Multimatic is the Canadian company that builds the GT on behalf of Ford, but these guys are also responsible for DSSV dampers. Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve technology can be experienced in road-going cars such as the Aston Martin One-77 and Vulcan, Mercedes-AMG GT, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, Camaro Z/28. as well as the Colorado ZR2.
For the 2022 model year, the list will welcome the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZRX according to breadcrumbs of information reported by Muscle Cars & Trucks. The American publication didn’t forget to mention that GM trademarked ZRX during the 2019 Woodward Dream Cruise, a nameplate which has been used a long time ago by GMC.

MC&T has learned that Chevrolet aims to take the fight to both the full-size Ford F-150 Raptor and the Ram 1500 Rebel,” but on the downside, the off-road suspension won’t be complemented by more suck-squeeze-bang-blow from the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management. Electronic locking differentials for the front and rear axles are also expected along with different bumpers.

The question is, why is Chevy rumored to call this thing ZRX instead of leveraging the ZR2 from the Colorado? We can’t explain, and knowing the marketing at General Motors, it isn’t worth finding an answer to this curiosity. “Rollout is scheduled for the 2022 model year,” according to Muscle Cars & Trucks, and hearsay suggests the Silverado 1500 ZRX will actually be a street performance sports truck.

Wait, what? As you can tell, nobody expects General Motors knows for sure what the future has lined up for the Silverado 1500. The mid-cycle refresh has to bring a lot of newities to the table in order to fend off the fourteenth generation of the F-150, but a supercharged V8 or twin-turbo V8 such as the Blackwing from Cadillac are unlikely.

Even Ram is putting the Hellcat V8 to good use in the Rebel TRX, which is supposed to be joined by a naturally aspirated V8 in the Rebel TR. The so-called Banshee is understood to feature a displacement of 7.0 liters, 520 horsepower, and 525 pound-feet of torque.
