After putting my 2025 Chevy Colorado ZR2 through some of the toughest trails out in Sand Hollow, Utah, it’s time for a full damage report. From brutal rock crawling to high-speed desert runs, this trip pushed the truck to its limits… and yeah, things didn’t come out untouched. In this video, I break down everything that went wrong (and right), including: • Trail damage to the bed and body • Weak points in the Colorado platform • What held up surprisingly well • Real talk about Chevy’s design vs off-road abuse • What I’ll be fixing or upgrading next If you’re running a Colorado, Canyon, or thinking about building one—this is the real-world test you need to see. Sand Hollow is no joke… and this trip proved it. Let me know in the comments: Do you think this is a design flaw or just part of pushing trucks this hard? 🛠️ DV8 Offroad Products Use code DOWNTIMELOST at checkout for a discount on DV8 gear 👉 Bumpers, armor, racks & more 🏁 Peak Suspension Use code DOWNTIME to save on suspension upgrades 👉 Dial in your ride for the trail or daily driving Every purchase using these codes helps keep the builds going and more trail content coming 🤘 FOLLOW THE BUILD: 📸 Instagram: @Downtimelost 🎥 Subscribe for more Colorado ZR2 content, trail runs, and real-world testing KEYWORDS: 2025 Chevy Colorado ZR2, Sand Hollow Utah, Colorado ZR2 off road, Chevy Colorado damage, off road fail, rock crawling damage, overlanding gone wrong, Colorado ZR2 build, desert off road, truck bed damage, Chevy ZR2 problems, trail damage report, off road abuse test

About This Video

I’m posted up on the edge of the Grand Canyon on the way home from United by Bronco, cracking a beer, and finally doing the damage report on my 2025 Chevy Colorado ZR2 after three pretty risky Sand Hollow trails. We did a mix of brutal rock crawling and faster desert hits, and I’ll be honest—yeah, I smacked stuff. The front bumper took a bunch of hits (including a bad line that was 100% my fault), but it stayed straight. Same story with the sliders: I pivoted off both sides super hard and they’re still straight—just scratched like they’re supposed to be. Underneath, the OEM ZR2 front skid is dented, and my Victory 4x4 skid took a hit hard enough to smash a bolt and break a clip nut, so it’s hanging a bit. The transfer case skid is still the weak link—I’ve dented that thing like five times and I’m over it. Suspension-wise, the Peak DSC coilovers were insanely impressive in whoops, jumps, and rocks; one of the Deviate guys even said it rode better than a Bronco Raptor, which I’ll take all day. The biggest “Chevy problem” is the bed rails ripping again with my GFC-style setup—one-ply sheet metal bed rails is wild. I ratchet-strapped the camper mount down to keep it more dialed, and now I’m looking at a cleaner turnbuckle-style tie-down and hopefully a real bed-rail reinforcement solution.
