Cars.com Proudly Hails Colorado ZR2 As “Best Pickup Truck of 2018”

The large variety of websites and blogs out there that cover cars and trucks always have their hands full during the beginning of the year! As new models come out, their specific highlights, new trim levels, safety features, and overall driving characteristics are all topics of interest for readers worldwide. Knowing where a car leads the pack is very helpful for any new buyer, and can eventually sway anyone who is on the fence to purchase the car that is best for them. We have already had many people come talk to us here at Chuck Hutton about the new options for trucks, as they begin the process to purchase.

The Colorado ZR2 was officially selected as Cars.com's “Best Pickup Truck of 2018”, as editors doled out heavy praise for the truck's “almost perfect combination of passion and technology”. Claiming that it is also quite possibly the most distinctive vehicle that has come along in years, it is obvious that this trusty truck we have all come to love so much here in Memphis has made a long-lasting and esteemed impression on car professionals. To fully compete in the off-road category of the market, launching an ordinary and complacent vehicle was simply not going to cut it. The line of Colorado trucks has sold more than 300,000 models in three years, and ZR2 incorporates futuristic technology that has reached a very savvy new group of off-road enthusiasts.

When you take the time to pay us a visit and test drive this fantastic new model, you'll see how it does a great job of combining the maneuverability of a mid-size pickup with new off-road features, and the largest arrangement of technology of any vehicle in its segment. The ZR2 features a three-and-a-half-inch wider track, and two-inch lift in suspension. Rocker protection has been added to provide a higher level of performance over obstacles and rocks, and the front and rear bumpers have been modified for better clearance in off-road scenarios.

Other exclusive features that you'll find on this apt and able rock crawler are front and rear electronic locking differentials, option for diesel engine, and the first off-road application of Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve damper technology. It may be very technical rock crawling on tight two-track trails, high-speed bursts in open spaces, or just the daily driving routine that has spurred your interest in the ZR2. It is known to deliver very high performance in all of these scenarios, and Car And Driver claimed that “its torque makes the ZR2 a one-pedal drive when the transfer case is shifted into low range”. Come check out the 2018 model that provides something for every truck enthusiast, and marvel at Chevy's best-ever release of a competent and crawl-ready mid-size machine!
