He lost me when he described the suspension as "the suspension system in yellow... beautiful". Dude doesn't know anything about the vehicle he is reviewing.
Here is the real story. Bought a ZR2 today, list price $73k no mark up. Monday went to a local Ford dealership that advertised they had two Raptors in the lot, listed $78k & $81k got to the dealership both had additional $20k market adjustment. I don’t care how much better the Raptor is it’s not worth getting ripped off for and it’s not $30k better. I didn’t look at the TRX.
The zr2 isn’t a completer to a trx or raptor it’s just a good off roading truck in its own category, it mainly competes with Toyota Tundra trd pro and ford tremor and maybe a Ram rebel. But it’s a good truck it has lockers & good enough power. If you want luxury just upgrade to a gmc serria at4x. 😎 I think General Motors is doing an awesome job with Cadillac, gmc & Chevy they’re stepping it up ⬆️ so keep it up 👍
I think they did a bad job on the zr2 it's basically a ZR1 with a few upgrades. They should just called it ZR1 an the zr2 should of been a baja style to complete with TRX an raptor. I love Chevy but I'm disappointed they haven't done a baja style yet cuz that what I'm looking for but don't want go with ford or ram
I bought a ZR2 Silverado, absolutely love it, V8, lockers, I humiliated a buddy of mine in some crazy stuff up in mountains, he has the Gen 3 Raptor, my truck was also cheaper than his.
The ZR2 is just a bit more capable than the models you mentioned. It's really in a class of its own the closest competitor is the Tremor. The ZR2 is top of the mark for my willingness to purchase. But it's more capable off roader than the TrailBoss which would have all the capability I use a truck for. The ZR2 is good for what it is.
@@davidporter7051 yeah I feel like it's a well rounded pickup, but for high speed washouts it feels smoother than a Raptor and for climbing I can outwalk a TRX or Raptor, considering those 2 things I don't feel like the Tremor comes close. The Tremor only comes close to it in clearance, tires size, having a rear push button locker, but less suspension travel with garbage shocks. It makes a hair more power but I'll trade the power for a more reliable V8 with the sound
He hit the nail right on the head . GM does just enough and never goes above their competition. All in the name of advertising to be the bargain... but dealers kill their customers pockets with markups .
GTFO ford-bias.. clear as day. This truck DOES NOT COMPETE WITH TRX OR RAPTOR. JUST WAIT FOR CHEVY 2023-2024 models, which are going to compete with them. This is just their first real fully off-road vehicle. It is a gem and a limited model worth what it is. FKing opinions, everyone has one to fit their perspective... stop the hate. To each their own, raptors aren't bad, neither are trx; they each have their pros and cons. Oh, and, dude, pls stop w/ zed-r2....
This guy mention the raptor like 💯 times😂😂. I wish someone can do a deep review on a Zr2 Silverado instead of being comparing to its competitors. I wanna hear someone talking about the engine and transmission reliability because at the end of the day that’s all it matters.
Why is it always someone who owns a raptor reviewing a ZR2 !!!! its laughable I own a 23 ZR2 and its a great truck and Chevy stepped up! So you are a Raptor Guy that is great but stay in your lane
I was a GM guy until about two years ago...I switched over to Ford, as GM seems to be about two years behind..The ZR2 could have been a home run, but I will keep my Tremor with 500 ft lb of torque! Thanks Sam for the video!
This guys got a love affair with the raptor. We get it. It’s a nice truck. But he struggles to say anything good about this truck. Has a V8 with a performance exhaust. He says it’s loud and annoying. Dude, if that’s loud.... just go drive a Prius. Says it’s a gas guzzler. According to the EPA, this “gas guzzler” has the same MPG as that V6 raptor.
General motors trucks needs a new truck engine. Still using that 6.2 liter across their trucks/ suv line . Why not at least upgrade the power to the same as the base model C8 ? It's naturally aspirated but makes 490-495 hp . General motors does things that don't make sense 😒. The sports car that makes more hp gets better gas mileage than the truck with less hp ...
It is a beautiful truck for sure. BUT.. Fuel economy sucks. For Google apps to work you have to pay a monthly subscription, it is well known that the heated steering wheel does not work because they didn't install the chips that control that. And for an upper 60K (possible low/middle 70'sK) truck, not having an "auto dimming mirror on/off" totally sucks!! LOL.. Awesome well detailed video sir!
The Silverado ZR2 doesn’t have 420 bhp, it has 420 hp. Bhp is the net power which makes it to the wheels. Hp is the net hp which makes it to the motor crank.
You nailed it. I laughed when he talked about how the exhaust is too loud for people living in apartments. I'm confused as to what people living in apartment buildings would need a pickup truck for to begin with.
Yeah this review was bad. Like didn't even look at the chevy website bad. You can change the underseat storage. The interior shares little with a Tahoe besides the selector knobs on the left of the steering wheel and like nothing with a Cadillac. Do you own a Ford dealer. It's all it lacks innovation and raptor does this and then just gloss over the rear view camera mirror which is amazing because God knows regular mirrors are almost worthless in modern trucks and the selectable front lockers and what the actual offroad modes do.
Ford sucks period! Can tell your a Ford guy, your review is bias and you already have your personal opinion. Had both TRX and Raptor , this kills them both for everyday use and practical . Ram, Ford both problem products and junk!
Why do you keep comparing it to the Raptor? Maybe a f150 TREMOR comparison is.closer in price and capabilities.. Chevy wasn't trying to compete with the Raptor..totally different type of trucks
Where do they find these guys to do reviews? Clearly he doesn't know anything about trucks... keeps talking about the exhaust like it is too loud meanwhile they literally show the borla muffler in the video. And calling the suspension "yellow" suspension clearly this guy doesnt have a clue
Agreed. Been a GM fan most of my life but after hearing about all the lifter issues with the 6.2 as well as the chipping paint issues, I think I'll pass for now.
GM dropped the ball on Silverado ZR2. It is nothing special. I'll take the 2023 Colorado ZR2. At least GM put effort into the Colorado platform and made it competitive. Silverado is nothing but a Trailboss with a front locker and DDSV shocks and they expect $70k+.
you lost me when you said the exhaust was too loud
He lost me when he described the suspension as "the suspension system in yellow... beautiful". Dude doesn't know anything about the vehicle he is reviewing.
This truck is way too quiet! What is this guy talking about?
Something tells me his man card got pulled a long time ago
Hes prolly 🌈
Lol, he's Canadian
That sound from the exhaust is what you WANT !!! There is no use in having a V 8 if you can’t hear it.
Dang Straight Bro! If they want a panty waist sound out of a wuss of a truck....buy European!
Dude we get it, you like the Raptor. Just review how you like the Raptor, we will get advice on this truck for an unbiased reviewer.
Literally said this out loud before i read your comment 😂
Well it is a better truck than the ZR2. So he isn't lying.
Here is the real story. Bought a ZR2 today, list price $73k no mark up.

That's a load of crap that the 6.2 liter v8 sound will get annoying

“It’s a loud truck” what a wussy
The amazing exhaust sound is annoying?
Lol no it’s amazing!!!

Fortunately we don’t always drive our V8s underground
Someone is just a ford fan in my opinion. everything in my mom‘s 2019 expedition rattles or shakes
2023.. fully loaded OTD price $67600, money saved got Hennessey supercharger package. Crushed both Rapture and TRX. Still less money than them both.
Ummm... is somebody going to tell him that GM didn't make this to compete with the Raptor or TRX?
Ill bite when the rebates get over 10k again. Other then that- all new 60k-80k truck can sit on dealer lots
That sound will never get old
Not sure if this is Zr2 review or the rapoter advertising
Wait wait… what you mean the exhaust is to loud?? TF bro just stay driving ur minivan smh… let the real man review loud trucks
GTFO ford-bias.. clear as day. This truck DOES NOT COMPETE WITH TRX OR RAPTOR. JUST WAIT FOR CHEVY 2023-2024 models, which are going to compete with them.

Whats a Zeta2?
Thinking of trading in my 2017 LTZ for this and it might just be the one

Just good enough won't cut it against the Raptor or TRX. GM has been slipping lately, perhaps the EV development is draining resources.
That thumbnail bangs lol.
Sam thats a chevy! If you want minor comforts then you'll have to try a GMC. Literally just a better chevy.
Why is it always someone who owns a raptor reviewing a ZR2 !!!! its laughable I own a 23 ZR2 and its a great truck and Chevy stepped up! So you are a Raptor Guy that is great but stay in your lane
Just asking, when you say your ABCs, do you say zed at the end?
Yes
canadian
If you have money to buy it you just don’t care about gas I just Love it! I just order mine
I was a GM guy until about two years ago...I switched over to Ford, as GM seems to be about two years behind..The ZR2 could have been a home run, but I will keep my Tremor with 500 ft lb of torque! Thanks Sam for the video!
Ford has the Outdated interior vs New Silverado now never been a Fan of the V6 engine rather have 6.2. ZR2 RaptorR at 120k id take ZR2 at 72k instead.
v8> v6 idc how much more power or torque
@@purpskurp8737 Yep and anyone who says the sound of a V8 gets old, should be driving a Prius.
If I could buy a 1974 f250 ranger brand new with a modern pushrod v8 & a 6 speed manual trans, I'd take it over everything out there...
Silverado es Silverado... El poder américano

It has active exhaust. If this is too "loud" just stick with the raptor.
El interior del la ZR2, es mucho mejor que el Raptor Fan Boy
Hopefully 🙏🏼 ZR2 bison gets a diesel 🙏🏼👍
Would be nice because that 6.2 seems to be a pile of trash with all the lifter issues it's having.
Maybe it doesn't have the same designs as the raptor... BECAUSE ITS NOT A RAPTOR... now compare the raptor to the TRX...
Too late bro I already bought it and love it.
Louder the better in my opinion
Some people like loud....a lot. Nice Raptor review though.

it's lighter, no shit it would get better mileage..
@@elonmust7470 true and it's also not shaped like a brick...!
GM is now making a new v8 btw
That’s because it’s not a raptor
It is a beautiful truck for sure. BUT.. Fuel economy sucks.

Awesome well detailed video sir!
I don't think u are supposed to spin the tires
as a chevy guy GM fell short on the ZR2
The Silverado ZR2 doesn’t have 420 bhp, it has 420 hp. Bhp is the net power which makes it to the wheels. Hp is the net hp which makes it to the motor crank.
WHP is to the wheels - BHP is brake horse power
suzukid400 must be gen z
Have you test drove a raptor or tremor yet?
Yes both
@@SamCarLegion where the video to those trucks?
Love your videos also.. thanks 🙏🏻
Bro has shit on this, I like it more positive
How much did Ford pay you
2 mil
city guy that doesn't understand truck reviews for truck people makes a video
It's all about driving to the mall in style.
You nailed it.
I laughed when he talked about how the exhaust is too loud for people living in apartments.
I'm confused as to what people living in apartment buildings would need a pickup truck for to begin with.
I think with gas hitting a whopping $6 a gallon, none of the Big 3 will be selling very many trucks this year...
Yet they are selling tons of them. So many that they had to suspend orders on the 2023 Trail Boss and ZR2 Silverados until 2023.

This guy is a ford salesman😂
No way is this in the class of a pre-runner Raptor. It's in the class of the Ram Rebel and Ram Power Wagon.
Breakdown in 3.2.1.
Believe a raptor is better for this guy
ahhh...this sounds more like a anti-ZR2 review. and a pro-Raptor endorsement..
This guy loves Fords
screen is basically an android tablet
Why do you keep comparing it to the Raptor? Maybe a f150 TREMOR comparison is.closer in price and capabilities.. Chevy wasn't trying to compete with the Raptor..totally different type of trucks
Honestly who is buying a zr2 and living in an apartment lol
You'll be surprised, times are hard these days lol
@@Briguy702 If you live in an apartment, you literally have no need for a pickup bed..

Carnal hasta una f150 normal le gana🤣🤣🤣
ZR2. Not zide r2 lol
ridiculous
This guy loves the raptor. 😂😂😂
This is just a ford guy
We get it the raptor is better 😂
1st
Too bad the things junk
Agreed. Been a GM fan most of my life but after hearing about all the lifter issues with the 6.2 as well as the chipping paint issues, I think I'll pass for now.
GM dropped the ball on Silverado ZR2. It is nothing special. I'll take the 2023 Colorado ZR2. At least GM put effort into the Colorado platform and made it competitive. Silverado is nothing but a Trailboss with a front locker and DDSV shocks and they expect $70k+.
