Did chevrolet just reset the bar for off-road pickup trucks with the 2023 Colorado ZR2? Yes, yes it did. Review by joelfeder --

. These gold-sleeved shocks have been upgraded with the rod from the larger Silverado 1500 ZR2 for more damping force and a new tune for more control at speed. The passive dampers have the ability to control the ZR2 while attacking a long sweeper on the road or jumping over a cattle grate off-road. I did both during Chevy’s drive and came away impressed with the body control and smoothness created by the DSSVs.

Like the base Colorado, the ZR2’s front axle moves forward just under three inches for 2023. It rolls on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch Goodyear Territory Mud Terrain tires versus the outgoing truck’s 31-inch rubber. These are the same tires found on thewith the Sasquatch package, but the tread pattern is different on the Chevy. Goodyear makes two versions of these tires. Confused? Me too, but the version Chevy chose is much quieter on the highway with no loud thrum.

In addition to throttle response, Baja mode cracks off quick shifts from the 8-speed automatic transmission and holds gears longer. But there’s a secret unlisted feature that Baja mode brings with it: the Performance Shift Algorithm . Some of the budget-consciousness also affects performance. The lack of trail turn functionality is odd . A five-link rear suspension would further aid ride quality and off-road stability. The lack of shift paddles irks me. A rocker on the gear selector can lock out upper gears when the selector is shifted into L, but there is no manual shift capability.
