The ZR2 is engineered for extreme off-road dominance with specialized hardware: Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, and a specialized off-road cut front bumper. Massive 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires deliver aggressive traction on the toughest terrain. Large underbody aluminum skid plates protect vital components. Inside, a 13.4-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch enhanced Driver Information Center keep you informed and in control. While Trail Boss trims are factory off-road ready, ZR2 is built for serious adventurers who demand peak performance on extreme terrain.
