Truck King ZR2 Offroad Comparo

[AXE]

Here's an interesting test done at a Chevrolet training facility. It's kinda slow moving, but a few of the obstacles are putting the rigs to the test. The ZR2 Colorado is certainly a most impressive offroad rig. I really like that little rig!

I’m hopeful that T1-2 (2027 MY) fixes many of the shortcomings of the T1 and allows a “real” ZR2 truck to be produced not limited by existing architecture and bean counting.

Sales have been strong so that’s a good sign for us.

I don’t live too far from this place and it’s on my way when I go visiting friends, so I think I’m going to stop by and check it out and try out the 2500 ZR2. I’d love to try out the Colorado Bison, but unfortunately I’m too tall to fit in one. I just wish I could use my own truck, but I’m sure their insurance wouldn’t allow that.

I noticed the 1500 was the BabyMax.

That’s GM’s bailout for CAFE. If the 3.0 sticks in sales numbers it will save the company tens of millions in carbon credits they have to buy from Tesla.

It will increase the fleet average considerably so it’s financially possible to build gasoline V8’s.

For those who don’t know this topic I suggest you read and vote as hard as you can. Pure government swamp extract.

I'm having a hard time finding the detraction in the 3.0, good on emissions, great on mileage, over 100 HP and 165 LBFT of TQ per liter, for a truck, it is a great choice.

Exactly. Buy them up. I want my maximum power per engine option.

No hate at all. Menus at restaurants. Some people like steak some people like spaghetti. But I will die on the hill that is steak being on the menu.

I agree, I hope they sell enough 3.0's that GM decides they can offer a factory supercharger on the 6.2, take that steak up to Prime Rib level and notch that fun quotient up to an 11.

I want a 750 HP electric/diesel hybrid in my 2500HD. I also want one that runs on hydrogen and one that runs on cold fusion before I'm scheduled to die in 2050.

I got one that will get you up the hill a little quicker

Not as long as the bean counters are still in charge.

Wife has the 3.0 and it’s great but it’s just not my 6.2.

Lebanon Ford perfomance dealer is putting whipple superchargers on 300a mustang gt's and F150 xl for about 55k new with 3/36 new warranty. GM TAKE NOTE.

It’s not intended to be, and that’s actually the beauty of it.

Well they sold enough on the 24' model years that they are increasing the 3.0L production for 2025 by a substantial amount. I definitely enjoy it in my bison.

Yes with the exception of the Cadillac Escalade. That's died as of now.
