Which Trim Level from the 2024 Colorado Lineup can Offroad?
The new 2024 Colorado ZR2 Bison will be the leading trim level when it comes to off-roading capabilities. This specific model is new to the 2024 model lineup and will be able to handle anything you may throw at it when it comes to rough terrain. The ZR2 Bison has been redesigned to have a more aggressive stance, as well as larger tires. With larger 35 inch wheels this ZR2 Bison will be able to crawl over anything that may get in your way.
The ZR2 Bison has a starting price of $60,540, which may be a bit steep for some. If you are looking for the off-road capability that won’t break the bank then the regular ZR2 trim level will be a great option. This is an off road trim level from previous years. This is a much cheaper trim level with a starting price of $48,395.

Is the 2024 Chevy Colorado Worth the Money?
Yes, any of the models from the 2024 Colorado line-up will be well worth the money. We would personally opt for the Trail Boss trim level, which will be right down the middle of the road when it comes to price. With a starting price of $38,895 the Trail Boss will provide a great platform without too much money. The more powerful turbocharged engine will be seen under the hood as well. The updated interior will give a great driving experience while maintaining comfort.
