Just a few months ago, GM pulled the sheets off the all-new, 2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison. Built as a collaborative effort with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), enthusiasts, fans and prospective buyers have been itching to see real-world photos of the off-road pickup. Now, GM Authority photographers have captured another Silverado ZR2 Bison in the wild.
Notably, this is the isn’t the first Silverado ZR2 Bison we’ve seen on the rod. In fact, that first instance of the truck is the same exact one as the one we have for you today. However, the photos seen here provide different angles and, therefore, a different perspective at the new off-roader.
This prototype is painted in Summit White (Color Code GAZ) exterior paint and wears all the Silverado ZR2 Bison elements, including exclusive gloss-black 18-inch AEV wheels wrapped in 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, a body-color grille bar and black grille design, signature ZR2 badging, a Chevy Flow Tie badge, and a black finish for the top part of the standard Multi-Flex tailgate.
What really sets the Bison from its contemporary Silverado brethren are its off-roading chops. The Bison features a bunch of underbody protection, shielding the front, rear differential, transfer case, and fuel tank from unwanted intrusions. Additionally, the truck features the aforementioned heavy duty wheels, front and rear e-lockers, heavy duty recovery points, front step pads, and an available winch.
As for suspension, the Silverado Bison gets standard Multimatic 40-millimeter DSSV spool-valve dampers paired with uniquely tuned springs that maximize front and rear suspension travel. This results in a high front approach angle (32.5 degrees), and high departure angle (23.4 degrees).
As for powertrain, the 2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison features the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine as standard, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Output is directed through the GM 10-speed automatic transmission.
Production of the 2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 is set to commence early next year. Pricing will start at $78,490.

I truly do not know of a single person that is going to spend these insane prices on an off-road pickup truck, only to take it trail running and the beat tar out of it. The ZR2, Raptor and TRX are all $80k+. Absolutely ridiculous…
If you want to build a nasty trail rig, buy an older 4X4 platform and build it yourself. Wheels, tires, suspension, lockers, etc.. You wouldn’t even spend 1/4 of the price and this “home-made go buggy” will go places that these trucks wouldn’t dare.
The Trail Boss ride is so undesirable, in my opinion. I can only imagine this rides even worse. I don’t need to pretend I’m going to Baja.
