It’s impossible to evaluate Chevy’s off-road flagship without mentioning the Raptor or TRX, but measured on its own merits, the Silverado ZR2 shines.

. No creatine-stuffed fenders. No colossal 37-inch tires. No bedside stickers advertising that you bought the expensive one.

The 5,789-pound ZR2 will hit 60 mph in 6.1 seconds and clear the quarter mile in 14.6 seconds at 95.1 mph before crashing into its 98-mph electronic speed limiter. A Raptor with Ford's 450-hp twin-turbo V-6 reaches 60 mph 0.5 second quicker, and a Ram 1500 Rebel with the 395-hp Hemi V-8 needs an additional 0.3 second beyond the Chevy's time. The TRX is in another league.

Chevy's ZR2 takes a purist's approach to off-roading. It finds traction with the help of locking front and rear differentials and a transfer case that offers 2 High, Auto, 4 High, and 4 Low modes. The 33-inch BF Goodrich Wrangler Territory MT tires—the largest that the Silverado body permits—don't need to claw for grip. They simply grab the ground and propel the Silverado forward.
