How does the Chevrolet Silverado HD ZR2 Drive?

I have two perspectives to answer this question:

As a fairly tall, family man, Size certainly isn’t a concern here, this is a massive truck. Not a family car, although it could be, but not very friendly for your average grocery store parking. It’s extremely spacious for driver or any passenger, front or back. For daily driving the truck is over kill, but buy one for its purposely built features and you have the ultimate tool.

As a car enthusiast, I’m 100% a truck guy. This truck was love at 1st sight to me. I was so impressed by it’s size. If I bought one personally I would do absolutely nothing to it, no tire upgrade, no suspension upgrades. I’m seriously considering one…for over kill reasons.

Final thoughts

If you are in the market for a work horse that can take the beating, look no further. I think Chevy has done it right with this truck. I think the facelift is perfect, and I think the price is right.
