The 2017 SEMA Show is right around the corner and Chevrolet is teasing some of their vehicles prior to heading to Las Vegas, Nevada. They will be expanding their midsize truck lineup with Colorado ZR2 Midnight Edition and Dusk Edition.
The 2018 Colorado ZR2 Midnight Edition features an all-black exterior finish, black Chevy bowtie emblems, and 17-inch five-spoke black accessory wheels, including the spare. The ZR2 Midnight also features a black sport bar with off-road LED lighting and ZR2 logos on the sport-bar sail panels. The ZR2 Dusk Edition offers the same content as the ZR2 Midnight, but can be purchased in all other ZR2 exterior finishes, with black accents throughout.
The official names may be the Dusk and Midnight Edition, but we like to think of these as the light side and dark side.
“The Colorado ZR2 Midnight and Dusk Edition models offer customers, even more, personalization choices from the only company with three distinct trucks: midsize, full-size and full-size heavy-duty,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president, Truck Strategy, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “Chevrolet offers more choices because the truck market is too diverse for a ‘one size fits most’ strategy.”
These two new editions feature the same options that make the ZR2 something in itself. The ZR2 is 3.5 inches wider and two inches higher than the regular Colorado. The ZR2 also features Multimatic DSSV dampers which feature position-sensitive spool valve technology.
The two editions also feature a sport bar with LED lights.
The ZR2 Midnight Edition crew cab at the SEMA Show will have the 3.6-liter V6 and feature Chevrolet Accessories and Chevrolet Performance parts available for all ZR2 models, including a bed-mounted spare tire carrier, performance air intake, performance exhaust, and all-weather floor liners with ZR2 logos. The ZR2 Dusk Edition show vehicle is finished in Summit White and equipped with the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel, as well as a diesel-exclusive performance cold air intake.
