This past week, anyone in the Memphis area who is looking for the perfect truck had plenty of reason to look no further than the 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2. Adding to its already hefty list of awards, it was one of 12 different high-achieving vehicles announced by Autotrader, with a new recognition as a 2018 Must Test Drive award. Factors that influence the publication's choice are interior comfort, materials, available technology, and quality of the ride. The fantastic ZR2 was given high praise for “easy-to-handle dimensions”, and “very cool off-road capabilities”. Autotrader notes that the ZR2 is absolutely a true off-road machine, and an automotive asset that is consistently ready for almost anything under the sun to be thrown in its direction.
Chief engineer for midsize truck of GM Anita Burke quoted last week that everyone on her team is “honored by this recognition, and thrilled that Autotrader has picked up on the versatile footprint and serious off-road capabilities of ZR2”. This is a truck that built very strongly on the already very solid platform of the Colorado, and every Chuck Hutton customer looking for a great truck or off-road vehicle should give it a sense-stirring test drive. The ZR2 is a truck that combines the easy-to-maneuver and nimble qualities of a mid-size pickup perfectly with a slew of new off-road features and technology. This is the perfect addition to your family or business lineup, and can complete any task from hefty hauling on up to rock crawling on the weekend.
The new ZR2 is a bit unique to a standard Colorado model, in that it features a three-and-a-half inch wider track, as well as a direct-from-the-factory, two-inch lift suspension. There is also the awesome additive of rocker protection, and front as well as rear bumpers modified for off-road clearance. You'll have the opportunity to experience the tough functionality of front and rear locking differentials, available diesel engine option, and the very first off-road application use of Multimatic Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve Damper Technology. Extra flexibility Is tuned into the discs themselves, as well as the size and shape of the ports they cover, and is the determining factor regarding how much fluid flows between the chambers above and below the piston.
Four Wheeler editor Ken Brubaker wrote this past month that “The ZR2 takes the capable Colorado platform to a new level, with a dizzying array of modifications including front and rear differential lockers, a 2-inch higher ride height, 3.5-inch wider track width, additional skidplating, 31-inch tires, and many more off-road centric goodies”. The ZR2 is also the vehicle that won the prestigious 2018 Pickup Truck of the Year from Four Wheeler, after displaying top-of-the-line prowess during ramp travel, and over 1,000 miles of rigorous track testing on various terrain.
Judges gave major props to the way in which the underbody is protected by means of additional skidplating, and the ability to display excellent handling over choppy sand or rough trails at very high speeds. You may have the urge to run over vast and open spaces at dusty desert-defying speeds, or navigate over a tight two-rock trail: This year's ZR2 has the might and maneuverability for either task. We urge you to schedule a test drive with us here at Chuck Hutton, and check out other great features such as full navigation capability, and an 8-inch touchscreen for infotainment accessibility!
