More Standard Equipment on the Rugged ZR2
For those seeking maximum off-road performance, the 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 trim comes packed with even more standard features compared to the 2025 model. Tackle the toughest terrain near Summersville, WV with confidence thanks to the ZR2's standard 6.2-liter V8 engine, front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and 33-inch MT tires.
Inside the cabin, the ZR2 now boasts standard 10-way power front seats, dual-zone climate control, a spray-on bedliner, and all-weather floor liners to keep the interior protected from mud and debris.
