The Skinny On The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison And GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition
The public was introduced to the next generation of General Motor’s Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and GMC Canyon AT4X, and though there is a slew of upcoming midsize trucks in our bracket, inquiring minds still wonder about the next step that will take these off-roading beasts even further. The car blog site Muscle Cars and Trucks claims that a GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition may be coming, while a next-gen Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison is in the works.

More than likely, the GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition will flaunt the same off-road bumper as the Edition 1 model while bringing on an infused winch and the conspicuous implementation of an American Expedition Vehicles-branded engine snorkel. Presently, this item can be obtained on the venturesome Chevy Colorado, and it seems as though GM is open to offering the snorkel straight from the factory this time coming. To be specific, the configuration will contrast with the previous Colorado truck, as the last-gen snorkel was mounted on the passenger side of the vehicle. The new snorkel appears that it will get its footing on the driver’s side. Bearing that the new Chevy Canyon and Colorado make use of a different engine than before, this is likely the reason.
Another instance of car brands offering factory-fixed snorkels is those that may be found on the scarce Ford Bronco Everglades, which Chevrolet determines to be one of the rivals to the new Colorado ZR2. It’s expected this new feature will make its way to both the new Colorado ZR2, together with the GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition. There’s also a good possibility that both Chevrolet and GMC will have the available snorkel in their distinct accessory catalogs.
Here’s where it gets wild. At long last, GM is giving its midsize off-roader their own set of tires that are properly proportionate. While next year’s Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 will receive a set of 33-inch Yeezys, as well as the ever-first GMC Canyon AT4X, the upcoming Colorado ZR2 Bison and Canyon AT4X AEV Edition will encompass 35-inch tires, paralleling what one may have seen on the Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon and Ford Bronco Sasquatch. This will certainly will prove to be a source of excitement for off-roading fans, coupled with the potential of true Beadlock wheels.
It appears that GM is taking even bigger steps as it takes full advantage of its collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles with the next-gen Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In doing this, the two car manufacturers are rethinking a vehicle segment where their partnership originally began. Only this time, it seems that it’s pushing the supposed limits of OEM (original equipment manufacturer) off-road competence that hasn’t been seen in the midsize truck market.
