When this happens, hold down the steering wheel mute button for up to 30 seconds. Your radio will shut down and after a few seconds it will reboot back up and sound will work fine. Saves having to shut the truck off and kill the power.
It will drink DEF like a drunken sailor on leave when towing (programmed that way to meet California pollution regulations), so how many of those miles are towing?
Well, traded the 2013 LT Z71 with only 71,713 kms (45,000 miles) for a new late coming 2022 LTZ 6.2L. Added Bakflip hard trifold, full bin underseat storage, dark essentials package, clear rock guard film on the front end, a-pillars and front of roof, floor liner package, and gatorback flaps. Spent three nights claying, spraying for rail dust, polishing and the putting a synthetic polymer wax on.
GM websites have the ZR2 slotted between the LTZ and High Country on their list of models. So that likely means the MSRP will be around where a more loaded LTZ prices, or just below where a base High Country starts.
Interesting that on GM websites, they have the ZR2 slotted between the LTZ and High Country. Many thought it would be between the LT Trailboss and the LTZ. With it being above the LTZ, pricing will probably reflect that.
Yes, only 1/2" more ground clearance (as the lowest part of the truck is the usually the rear diff, and the larger tires will only give it minimal increase in clearance. But I was talking about the suspension lifts (which helps with approach, break-over and departure angles when off-roading).
Not a fair comparison as yes the 6.2 gets the same or better mileage than the old model 5.3's with AFM and 6-speeds or regular 5.3 from older vehicles. But the new 5.3 with DFM and 8/10 speeds still gets better mileage than the new DFM 6.2. And the gap widens another 1 mpg if the 6.2 runs regular gas.
In one of the vids, they mention the ZR2 has a 1 to 1.5 inch higher lift than the regular TB (either 1" front, rear 1.5" or vise versa). Done to fit the larger tires than the TB.
So far I like what I see. Exterior wise, I do like the full width bumper with the curtains being curtailed (get it....) back a bit. I like the lighting setup. The only thing I need to see in person is the grille cross bar being so high and not centered top to bottom (my OCD will have issues).
Interior wise, huge improvement. Love the screen and the fact that the digital dash is standard on LT and up. I don't mind the console shifter as I usually only have a couple drinks, my phone and perhaps a pair of gloves in my current console. I do like the wireless charging design where it slides down under the center console storage area, out of the way and it won't slide all over when braking. I do question the knobs down on the lower left of the dash. It looks like they moved all the 4x4 and lighting knobs back down where your left knee is. They could have left them in the upper left instead of that large black plastic panel.
Bumping the power on the 2.7L is amazing, but the 5.3L needs to also have over 400 torque, and preferably closer to 400 hp to be competitive (yes, a standard 10-speed would help it in all trims).
Overall, good first impressions, but again, seeing in person will make final judgement.
