The 2023 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is a high-performance version of the all-new truck, but Chevy is about to step things up.
The automaker has revealed the first photos of the upcoming ZR2 Bison, which is an even more extreme version of the midsize pickup.
The Bison will be a collaboration with custom truck parts outfit American Expedition Vehicles AEV, which designed a similar upgrade for the full-size Silverado pickup.
The standard Colorado ZR2 is the most powerful model in the lineup thanks to a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.
