Introducing the Brand-New Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison: An Unmatched Off-Road Beast
Last July, the highly anticipated fully refreshed lineup of the Chevrolet Colorado was unveiled, showcasing the incredible capabilities of the all-new Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. However, one remarkable member was missing from the family at that time—the rugged and fierce ZR2 Bison. Now, we are thrilled to announce that the 2024 Colorado ZR2 Bison has made its grand debut and will hit the market early this fall.
The latest Bison package builds upon the already impressive ZR2 trim and chassis, incorporating a range of top-notch accessories from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) to elevate the pickup’s performance to new heights. Additionally, it receives an upgraded suspension and various hardware enhancements, including Multimatic front and rear jounce control dampers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and power-locking front and rear differentials.
The AEV kit is a true game-changer, offering a heavy-duty front bumper capable of accommodating a winch, a rear bumper, and fender flares that house awe-inspiring 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels wrapped in massive 35-inch tires. As the spare tire no longer fits underneath the bed, it now finds its new home on the standard AEV bed-mounted carrier, cleverly positioned off-center to minimize obstruction of rearward visibility.
But that’s not all! The truck’s upgrades extend to increased underbody protection as well. The Bison boasts an impressive arsenal of five boron steel skid plates, each serving a specific purpose—for the radiator, steering, transmission and transfer case, fuel tank, and differential. The vehicle also comes equipped with a practical spray-in bedliner, the iconic Chevrolet “Flowtie” front badge proudly displayed in the grille, and distinctive AEV branding on the exterior. Inside the cabin, you’ll find AEV logos adorning the front headrests and all-weather floor mats, further emphasizing the vehicle’s exclusivity.
Powering the ZR2 Bison is Chevrolet’s mighty 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four engine in its high-output configuration. This robust powerplant unleashes an impressive 310 horsepower and a staggering 430 pound-feet of torque, making it the most potent engine option available for the Colorado. Paired with the automaker’s refined eight-speed automatic gearbox, the ZR2 Bison features a two-speed transfer case, four-wheel drive, and a Baja Mode complete with launch control that learns and adapts to various surfaces, ensuring unrivaled performance in any terrain.
In terms of off-road prowess, the Bison offers an astonishing 12.2 inches of ground clearance, outperforming its ZR2 sibling by an additional 1.5 inches. However, it’s worth noting that the ZR2 surpasses the Bison in terms of approach angle due to the latter’s winch-capable bumper design, which slightly encroaches on this measurement.
Given the Bison’s enhanced features and accessories, it does carry some additional weight, tipping the scales at 5,265 pounds compared to the ZR2’s rating of 4,949 pounds.
Chevrolet enthusiasts will be delighted to know that the 2024 ZR2 Bison comes with several optional features, including a sunroof and various cabin materials to suit individual preferences. While the starting price for the Bison is yet to be announced by the company, it is safe to assume that it will exceed the ZR2’s base price, which currently stands at $48,295 for the 2023 model year (including the $1,495 destination charge). Chevy is expected to disclose this information, along with the fuel economy rating, closer to the trucks’ on-sale date, providing potential buyers with a comprehensive overview
of what to expect from this remarkable off-road marvel.
In summary, the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison promises to be a force to be reckoned with, combining the ruggedness and reliability of the ZR2 with the exceptional AEV package. This remarkable pickup truck brings an unmatched level of off-road capability, innovative design elements, and unbeatable performance to the table. Get ready to unleash your adventurous spirit and conquer any terrain with the all-new ZR2 Bison by your side!
