And then there were three… Chevrolet ZR2s.

Chevrolet has unveiled the first Silverado 2500 HD ZR2 pickup, which brings the high-performance trim to its heavy-duty lineup for the first time.

The full-size truck borrows its style and tech from the midsize Colorado ZR2 and light-duty Silverado 1500 ZR2.

The two models have the highest conquest rates and bring in the youngest customers out of all the high-feature trims Chevy offers on its pickups.

The Silverado 2500 HD's blacked-out grille features a hollow "Flowtie" Chevrolet badge that maximizes cooling for its 401 hp 6.6-liter V8 or an optional 470 hp turbocharged V8 diesel, which cranks out a prodigious 975 lb-ft of torque.

The truck gets a beefed-up suspension with a 1.5-inch lift and an equal increase in wheel articulation that's kept in check by a set of very special Multimatic DSSV (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) dampers. The shocks originally developed for IndyCar and Formula One racing cars and are able to adjust their damping force with varying impacts to keep the body under control over small bumps and the suspension from bottoming out over big ones.

The upscale leather surfaces and other trim materials in its crew cab were chosen to be easy to wipe clean and the ZR2 comes with a 360-degree camera and head-up display with an inclinometer to make it easier to navigate tricky terrain.
