2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior, Price, Pictures  –  Check this out if you’ve ever wanted to see a full-size Silverado 1500 outfitted with 33-inch off-road tires, Multimatic spool-valve dampers, and a sour expression. Chevy offered a more serious package for individuals who were ready to rock by using their family off-road formula, which was first cooked up for the mid-size Colorado ZR2. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior

2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Redesign and Update Plan

Two engines are available for the Silverado ZR2: a 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower and a 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel with 305 horsepower and turbocharging. Chevrolet has reshaped the front and rear bumpers and repositioned the muffler to prevent its most boisterous Silverado from colliding with small trees. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior

Standard features include a 10-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. Compared to the trophy-truck vigor of the fast-moving Ram 1500 TRX and Ford F-150 Raptor, the ZR2 treatment is more in line with that of the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro and the F-150 Tremor. Chevy includes the 305-horsepower Duramax turbodiesel engine as the standard powerplant for 2026, while otherwise it’s mostly unchanged from the previous year’s truck.

Exterior & Interior

Inside, the Silverado ZR2 has a large 13.4-inch touchscreen and a sleek 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The inside has leather seats and sporty black accents. In the middle of the console, between the front seats, you’ll find an electronic shifter in the shape of a T. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior

That being said, we did encounter a few form-related difficulties with the gear lever, such as accidentally pushing the top-mounted Park button with a resting hand. Since the ZR2 is only available in a crew-cab configuration, there is more than enough space for passengers, particularly in the back seat. Those planning to cram more stuff into the cargo box should go for the longer standard-length bed instead than the shorter one.

2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Specs

As standard equipment on every Silverado ZR2 is a massive 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a horizontal orientation. Not only does it have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but it also has Amazon Alexa compatibility, Google Maps, and an app store built right in. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior

Engine & Performance

Two options are located under the ZR2’s bulging hood. First, there’s the Duramax diesel engine, a 3.0-liter inline-six turbocharged powerhouse that can produce 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque. Natural aspiration for the 6.2-liter V-8 engine is an available upgrade from the base Silverado 1500. It has 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. On both versions, a ten-speed automatic transmission is standard. Each ZR2 is equipped with standard four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, and electronic locking front and rear differentials.

The truck’s 18-inch wheels, mounted on savage 33-inch off-road tires, are stabilized by a suspension that has been fine-tuned with high-performance spool-valve dampers. Chevrolet states that the ZR2’s high-mounted steel bumper delivers a 31.8-degree approach angle—more than the equivalent features on the higher Silverado Trail Boss models—and a unique skid-plate package protects the truck’s underside. A greater grasp of the ZR2’s capabilities and the ways in which the Chevy’s shorter track width makes it more manoeuvrable than the F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX has been gained after a ride in Joshua Tree State Park. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior

2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Fuel Economy

The ZR2’s 420 horsepower V-8 engine allows it to achieve 15 combined mpg, with 14 in the city and 17 on the highway, according to EPA estimates. Compared to the Ram TRX and its 12 mpg combined projections from its 702-horsepower supercharged V-8, those numbers are still not very good. A combined estimate of 15 or 16 mpg is available for the F-150 Raptor with its 450-horsepower twin-turbo V-6 engine, which varies with the tires you choose. The ZR2’s EPA figures for the Duramax diesel engine are still under wraps. We can test the ZR2’s actual mpg when we get it going on our highway fuel economy route at 75 mph. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior

2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Safety Features

Driving and hauling are both made easier with the suite of basic driver-assistance technologies and the range of optional helps available on every Silverado. Important safety measures consist of:

• Automated emergency braking and standard forward-collision warning
• Keep your lane assist and lane departure warning systems included as standard equipment.
• Adaptive cruise control is a potential option. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior

2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Release Date & Price

Pricing for the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 ranges from $71,895 to $80,335 with a few different model levels and optional features. More than $10,000 is added to the price of the most luxurious non-off-road Silverado 1500 High Country by adding the ZR2 package. The ZR2’s window sticker really comes dangerously close to matching the base pricing of the vastly superior Ford F-150 Raptor. If you want to take this sophisticated off-roader on an excursion it deserves, we suggest getting the standard ZR2 and keeping the $7000 Bison package for food and camping gear. 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Interior
