The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is a midsize pickup truck engineered for off-road enthusiasts who want serious capability in a more manageable package. As the most rugged and off-road-focused trim in the Colorado lineup, the ZR2 combines aggressive styling, advanced suspension technology, and practical utility to deliver impressive performance both on and off the beaten path.
Powering the 2017 ZR2 is a choice between a 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque or a more fuel-efficient 2.8-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, which offers excellent torque for towing and off-road control. Both engines are paired with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission, allowing drivers to tailor their driving experience.
The ZR2 stands out with its unique off-road suspension system featuring Multimatic DSSV dampers, increased ride height, and widened track for improved stability and handling on rough terrain. It also comes equipped with front and rear electronic locking differentials, skid plates for underbody protection, and all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels to tackle challenging trails with confidence.
Inside, the Colorado ZR2 offers a comfortable cabin with durable materials, supportive seating, and available leather upholstery in higher trims. The infotainment system includes a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth, and available navigation. Safety features include multiple airbags, stability control, and available driver assistance technologies. The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is an ideal choice for adventure seekers who want a capable, nimble truck that excels off-road without sacrificing everyday usability.
