Spy Shots—Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison Caught Without Scuba Gear

[SID297]

Just about a month ago, GM introduced the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison complete with factory steel bumpers, skid plates and a snorkel. Here is a first look at the Bison without its scuba gear, which gives us a better idea of what we’ll actually see on the road.

The Colorado ZR2 Bison is a factory spec truck, with some serious off-road capability. It features class-exclusive front and rear locking differentials and Multimatic DSSVTM dampers. The Bison gets an all-new “Chevrolet” lettered grille, which seems to take a page from the Raptor playbook. The Bison will sit on 31-in. Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac off-road tires paired with exclusive AEV Bison 17x8-in. aluminum rims.

According to GM, power will come from the 2.8L Duramax Turbodiesel engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Expect to see the Colorado ZR2 Bison on the road in the coming months.

Chevy makes some of the ugliest species on 4 wheels.

Honestly it doesn’t look much different then the new ranger. Both are ugly, the Tacoma is the best looking truck in the small truck segment.

Nah, this thing is a different level of ugly.

I want to like them but that's just too much plastic up front. At least on the regular ZR2s.

If I want a small offroad truck, think I prefer the Ranger Raptor* with the 2.3L TT.

Not a fan of new diesels and all the regulation stuff that has to be put on there.

Ford just said no ranger raptor for the US. So disappointed was hoping for it to be my next daily

Seriously?

That's dumb. Theres a market for the full size and mini me raptor. Hope they make a "raptor" bronco.

This actually is an improvement over other Colorado models, but still ugly...

Hah! Got a link?

Edit - NM Found a link: Ford Performance Boss Says No Ranger Raptor For America

I like it.

Maybe not so much the looks, but the truck itself and what it offers.

Thats retarded/ a shame

 

[Curt@injected]

Its certainly not pretty but I bet this thing gets it done in the woods.

 

[black92]

I like it. I'd take one in black and step up the tire size.

 

[03Sssnake]

Yeah it's not much on looks, but honestly it's no uglier than the ranger, both come up short in the looks dept...This truck is going to get it done based on the components list, looks very capable.

 

[ON D BIT]

Maybe the ranger raptor would take sales from the new bronco?

 

[AustinSN]

I wouldn't mind a ZR2

 

[AssPikle]

Looks busy and toyish

 

[03cobra#694]

That rear bumper protection shit or whatever it is, is hideous.
