2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison – If you are an automotive observer, especially if Chevrolet is one of your favorite brands, you must know the development of its product from time to time.

This is something that Chevrolet tries to offer through the new 2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison. The design and performance are likely the fusion of Colorado Bison and Silverado. Well, it is at least that can be seen from the 30-second video uploaded by Chevy on its official YouTube channel.
Design
The video opens with the appearance of the front lamps of the Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison. If you compare it with other ZR2 series, the fog lamps indeed look different. Besides, it seems that the Silverado ZR2 Bison will also get a stunning steel bumper produced by AEV. If you take a look at the bumper carefully, it may remind you that the same bumper is also owned by the Colorado ZR2 Bison version. Chevy looks like collaborating with AEV more for this pickup truck series. The AEV product is not only for the bumper but also for the wheels. In the video, it is indeed clearly seen that the wheels of this version have that AEV symbol.
At the end of the video, there is a shoot of the tailgating truck. The tailgate looks wide although we don’t know yet if the truck is big enough or not. The tailgate is also dominated by silver color making it look modern yet artistic. Well, it also fits well with the color palette of the truck which is dominated by white.
Upgrades
Unfortunately, that 30-second video doesn’t show many things as well as the details of the truck. But if you are an automotive observer who is interested in Chevy products, you may pay attention to details that have not been in the previous versions. Something interesting is, of course, about the name itself. The Bison series is previously offered in the Colorado variant. Adding the name to Silverado means there will be features or details that are common to Colorado. And that’s true since the bumper of this product is made by AEV, just like Colorado.

The video is mostly saying about the design of the Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison 2023. For the engine and performance, again, we can just guess it. There is no information if there is an engine upgrade for this version. But slightly, here are the things seen from the video. The Silverado ZR2 Bison features an engine of 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a 6.2 liter V-8. It is also equipped with a spool-valve damper and floating 33-inch terrain wheels. The front and rear electric keys are made with a contemporary nuance as both are untouchable. The battery is also forecasted to be above the average compared with some other trucks released in the same year. If it is true, the truck should offer a range of 400 miles as the battery can move all the wheels at the same time the steering wheel.
Release Date and Price
At the end of the video, they say, it is not too long to see this latest version of the Chevy pickup truck on the market. Yes, the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 Bison will be launched this summer.
