Colorado ZR 2 a payload of 1100lb and Gas engine 5000lbs towing.. GM gives 5000lb maximum for the 2.8 Diesel
X Class will be a heavy beast with a 2460lb payload.
I am trying to explain to you that payloads here are limited by a vehicles class in many cases and not by a trucks ability. Payload equals GVWR minus curb weight, and class 1 trucks have a max GVWR of 6,000 lbs. So subtract the weight of your pick up trucks over there from 6,000 lbs and you will have there payload here regardless of what it is anywhere else. So that Wildtrack would be the class regulation of 6,000 lbs GVWR minus the curb weight of 4,960 lb which gives it a payload of 1,040 lbs here.
Also, as I stated, the ZR2 is a purpose built off road pick up truck, not a heavy hauler. We have other trucks for that. When it comes to off road, trucks like the ZR2 and Raptor are considerably more capable than many trucks here and over there.
