2024 Chevy Silverado ZR2: Off-Road Beast, Daily Comfort
The new Chevy Silverado ZR2 is a tough, all-around off-road truck that brings serious off-road power while still being practical for everyday use.
It delivers solid performance on any terrain, without the hefty price tag of its flashier rivals like the F-150 Raptor, Tacoma TRD Off-Road, & AT4X.
Performance
The Silverado ZR2 is powered by a 6.2L V8 engine, pumping 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with a 10-speed AT in four-wheel drive.
Real-world tests show the gas V8 version can hit 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds, which is seriously fast for a full-size off-roader.
With front and rear locking differentials and Multimatic DSSV shocks, the ZR2 eats up tough trails while staying smooth on the street.
Comfort and Interior
Despite its rugged exterior, the ZR2 is surprisingly plush. You get leather seats (heated and ventilated in the front), a heated steering wheel, and plenty of space inside for both passengers and gear.
It’s ready for rough conditions, but it’s still easy to live with day to day.
Tech Features
A 13.4-inch touchscreen is front and center with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
There’s also wireless charging, a premium Bose sound system, and off-road-specific tech like underbody cameras and a heads-up display if you opt for a few upgrades.
Towing and Storage
The ZR2 can tow up to 8,900 lbs, which means you can haul a trailer, boat, or whatever else you’ve got lined up for the weekend.
The bed features a spray-on liner and built-in tie-downs to keep everything secure, with plenty of options for storing your tools or off-road essentials.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is about what you’d expect for a truck of this size and power, around 14 MPG in the city and 17 MPG on the highway. It’s not built for fuel efficiency, but it's on par for its class.
Value
Priced at around $75,000, the Silverado ZR2 gives you serious off-road performance, comfort, and high-end tech for a price that’s still lower than big-name competitors like the Ford Raptor or Ram TRX.
If you need a full-size truck that handles hardcore trails but still works for daily life, the Silverado ZR2 checks all the boxes.
What’s included in the ZR2 package?
The ZR2 package gives the Silverado serious off-road chops. You’re getting:
Multimatic DSSV shocks
Locking front and rear differentials
Skid plates for protection
33-inch all-terrain tires
There’s also a lifted suspension and a steel front bumper for better clearance. It’s everything you need to hit the trails hard but still practical for everyday driving.
What is the difference between the ZR2 and ZR2 Bison?
The ZR2 Bison adds even more off-road armor to the standard ZR2 setup. You still get the same key features like Multimatic shocks and locking diffs, but with added extras:
Boron skid plates for extra protection
Beefed-up bumpers
Bigger 35-inch tires for more clearance
If you’re looking for even more protection and performance, the Bison is your upgrade.
