The Silverado is known for its reliability when it comes to work, but with the ZR2, it adds a whole new level of reliability when it comes to recreation. Let’s see what makes this truck worthy of having such a high spot in the Silverado lineup.
Key takeaways

The ZR2 starts at $71,895. It is the highest trim level for the Silverado 1500, and it’s as unique as it gets. The ZR2 comes standard with a large 13.4-inch infotainment system with Google built-in. This infotainment system comes with wireless phone connectivity, as well as voice-activated technology making it easier and safer to control your apps without having to take your eyes off of the road or hands off the wheel. The ZR2 also comes with a Bose premium sound system with 7 speakers, with a richbass woofer, giving crystal clear audio.
While inside the truck you’re treated to unrivaled comfort as the ZR2 comes with heated seats for every seating position, making sure that everyone remains warm, even on the coldest days. The driver also gets treated to a heated, wrapped steering wheel, making sure that even your hands stay warm.
The exterior of the vehicle is as unique as it comes with 18-inch aluminum machined face wheels that come with black spokes and an oxide gold painted outer ring, making these wheels a real attention grabber. While the wheels are sleek in their own right, so are the bumpers on the ZR2 as they’re a high gloss black, giving the overall appearance of the truck an air of luxury for this rugged vehicle.
What are the changes for the 2024 Silverado ZR2?
For 2024, Chevy has given the Silverado 1500 ZR2 a new engine option. The new engine is the 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine that’s paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine can produce 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque. The engine that was standard for 2023 is still available, however at a higher price, this engine is the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8. The power this engine can produce is 420 horsepower, and 460 lb-ft of torque.
Is the Silverado ZR2 lifted?
Yes, the ZR2 comes lifted from the factory.
The ZR2 comes with a high-performance lifted suspension, giving it an extra few inches of height, but the mechanical features don’t stop there, you’re treated to driver-selectable full-locking differential that allows, when activated, both wheels to lock and turn in unison, making the truck have better traction.
When you’re out in nature, there’s nothing worse than potentially damaging the underside of your truck, but with the standard skid plates, you don’t have to worry, this skid plate will protect the vital parts of the truck so the only thing you have to worry about is having fun.
Being that the truck is lifted you may think that makes it harder to get into the bed of the truck, but Chevy is one step ahead! They’ve added a CornerStep rear bumper, this bumper comes with steps located on either side of the bumper, making it easier to get into the bed of the truck.
