Is it fair to compare the Silverado 1500 ZR2 to the F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX, or is it fine as a stand-alone truck? Tell us which one fits your off-roading style in the comments below - edmu.in/38RQith
It’s in an odd no man’s land. It doesn’t compare to the Raptor or TRX for desert running (thankfully. Because, yes, the wide bodies look absolutely amazing on those two, they’re a headache to park in a city, and their width makes them impractical for most off road trails that more often than not, are narrow.). But you can’t compare it to the Tremor, Rebel or Tundra TRD because none of them have true locking front diffs, nor advanced suspension systems like the DSSV shocks. Plus two of them have sad sounding TT V6s. It’s neither fish nor fowl. I ordered one because I need a full size truck for adventuring and didn’t want a wide body or a gas guzzler supercharged V8, but I’m legitimately pissed that they made it difficult to simply add 35’s. That’s horse shit.
@@keewatin427 I see what your saying, but the tremor gets that torsion front diff that probably makes for a more dynamic experience in inclement weather. It also gets some other cool tech features that stack pretty closely to the Zr2. They all have their gimmicks, but the shock setup on the zr2 isn’t enough to forsake larger tires for me. I love the 6.2, but the fact that it’s slower than the ecoboost kills me. You can’t convince me that it’s worth the sticker price... and personally Idc how it sounds when it comes to high performance. I had a trail boss and liked it a lot, but I was able to flip it for a quick 5g’s... now I have a 5.0 v8 new f-150 and it’s really a solid value to build a truck on. The tech and locking diff alone make it a better experience than the trail boss in day to day driving. I imagine the tremor to zr2 is a similar story. I just don’t see the value in buying either when the raptor is right there in cost.
@@itsmejongee if the Tremor had the Coyote 5.0 or the 7.3 Godzilla, I’d totally love it, but the torsen front diff isn’t a true locker, and the DSSV shocks are too advanced to hand wave away. I absolutely agree that the ZR2 costs $6000 to much, and I’m super pissed that I’m going to have to do some cutting to get 35’s to fit in the wheel wells, but I can live with that. And I’m sorry, I know the EcoBoosts are super powerful and have amazing gas mileage, but you have to live with that pathetic sounding engine note. Add all the trumpet bends to the exhaust you want, it still sounds lame next to a classic V8 burble. I’d take the hit on fuel costs to not feel like a jerk when I step on the gas pedal.
I ordered a ZR2 a few weeks ago - left Ford due to a flurry of 'wearable items' on an extended warranty truck - I love the REAL content you guys provide - albeit the ZR2 in this video didn't score great. Let's face it though - MOST people aren't doing any serious off roading with any production truck - even the Raptors and TRX....it's all for on-road chest beating. I pretty much LIVED in our local 'Mojave Dessert' friday night to sunday night for the last 10 years - hundreds of people daily, having a blast in the sand dunes/hills/trails....less than 10% are in ANY new truck...and when a new truck came in, people would all snicker and think he was a moron for bringing in a new truck....sadly judgemental. Regardless, no feelings were hurt, and the new trucks would do a lap or two - then leave. The old 'beaters' would be there the whole weekend - 35" - 37" tires, lifted trucks, loud exhausts, people fixing and wrenching and generally having a great time. I think the ZR2 is a good choice for me - likely to do a level kit and swap of tires - my first GM product since 2001 - Ford's service and maintenance costs are outrageous and a total scam. Fingers crossed the GM doesn't have the lifters issue or anything serious - otherwise, it'll be an embarrassment to face my Ford group. lolol
I think GM should have used the exact same formula as they did with the Colorado. Made it wider, diesel option, option for bigger tires, rock rails standard. They also should have tucked those shock towers inward like they did on the (next gen) Colorado ZR2. However, since this only a mid cycle refresh, they'll probably have a more aggressive version come next generation Silverado. Let's hope because in my opinion this is just a Trailboss with trick shocks and f/r lockers.
about the not recommending for the 35's is because they're coming out with off-road performance parts that will be able to handle those 35's. That's what the Hall Racing team has been racing with and they run 35's. Think of what they did for the Colorado
Great review, very balanced and nuanced. Most other reviews just tout all the good things and skip the negatives or minimize them. I must admit I was put off a bit because I really want to like this truck enough to purchase it. I have a 2020 Raptor and I have the itch for a change. However the things you pointed out are enough to make me pause and keep looking at other options. Great job.
So I just got off the Chevy site to price one out, and mine came to $72k, with 2 options (rock rails & infotainment pkg). Similarly equipped raptor was $75k. Save your money and get a Trail Boss w/ the 6.2L
@@julioorozco801 I got a '22 4Runner TRD Off Road, instead of the Pro. Like the Trail boss/ZR2 comparison, it's about 90% of the same vehicle. I think the ZR2 is for the fanboys, like the TRD Pro is for the 4Runner
Interesting that you mention 35s. Alex on Autos said, in his review, that Chevy told him 35s would fit just fine. Anyways, almost anytime you put larger tires on a truck, you're either going to need a lift or some trimming.
Yes, no 35" tires its a big deal. They should have thought of that, but I've seen GM say they have heard from their customers. Guess they don't listen to potential new customers.
catching up to what? the TRX and the Raptor are a different kind of off road vehicles and the ZR2 is not intended to compete with them in off road situations
@@bobhirdes6725 interior, camera systems that Ford has had for years, overall Tech to make off roading much better. But yet you get the same 6.2 no changes (which is a solid engine or has-been until lately), but is only maybe $5k cheaper than a Raptor. You can get a Tremor loaded that has the raptor transfer case and other components for less. I would say it would be a better match against the Tremor. Just my take.
@@kevingoins4542 so What, but what you want but don’t try and put the ZR2 in the Raptor or TRX class because it is not intended to compete with the raptor or TRX Maybe someday GM will make a raptor or TRX type of truck but right now they don’t
@@bobhirdes6725 I appreciate you making my point for me. As I stated in my opening comment the ZR2 is not a Raptor or a TRX so no comparison and should not be compared . Also as you stated someday GM might compete with Ford and Ram with their version of a TRX. Someday is the defintion of always being behind in the truck game. That is my frustration with GM and as a current owner of a GMC Denali 1500, it seems i continue to get less for my $$$ with GM as they try to sell a quazi updates We will see if the ZR2 can launch with out any major problems and can compete in the real world for reliability , resell value and overall customer satisfation. I appreciate your opion.
If I were to spend this kind of money on a truck, it would be the Raptor. Much cheaper than a TRX but very capable. But I went the cheaper and dependable route and ordered a Toyota 4Runner. I know if I take care of it, the chances of breaking down are slim to none. And I’m saving 20-30k.
This isn't the 80s or 90s anymore. Toyota is no better than Ford or GM. They all mass produce over-priced junk. I mean come on; tell me you sit down to pee without telling me you sit down to pee.
I feel this is more on par with the F-150 tremor when fully equipped with the front locking diff and 33' tires. I know the Silverado has the trail boss but I don't think the ZR2 is on par with the raptor and trx. It has a beautiful interior though.
I think there's nothing wrong with fitting the Territory MTs as standard; the TRX is fitted with those tires as well. If Chevy went with a slightly less aggressive tire, people would complain the tires aren't aggressive enough. Also, Chevy definitely couldn't afford to go with less aggressive rubber considering they're only 33s.
No way should the ZR2 be compared with the TRX and Raptor. Edmunds says that all 3 are around the same price, but that simply isn't true from a practical perspective. While the ZR2 and Raptor have pretty close MSRPs, try getting a Raptor at MSRP. They are in such high demand that dealers are marking them up by $20k! And the TRX shouldn't be in the same conversation, because they start at a near $90k MSRP and dealers are marking them up to $115k because of the demand. The ZR2 is a practical, capable pickup. Its not a Raptor or a TRX competitor.
Ummmmm, did anyone notice the flat gray ZR2 in the background? 2:56 Just wondering if Chevy will offer that as a color now??? Excited about the ZR2, but I am still thinking a Trail Boss with the 6.2L is a better deal.
13:22 I think it's amusing that the truck that they acknowledge is made for rock crawling should be delivered with "all-terrain tires", as a poor set of tires would compromise such rock-crawling ability. Sure, they could have fit 35's, but if the "Edmunds stance" is that all terrain tires would "expand the appeal", then why not just recommend buying a regular Silverado and adding all the off-road bits if you want them?
Not the for the price tag, this is what the trail boss should have been, and then the ZR2 version couldve been a larger version that actually compares to the raptor.
I take delivery on my ZR2 this Friday. I'm trading in my LT Trail Boss. Summit White, Sunroof, Rocker protectors, Flex gate, and Tech package... $72500.
now u nit picking a lil to much there cause ram or ford have alot more plastic things that u dont point out , but everybody always finds something on chevy to point out , u got to have u limit sometime now
You're just assuming M/T stands for mud terrain, those are ALL TERRAIN tires, the M and T stand for maximum traction according to Goodyear. You mentioned the tires several several times, super annoying when you were wrong the whole time, they're just as aggressive looking as the K02 and those are an All Terrain too.
@@RyanZumMallen Then your sales rep is misinformed, the guy racing the truck for team Chevy mentioned they're AT and go look at Goodyear's info on their website, they very clearly explain they're all season and all terrain. The MT stands for Maximum Traction.
@@RyanZumMallen Neat, still think he's wrong considering the Goodyear website, you know, the company that makes the tire. Weird he'd be telling you that they're mud terrain
This seems more like a Ford Tremor competitor than a Raptor or TRX competitor. No way is Chevy saying they can compete with standard 37 inch tires on a raptor vs. 33's on the ZR2. This is a perfect compromise between a trail boss and a Raptor type truck. If this were Goldilocks it would be just right. I just bought the 2022 refreshed GMC AT4 and the same mud terrain tires come on that truck and they are LOUD and completely obnoxious. I will replace the tires immediately as they are horribly intrusive and save them for the few times when I need them. The new interior is a MAJOR step up and can now compete with Dodge and Ford.
I drove mine home the other day. Mostly highway ~ 135 miles. Kept my speed down during engine break-in 55-68 mph. Pulling into my driveway I was at 20.7 mpg. Just driving it around town the past couple days I'm high 16s low 17s.
@@sethperry6210 don't quote me, but I think the sticker advertises 16 city / 18 highway. Numbers are great right now, but I'm babying it. I fully expect the mileage to go down once I cross 500 miles and stop driving like granny :)
You have some honest input but you got this comparison fundamentally wrong. GM obviously did not build this to compete with Raptor and TRX This is just an AT4 for the Chevy guys I have never dig the high country So this gives us Chevy guys something to sink our teeth into Meanwhile yes for those of you that want a fancy off-road truck that is going to see very little off-road if any This satisfies that itch for $30K less
I know this is an old vid, but I kinda get tired of the comparison to the Raptor and TREX… Chevy says they are not competing with them… their competitors in this space are the TRD Pro and Tremor… of which, the ZR2 favors VERY nicely… I wish folks would actually compare them to their actual competitors… this is like comparing Jerry Rice to a really good college receiver… they are in different leagues.
if i was going to spend 70 grand, i would go with a ram or ford at least that way i would be able to come a little closer to getting my money's worth, but you dang sure ain't getting your money's worth with this chevy.
This should come equipped with at least 37 inch tires from the factory for that price. Who is Chevy trying to impress with those little tires on an "off road" vehicle? Maybe suckers with a fat bank account looking for bragging rights at the office? I'm not impressed...for all that money a person still has to make a huge investment to make this truck capable off road.
This is the best and most straight up review of the Silverado ZR2. Cmon GM, you expect the public to pay the same price of a Raptor and get a truck that has 33 inch tires and not have the ability to even put 35's on it unless you lift it up another 3 inches and then void the warranty because the shock and suspension geometry is comprised!!!. Anyone watching Truck King and TFL are simply viewing reviews conducted by BOOTLICKERS.
You buy a ZR2 and the truck displayed in the dash is not even a ZR2. Just a regular Silverado. Can the people working over at GM really be this stupid, hard to believe. Lastly, the reason they cannot fit larger tires is because they never redesigned the wheel openings. You have to lift it another 2 inches to get 34's on it. Cool looking front end, that's about it.
