The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is a serious midsize pickup with legit off-road chops. The truck’s spool valve shocks are serious performers, the underside is up-armored to handle the rough stuff, and it rocks an all-business look that happens to also increase function. The ZR2 treatment is a very successful formula on the Colorado, and the available turbodiesel engine is a nice touch. Now, it seems, Chevy is seeking to replicate the formula with the full-size 2022 Silverado ZR2, creating a truck to sit above the Trail Boss in the lineup.

All this squares with what our friends at Four Wheeler saw on Chevy’s ZRX race truck, which features DSSV shocks with bodies that were as wide as a can of soda, extra armor, and a 6.2. The ZRX didn’t feature the rock sliders we’re hoping Chevy will fit to the production ZR2 (or offer as an option), and also didn’t feature significantly altered bumpers—although fitting ZR2-style bumpers may have tipped Chevy’s hand about an imminent production version. Either way, with the ZRX race truck and now this official ZR2 teaser, something wicked this way wheels—and we’ll know more about it this fall.
