2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Off-Road Features and Engine Specs<\/h2>\n\n\n

The new Colorado ZR2 is here to change the expectations for off-road trucks in the market. Chevy’s new Colorado ZR2 will feature more off-road technology than any other midsize pickup and it combines the maneuverability of a midsize pickup truck with a host of new off-road features. Compared to the standard Colorado<\/a>, the ZR2 features a much wider track and a lifted suspension. Functional rockers have been added for better performance over rocks and obstacles and the front and rear bumpers have been modified for better off-road clearance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The 2017 Colorado ZR2 shares its powertrains with the standard 2017 Colorado and therefore it will be the only extreme production off-road truck to offer the choice of gas or diesel engines. 2017 Colorado ZR2 owners will have the choice between the all-new 3.6-liter V6 paired with a class-exclusive Hydra-Matic 8L45 8-speed automatic transmission or the Duramax diesel engine.<\/p>\n\n\n

When compared to the Colorado Z71, the ZR2 has a more aggressive side profile, with the suspension lifted two inches for greater ground clearance. The steel-tube, functional rocker protectors will be standard equipment on the ZR2 and are strong enough to protect the body side while dragging the truck against a rock face. The ZR2 will also feature 17 x 8-inch aluminum wheels, in a pattern exclusive to the ZR2, wrapped in 31-inch Goodyear Duratrac off-road tires for exceptional traction.<\/p>\n\n\n
