Jay Hatfield Chevrolet – ZR2 Confidence for Neosho, MO Roads and Jobsites — Why the 2026 Silverado 2500 HD ZR2 Fits Your Day

If your weeks bounce between hauling equipment, navigating muddy access roads, and towing over long distances, the Silverado 2500 HD ZR2 hits the sweet spot between brute strength and smart off-road control. It starts with hardware that matters: a factory 1.5-inch suspension lift, Multimatic DSSV™ dampers calibrated for relentless terrain, a rear electronic locking differential for predictable traction, and 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory® MT tires with serious bite. Under the hood, choose the proven 6.6L V8 gas engine with a 10-speed automatic for steady power delivery, or opt for the available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 when your day calls for high torque at low rpm. The result is a heavy-duty truck that feels composed in chaos — where ruts, washboards, and steep grades are just part of the plan in and around Neosho, MO.

Inside, the ZR2’s command center integrates productivity with clarity. The 13.4-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen and 12.3-inch diagonal Driver Information Center keep navigation, trailering tools, and vehicle diagnostics within easy reach. Add the available Head-Up Display for key information projected on the windshield, and the Rear Camera Mirror for a wide, unobstructed view behind you. The available HD Surround Vision system and bed camera tie your situational awareness together, while the In-Vehicle Trailering App can store custom trailer profiles, run pre-departure checklists, and help monitor trailer maintenance. When a tight jobsite or campsite demands finesse, Front and Rear Park Assist lends confidence — and the available Multi-Flex Tailgate turns into a sturdy step, load stop, or work surface as needed.

• Chassis and suspension: Factory 1.5-inch lift, Multimatic DSSV™ dampers, rear electronic locking differential, aluminum front skid plate
• Off-road traction: 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory® MT tires and steel skid plates for added underbody protection
• Trailering tech: Transparent Trailer View, Hitch View, Bed View, and the In-Vehicle Trailering App for setup and monitoring
• Visibility tools: Available Head-Up Display, Rear Camera Mirror, and HD Surround Vision for a broader perspective
• Bed utility: Durabed with 12 standard tie-downs, available LED bed lighting, and the available Multi-Flex Tailgate’s six functions

Beyond the badge, the ZR2 is built to simplify your routine. Durabed’s high-strength roll-formed steel and 12 standard tie-downs make it easy to secure odd-shaped loads, while Integrated BedSteps and the CornerStep rear bumper improve access when you are managing a fifth-wheel or gooseneck setup. Inside the cab, supportive Jet Black/Graystone perforated leather seating with Strike Yellow accent stitching stands up to long days and cleans up well for nights out. Add Google built-in, plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and your apps, maps, and messages are at your fingertips.

When the road turns slick or visibility drops, the ZR2’s standard Chevy Safety Assist features provide valuable support. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, and a Following Distance Indicator work in the background to help you keep gaps manageable and slow more decisively if traffic stalls. For busy weekends with a trailer in tow, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert is available to help watch your flanks, while the Safety Alert Seat can provide directional seat-bottom pulses to warn of detected hazards. It all adds up to confidence when you are threading a jobsite or backing down a launch ramp.
