New member here but have had my 2024 ZR2 2500HD Duramax since March. Currently 11,200 miles and thought I would share my thoughts on this truck. Past trucks I have owned have been a 2002, 2008 and 2015 LTZ 2500HD all Duramax. Here we go:
Interior: Seems cheap compared to my past trucks. You look at it and it scratches. Lots of cab popping when turning on uneven surfaces. I also noticed when driving on these rough Oklahoma roads I sometimes get door rattle. I like the technology and did buy an extended warranty. I did add the kicker sub kit and it helps but not like the JL audio subs I ran in my past trucks.
Exterior: Cheap paint and thin metal on these trucks compared to my past trucks. Stock tires are rock magnets. I really like the lighting on this truck but dread the day I will have to replace a headlamp $$$. I'll add a photo of my truck on this thread later.
Performance: least pedal lag being stock of all my past trucks except my 2015 which lost weight but before weight loss pedal lag was horrible. I really like the 10 speed. Pulls great but empty on Oklahoma highways it will shake your guts out. Decent fuel mileage as long as you run about 65-70mph (average around 17mpg empty and 10-13mpg pulling). Regens are few and far between and I have been only filling tank about half full cause I'm worried about the DEF sitting in there so long.
This is just a few things I have noticed and would like to hear from all of you ZR2 owners on your thoughts.
