New Chevy Colorado mega-thread

The access cab version of the ZR2 has been spied testing. This should be an interesting truck - note the distinctly wider rear fender bulges.

 

Hard to say if they are frame-mounted sliders:

So they will be making about 40,000 more Coloranyons a year: http://www.autonews.com/article/201...vistar-paves-the-way-for-more-midsize-pickups

I saw a DC/?B Colorado at the post office and it looked nice, but looked huge too.

Just finished a road trip through 4 states. I saw new Tacoma's and second gens everywhere, very few GM's. They have a ways to go to catch up.

 

New pictures of the ZR2 testing. Looks like the front suspension has been raised a bit. The LCAs are different. In fact it looks like Chevy is trying to copy Toyota. The cantilevered skid on the T-case is a hallmark of older Toyota pickups.

 

^Maybe it's time to put some genuine GM parts on the truck

Interesting. Really would like to see one of the new ZR2s in person

 

Closer look at the front suspension and skid plate

 

Didn't expect this, Multimatic DSSV coilovers on the ZR2!

 

Unveiled today!

Multimatic shocks!

 

Love the factory dual lockers too. Much want!

 

wow... I really like it!

 

FYI, spare parts retail on the Multimatic shocks on the Camaro is ~$8k...

 

Uh oh, Tacoma better watch their back.

 

I'm genuinely excited to see where this goes. Very competitive design and definitely will drive some innovation for Toyota finally.
