The Colorado is Chevrolet’s longstanding entry into the booming market for midsize pickups, and is normally associated with homeowners hauling raw materials for domestic projects back from Lowe’s. Chevrolet is rolling out a new Colorado variant that’s got roughhouse play on its mind. The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison is a pure off-roader, designed and built in conjunction with American Expedition Vehicles.

There’s a lot of interesting components to the Bison package. The jounce control dampers come from Multimatic, which specializes in designing shock-control technologies for world-class race cars. The Bison is reported to have best-in-class approach, departure and breakover angles for confronting obstacles. AEV will supply the rear bumper, the winch-capable front bumper and the 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels. Standard power will come from Chevrolet’s turbocharged 2.7-liter engine.
