It can be used as a wheel chock, a anchor, loop your tow strap in it, step, and skid.

I really like it. Love the lockers and the fact it isn’t as wide as some of the others and more useable for trails near me

Couple of throw away skid plates on the bottom of the bumper and you are good to go. The hitch is a tool and totally fine to take some abuse IMO. I guess the bumpers are too but you generally like those to stay straight and pretty. Very capable and well set up truck. The dead horse hasn’t been beat enough, needs 35’s just to carry its own size and compliment the ZR2 abilities for sure though.

A skid mark hitch skid plate would have prevented the hitch and bumper damage for $200. Well worth it in my book.

Thanks for sacrificing your rig on these tests. Picked mine up 2 weeks ago. Now I don't have to guess what mine can do. Precisely why I subscribe.

Andre, After watching you guys so many times testing vehicles at Moab we decided to try it ourselves. Our tour in a side by side on Fins and Things and Hell's Revenge was awesome. Now it gives me a better understanding of how good the trucks are to negotiate some of the obstacles that are there. Great Job! And of course now I envy your job even more. Thanks!

Great video, I appreciate you guys putting clips from the trail boss and raptor in to compare. I have 2021 trail boss so it's nice to see the differences. Thanks

You inspired me. I took my 2023 ZR2 here this past week. Family road trip. I have a ARE cap on my truck, loaded with everything for the family to camp and my wife and two kids and did this same thing. So I had more weight. The only differences i experienced was i didnt scrape on the frame bender, and i did plow a little on the hitch scraper (Scraped the same way on departure there) Thanks for the video and inspiration to test the limits of my rig and myself.

Andre testing out the limit of the truck.. BRILLIANT! she's a beauty

Great, you're doing great! All important information and technical data presented calmly, factually, competently and in an entertaining manner. Thanks very much.

Pretty impressed. Great review Andre. 👏

I’m a Chevrolet salesperson and I was wildly curious to see something like this. This would be great to send to my customers. Thank you for testing this machine out!

needed a new video from yall today!

I’ve never been a big Chevy fan, but I’m really liking this one. Chevy might have hit a home run here.

That maybe the hardest I’ve ever seen a hitch hit on the frame bender in your videos. “No scratches” except for the huge scratch on the bumper. 😂

Sharp looking truck & off road looks to be really good also. Good job Andre. 👏

Don't sweat it with the trail scrapes, Andre! This is the ZR2, they show character!

Nice truck, great review, entertaining! You probably improved the departure angle a little bit with that hit. When you sell it, dub it upgraded.

I really like the Silverado Zr2. Chevy did a heck of a great job on the package overall! I do wish the rear shocks weren't mounted so low. Not a deal breaker.

Boy I Loved Off-Road Trucks Because Of Them Off-Road Tires Which Are My Favorites The 33 Inches.

Very impressive performance by the Silverado ZR2 Chevy nailed it with this truck.

Love this truck! I think the truck did an amazing job as did Andre, even without a spotter. I’m not sure, but I think a slightly different line on the last obstacle would have avoided the bumper and just scraped the hitch but all in all, very impressive. 👍🏻👍🏻

Ahh Fins and Things... the trail where my buddy and I laughed most of the way through in a stock JK 2 door Rubicon as he got out of the Jeep and danced on the roof as it crawled over obstacles and occasionally needed me to nudge the steering wheel to keep us on track...

This is turning out to be probably superior to the gimmicky trucks. TFL is exceptional for showing reality without the fanboi stuff

In Europe (Germany) we can only dream about those Trucks. Not because we cannot afford them, but just because we don’t have enough space (parking spots, etc…)

When they stuck 32" on the Trail Boss instead of 33' like the Rebel and other trucks do, I knew that the ZR2 wasn't going to get full on 35" tires. They go slightly smaller to get better mpg rating. Plus they know most of their buyers are going to go bigger aftermarket anyways.

The Tremor is available with the torsen up front. Which in most situations, will work as well as a locker. Both have 33" tires, neither one has long travel suspension, or a wide body. It could be argued perhaps that the ZR2 is between the Tremor and the Raptor. But its super close to the Raptor on price.

It has way, way less wheel travel and articulation than a Raptor. The new Raptor has 14 inches front, and 15 rear, this has only 9 up front and 11 in the back. Quite frankly the ZR2 absolutely needs the lockers because the wheel travel it so short it's going to be lifting tires constantly on more technical trails.

Ditch cruising u took the shallow line as with the video u shared with the trail boss. Than the raptor took the deeper part of the ditch crossing. I've been there to moab on fins and things and I can c u were baby'ng that truck. But the front locker is a good game chamber. Can't argue there. Now Ford and dodge need to start doing that for their half tons

That frame bender bash hurt my soul!

Great video guys, that's a nice addition to the lineup, not a TRX but it's still a real nice truck

You guys need a receiver skid plate and a proper bleed down tire gauge from Viair.

Nice truck.definitely tosses your head around more than the TRX or the newest raptor though with the leaf sprung rear end. IMO

I have basically that exact same gauge for off-road in my 2012 F-150...

I'm really liking the zr2. We can't get it here in Australia but if I was in the usa it's definitely the kind of truck I'd love to own. I rarely go for the top of the range luxury trucks or the most off road focussed of the factory trucks (like raptor etc). Thezr2 looks like a truck that hits a real sweet spot between offroad ability and real world utility for proper truck stuff like towing and day to day shopping/kids to school/going to work use. I'd probs still put some larger tyres on and get the motor tuned with a snorkel, intake mods, headers and exhaust though.

I was having the same facial reactions 🤣 as it was scraping, very capable truck tho super impressive!!!!

Needs at least 34 tires, 30+ gallon tank, 3:73 gears, and bead locks. All of that can be done aftermarket for about $5000. The repeat decision to put the lower shock mounts below the rear axle is a head scratcher, but the aftermarket can fix that also.

You should do a shootout between the new Silverado zr2, the ram rebel, and the ford tremor f150. They are more along the lines of pretty even as they aren’t on the level of the ford raptor and ram trx. Of course it should be on a trail like this which test their off-road prowess

Very impressive

I'm not a big-time off road guy so I don't need ultimate capability...and I know I would choose this ZR2 over the Raptor just because of the sound of the engine. That Ecoboost V6 sounds really unbecoming on a beast truck like the Raptor. That said, I would head on over to the off road warehouse to get some 37s on it. It looks like Schwarzenegger on Tom Cruise legs from either end.

You can deal with that by just putting a trailer hitch in the receiver upside down alot cheaper to just replace the trailer hitch than the entire rear bumper or that spare tire
