Here's some lame driveway pics of my truck:

19 ZR2 diesel 2.8L

-CCE mild delete tune and trans tune (I'm from AB), Flo-pro turbo back/EGR block, seems to be a cleaner tune.

I'd very much like to know more on this...
My warranty recently ran out, and I installed an inline AG Diesel Solutions 'tune' that is supposed to be non-intrusive of the OEM programing, but my truck coded on it. Turned it off and the check engine light went out, presumably all is now ok.

A couple of winters ago during a cold snap the DEF tank froze up solid to the tune of around $800 worth of work, which was luckily covered under warranty. I'm thinking a DEF delete is worth investigating.

Is anyone having problems with their 2023 model trucks?

Just got this thing. Looking forward to building it out.

Finally got the RLD Designs topper on:

You're running a leveling kit right? I'm looking at putting 33" Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my '22 Colorado ZR2 Bison.

i have an add-a-leaf in the rear and an adjustable coil over conversion in the front. As well as heavier springs.

Mine is overkill so yes you would need at least a level kit in the front and would suggest AEV’s 33” kit.

I had to do a reboot to get the touchscreen working yesterday (hold the phone hang up button for 10s) and the fender flares needed reseating upon delivery. Beyond that, there's a recall for the automatic emergency braking system. The perils of buying the first model year of a new design, I suppose. Aside from that, I love the truck - it's comfortable, hugely capable and in black, it looks like the sort of thing a movie villain would drive.

Only significant modification I've done is adding a BesTop SuperTop - the ZR2 basically includes most of the stuff I'd want to add to the truck from the factory (sliders, front and rear lockers, skid plates, 33s, etc.). I do want to add a fuel tank skid plate and a winch down the road, but I'm not in a huge hurry.

We have a 23' ZR2 and are also facing the age old dilemma of voiding the warranty.

Starting to save up for a Dirtbox Canopy Camper and custom rear leaf springs to make it sit like stock even at max load. Also thinking of a bluetti system so I don't have to go into stock electronics but MAN are those things expensive !

Check out the Ecoflow Delta 2. Right now, they're on Amazon for $610 for just the 1MWh power station or $900 with a 220W folding solar panel bundled in. I just have the power station and it's a pretty fantastic little widget.

Colorado ZR2

Leer 100r with windoors and Thule t-slot roof rails
Alucab load bars with the mid-height feet
Thule Kukanam 3 (regular, not HD) tent.

In this picture fully loaded with camping gear, family, bikes, 100lb bike rack. The front has been leveled 1.25", rear has the CCE add-a-leaf. As such the truck still maintains a 1/2 rake loaded up and rides nicely empty even with the bike rack and tent removed.


Old setup used a Thule bed rack. Was fine except it there was no protection for the gear on the back against the elements or prying eyes.

Might as well post pics here too, since this seems like a place for that sort of thing:




Coming from a long line of sports cars and overboosted hot hatches, I find that I really love this truck, despite it being a wildly different thing. Being able to do dumb mud/off road stuff is pretty great, and I can fill it with enough stuff to do the 'home away from home basically anywhere' thing and not even get close to her limits.

Here’s my ‘18, super simple camp set up at the moment. Leaning towards keeping it that way for easier paths to using it like a truck when I need to but also to assist keeping things light for wheeling trips.



Could use a tiny bit more lift honestly, only about an 1” at the moment probably gunna end up going another inch.

I am fond of your style. I have come from similar breed of hot hatches and lower sporty vehicles. I feel the same with this mid-size (read: full size 10 yrs ago) and the torquey little 4-banger. Bit more fun anywhere vs. just the tarmac or non-pothole roads (any around anymore?). Running over things is nice, too.

Just have a diamond-back tonneau cover on my '23 AT4X thus far. Probably shifting gears for a topper.

single steering column lever with everything (wipers, turn signals, brights) is annoying. Sometimes the signal doesn't want to go off after just "nudging" it for the software 3-blink thing when changing lanes. I don't like that it encourages me to be "that guy" who doesn't signal to save his life...

They've gotten better with OTA updates, no battery killing experienced here. More discovering all that it does in the infotainment displays, driver displays, settings, etc.

It's a Khyber Rack. Outfit from Squamish, BC.
