.
Zee R2. Zeed sounds lame and weak.
