While Chevrolet hasn't officially confirmed anything yet, the excitement surrounding the Silverado EV ZR2 is palpable. Chevy gives us a sneak peek at a vehicle that combines state-of-the-art electric performance with robust off-road capabilities.
The Silverado EV ZR2 concept is equipped with a remarkable array of enhancements for off-road adventures:
- Lifted Suspension: Calibrated for challenging terrains.
- Multimatic Dampers: Enhances handling in rugged conditions.
- Locking Differentials: Provides extra traction on uneven surfaces.
- Underbody Skid Protection: Shields essential components from harsh impacts.
- Tires: Fitted with 37-inch BF Goodrich KM3 Mud-Terrain tires.
The ZR2 concept stands apart from the Silverado EV RST with a powerful tri-motor system, potentially sourced from its cousin, the Hummer EV 3X. You can expect:
- Power: A breathtaking 1,100 hp.
- Torque: An immense 11,500 lb-ft.
Does this imply that a production version might include this formidable setup? It's a possibility, particularly since it needs to surpass the upcoming Silverado EV Trail Boss.
Incorporating this triple-motor system could necessitate significant modifications to the truck's chassis and bed to ensure seamless integration without compromising utility.
Chevy enthusiasts can witness the prowess of the 2025 Silverado EV ZR2 at the Mint 400 from March 5-9. Keep in touch with MotorTrend for the latest updates on the upcoming Silverado EV Trail Boss.
