Testing Tucson's Off Road Offerings to the Max: 2017 ZR2 Sweet Spots + Overview

Since we live in a region that definitely falls under the category of rugged, trucks that love to
wander off the pre-fabricated path are in high demand. There is nothing quite like seeing a sunset at a place such as Charouleau Gap: we have so many great locations like this right at our fingertips. Desert cactus are a sure sign that you're getting close to a cool location to put your truck to the test, and see what it can really do. The Colorado ZR2 is an extreme off-roader, and GM hasn't tackled an able project like this since the hummer stopped production around 7 years ago. This is a truck that was not designed to be hulking and overbearing, but a machine that you can avidly dash over boulders and through sand with.

It comes with front, rear, and center locking differentials, 31-inch tires, and a 2.0-inch lift, as well as a track that is 3.5-inches wider than the Colorado Z71. As you are in an off-road domain really putting this vehicle to the test, we are going to tell you right off the bat what you can expect to be over-the-top kick-ass about this truck, and it is absolutely the shocks. They are Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve dampers, and their original purpose was to be for use in Indy and F1 cars. The Camaro Z/28 used a pair as well, and so giving them rigorous use on a truck gets tons of points for thinking righteously and thoroughly outside the box.

These shocks actually use a spring-activated spool valve, which provides more precise of a job done, and helps drastically to prevent overheating. The difficult mission of making the ZR2 into the image of what was envisioned called for an all-new version, with the two remote chambers that are located off the main cylinder to deliver the type and resilience of wheel travel that is required for off-roading. Multiple damping and rebound curves are offered as well, that allow Chevy to tune them in a way which allows them to function at top precision on a wide variety of terrain.

When you “make the leap” and catch air in this truck, you are really going to notice a standout element: it lands like gum. Not necessarily super glue, but the gummy feeling of calculated jumps during off-road happiness landing with hours of engineering expertise behind your last stunt. This truck immediately has the power to settle down and compose its prowess, ready to be put to the test again.

With 369 lb – ft of torque, this diesel is naturally at home in wild environments. You can pretty much tally up all of the other great essentials such as heated seats, great navigational features, and built-in Wi-Fi on this stunty and special ride. Supposedly, this awesome vehicle made it up the Rubicon without getting stuck or needing any assistance, a claim that the Hummer H3 Alpha could not sustain, after reportedly having difficulty getting frequently left behind during the same venture. This is a very unique toy for those who love to wander, and the greater Tucson area is among the best to put it to the test. Come see us at the dealership to find out how you can conquer the roads with the baddest new game in town... and experience the agility and prowess of the Colorado ZR2.
