7 Reasons to Love the 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2
From off-road adventures to navigating the city, the 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 takes on whatever you throw at it.
Not only does it feature animated headlights, a new front fascia, and a 13.4-inch touchscreen, but this new truck also offers hands-free driving technology, and an updated electronic shifter.
These are all great features that admittedly make us a little giddy. However, the following seven features seal the deal for us.
Accident Bumper Replacement
In the event that your Silverado ZR2 faceplants with Mother Nature, you’ll find that the front bumper is easy to replace. Chevy designed large plastic end caps for that very reason.
Multimatic Dampers
Chevy’s multimatic shocks give the ZR2 more suspension, and it uses three separate spool valves that allow the truck to keep up with a changing terrain.
Additionally, Chevy installed ZR2-specific coil springs for the front of the vehicle and leaf springs for the rear. You can just imagine the ride quality!
Daytime Running Lights
On the front fascia of the Chevy ZR2 are wing-shaped running lights with an animated lighting sequence for approach and exit.
While this feature is available on the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT trims and above, the ZR2 is the only model to get extra LED light crumbs on the grille.
Flowtie
First introduced on the 2014 track car, the Flowtie helps cool engine and oil temperatures. Basically, the Flowtie—a riff on the brand’s signature bowtie—was created by removing the gold center of Chevy’s emblem which sits on the truck’s grille.
This simple design increases the grille’s effective open area, allowing an additional three cubic meters of air per minute to slip under the hood. That, in turn, reduces engine and oil temperatures.
The ZR2 also boasts a 420 hp 6.2-liter V8 with 460 pound-feet of torque. The maximum towing capacity is 8900 pounds!
33 Inch Tires (and What They’ll Do)
Larger tires—an inch larger than the Silverado Trail Boss—means the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 has more ground clearance. And with the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MTs, these tires are built for durability and traction without creating a major howling noise on the highway.
Locking Differentials
With big tires and more ground clearance means more room for fun on the off-road. The good news is with front and rear e-lock differentials, you’ll get out of a sticky situation easier.
Dual Mufflers
Hidden under the rear bumper of the ZR2 are dual mufflers. These mufflers are specifically designed to help prevent damage to exhaust components and to help with departure angles. They are especially handy when you’re trying to climb out of a rocky terrain.
We told you the updates were impressive. But that’s not all! The interior has its own set of impressive additions.
Chevy has added a 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system as well as Google’s voice assistance, maps, Wi-Fi, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
With leather-trimmed seats and sporty dark trim, comfort is A+. The ZR2 has a crew-cab body style, so you’ll have plenty of passenger space, especially in the backseat.
