    Hi All:

    On Wednesday, Chevrolet unveiled a Silverado EV ZR2 off-road race truck concept setup to compete at the legendary Mint 400 off-road race. The Silverado EV ZR2 race truck concept joins the team’s Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 race trucks, and Chad Hall will drive the all-electric off-road race truck in the Open Production EV class.

    The Silverado EV ZR2 includes the following modifications:
    • Lifted, front and rear suspension with specific off-road tuning that continues to deliver on the pavement
    • Multimatic damper technology
    • Locking differentials
    • Underbody skid protection
    The 98% stock, high-performance, off-road Silverado EV ZR2 race truck came to life after only five months of development. The cornerstone of the race truck’s off-road capability is a prototype Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve, continuously adaptive dampers. These dampers provide off-road performance for the more than 13” of front and rear wheel travel.

    Combined with the Silverado EV ZR2 race truck’s 37-inch BF Goodrich KM3 Mud-Terrain tires, and a tri-motor electric propulsion system that creates 1,100 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque.

    Chevrolet engineers will embed themselves with the Chad Hall Racing team to analyze the race truck’s performance, durability and capability. Each learning will be applied to production vehicles, performance parts and accessories from Chevrolet. Today, more than 44 off-road performance parts and accessories are available for customers to buy for production trucks.

    The Silverado ZR2 race truck concept’s reveal comes as Chevy prepares to launch this summer the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss, its first off-road oriented EV variant. Trail Boss is a more off-road capable Silverado EV with a factory-installed lift, 18” wheels, 35” all-terrain tires, and red tow hooks. New Terrain Mode gives the truck increased maneuverability in tight spaces.
