Chevy Silverado ZR2 ONE YEAR REVIEW! Why Is No one Buying This? 

I'm looking forward to the next truck!!! Thanks for sharing Bobby , ZR2 !

Wow someone finally using it for what it was made for 😮 I salute you 🤠

Loved watching the ZR2 for the past year, and I cant wait to see what's next. Keep Rocking Bud 👍

The ZR2 was never a raptor/TRX competitor. It’s a rebel and tremor competitor. It’s not in any of the same classes of the raptor and trx other than pricing which is crazy.

I hope that you have better luck with your new Colorado ZR2. The new ones look pretty badass.

Thank you for the honesty

I’m taking my 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 (Gunmetal grey) in tomorrow to install a 4” BDS lift kit, 33x12.5x17 Yokohama Geolandars MT tires, and 17x9 Fuel Rebel 6 D680 +1 wheels. I can’t tell you how many hours of video I’ve watched from this channel definitely giving me much inspiration to pull the trigger. I’m not a RU-vidr, but I would definitely like to share my truck once the work is complete. Thank you for your help! I can’t wait! ZR2 FTW!!

I'm super excited for the new Colorado! Can't wait!

I just purchased a 2024 with the Duramax. I owned both the gen 2 Raptor and tremor. I traded in a 23 Colorado ZR2 for my Silverado. I had issues with and warranty so switched to Chevy. The Colorado was great until our family grew. The Silverado ZR2 has definitely been a nice upgrade for the week we’ve had it. The fuel mileage is the biggest surprise. Averaging 25 mix driving with a rack and roof top tent. Power to anyone that owns any off road truck. Get out there and enjoy it make memories!

The 2024 silverado Zr2 will be available with the 3L Duramax. I'll pick that over the 6.2. I agree the ZR2 has the nicest interior available in the silverado line up.

Let’s Go! I like the new Bison. Looks like the GM engineers used your videos as an influence. They added the “ZR2” trim to the 2500 Silverado s now.

Transmission failure at 9000 miles is absolutely ridiculous!!! Why are Americans putting up with this shit!? And also GM not covering this under warranty?! That’s mad outrageous! I have a ‘23 RST with the 5.3. I’m at 6k miles and actually concerned.

Zr2 . Luv that exhaust. And that blue. Would build the exact same truck.

Another good video Bobby very informative on Chevrolet truck very good keep the videos coming Mike Pierce Lexington Kentucky

the Colorado ZR2 is so sick!!

ZR2 is a badass truck for sure keep up great content can’t wait to see more new cool videos !!!

just got my 23 silverado zr2, got an awesome deal on it, flow tie till i die.

Hey RFRacing have you been aware of the Colorado bison coming out? I would HIGHLY recommend it! I hate to recommend another RU-vidr however there the only one who (what I believe) has the footage. With that being said, please what the video on the bison on TFL off-road. The Bison has 35s STOCK(!) duratraks and GREAT approach and departure angles ably with all the perfectness of the ZR2! 9:35

The fact that you recommend the Colorado over this when I was struggling to decide between the 2. I would get a Colorado ZR2 but the Silverado LT Trail Boss is nice.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but my truck, which is not a ZR2, but still has the 6.2 with the 10 speed has been totally reliable for the 3 years I have owned it.

i had a silverado 1500 z71 off road , 2016 , bought it brand new , oct 2016, i had transmission issues with it constantly, i even got arange technology plug in module to keep it in v8 mode at all times, had it serviced , reprogrammed and rebuilt twice under warranty, a few months after the warranty expired, the transmission acted like it was going to explode, just over 33,000 miles on it, i only drove it on weekends ,last june i traded it for a 2022 colorado redline , gloss black, my silverado was summit white, two tone black stripes, 22 inch wheels, really beautiful, my colorado is 2wd , v6 , 308 horse power , tow package , i'm liking it more than i thought i would , i miss my silverado , but not the issues, and here in florida , i only needed the 4x4 once

It's been a little bit since we've seen the Flow Tie camera view. Please bring it back with some offroad views.

Even if they fixed everything else, IMO they have a huge issue with the frame coating on everything larger than the Colorado. I'd like to know how the waxing is holding up after the off-road use and cleaning.

ZR2 FTW ✌️🎩👍 ZR2 Definitely can’t wait to see how the 2500 does 🤘🎩👍

Bobby my favorite truck of the channel was the little red dodge that you jumped at the first farm and all the parts fell off lol. Edit: ZR2.

Here in Canada the ford tremor with the same options is the same price as the ZR2

A competitor for TRX or Raptor? According to whom? You have put this mother through the ringer! 👏 👏

ZR2!! I love that blue, and with the aftermarket finally starting to come around for these, they will be MUCH more competitive. Yes, they are a bit on the pricey side, but ALL trucks are expensive right now and they keep that value. Try looking for a clean OBS Chevy and see how expensive they are. All this truck needs is.. A lift, maybe some 35's, AFM Delete (Maybe heads/cam) and a nice blower like a Maggie or Whipple. Done!! That'll fix ground clearance, eliminate the crap cylinder cut off parts and add Go Baby Go power. Lol

Bobby, question why would you order a 23 when the 24 model year is coming out? 🤔

Dang, it's been a year already??? Where's that supercharger bud????? At this rate, I'll have one on my 19 GMC Sierra Denali 6.2L before you get one on the ZR2 (had my truck a bit more than a year now too). Keep at it though, keep posting the content on the trucks. Maybe post a few mods/replacement parts videos just for the fun of it, I'd watch.

Why a Readylift kit instead of a BajaKit or some sort of long travel? If you were gonna do a widebody kit and supercharge it to be on par with a Raptor, a regular lift kit would still fall short.

i love your truck brother ,, i've been looking at the 2023 colorado's , i like mine , the new ones are longer, wider, taller , my wife just rolls her eyes at me 😁

I personally don't like the interior color because well I just don't get the point of it but however it's a nice built truck I will admit. And that 6.2L is definitely the best part as well.

Just got my ZR2 and I love it but I have to put that AWE exhaust on it.

I have this truck but with the 3.0 LZ0 Duramax and i absolutely love it. Already have 28,xxx miles and it averages 23mpg. The 10 speed Allison transmission is great. The DSSV Multimatic shocks have absorbed off road terrain great.

I've seen 7 of them around the Houston area just in the last week. Where are they not selling?

ZR2 FTW!

Was thinking about getting these trucks but after so much reviews ill stick with my tundra 14 years no problem

I'm going to win the ZR2... Keep up the good work bobby

What exhaust is that? Sounds fantastic. Send link to exhaust if you can, thanks bud great video!

I am excited about the diesel

Love my 2022 1/2 ZR2 Silverado

You and Mike should consider a Toyota Tundra for the channels. Maybe consider a 2nd gen. It’s always Ford,Dodge or Chevy. There is a Tundra, Tacoma crowd out here.

Regret mine as well. I could have just went with a Trail Boss or Duramax or even a High Country

Zr2 baby!

Are there modifications for the your new Colorado

I have the 2023 ZR2 Silverado in the same color as this one. I got the rock sliders on from the dealer. The fuel mileage isn't great but not much worse than the 2020 trail boss I was driving. Towing is about 7.5 gallons per mile and GM is terrible at warranty honoring. I traded my 2020 Trail Boss because I got tired of replacing the back window every 6 months at the cost of $2000 each time. That is a high cost of ownership for a paid off truck that was 3 years old. So far I love this ZR2. It rides great, it off roads incredibly well, and it looks good coming and going!

Just like you have experienced....I love the styling of the new Chevy and GMC trucks but I have no confidence in the reliability, and to me that is most important.

are Canadians able to win? I'd love to win that truck. great video by the way. nice Chevrolet.

ZR2 Hell Yes

It's not supposed to b a direct competitor to raptor or trx.

ZR2 FTW

I have a 2022 gmc canyon I bought in march last year. It has 4700 miles on it and started to shift extremely hard from 1st to 2nd gear. Especially after watching your channel for the last couple years I wouldn’t touch Gm products with a ten foot pole ever again. P.s. I know your zr2 was awesome for you I wish I have a different experience

$80,000 + for a new pickup truck? That is a hard NO for me.

I think for 2024 most people are going to get the diesel in the ZR2 now that Chevy made it available on the ZR2

Why Is No one Buying This? Because its $72k+ depending on the package. Easily $1000-1,200+ monthly payment. No thanks.

Chevy needs to pick up their game ALOT to compete with the Raptor R or TRX

I'm sorry, at one point you were talking about full size trucks and then said the only thing that might be better is the gladiator.... That's not even close to a full size truck. It's just a long wheel base wrangler with a small ass bed slapped on the ass of the extra long frame....

ZR2! Off-roading full-sized trucks isn't their strongest point. Pulling, hauling, and not having seats on the floor are their strengths.

Nice review. I however am choosing a Gen 2 Raptor over the Silverado ZR2. The Raptor is so much better with performance all around. I also don’t want to spend that kind of money on a Silverado that’s not in the range of performance like the Raptor is.

Zr2 ftw!!

Did you ever consider a tundra?

It's my birthday. Zr2. Doug Jr!

I think the problem is there are too many lemons out there that makes the truck look bad. When Chevrolet released it last year, there were some new things that haven't been there before and there might be some problems that occur. But, hot take here, I think Chevy probably saw what was going on with the 2022 model year and tried to improve it for 2023. I still think it's a great truck and I still intend on buying it, but there are more lemons out there than good ones. That's how I see the situation, but if you disagree, that is fine. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions because this is America.

Oh you guys are out near tower city? Well hell I'm in pine grove bud lol.

Not trying to bust your bubble but it's not better than a Raptor or TRX off roading....Like another said it was not built to compete against them anyway...Nice truck but not my cup of tea...I do understand hyping it up being a Chevy Boy lol...Love your content brother...

ZR2!! Man I really like the Colorado as well. The new truck is cool BUT.. the new Colorado ZR2 will be super sick!!

IDK about the fullsize segment but in the midsize department Colorado ZR2's are the complete package compared to the rest. Less than a Ranger Raptor, and while a weaker HP still shares the same torque rating. The raptor also has coil suspension which is good for off-road of course, but makes it a useless truck as it literally cannot tow anything (I've seen this first hand). Raptor is more of and off-road toy than a usable truck. And to combat that the new Bison pack that's coming out should just flat out beat it at off-roading on paper at the cost of dropping it's tow rating to the same as the raptor. They have the high trim midsize class basically conquered at this point. They only have one competitor except they have better trim options for what you need the truck for.

I have a 2021 trail boss and i've been considering getting the ZR2 for a while

Zr2 for the win

Its not a direct competitor for the TRX. Wow

You'll miss that 6.2 liter engine. I've had compact & mid - sized trucks before. I just don't see the value! The V6 engines really don't get that much better fuel economy from what I have seen. I have to admit I'm a V8 guy from the 60's and not a fan of these smaller is better engines. Hell, anything will run with enough boost!! I think the more small vehicles that we buy the faster the American V8 will go away, sadly!

I’ll answer. Not many wanna have a monthly payment of $1300/month.

Zr2 they are beautiful trucks

I like how the screen is on the Silverado better than ram

If going colorado go with the bison zr2.

Dayem you just had to say reliability. I thought the quality and reliability has gotten better. It is a really nice truck though.

" its by far better than all of those"... said no one. 😅

The new Colorado gets worse mileage than this. I've put 5000 miles on my '23 and I average 15.5MPG and 10.5 while towing. It's nice but horrendous mileage for a 4 Cylinder. The last gen did get better however.

The 75k plus price tag for 7/8 years of monthly payments has something to do with it,lol. My wife and I would love a newbie, we'll see. 👊👊✌️✌️

Zr2, wow 1 year with the Silverado, hopefully it doesn’t catastrophically break before you trade it

according to the most recent videos of gm/cnevy , they have suppossedly dealt with the transmission issues

I just ended up getting a fully loaded f150 tremor. Seen so many reports in the Facebook ZR2 groups of paint issues on bonnet and engine failures

Zr2 FTW

lmao I just turned over 20k on mine too! Haven't had mine for a year though....lol

I can tell you why sales are slowing down lol!! They're TO F'N EXPENSIVE!! It's a trailboss with slightly better shocks and a locker you can get install at 4wheel parts

ZR2 IS MY CHOICE OVERALL

ZR2 !!!!!!!!!!

I think you should really check out a ram power wagon.Just for fun but i think it has everything your looking for in a truck.

Only the Colorado ZR2 is worth it off road. The Silverado ZR2 your paying 80k for a truck that won’t even catch eyes, as fast as a base model(faster with the 6.2) but not enough to get people to buy it. They need to put the LT4 engine in it, and give it wider fenders like the raptor to come stock with 35’s. Then it will be bought more and compete with the raptor and TRX.

Find the right dealer and you can get $5,000 off msrp for '24 ZR2. TRX and Raptor for above sticker usually...no thx

ZR2!!

Unfortunately I think that you just got a lemon great kind of truck just not the one you got. It has way to much going wrong for a new truck even with the modifications that you have done.

Bro, you got to be triping on the views..... he'll, yeah, man.

Can’t buy a truck without issues now. Ford Raptor is having transmission issues and Ram Trx Is having engine issues

ZR2 ❤

I like my Trail Boss.

Why is no one buying this?? Maybe they can't afford the fire insurance 😂

Gm always shorts the customer always wanting more never fully giving what the public wants.

Why no supercharger? What fell apart?
