Does A Chevy Silverado ZR2 Make For A Good Daily Driver? 

Smart man

86k ouch they are 60k where I’m at brand new and that’s the 22-23s

Is that the OTD price??

@@johnnyflores6072 for me it was when it 1st came out. They lower now

Ditto…got mine for 62. It was one of the show trucks and only had 200 miles on it. I love that truck. I had the 5.3 trail boss before and this 6.2 gets better gas mileage than the 5.3. Although the 6.2 has to have high octane fuel. I’ve driven through downtown Denver, St Louis, Cincinnati, no issues. A bit tight at times but with all the cameras it’s easy to navigate small spaces. I towed a bunch of crap across country, the largest UHall trailer available completely filled. The truck had no issue, you could barely even notice it was pulling anything. The only reason I got rid of my TrailBoss is because my daughter beat me off the line in a Nissan Juke and I couldn’t let that stand. One draw back is the hood cowling has a tendency to reflect light back into your eyes on account of its high gloss.

The cam phaser issue is for Ford.

Same. Badge free only way to roll.

I like the factory badges on there, I feel like the cheaper trucks come with less badges

Yes

I think that's what the trail boss is meant to do. This can keep up with the raptor and trx engine aside especially with the bison package.

It really isnt. It is a step above the tremor or rebel trucks but is in a different lane than a TRX or Raptor. Those trucks are more dessert runners while the Silverado fairs better on a trail particularly because it is not as wide and it has the front locker.

TRX and Raptor are open area / desert focused. ZR2 kept a “narrow” body to be more trail focused.

Yeah that price is insane.

No ev is a good long term choice, unless tour idea of long term is 6-8 years. Battery replacement IS an issue

@@adamtoshowbloodintheface7582 Your statement is misinformed and without experience.

@kelviskelvis7140 wrong.....already abandoned one vehicle, that couldn't get a new battery, and had no provider for recycling old one.

You must be on crack. this is thousands less than a raptor. MSRP is one thing but you can get zr2s under 70k while I struggle to find a raptor under 80k. Real world pricing this is closer in cost to a tremor than a raptor.

😅

Not for the duramax 3.0 diesel - getting 26 mpg on n highway !

Nope bad idea.

@@davidporter7051 how so? Would look better giving it a wider stance. Nothing crazy maybe 1 and a half inches wider

@@Monothiest247 because if someone wanted a truck with a wider stance there is a Raptor or TRX. The ZR2 is a Daily Driver with good off-road capability. Making it wider doesn't make it much better off road and degrades it as a daily driver.

@@davidporter7051 the main thing attractive about the raptor is the wide stance.

@@Monothiest247 then purchase a Raptor.

What do you consider good enough gas mileage in a truck like this one that has 420 HP? I own a 2022 ZR2 and it regularly gets over 20 MPG when I just drive it normally. I'm thrilled with that. Really happy with this truck so far and have 22,000 on it. Drives and rides fantastic on or off road. Those DSSV shocks are amazing. This is the only new Chevy I have ever had in my life and I am pretty impressed with it. Have towed with it in the Rocky Mountains on a few occasions pulling my 25 foot trailer. When I scaled the two I was at 14,900 lbs GCWR which is 100 lbs less than the maximum. My remote camp site requires me to take it down about 5 miles of rough bush trails with 4 low and lockers engaged. It does it all without breaking a sweat. Gets between 9 and 11 mpg depending on wind conditions towing that 7500 lbs trailer. Nothing wrong with that.

You e lost your mind lol
