The TRUTH About the 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Is the all new Chevrolet Colorado Bison the king of mid size trucks?! We give our opinion as owners of previous gen trucks... testing the new ZR2 Bison on road, high speed desert running, and rock crawling. Warning... skid plates were damaged in the making of this video!
Huge thanks to @Chevrolet and @AmericanExpeditionVehicles for inviting us to review the new truck.

    This truck is a step in the right direction as far as stock offroad vehicles in my book but my biggest gripe is the pay payload. If you have 2 200 lbs dudes in there then you've only got 600lbs left to play with. If you have a hard shell mount that's 200-300 lbs less. You can't really configure an ultimate overland rig with this truck even though it is building towards it.

    Honestly, it was great on highway. We drove it for about an hour on road before hitting the desert. The Bison is a bit heavier than the standard ZR2, and it feels it. A little less pep in the acceleration, but not bad by any means. We tested the back to back, so we could tell, but otherwise I think people will be very happy with the Bisons on-road performance. And surprisingly quiet! Thanks for watching!

    No regear, 35s, heavier armor and only 1000 lbs payload. I wonder how this truck is gonna do if you add a camper like GFC (on the light side) or Alu Cabin (on the heavier side). Wonder if that 4 cylinder is going to struggle like my 4Runner with just a roof tent 😅. Do you guys think this truck will make a good adventure build? I’m kind of disappointed they couldn’t figure out how to mount that spare time better. Sure you can get an aftermarket swing gate but that’ll just make the back camera useless. No doubt it’s capable but the payload sacrifice is a little too much.

  • @PNW_Bison

    @@whocaresjustdoit I hear ya. For reference the payload is nearly identical to the last Gen Bison. I have a CBI Rack and GFC RTT and it handles it with no issues, but I definitely chose a lighter build with that in mind. The new engines higher HP/Torque will definitely help driveability over last Gen. Of course it remains to be seen how an Overland build setup will stress these turbo 4 cylinders. There is a great engineer interview about these engines specifically out on KZread, I wish I could remember who did it, but they talked about how they built it off of the learnings they gathered from the diesel engine and made it very robust. I truly hope that's the case. It's a great watch if you can find it.
