Well Robert you need to bring yourself up to speed on the new Chevy Colorado ZR2 before you dismiss it.

Chevy Colorado ZR2

They don't have the new ZR2 over there and their Holden Colorado is slightly different than ours. Which is sad since the ZR2, with its magnetic adjustable longer travel suspension and front/rear lockers, seems like it would outperform many of their current truck offerings off road.

I think it would.

My son used to have a 2008 Colorado Z71. It had the off road package, skid plates, large wheels/tires, heavy duty suspension, electronic traction control and G80 Eaton Locking axle. Lot of ground clearance. He didn't have 4 WD on it but I was always surprised how well it did in snow. The large tires, traction aids and high ground clearance made a difference, although in his vehicle, 4WD would of made a bigger difference, if he had had it.

The new Colorado ZR2...which is available in the North American market as you say, seems to be getting lots of accolades from off road buffs...very advanced truck.

Needs to be heavier and carry a lot more Off Road.New Mercedes is rated at 1100kg =2420lb Ford Ranger Wildtrack 4,960lb about the same kerb weight as the 2.7 F150
