When it rains, it pours. All three off-road mid-size truck superstars are new at the same time, and the TRD Pro finally grows into the contender it always needed to be.
All three trucks are similar in that they have wide-track suspensions consisting of control arms and coil springs up front and a solid axle out back. You'll find 33-inch tires on all of them, with the Ford and Chevy rolling on 17-inch wheels and LT tires, while the Toyota runs on 18-inch rubber that stubbornly lacks the LT designation.The Chevrolet rides on clever and durable Multimatic DSSV shuttle-valve dampers, the nature of which results in remote reservoirs all around.
The ZR2 offers 10.7 inches of ground clearance, and clearance angles of 38.3 degrees on approach, 25.1 degrees at departure, and 24.6 degrees when breaking over the brow of a hill. There are three off-road drive modes: Off-Road, Terrain, and Baja. Terrain is meant for low-speed work and enables a slick one-pedal off-road crawl feature, while Baja uncorks the exhaust and eases up on the traction and stability control intervention.
The TRD Pro offers 11.0 inches of maximum ground clearance, best of the bunch by a thin margin. Its approach and departure angles are second-best at 33.8 and 25.7 degrees, respectively, while its breakover angle trails slightly at 23.5 degrees. We can't yet name each of its Terrain Management modes, but we can say they exist.
