2019 Chevrolet Colorado

**ONE OWNER** The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is a highly capable mid-size truck with a lot of good things going for it, particularly if you're interested in off-roading. Here's a breakdown of its strengths: Off-Road Prowess: Multimatic DSSV Dampers: This is a standout feature. The Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) shocks provide exceptional damping, adapting to various terrains without needing electronic controls. This results in a surprisingly composed ride on pavement while excelling off-road, soaking up bumps and impacts effectively. Off-Road Specific Hardware: The ZR2 comes with a wider track (3.5 inches wider than standard Colorado), a 2-inch taller suspension, unique upper and lower control arms, and a different front sway bar. Locking Differentials: It's one of the few mid-size trucks with electronic locking front and rear differentials, giving it incredible traction in challenging off-road situations (like rock crawling or deep mud). Good Approach and Departure Angles: The modified bumpers and increased ride height contribute to impressive approach and departure angles, reducing the likelihood of scraping in rough terrain. Durable Build: The ZR2's rugged styling isn't just for show; it's designed to withstand the rigors of off-road adventures, with available boron steel skid plates (especially on the Bison edition) and rocker bars. Maneuverable Size: Compared to full-size off-road trucks like the Ford F-150 Raptor, the Colorado ZR2's smaller dimensions make it more nimble and easier to navigate tight trails and urban environments. Engine Options: 3.6L V6 Engine: This is the standard engine, offering a strong 308 horsepower and good acceleration for a truck. It's often praised for being lively and well-matched with the 8-speed automatic transmission. 2.8L Duramax Diesel Engine: Unique in its class, this optional diesel provides an impressive 369 lb-ft of torque, especially at low RPMs. While not as powerful in terms of horsepower (181 hp), its torque makes it excellent for towing and off-roading, and it also offers better fuel economy.
