Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 – I’ve been quite spoilt the last few weeks, driving some American Pickup Trucks. Last week was the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2.
This is the more adventurous version of the two models offered and we drove the LTZ the week before.
is Aimed at the off-road enthusiast, The Silverado ZR2 looks the part. With raised suspension, big mud terrain tyres and for its size impressive approach and departure angles.
At its heart is the impressive 6.2L V8 Hemi pumping out 313kW of power and peak torque of 624Nm. This is combined with a 10 Sp AT with external cooler and a two-speed transfer case with push button controls to select between two- and four-wheel drive.
The ZR2 has both front and rear diff locks that are manually selected.
One interesting feature is that the rear diff lock can be selected in 2WD and I did just that when I dug it deep in sand, on purpose, in 2WD.
Sitting in the Silverado ZR2 is every bit as comfortable and luxurious as a Toyota LandCruiser GR Sport. And that’s an interesting comparison as the Silverado ZR2 comes in some $6500 cheaper.
It has more internal room, more tow capacity, more payload and as much luxury and comfort, maybe even more.
This is why I love American Pickup trucks so much.

The mid-size pickup truck market is growing recently.
RAM 1500 is the obvious choice. However, Harrison F Trucks do an excellent F150 conversion. Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan may be coming soon.
Ford is introducing the factory backed F150 early next year.
