New 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Gives Chevy a Chance to Truly Compete With Ford and Ram
Chevrolet unveiled the 2022 Silverado ZR2, complete with an upgraded interior and plenty of the latest tech reviewers and drivers have been asking for. The latest model may give Chevy a chance to truly compete with Ford and Ram.
new 2022 Silverado ZR2 aims to deliver what consumers have been asking for, and push them into the ring with Ford and Ram. The new Silverado ZR2 brings much needed updates to its two weakest areas, according to consumers and reviewers: the interior and the lack of cutting edge technology.
This latest development from Chevy is also ready to take on off-road terrain.
The ZR2 comes equipped with multimatic dampers, front and rear e-locking differentials, gigantic mud-terrain tires, an updated bumper design for an improved approach angle, and a 6.2-liter V8 engine. The pickup also has a rear axle capable of hauling a 4,000 maximum, with a towing capacity of 13,000 pounds when equipped properly.
The ZR2 beats the Ford F-150 Raptor or Ram 1500 TRX in towing and payload, and what it lacks in sheer size and power, it makes up for by being more maneuverable. It has its downsides for sure, being a ‘smaller’ off-road truck, but that also means it can navigate backroad trials Ford and Ram can’t hope to explore.
All in all, it seems the 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 may become a contender when choosing an off-road vehicle, depending on driver needs.
However, for many truck users even these extensive changes may not be enough to sway them. While it’s nice to see Chevrolet stepping up the Silverado, it may not be enough to simply compare with Ford and Ram.
