    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    Here is a video list of factory available suspension upgrades you can get for the ZR2! These are the exact parts used on the Hall race/Baja truck. Nice... but $21k total. Some side items were added in there with Overlanders in mind. Just watch... these are all bolt-on items that can be bought...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    Looks like the starting price for the Bison will be around $48k for the extended cab and $49.5k for the crew cab allegedly. Not bad! https://jalopnik.com/the-2019-chevy-colorado-zr2-bison-will-start-at-48-045-1830343229

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    Airbag Update: I just got some great news on the airbag issue that some folks were experiencing (mainly in ZR2s). GM is officially updating the software! I just saw the news on the TFL truck YouTube channel. The title of the video is "Are Chevy Trucks Back or Busted?" Talking trucks #23 I...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    Just found a YouTube video of a ZR2 owner talking about the subject. The curtain airbag issue appears to be an issue for all makes and models of vehicles. I subscribed to him in case he puts out a future vid on the subject. Pretty much stated that GM (all mfrs really) are liable for being...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    One dude was. After they pulled his data and realized he was going pretty slow with light throttle... they finally fixed it. Then suggested he not off road anymore. lol The funny thing is that I have seen a great many videos of these trucks doing crazy things off road. None of them have had...

    2018 Chevy Colorado Z71

    Here is a link to a Colorado LT (Trim level below my Z71) that has a lift with a lot of travel and some larger tires. Seems like the LT would make a wonderful overlanding rig as well. Looked like he had the Auto Locker in the rear in the vid. Just get a Colorado with the factory tow package and...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    No. The 34” tires in the video are not going to be an option sadly. They would have to get re-certified for ratings on towing (effects both acceleration and braking), crash, etc. Plus the larger tires would likely put more strain on things like the CV joints( entire drive train actually), ball...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    Back when I was shopping for a Colorado I found some 2015-2016 WT versions in crew cab 4WD with over 100k mi on them for around $20k dollars. They were the cheapest I had seen so I went a took a look at them. Turned out all 3 trucks had been Texas Oil Rig worker trucks for several years. There...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    That is fair. GM does not make their airbags I am sure. So they likely already switched to a different mfr by now. I have heard about that too. I wonder if it was a sensor or the airbags themselves. I will do a little looking around in internet land to see what I can learn about this. EDIT: I...

    2018 Chevy Colorado Z71

    Thanks Zillion! I shall look into them. I want to know what the difference is in lumens. My Reasoning for Staying Stock: The following vid is of a guy having CV joint issues while out on the trail. I watch most of his vids. He needs to start carrying spare steering components and CV joints...

    Why I'll never buy another Chevy!

    There is definitely a reason everyone throws LS motors into their vehicles. Saw a few good YouTube vids on the reasons why... which are many.

    Why I'll never buy another Chevy!

    Nice. That sounds like there is a good reason there is such a Jeep following where you live. lol If I were on the market for a new 4x4 SUV I would have went with the 4Runner for sure. Those things are the perfect size. Capable, reliable, and comfortable. My wife really wants one some day. I...

    Why I'll never buy another Chevy!

    Summed up you wish GM had more innovation and a midsize offering... so you are going to be a Jeep and Toyota guy for now until that changes. Neither of those two vehicle lineups are known for innovation. They do make some great vehicles though. The Colorado is a midsize. It is worth a look...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    I spent a little time (Several Weeks) in the modern day gold rush (Oil) town up on the North Slope in northern Alaska. It was all a 50/50 mix of Chevy and Ford trucks up there. Saw one Dodge truck the whole time I was there. I was driving it and it was a Govt. truck. lol I have seen so many...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    I bet it (Tacoma diesel)will be a surprise entry in the future sometime if there proves to be a market for it. Most folks don’t know that about that Diesel engine(2.8 Chevy/VM diesel)There are a lot out there with a lot of miles on them. So they are proven. The transmission is used in heavier...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    If it is at that price then I am sure there will be a lot of folks out there that go for it. I have been seeing more and more ZR2s on the roads around where I live. Having the level of armor stepped up a few notches from the factory will be worth if for a lot of folks. My prediction... these...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    It probably will! Which, is one of the reasons why I am happy with my Z71. I talked the price down to $32k from the $38k that was on the sticker. All it really needs is some undercarriage armor for a grand or so(if I decide to do rough stuff)... and I will be ready to go. Both trucks will...

    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    This is a super in depth look at what went into the design of the new Bison that will be coming out in January. (though you can put them on order in a few weeks allegedly) You can tell by the video that GM and AEV worked very hard and spent probably 15 million to develop this truck. The...
