Black Colorado ZR2

[AXE]

My salesman sent me this picture yesterday and asked me if I was interested in this Colorado ZR2 Bison. I feel like I should buy it and put a topper on it and use it for a hunting rig. It would be easier to load my dog and head out than to haul the sxs and go through that CF just to chase some birds. I will say, I get into a few places that are tight and it might take a beating, whereas the sxs doesn't.

Must not have some of the extra options, cause it was stickered at $53k.

Wrong reference, they have a standard black ZR2 that is $53k. The Bison is $63k, which is what I've seen previously.

It looks nice, just not a fan of the spare in the bed.

I would put a tire rack that fold out like on a Bronco. If there isn't one avaliable, I'd fab one up. It wouldn't be that hard.

Something like this, but I'd want it to come up off the frame with beefy brackets to support the 125+ lbs of weight from tire/wheel bouncing down the trail.

For $1700 I'd just throw the damn tire in the back of the bed. Damn!

It seems like for you AXE you should sell the 1500 and get the Colorado. Then you’ll have the HD for work and Colorado for driving and off roading, the best of both. The 1500 is in that odd spot where it’s ok at either but not particularly good at anything.

depends on what you're using the truck for... I don't like hitting my head on the smaller colorado (had a 2017) but I think these are nearly as big as the 80's fullsize...

They make a relocation kit so it'll mount in bed. I like bed space, so it wouldn't work for me.

I've been thinking about selling my 1500 for 6 months, but haven't been able to force myself. It's just too much fun to drive. Probably the most fun truck I've had since my 1997 S10 ZR2.

I really don't put on a lot of miles, so having two trucks is a real waste of money if you factor in all the maintenance, insurance, depreciation.

Probably the dumbest financial decision I've made, but it was largely cause I sold my previous 24 2500HD to my boy. Coukd have traded in on my 2500HD at the time, buy i only had it for 9 months. trying to get my other boy to buy the 1500, but he doesn't like the idea of making payments (smart). Even though I told him I'd sell it to him for $35k. He likes his tuner car though. Been modifying it up for a 4 years.

I drove one last fall, they have a more compact interior for sure, but it was really comfortable. I'm 6 feet and 225 and didn't feel cramped at all. In fact I thought the ergonomics were great cause of how easily everything is accessible. You wouldn't know for sure until you ran it awhile. I will say, I think this is the best iteration of the ZR2 for offraod use by a mile, I thought the 2.7L motor was a bit weak for turning those 35s.
