Skid plates, aggressive stance, fender flares, off road tires, it's all there.
If this is a ZR2, big props to GM. The era of being risk averse might almost be over.

Awful, in the 2nd picture I would have though it was a picture of the truck locking up its brakes with nose dive.

I thought the ZR2 concept with a diesel was an awesome smaller truck. Although I think it would benefit alot more with an 8 speed transmission to take advantage of the tq better.
I am waiting to see what the Nissan Frontier with the 2.8l Cummins 4cyl and 8 speed auto is going to turn out like. Supposedly about 220 hp and 400 ft lbs tq. Get less MPG but the 8 speed will make up for it and still get more power and it is needed in a truck. That is why I am surprised gm went with a 6 speed auto. Now a 6 speed manual would have been nice though. Last edited by drivingagain; 02-19-2016 at 10:14 AM. |

It would be sweet if they put the LT1 with the A8.
I wonder how much of the realistic components from the concept will make it to production.

Wow that's nice. If I was in the market for a truck that would be it.

Looks nice, hope they don't take forever to build it. Put a V8 in it too for crying out loud.

Theoretically if GM releases this for MY2017, Colorado could win MotorTrend TOTY 3 times in a row.

Looking forward to seeing what the production version looks like. No way they are going to use those wheels....hopefully not.
I actually don't mind a little rake, and I see the usefulness for it (truck is level when hauling) but this one looks like it may have a bit more rake than even I'd like to see. Glad to see this coming!

An Xtreme Colorado or Canyon with the LT1 would be extremely tempting to me to sell off my Camaro and my current Colorado for it lol. But that said, it would have to be a crew cab, and possibly even 4x4 to be feasible for me. No sport Colorado with the LT1 is getting 4x4.

Regarding the powertrain, this thing looks to be a gasser from the tailpipe.
