The record

GM Performance built the ZR2 to beat the Tacoma TRD Pro and the Raptor’s scale; the DSSV dampers were the first on a production truck and the Bison, developed with American Expedition Vehicles, is its armoured version. The 2023 generation continues both with the 2.7 turbo.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
