2026 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2
Entry 015 in the Garage. The biggggg red truck: a hilarious 6.2L V8 on Multimatic dampers, the most aggressive thing in its actual segment, and a unanimous little-man-test champion.

The Good
- Hilarious 6.2L V8 with a LUDICROUS cold start
- Most aggressive truck in its actual segment
- Buttons and knobs for damn near everything
- Multi-Flex tailgate earns its complexity
- Won the little man test far and away
The Bad
- No Super Cruise at $70K while a Bolt gets it at $35K
- Ford still shifts more decisively
- Spongy brake pedal, some motions need two hands
- An unshakeable whiff of fragility
