While we’re busy hitting the trails in the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2—we’ll return with our drive impressions this coming Monday—Chevy has dropped one last video to showcase the truck’s capabilities.
This time, the Colorado ZR2 hits the famed Rubicon Trail in California to put its rock crawling capabilities to the test. The Colorado ZR2’s standard front and rear electronic lockers are up to the task, though.
Chevrolet has long pegged the Colorado ZR2 as a purpose-built rock crawler, more in the spirit of Hummer than a high-power dune runner like the Ford F-150 Raptor. Remember, the Colorado ZR2 still makes do with the 3.6-liter LGZ V6 engine or the 2.8-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder unit.
Still, it’s plenty of grunt to pass the tightest, most technical trails, evidenced by the video above. If all of this seems appealing, the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is arriving at dealerships this month. Not only that, but look for the ZR2 to make its racing debut this summer as well.

There you go, typical commute everyday!
It would be great if they also built a ZR2 Blazer again.
Not sure if it Mans anything but mid size truck global manager Anita Burke was asked many questions like would GMC get a ZR2 package etc. all were no.
She was asked if they would consider a Trail Blazer version and she said that would be interesting.
Not sure what the GM speak fully means but they say no when they mean it and avoid answers when the can’t say. It could mean they may be looking at it. It also could mean looking at it for down under or it could mean anything in between and it still not happen. But we did not get a no.
Note too Chevy Performance will offer a line of parts for this truck.
Asked about a Trail Blazer version and what she replies shows how inept GM really is IMO.
So you think it is smart to tell every competitor your future plans and details you have for future models?
Paul I have seen your post long enough to know you are much smarter than that.
