Chevy Colorado ZR2 concept is off-road trail ready - Examiner.com
The new Colorado was designed to fill a pickup truck segment demand for a near full-size capable truck with a smaller footprint and priced under $40,000 fully equipped. Despite including a Z71 more rugged looking trim level, there was immediate demand from a segment of users for a sport truck version that could go head to head with the sport truck versions of the Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier. Taking from the heritage of the ZR2 including the off-road inspired S-10 BAJA from 1988 through 1991, the new Colorado ZR2 gets right in your face with a stance that is four inches wider than a production Colorado Z71. New front and rear fascias... The suspension of the Colorado ZR2 features King mono-tube coil-over shock absorbers that have greater suspension travel with remote-mounted fluid reservoirs matched with all-new front control arms, says Chevrolet. The ZR2 challenges the trail with 275/65R18 off-road tires mounted on custom 18-inch aluminum multi-spoke, bead-lock-style wheels. The wheel design features a raw aluminum appearance with black accents in the center with the bolt-on bead lock cover in orange-anodized aluminum. Source: www.examiner.com
