Colorado ZR2 & Silverado 3500 Compete as ‘Best Trucks’ of 2018

Cars.com & PickupTrucks.com editors award top honors to ZR2 for its distinctiveness & off-road ability.

The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, which was recently awarded Four Wheeler’s “2018 Pickup Truck of the Year,” is now also Cars.com’s “Best Pickup Truck of 2018” and was one of two Chevy nominees for the award, along with the Silverado 3500.

Cars.com and PickupTrucks.com editors praised the truck’s “almost perfect combination of passion and technology,” noting that it’s, “not just an interesting example of a new pickup truck, but is quite possibly the most distinctive vehicle that’s come along in years.”

“To fully compete in the off-road space, we couldn’t just launch with a ‘me too’ vehicle,” said Paul Edwards, U.S. Vice President, Chevrolet Marketing. “As part of our strategic plan and continued investment in our truck lineup, ZR2 builds on the boldness of the Colorado program. Our midsize truck line has defied naysayers by selling more than 300,000 trucks in three years, and ZR2 adds forward-looking technology and innovation to the recipe to reach an entirely new group of off-road enthusiast customers.”
