For an additional $500, the bed of the truck received a full size spare mount that takes away from any usefulness out of the bed.
The Colorado ZR2 already is a handsome brute with all of its beefier, off-road upgrades – adding in the Dusk Edition that was fitted to ours came with $3500 price tag and some badass features that took the Colorado ZR2 to the level it needed to be at with 17-inch chunkier wheels, off-road light kit and roof bar. An added bonus is that Chevrolet’s engineering team has also then engineered it to perform well with two locking differentials, a 2-inch lift, upgraded suspension, downhill crawl assist and a whole host of other modified performance to make this thing do just about anything. The idea of the Colorado ZR2 is a brilliant one – offering a form of off-road ready adventure without the fuss of having to upgrade it ourselves. You see, we think $51,000 for a moderately equipped truck is expensive – but as these guys explained the 10’s of thousands of dollars they put into there’s, maybe our $51k price tag isn’t as bad as we thought – and everything comes with a factory warranty. After a few minutes of explaining some specs and a couple laughs later, I revealed the price of the Colorado ZR2. However, sitting at a car show in North Scottsdale, parked between a couple of lifted trucks that look like they never saw a day of dirt in their life, the owners wondered over to our mud covered Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and pondered if everything on it was stock or aftermarket. The concept behind having a big off-roader make sense – add a lift kit, some big tires, and some skid plates and viola, you’re off-road ready.
