About

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison is the ultimate off-road variant of Chevrolet's midsize pickup, powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission with four-wheel drive. Developed in collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles, the Bison adds five hot-stamped boron steel skid plates, modular steel front bumper with Warn winch provision, and 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires. The Multimatic DSSV dampers provide exceptional wheel control over rough terrain, complemented by front and rear electronic locking differentials.

The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison is the ultimate expression of the midsize off-road truck. Developed with American Expedition Vehicles, the Bison package adds five hot-stamped boron steel skid plates and a modular steel front bumper with Warn winch provision that provide genuine expedition-grade protection. The Multimatic DSSV dampers are the star of the show -- they deliver exceptional wheel articulation over rough terrain while maintaining surprisingly composed on-road manners. The 310-horsepower turbo four with 430 lb-ft of torque provides ample power, and the front and rear electronic locking differentials ensure you can extract maximum traction in the toughest conditions. The cabin is well-equipped with modern infotainment and comfortable seating for daily driving. The only notable weakness is the turbocharged four-cylinder soundtrack, which lacks the visceral appeal of a V6 or V8. At around 50 thousand dollars, the ZR2 Bison delivers hardcore capability that rivals more expensive offerings from Toyota and Ford.
