Should we get the ZR2 "Bison"??? Look it up and tell me what ya think!
Street Speed 717 it is ugly
Street Speed 717 yessss!
Do you still workout Mike? 💪
Street Speed 717 this is too awesome however check out the GMC version of it. Hope you make a comparison video of it? Happy 4th Mike and everyone!
Yes!
Here we see Mike's alter ego, "DougSpeed717"
Singh Speed lmaooo
I'm not trying to be a smartass but he actually started his channel doing a lot of car reviews.
ZR2 spec is only rated for 5K towing for both duramax and gas due to the softer DSSV suspension, how do I know, I have one. :)
I own one two but I didn't buy it to tow or haul I got it for off roading and it does that very well.
I came here to say this. I was mistaken for the longest time about this as well because my 2016 Z71 Trail Boss Edition, sort of the predecessor to the ZR2, was rated at 7600lbs towing.
Austin lol accurate but fuck you anyways 😂
I hope car manufacturers never get rid of a keystart. Nothing's better than the feel of turning a key to crank it over after you've been wrenching on it
They all will eventually it's inevitable
I didn’t know Doug’s videos could make an impact so quickly
QUIRKS AND FEATURES
Dale Earnhardt Sr. AND THEN IM GUNNA GIVE IT , a Doug’s score!!!!!
Wow so "nifty" lol
Hell yeah brother, you’re on the....wait wrong channel
To be honest, I love that chevy trucks still come with traditional ignition keys! :)
“I can’t see anything but I know it’s fine” me in most situations😂
Doug actually just reviewed the ZR2
Falseprophet42 dude he makes like $6k or more off every video
kawi rider no intentions to be rude here but your point is?
kawi rider and get’s paid like 40k per car review by Autotrader
Falseprophet42 you asked how much debt he was in. Well to answer you, practically none
kawi rider no I didn’t. I just specified that Doug demuro reviewed (or rather uploaded a review) of the ZR2 the same day that Streetspeed717 reviewed a ZR2
Right after Doug’s video! Nice stuff as always
I saw he uploaded on my way home haha
It doesn't have the rear bumper steps for the increased departure angle, all the other Colorados have the steps. Also, yes. You should get a ZR2
Doug made a similar video LOL
bet he had on 2 T shirts, too....
I was going to say the same thing and if I was a professor and I was grading this video as a assignment I would give it a C - there were too many similarities to Doug's video which leads me to believe that he watched that video made a call and did his own review. The only thing missing was the Adidas logo and diesel.
He was intentionally trying to make a Doug pardoy so for that I'd give him a B-
Always something special about the ZR2 trucks and blazers -
Maybe they will bring back the ZR2 package on the new blazer body.
The new blazer is an epic fail 🤢🤮
The new blazer is unibody construction, if they put an off road trim option on it, it'll just be window dressing. The new blazer would never be legit off road capable.
Tim Davis How, GM doesn’t want to lose any money, so they’re going with the crossovers, which is where they make a lot of money. Also remember how bad the old blazers were. Sure they’re cool now but they aren’t good trucks.
I’m a Chevy guy but still prefer the Raptor , they are just not quite there yet.
slim pickens me too I love gm trucks but it doesn’t really convince me. I think it’s all for looks. I pretty sure a old truck with 4X4 can do what this can.
I do not think the GM will ever make a true Raptor competitor. Nobody liked the Reaper because of the look. However I have been I one and damn the need to make it officially. XD
I love the F-150 Raptor, but this "Ranger Raptor" Ford is planning on, is a dumb idea in my opinion. I think it diminishes the Raptor brand. To me it would be like Ford bringing out a 'Shelby Fiesta'.
Josh Lambert I totally agree , exclusive is a good thing , don’t ruin it by getting greedy
Josh Lambert I think it’s a good idea. Before the raptor people had rangers to off road. The ranger was the choice make prerunners out of them. I think if the new raptor ranger is built good it can be something interesting.
Mike in the thumbnail: “You know I had to do it to em”
I would not trade any stock full sized truck for my ZR2 it's an excellent daily driver and kicks ass off road
*Sees thumbnail* “You know I had to do it to em”
Wow saw your vid on the Up Next section while i was watching Dougs review of the Zr2
hey there i would definitely love to see more of the zr2, specifically offroad and climbing, like when you have to use the rear and front lockersto get over an obstacle or climbing up a steep hill .... id love to see how it performs maybe if u can do a head to head with the same year jeep or the new jl or something like that... also does the zr2 colorado have a sway bar disconnect button? that truck is everything i would love in a truck... i would love to see how it performs head to head with a jeep jl .. also in the bed even with the zr2 sports bar mounted up in the bed, do you think it would be wide enough to put a quad in the truck? wide enough and long enough? lastly id love to see a 0-60 to get a better feeling of how fast it actually is...
and maybe down the road if you can get a zr2 with the little diesel cummins engine and take em both offroad and see how they compare and what is truly better on road and offroad... thanks in advance.. looking forward to more videos.. great reviews... cheers
How good is the stock power Brother __??Im going to buy a Truck soon just need quality opinion on this truck starting off as stock ...and i need get up power does it have sum descent get up Power ????
Have a happy safe 4th Mike and everyone!! Please twin turbo the pa!!??
Shun Sato it's G Pa!
Guess what. He doesn’t trade in his zr1
he did not trade the corvette for a fucking colorado??? omg what a fucking suprise
basically a commercial for the dealership lol
Yup
Sweet little truck. I would drive one for sure
I love that chevy has kept the key start
You watched doug's review as well
Steven Davis I think we all did. Lol.
You must be new here lol he even have footage of him watching and mentioning Doug multiple times
MOnK I am & I didn't know that👍
I appreciate it guys. Much love
You should get a zr2! Duramax and make it twin turbo.
Fuck yea!!!! This guy knows
My thoughts exactly 👍
Had mine for over a year! Love it! Wish I had a ZR1 to put beside the ZR2
Mike getting scared by the train was funny as fuck 😂
Why can't most of your cars go over 55
Callum B bloody slow aye 😂
Callum B It's a safety feature on new vehicles.
My Colrado Z-71 goes twice the double nickles...
Probably a speed limiter thats installed.....
Callum B the damn governors the law told him he had to install on all his cars.
Seems like a fun little truck
Bought my new ZR2 a few weeks ago. Love it. Havnt taken it off road yet. Live in southern Utah. Off road Mecca. Gonna be fun.
I just bought an 18 model ZR2 with 14k miles. It has the color match snug top. The sticker was 52k on it with all the options. The people who bought it new brought it back said it was too small. I got it out the door for 27k. This thing is absolutely amazing. I went from a 2012 ram 3500 Cummins for the last five years.
lol, you're joking right? "Better"? i hope chevy gave you a discount for that add you just posted for them.
Patrick Graboski of course he gets discount from Chevy. He’s the only one buys cars from the same Chevy dealer over and over. At end of the day it’s crappppppy Colorado.
If I was forced to buy one I’d get the Chevy w the turbo diesel 🤷🏽♂️ called preference
For the price its definitely better.
You’re the type of dude to try and jump a raptor like BJ Baldwin thinking it’s actually a prerunner...
The raptor looks better, certainly not $25k better :)
Now they need to put the engine out of the zr1 in it
I am with Emergency Management and I do everything from storm spotting, disaster relief and road side assistance. I believe this would be the perfect truck for me . I currently own a 2000 Chevy Blazer LT trust bucket and I am ready for an upgrade. Only issues I see with this is as you said the pulling power and also I have to have my communication radios in it, my computer and my emergency POV lights and a possibility of a push bar or bumper with or without a winch. Do you know if they have any add one for those modifications ?
i bought a black 2018 GMC Sierra z71 elevation 4x4 1500 in Aug and now I've been seeing these trucks around and i want one, do you think i would be disappointed if i traded my full size truck for this ?
Finally mike!! I’ve been waiting all night 😂😂
What’s the MikeScore?
I bought a 2018 ZR2 diesel and love it for the woods here in NC. Took it to Uwharrie National Forest and ran some of the off-road trails. It rocked it like a champ with its stock set-up. I stopped short of going onto the Daniel trail, that one is going to need a little more than the stock 2 inch lift and 32 inch wrangler tires. Running the dirt roads with the DSSV shocks was fun and I managed to throw out the tail a bunch of times as I was coming around the corners, lots of torque getting put down. I will say this though, the gas versions I drove were a lot more peppy and good for speed and acceleration, and I imagine if I was in Baja or the south west I would of gone with the gas engine, but I love my 24 MPG right now that I'm getting. If you want to wait for the Bison you might have to order it from the factory, I had to hunt my truck down and lucked out when I found out the dealer received one the day prior and it was the only diesel in the receiving lot still, bought it with only 8 miles on the odometer. Good luck on your purchase!
I just started looking at a ZR2 2 days ago Then you and Doug both released a vid on them. I feel blessed XD!
the ZR2 is limited to towing 5000 lbs
Mike I could see you owning a ZR2. You have a ZR1 why not get a ZR2?
I like it, it’s nice it has more of a aggressive look, they took a chance on it and it worked out, I do think the tires should be a little bit bigger in my opinion
You’re right, the Chevy Mylink system is amazing. Our 2017 Trax has it it’s nice and responsive.
Upload late af but I’m watching 🔥🔥🔥
That ZR2 is a really cool truck - let’s get one Mike!
I just got a 2018 Colorado lt 4x4 and I have to say its definitely one of the top 3 trucks on my list
Watched TFLnow... The reason it can only handle the 5000lbs towing is more because they altered the front air dam, and it won't cool enough.
Prices are getting ridiculous in some places, I paid 47k for my 2016 2500hd quad cab but this thing is 45, that is crazy.
The ZR2 looks cool from the outside but interior is outdated looking
Reno Vasquez outdated what do you mean exactly? Not being a dick just wondering bc I mean all the new chevy/ gmc come with the same interior
It is kindof outdated. Ill have to agree, mostly because its the same interior basically the same as the full size truck. They should have made a new interior for the colerado. Kinda stupid to have the same dash, its a totally different truck
I agree they should have a variety but gm is to cheap for that, not only gm I guess all companies are just to save a buck
Cool? It looks like a child's pick up truck.
The Rod Shop GM has been using that interior in all of their trucks since 2014.
I think its awesome!! I'm 17 and I'm going to try to convince my dad to get me a used Colorado, but maybe not with the ZR2 package but its sick
Another great video. I just bought a ZR2 v6 with the light bar as my daily driver instead of an M4! For all of the reasons that you mentioned... Plus, I already have a modified 350z so the M4 seemed redundant. What I did not have yet was a Cool, smaller 4WD pickup that I could do some off-roading in (Bucket list!). I hear the 2019 ZR2 may come with additional features so you might want to wait for a 2019. I got my 2018 for 6k off MSRP. Subscribed for future ZR2 content. FYI, there's no garage door button in the ZR2 and only halogen projector lights - my two biggest dislikes. Not mentioned by Chevy marketing are the Dana axles, the front beefy control arms which are from a full sized HD truck and the 4-piston calipers on the front brakes...
July: 4th
Ameri: can
Yee: Haw
happy 4th yall
I really like the new ZR2. Crazy you did a video reveiw on it I actually have an appointment at my local Chevy dealer tomorrow to test drive one. Not sure if I should get the v6 or the diesel. I will say I'm pretty surprised how small the ZR2 sticker is on the bed. What do you think?
Such a tough choice! Maybe diesel just for the torque??
BryGuy87
If you are towing, get the diesel. If you really like to get on it hard off road, and a lot of stuff like that, get the v6. That is the downside to the diesel, if you just smash on the throttle, you will end up plugging up the DPF filter. Not a big deal if you are in a area where you can delete the truck though.
Diesel
Get v6
In Australia we only got the 2.8D wich had high oil consumption problems. It's no relation to a Duramax motor it's actually Italian and the same 2.8D in the jeeps. A lot of people put the LS3s and LSA into them here. The front diff locks we don't get either...
At one of the dealerships near me where I live, there's one of these red ZR2 and it actually has the floating spare in the back of the bed right under the baja rack
I just bought mine and I had some haters telling me not to get it but I got it anyways and it’s great. I’ve had sierras and f150s but since I don’t do a lot of towing anymore I got this.
I still think you should go with the Raptor! You need a Ford on the channel besides the old escape.
Why not a Prius??? 😭😭😭
Rapeepong Gossett I'm sure he was being sarcastic 😂.
Rapeepong Gossett you don’t get the joke do you ughh
Nah I'm sure he means it because he "traded" his v8 monster for a 300hp v6. Even though the truck is much more practical for every day use but then so is Prius.
Ryan Aponte those cars are ugly
How is it. You still have to use a key to start it ?
Yess get it! I have a ‘12 Colorado z71 and haven’t regretted it yet, would love for you to get one
Needs an LS3.
Jared K need a LS9
Jared K Needs a 9.4L big block.
572, let's just go big
it needs a ws6
At least as an option for sure
Instead of a raptor why not compare with its direct competitor, such as the TRD Pro tacoma
Luis Arreola much better
Because it destroys the terd already
Because the Tacoma's 3.5 V6 is gutless, it doesn't have a limited slip front diff let alone a locking front diff, the rear diff on the TRD Pro is one of the weakest POS diffs I've ever seen, the shocks are low-grade Fox shocks whereas the ZR2 has pro-grade Multimatic spool valve shocks, etc. The fucking TRD Pro even had garbage drum brakes and only comes with GY Wranglers.
got that ranger raptor coming out soon. There’s a fair comparison.
@@monolithtitan isn't it like 60g?
Been eyeing this up myself. Great review. Tempting me more
I really like the ZR2. Its just the right size. Great truck!
Who told you that it can tow 8000 lbs? It can't, 7700 lbs max towing properly equipped. 5000 lbs on the ZR2.. get the facts straight..
True story. On the regular Colorados 7700ish? Is the max. I towed a car for 250 miles with the diesel ZR2 and it did awesome. But that’s not what they are meant to do.
Yeah let’s rip his head off for being 300 Lbs over 😂
@@josephandersen8721 no, he was 3000lbs over... 8000lbs-5000lbs=3000lbs, see what I did there. Does not matter if he was 3lbs over or 300lbs, these trucks are rated so they can stop and handle the weight safely.
As you said, 7700 max towing capacity(with proper rear axle ratio brakes suspension etc), so 300 pound difference. But your point is taken.
People. Don’t load up 8,000 on this thing. Stop at 7700 and double check your Colorado’s specific towing capacity 😊🤣
Sorry Joseph... You're wrong. The Z71.. LETS SAY IT AGAIN Z71! Colorado has the 7700 max towing capacity for the duramax. The ZR2, however regardless of engine is capped at 5,000. This is likely due to the ride height and DSSV suspension setup. Nobody should be ripping his head off for getting it wrong, but clearly someone at the dealership doesn't know their shit.
I make the Colorado here in Wentzville Mo.
cardsfan2321 and I make the seats across the street. Local 282!
Great, I would to work on a GM assembly plant.
89civ I'm at TVS. Local 282!
I’m a welding engineer here in Michigan. But I can’t talk about what we make 😏😏 just know 2020 GM, Ford, and FCA is going to be wild.
We've our our Colorado Z71 for a little over a year and love it. Great gas mileage, comfortable on road trips, and is a truck
“Here’s a lot of cool buttons” lmaooo
Tow rating is 5000 lbs on ALL ZR2s. It has to do with less air flow to the radiator and engine. Also limited by the off road suspension. I have the leveled Dmax ZR2. It is a great truck off road and still gets 27mpg on the highway here in PA.
Bruh. The fact he is even COMPARING the two is outrageous. The ZR2 is a legit off-roading/rock crawler. The Raptor is more of a baha desert racer. Big difference. And i like how he is even comparing the price... the difference in price is exactly the same as the difference between a regular midsized and fulsized. So the packages are essentially non comparable in the price category. The Raptor is better in every was as an all around truck which is why it is actually worth the price. So... just get a Raptor. Especially when you are trading in a ZR1 so... price shouldnt really be a question.
Jonah Santellana im not sure if he's serious about trading in the zr1
Jonah Santellana Mike was joking about trading the ZR1.
Why are people talking about the Raptor? You would have to compare it to the the Ranger Raptor which isn't even available in the US yet. The F-150 is a different class of truck.
I'm legitimately about to go price one of these out this week because of this video.
Dude you just made my life happy I will get one of this trucks next year hopefully everything goes well with my life thank you for making this video
Beautiful truck .!
Ps I am a Chevy Colorado fan
Towing capacity is 5,000 pounds, no matter the engine. The suspension in the ZR2 can not handle the 7,000 pounds a standard V6 has or the 7,700 pounds the diesel is rated for.
It's not the suspension that is the problem, it the air dam not being able to cool the engine well enough to tow heavier loads.
Wrong.
So I work for a multi-millionaire and he loves cars. He owns a 2018 Raptor and I've driven it a lot. It's the car he gives me to take and do errands for him in addition to my actual work, anyway so I've driven it a fair amount, and I would never buy one. The raptor is a fun truck no doubt, and it's fun off road but there is really no power. Yeah it has a lot of horsepower, it's got turbos, but it's not fun. It's fast, really fast for a piece of metal that big, but when you put your foot down it's not fun. You're not thrusted back into your seat, the exhaust is also shit, although the interior is nice. The truck needs Fords new big block V8. The torque will really add to the fun factor of it. I mean I'm a ford guy, I drive a mustang, I'm pretty young and in college so it's just a V6 but I have more fun in that car than the $90,000 raptor with packages. My mustang costed 6k, I think ford really screwed up, hopefully the V8 puts the performance back in Ford Performance as far as the raptor goes.
What is some of this supposed to mean? It has no power (more hp than any full size truck), but it's fast? The torque will add to the fun? 510ft/lbs is also class leading. I am a Ford guy as well. When I was younger, I drove a 2011 Mustang with a V6. It was 0-60 in 5.3 with the manual I had. Slower than that if I'd had the automatic. The 2017 Mustang (last year of the V6) will do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. I've since, also had the 5.0 (2015 w/ performance package). Now I drive a Raptor. The 6,000lbs F-150 Raptor will do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but do me a favor and don't put any cash down in a drag against a Raptor. You will lose.
By no means do I have money for my own ride as I work pt retail but thankful I'm still with my parents. My question is regardless of short or long bed with the off road lights can you drive with your main lights off and just drive by offroad lights on and off road? On street say during winter storms.
Hey Mike, I come from a Jeep family (Myself, brother, mom and dad all have jeeps lol. but I drive a c5 as well), and my dad recently traded to a ZR2 duramax, and I must say overall it is an amazing vehicle, the looks alone make it worth it. Great daily and any offroading not at an offroading park, this thing handles it like a champ. I'd love to see one on the channel!
FYI I think it only tows 5,000 lbs, that's a huge difference
$45k for a Colorado? Holy crap!
Long term reliability would the v6 or baby duramax be better?
Send It Mike!!!!
That would be the perfect combo in the garage ZR1 and a ZR2!!!
Tow rating is 5000 lbs. You over inflated it my 60%
Regular colorado diesel 2wd can tow 7700 lbs max.
This is like a mirror of Doug's video
4 cylinder turbo diesel 2019 max trailer is 7600 for the 5 and 6 foot beds crew cabs non ZR2 ZR2 in 5 foot bed is only 5000. according to Chevy
It is like watching Doug but with another accent...
ivcars003 This is the exact video, but worse.
I love the ZR2. I have an 07 Colorado Crew Cab Z71, and It's a great truck, and I love the fact that the Colorado is now a V6 or a diesel, rather than the i5 that I have.
This is awesome for the winters we have here in canada
why the hell is chevy trying to make everything look like a camaro?
smh.
No, the Camaro looks like a truck, which is just wrong, Of course, with the 4ish foot box on the "truck", the Camaro probably hauls more groceries.
It isn’t a Chevy creation, holden created it and Chevy rebadged it made it left hand hand drive for the US
Sassy the Sasquatch holden created what gm owns holden and they work with chevy
@@jdrok5026 Holden bought GM in 2009
@@joeyf7606 no Holden didnt. Holden has been owned by gm since before the 70s
Strange coincidence with Doug?
Dude!!! Yess get that Bison with the snorkel!!! That ZR2 Has potential in my opinion it is worth every penny! Love your videos man keep up the good work and above all be safe brother 🤙✌️
I really like the zr2 but I wish it was available with a manual
Stop clickbaiting
You just need a lifted jeep there's so many modifications you can do to jeeps right out of the box
Put fuel black rims 6 inch lift kit or higher if you want it higher, steering stabilizers rough country lift kit, put a American flag paint job on it with some bald eagles on it offroading seats Jack stand mount on the hood with a Jack cb radio mounts right in front metal bullbar rhino lined huge led light bar on top make sure the jeep is manual for offroading
Bought one last year 2018 midnight edition black on black love this truck
I have a big and small truck 4wd a Silverado and a Ford ranger fx4 level 2 for my daily like you said easy to park. That Colorado is sick.
The truck looks derpy because it's soo small I love my raptors
Mike , maybe you should buy everything that has wheels ! You know you want to , especially if you keep looking at it ! The more you look at it the more you want it ! Right ? I wouldn't tow 8k lbs. with this truck unless you want the tail to wag the dog ! Be realistic !
What an AWESOME coincidence that DougSpeed717 and Daddy Doug D do a review of the EXACT same color Chevy Colorado ZR2, even though his was the diesel version. I love it especially since this has been my dream truck for the last almost two years now when I heard it was coming out. I however can't stand black on black on black, it looks cool but is overdone and sucks BIG time to keep clean. If I had 45k laying around for a truck I would get it in the Deepwood Green Metallic with black bowties, it has almost an Army/Military look to it and I love to fish, waterfowl hunt, hunting in general and kayaking so it would go well with the outdoors theme.
I am glad they let you take it slightly off road up and down that steep hump, you didn't even scratch the surface of it's capability. When I worked at a dealership in Wash PA, we took it up a rather steep hill and had to use the front and rear lockers it worked like a charm. You were given misinformation when you said that the gas one tows 6500lbs and the diesel tows 8000lbs, they both regardless of engine tow 5,000 lbs because of the Multimatic DSSV damper shocks are obviously meant for off roading and are too soft for towing. The standard Colorado tow 7k with the gas engine and 7.7k with the Baby Duramax respectively. You were definitely right about how the motors feel to drive, the gas engine is way punchier, accelerates quicker, etc... and would be better for on and some off road use even some baja running type off roading, where the diesel shines is more extreme off roading where that low end torque helps get over rocks and steeper angles.
I agree 100% that if you want a more dedicated off roader that the ZR2 is more versatile and can fit more places, think a much more comfortable Jeep Wrangler with a bed for truck utility (No the Scrambler will be one ugly mofo and drive like a brick in the wind with a bed), and the Raptor is much more luxury with more insane power and presence, but harder to park and drive in certain areas.
Great review Mike errr DougSpeed 717, I think you should definitely get the ZR2 Bison when it comes out, I see way more channels with Raptors than ZRs in them. Happy 4th of July.
That is a very beautiful truck and I'm planning on getting one too!!!
Never even close to a RAPTOR!!!🦖
Valencia Team, didn't Ford just upgrade the Raptor after this ZR2 came out?
Anthony Webber Raptor all day
Valencia Team, have fun with your timing chain issues
Anthony Webber thanks

thank you for the info. Nicely done!
Not enough Doug in DougSpeed717 this time but I always enjoy these throwbacks to your start on RUclips. This one had a lot more Matt Maron in it.
