2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 ready to slug it out with Toyota's Tacoma TRD

Chevrolet's new Colorado ZR2 is ready to play rough.

The new ZR2 will square off against Toyota's new Tacoma TRD Pro.

Does the ZR2 have the makings of a baby Raptor? We'll find out soon enough.

A 2-inch lift, special Multimatic shocks and generous skid plates improve the ZR2's rock-crawl readiness.

Skid plates and a redesigned front bumper ensure a better arrival angle.

A special two-tone hood adds visual guts to an already burly front end.

Special spool-valve shocks come from F1 supplier Multimatic.

31-inch off-road meats from Goodyear are mounted on unique 17-inch wheels.
