by AutoExpert | 19 December, 2024
The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison stands out as the ultimate off-road truck this year. Chevy took the already capable ZR2 and made it even better with the Bison trim, giving it unmatched off-road capability and comfort.
Let's find out why the Colorado ZR2 Bison:
Specs:
- Engine: Turbocharged 2.7L Inline-Four
- Power: 310 hp / 430 lb-ft
- Fuel Economy: 16 MPG combined

The Bison comes with 35-inch tires, heavy-duty skid plates, front and rear locking differentials, and even an underbody camera to spot obstacles. It also features hydraulic bump stops and Chevy’s Multimatic spool-valve dampers, delivering an incredibly smooth ride. With plenty of power and towing capability, it’s ready for anything.
At just over $60,000, it’s pricey, but for serious off-roaders, the Bison is difficult to beat.
Runner-Up: The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid
The new Tacoma Hybrid is a huge upgrade. It pairs a turbocharged 2.4L engine with an electric motor, giving you 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque while still getting 23 MPG combined. It’s smooth, quick, and perfect for both on-road driving and off-road adventures.
Toyota offers it in trims like the TRD Off-Road, the rugged Trailhunter, and the upscale Limited, so there’s something for everyone. Starting at $47,795, it’s powerful, versatile, and a fantastic choice for Tacoma fans.
Runner-Up: The 2024 Ford F-150
The 2024 Ford F-150 continues to dominate. Updates include a stronger base engine, new tech like the hands-free BlueCruise, and the clever Pro Access Tailgate. Hybrid models even offer Pro Power Onboard, turning the truck into a mobile generator.
With unmatched towing and hauling capability, a comfortable ride, and plenty of engine options, the F-150 remains America’s favorite truck. Prices start at $38,765, making it a solid pick for anyone who needs a dependable workhorse.
