I haven't had time to watch this yet, but just off the top of my head, it seems to me a regular ZR2 would have been plenty good to run with this group, and the Ranger is likely a slight step behind the others in pure trail ability.

Well the ZR2 Bison is mostly an appearance package. Any performance (the DSSV shocks, all the E-diff lockers, etc.) come on the ZR2.

I get that...its why I said what I said. But the Bison is quite a bit pricier, making it seem like not as great a value when paired in this group, as the regular ZR2 likely would.

That said, I have no hate for the Bison. I like it

Put the Bison's "CHEVROLET" grill on a normal ZR2, I am sold.

I agree. The Bison Package wasn't needed here. At $50k+, it seems to be somewhat out of place. Although with options, the Gladiator can be in the $50k's too.

A friend of mine has a ZR2 and it is phenomenal from top to bottom. You would not expect an off-road oriented truck to be so refined on paved roads, then be able to tackle rugged trails. The DSSV's are a modern marvel.

Appearance is subjective, but I believe the 2021 ZR2 looks vicious.

I gotcha. Just letting M3ntal know it's not the current "CHEVROLET" grille. Part of me thinks it is BA also, but then part of me think's it feels a bit uncomplete. I don't know, but I think in the dark grey or satin steel it could be even better.

I really want to see the other trims now, and really want to see the new Canyon also. Just wish they could have gone with new headlamps with the change, but is what it is.

They teased Canyon AT4 and the refresh months ago and it's been crickets ever since. Only slightly annoying.
