Chevy Acquires Patent For Bison Name, Furthering Plans to Produce AEV Concept

As summer continues with its high-intensity heat rays, blue skies, and later sunsets, anyone who has just recently purchased a new car or truck here at O'rielly Chevy may be on the hunt for things to do to occupy the time. We wanted to make sure that we let you know about Mount Lemmon: just around an hour's drive from Tucson's city center, this is a favorite choice for day trip and camping for those living and visiting here. It is usually around 20 or 30 degrees cooler than the city, so it offers a refreshing breather from the sweltering heat, and retains its claim as the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains.

Trucks are definitely many folks' favorite way to see summertime destinations such  as this one, and during the 2017 SEMA Show, the popular concept for the ZR2 AEV was unveiled. As the folks at Off-road.com pointed out last week, AEV makes use of a bison for their logo, a symbol of abundance, and sacred qualities of life. GM has now filed to trademark the name ZR2 Bison with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and all of us here at O'rielly Chevy could not be more excited. The multiple upgrades to the truck by means of this concept include a revised set of Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers, long-travel front and rear springs, 35-inch BF Goodrich tires, and a new skew of skid plates.

 It is also evident that the Bison may move in an entirely different direction from the ZR2 AEV concept, since the trademark was first filed under the guise of the Brazilian trademark office. At this time, Brazil receives the global Colorado, which features a few differences. Although some of the details at this time remain a bit unclear, we'll keep you posted right here on the blog as to any new details that arise. Motor Trend deemed the Colorado ZR2 as their esteemed “Truck of the Year” for 2015 and 2016, and the formula as a whole was beefed up quite a bit for last year, especially in terms of its suspension system.

The ZR2 features the Multimatic's Dynamic Suspension Spool Vale DSSV dampers,  which give the ZR2 massive powers for running at high speeds in the desert, and precise handling while climbing rocks. As far as the day-to-day commute, this ingenious suspension system improves ride quality, and performance on city streets as well. You also get to reap other enticing off-road benefits, such as a locking front and rear differential, larger rear axle and front control arms, rock slider body armor, and brand new front and rear bumpers that are now specifically designed to boost angles for approach and departure. Before the Bison model descends on Tucson, come to visit us here for a test drive of the current ZR2: we'll show you the many reasons why it is superior to the Tacoma TRD Pro, and able and ready for any desert-conquering days of summer!
