In case you haven’t noticed, off-road trucks are a thing and they’re gaining in popularity. No longer do you need to upfit a garden variety pickup with aftermarket parts to accomplish the task. Companies like GM are providing the opportunity to buy these serious off-road trucks straight from the factory. Case in point the new 2017 Colorado ZR2; a midsize truck that comes heavily modified to excel in a variety of challenging environments. Chevy calls it a performance halo for the Colorado lineup and it can be spec’d in either extended cab with long box or crew cab with short box. The 3.6 V6 and 2.8-liter Duramax diesel engines are offered. Base MSRP is $41,000.
