The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (Gen. 2) is an off-road performance trim of the Colorado manufactured by Chevrolet.

It was first shown as a concept performance truck at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, and re-appeared with a production ready model at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show following its initial positive reception.

Offered in two body variations; crew cab with short box or extended cab with long box, the ZR2 has a 3.5" wider track and 2" lift to improve ride height. It is also fitted with dynamic suspension dampers, cast iron arms, a redesigned rear bumper, wider fender flares, and an aluminum skid plate for improved off-road capabilities.

Accompanying the various off-road focused alterations, the ZR2 has an 'Off-road Mode' that changes throttle response, shift calibration, traction control, stability control, and ABS depending on different terrains.
