Holy smokes, the new Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is almost here. Rivals like the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro should be nervous because the 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 means business. Check out what new off-roading upgrades the ZR2 has to flex. Show
What comes with the 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2? 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 teaser | Chevrolet The 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 is almost here. It will debut on July 28, so that’s only a few more weeks away. Until we see the full reveal, we have a few teasers and spy photos to help us speculate about how beefy the new truck is. Reportedly, the Colorado ZR2 will ride on the updated version of the 31xx midsize truck platform that’s known as the 31xx-2. The updated architecture is more durable for off-roading improvements and is expected to accommodate full electrification. The Chevrolet ZR2 will probably ride on a factory-installed suspension lift with aluminum wheels wrapped in massive off-roading all-terrain tires. It looks like the truck has larger fender flares for protection, but they don’t look as awkward as the ones on the Ford Bronco Raptor. Speaking of protection, the undercarriage is protected by skid plates. The suspension will probably feature Multimatic DSSV dampers for a smooth ride. Plus, the Colorado ZR2 has a new Baja Mode for rock crawling. It’s safe to expect a two-speed transfer case, a locking differential in the front and rear, hill start assist, and hill descent control. How much power does the Colorado ZR2 have?According to The Drive, the 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 could come with the current generation’s 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with 181 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. However, it could be updated to provide more power. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque might be dropped across the entire lineup. That leaves the 3.6-liter V6 engine with 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque available. It could gain the 2.7-liter turbo-four engine from the Chevy Silverado that cranks out 310 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque to outmuscle the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. Plus, the six-speed automatic transmission might be replaced by a 10-speed automatic transmission. The Colorado can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 6.1 seconds, which is excellent for a midsize truck. However, we would like the see the ZR2 model gain a little extra muscle. When properly equipped, the Colorado can tow up to 7,700 lbs and carry a payload of up to 1,560 lbs. It could gain more hauling power but doesn’t need it. How much does the 2023 Colorado ZR2 cost?2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 | Chevrolet The 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 could start around $44,000. The current model starts at about $42,600, but the price will likely increase to cover the costs of exterior and interior upgrades. The Colorado is being fully redesigned for the 2023 model year. Along with an upgraded suspension, the Colorado will have a new face. The LED headlights will feature a sleek design, the grille shape could change, and the front bumper might get a more prominent shape. The new taillights and rear-end design seem to borrow from the larger Silverado. Also, we spot a new sports bar and an LED light bar, meaning unique off-roading accessories. It won’t be long before an overlanding build arrives. Stay tuned for the official price and specs. We only have to wait a little longer to learn about the Chevy Colorado ZR2, but we already know it’s swinging for the fences. Keyword: The 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Needs to Be on Your Radar The fully-redesigned 2023 GMC Canyon pickup truck release date is on the horizon. The third generation cousin to the Chevrolet Colorado will feature a more aggressive exterior look, following similar design language
from General Motors seen (GM) across its truck and SUV lineup. So when does the all-new Canyon come out? GMC recently announced the official reveal date for the 2023 GMC Canyon pickup truck, which is slated for August 11, 2022.
As of September 14, 2022, GMC‘s 2023 Canyon page says that initial availability is expected in early 2023, with the AT4X trim available in spring 2023. GMC says the starting price will be around $40,000. 2023 GMC Canyon’s reimagined exteriorRELATED: GM Slowly Reveals 2023 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon: Should We Be Excited? The 2023 GMC Canyon will use an updated version of GM’s current GMT-31XX body-on-frame architecture, internally known as the 31XX-2. But it will be wrapped in a larger, more angular body with increased bumper clearance. This design deviates from the current model’s hefty look for an imposing, off-road-ready appearance. Along with the body upgrades, GM has swapped the old-fashioned, blocky headlights for slimmer LED lighting signatures. These are seen placed near the top of the front fascia, with fog lights in a ducting array underneath. The latest Canyon will also offer the six-function MultiPro tailgate on the Sierra 1500 and Heavy Duty models. It consists of the primary gate with a smaller inner gate hinged within it to allow different user combinations. Demand for extended cab pickup trucks has declined in recent years. However, rumors speculate that the 2023 GMC Canyon will arrive on dealer lots with the following cab configurations:
2023 GMC Canyon’s modernized interiorRELATED: The 2021 GMC Canyon Is the Only Midsize Truck That Keeps You Cool in More Ways Than 1 Like its Colorado cousin, the GMC Canyon has always come standard with a rather chunky, underwhelming interior. That’s all to change, however, as the upcoming Canyon interior will be radically different, matching the futuristic brawn of its exterior. Spy photos provided by GM Authority indicate a modernized, landscape-oriented infotainment screen in the center similar to the unit in the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and much bigger than the seven-inch screen in the current Canyon. Moreover, the 2023 GMC Canyon sports chrome-trimmed rotary control knobs on the piano-black display and a thin row of HVAC buttons directly below the infotainment screen, giving finesse to a typically utilitarian cab. New driver controls accenting the redesigned steering wheel’s three and nine o’clock arms are just the tip of a new approach to creature comforts for the 2023 GMC Canyon. There’s even detailed stitching on the steering, adding an opulent touch to the more affluent-looking cockpit. We imagine it will be offered in various colors beyond the standard black. Premium trim levels will have dual climate control, heated and vented seats, and a new console-mounted shifter. Spy photos also suggest wood-inlaid door handles, presumably on models like the Denali and above. Although the current Canyon doesn’t include many safety features compared to other GM offerings, the 2023 Canyon is expected to be available with a suite of advanced safety features. A rearview camera and Teen Driver system will be standard, but lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rear parking sensors, and even GM’s Super Cruise will round out top-of-the-line specs. 2023 GMC Canyon’s impressive performance specsBuyers can select a current Canyon with either the 2.5 liter I-4 LCV or 3.6L V-6 LGZ gasoline engines or the 2.8 liter I-4 LWN diesel, all teamed with a six or eight-speed automatic transmission. However, GM may ditch those for the 2023 model and offer only the turbocharged 2.7-liter I-4 L3B found in the Sierra 1500 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, GMAuthority reports. Regardless, the Tripower L3B puts out an impressive 310 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 348 lb-ft of torque at just 1500 rpm. The 2023 GMC Canyon will be available with both two-wheel and four-wheel drive and is anticipated to have roughly the same towing capacity, maxing out at a best-in-class 7,700 pounds and 1,580-pound bed capacity. 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X: An Off-Road ChallengerThe Canyon has been almost identical to the Colorado since the beginning, with both trucks sharing a frame, powertrain, interior, and appearance. Yet, GM’s only midsize off-road capable, trophy truck-esque offering was the trail-pounding Colorado ZR2. One of the 2023 GMC Canyon’s most significant changes is its mud-slinging performance package to complement its Chevrolet cousin. The 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X is expected to share the Colorado ZR2’s capable rigging. This features GM’s StabiliTrak control system with advanced hill descent. Additionally, it gets automatic locking front and rear differentials, Multimatic spool-valve dampers, and upgraded suspension components, GMC claims. RELATED: Revealed!
