Chevrolet Colorado

Chevrolet has revealed the newest addition to its Colorado line up, the ZR2 Bison. Co-developed with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), a firm best known for modifying Jeeps, the ZR2 Bison picks up a number of off-road focused additions over the ZR2. Chevrolet claim AEV went over the vehicle and “identified parts of the truck that would be most vulnerable off road and set about strengthening them.”

Late last week General Motors and Isuzu announced the two companies will be not be jointly developing their next-generation utes, which are currently sold in Australia as the Holden Colorado and Isuzu D-Max. In a media statement released to the media, including Reuters, GM said: "Both GM and Isuzu agree that due to unique requirements for each company, joint development of the next-generation midsize pick-up truck for [global] markets is no longer the optimal model for this project".

A shadowy teaser has been handed down this week for one of two new Chevrolet-badged Colorado concepts that will appear at next week’s 2016 Bangkok motor show. General Motors has cleverly blacked out most of the show car’s details, although it is clear that off-roading fans can expect to see a strong focus on new heavy-duty accessories.
