The ZR2 Bison is Unstoppable!! Never thought i'd find a comparable factory off-road pickup that can hang with the Raptor, but the Colorado's slimmer width is a big plus on narrow trails. The diesel engine is packing a wallop of 365 pound-feet of torque, so you can tow an extra 700 pounds (up to 7700) buttttt.... the 0-60-mph time drops 3 seconds from 6.5 to 9.5. It feels pretty glacial on the road until you adjust to its power delivery style.

But then you start to love how it just surges forward without a gear change, or pops off the line in the 0 to 5-mph range. The six-speed automatic is a downside versus the more modern 9-speed transmission in the 3.6-liter V6, but then again, what other lifted and widened off-road special will top 22-mpg on the highway!? That is down about 8-mpg versus the 2WD regular Colorado Diesel, but for hardcore truck guys and diesel fans, this first-ever USA midsize Duramax is truly long-overdue and truly awesome.

No bumper cam on this one -- the gopro fell off the silver front bumper element and was promptly run over by a dumptruck and totally pancaked. Not even the micro-SD memory card came out alive…

Some chase cam from the off-road outing will hopefully make up for lack of forward view. Overall, i would get the gas motor in a heartbeat over this diesel, but for diesel lovers, only this one will do.
