The all-new 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison is a beast of a midsize truck, designed to conquer the most challenging terrains. Made in partnership with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), the Bison has been loaded with enhancements that allow it to reach new heights in off-road performance and capability. Here are the top three things you need to know about this ultimate off-road beast.

• Unparalleled Off-Road Capability

The Colorado ZR2 Bison boasts several features that make it the most off-road-capable midsize truck in its segment. The truck comes with AEV 17-inch beadlock wheels and segment-exclusive 35-inch OD Mud/Terrain tires, allowing it to grip and claw its way through even the most treacherous environments. It has boron steel skid plates and rocker protectors that contribute to best-in-class underbody protection. With a best-in-class approach angle of 38.2 degrees, departure angle of 26 degrees, breakover angle of 26.9 degrees, and ground clearance of 12.2 inches, the Bison can tackle obstacles other trucks would balk at.

AEV’s heavy-duty winch-capable front bumper, rear bumper, and fender flares further enhance the vehicle’s rugged aesthetics and functionality. The Bison also features power-locking front and rear differentials and Multimatic DSSV dampers along with the ZR2 chassis, enhancing its off-road performance without compromising on ride quality, handling, or safety.

•  High-Performance Powertrain

The Colorado ZR2 Bison is equipped with a standard 2.7L Turbo High-Output powertrain that delivers 310 horsepower. This powertrain, combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 4WD system with a 2-speed transfer case, gives the Bison the muscle and capability it needs to tackle any terrain.

•  Premium Infotainment and Safety Features

Even in the wild, the Bison keeps you connected and safe. The Chevrolet infotainment system comes with an 11.3-inch-diagonal color touchscreen and has Google built-in. It also offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and it’s Wi-Fi Hotspot capable.

Safety hasn’t been compromised in the pursuit of off-road capability. The Bison comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, and IntelliBeam auto high beam control. Adaptive Cruise Control is also available as an optional extra.

In summary, the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison, with its blend of rugged capability, high-performance powertrain, and advanced infotainment and safety features, truly stands out as America’s ultimate off-road beast.
