Chevy Colorado ZR2 Named as Autotrader's Best of “Must Test Drive Vehicles” for Trucks

This past week, any customers in the Tucson metro area who are looking for the perfect truck had just another reason to not look any further than the 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2. Another hefty award was doled out to its already long list of achievements: its newest recognition was as a 2018 Must Test Drive award, one of among 12 different high-achieving vehicles. Factors that influence the publication's selection are interior comfort, materials, available technology, and overall quality of the ride. The high-ranking ZR2 was also given the highest in praise for “easy to handle dimension”, and “very cool off-road capabilities”. This is truly an off-road ready machine, and a vehicle asset that is consistently ready for almost anything in the terrain arena to be thrown in its direction.

Chief engineer for midsize truck of GM Anita Burke quoted on record last week that all members of her team are “honored by this recognition, and thrilled that Autotrader has picked up on the versatile footprint and serious off-road capabilities of ZR2”. This is the truck that built in very strongly on the already solid platform of the Colorado, and every Orielly Chevy customer looking for a great truck or off-road vehicle needs to give it a test drive ASAP! It 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. The optimal addition to your family or business vehicle lineup, it can complete any task from a large haul, on up to weekend rock crawls in the wild.

The new ZR2 is fairly unique to the standard Colorado truck model, in that it features a three-and-a-half inch wider rack, as well as a direct-from-the-factory, two-inch lift suspension. There is also the very awesome trait of rocker protection, and the presence of front as well as rear bumpers modified for off-road clearance. A drive through some demanding terrain is the perfect time to experience the touch functionality and handy element 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. This provides extra flexibility tuned into the discs themselves, as well as the size and shape of ports they are covering, and is the determining factor governing how much fluid flows between the chambers on top of and below the piston.

Four Wheeler editor Ken Brubaker penned his thoughts regarding the ZR2's superior prowess over the last month, stating 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”. This is also the highly-coveted truck model that holds the claim to the prestigious 2018 Pickup Truck of the Year from Four Wheeler, after it displayed front-running prowess during ramp travel tests, as well as over 1,000 miles of rigorous track maneuvers on various types of terrain.

Judges for the publication who deem what is were thrilled with the way in which the underbody is protected by means of additional skidplating, and the overall ability to display excellent handling over choppy sand, or the roughest of trails at high speeds. You can navigate a very tight two-track trail with no difficulty, or crawl over rocks within any desert-like and vast open space. We hope you come down to schedule a test drive with us here at Orielly Chevy soon, and check out other great features on the ZR2 such as the capability for fully-led navigation, and an 8-inch touchscreen for all of your infotainment needs!
