2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison: Return of the Extreme Adventurer

•    Chevrolet presents the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison.

In 2017, when Chevrolet introduced the ZR2 variant of its Chevrolet Colorado, we discovered a vehicle with extraordinary off-road skills. Nothing ever being never enough in this segment, in 2019 the company added a Bison variant, even more capable of going far off the beaten track.

Chevrolet is following the same strategy with the new generation of the Colorado as it did with the old one: first the introduction of the model, followed by the ZR2 edition, then the Bison variant. This version, to give you an idea, is conceived to compete with the Raptor variant of the Ford Ranger, as well as the new Trailhunter version of the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma.

To understand what distinguishes the Bison version, first a refresher concerning what defines the ZR2, since the former is built from the latter.

What is the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2?

Basically, the Colorado ZR2 is equipped with lockable front and rear differentials, 33-inch tires and DSVV (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) shock absorbers supplied by Ontario-based Multimatic. The latter use separate chambers to control the flow of oil required inside the shock absorber during off-road driving, resulting in extremely rapid adjustments to get the right performance on uneven surfaces. What's more, they ensure even smoother ride on asphalt.
