Chevy’s new AEV-equipped ZR2
It’s named for the largest mammal in North America, one that is surprisingly agile and quick. The ’19 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison combines the talents of Chevrolet’s high-performance, off-road Colorado ZR2 that came to GM’s midsized lineup in 2017 with an upfit from highly regarded American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), one of the world’s leading suppliers of aftermarket parts and accessories for 4WD adventuring and competition. AEV, known for add-on packages and toughened turnkey adaptations of Jeep and Ram vehicles, in particular, uses an image of a charging bovine as its logo.
Carried over from the Colorado ZR2 is a full suite of off-road technology with classexclusive front and rear locking differentials and Multimatic DSSV dampers, off-road rocker protection, cast-iron control arms, and Chevy’s Autotrac transfer case. The all-new Bison, a production version of a 2017 SEMA Show concept, targets off-road, desert-running, and rockcrawling enthusiasts looking for a factory-warranted pickup with more robust capability. It adds five AEV-designed skidplates constructed of hard, durable high-strengthstamped steel to provide undercarriage cover for the engine oil pan, fuel tank, transfer case, and front and rear differentials for protection over rocky and rugged terrain.
