“If you need one off-roader to do it all, this is the truck. Its suspension is from Multimatic, a race shop best known for exotic track-ready systems,” according to Popular Mechanics writer Ezra Dyer. “Compared to the standard Colorado, the ZR2 gets a two-inch suspension lift and a 3.5-inch wider track. The underbody is protected by skid plates and there are rock rails under the doors.”

Dyer further praised how the Colorado can take a beating with style, which means your off-road adventures won’t know any bounds.

“The Multimatic suspension doesn’t feature the lavish travel of, say, the Raptor’s Fox setup, but it doesn’t need it. You can pound a ZR2 over rhythmic bumps that send the front end off the ground and it’ll somehow soak it all up with grace. But the really killer app is the ZR2’s front and rear locking differentials, which mean that the truck can also handle the kind of technical, demanding trails that were heretofore the exclusive domain of the Wrangler Rubicon.”
