My Toys

[Rob]

Bought the 1990 Corvette ZR-1 in September of 1994 with 129 miles on the odometer.

The 2025 Colorado ZR2 Bison, I ordered at the beginning of the year.

The Bison package on that looks pretty cool. Considering the price of getting all what you get in that package, that option seems worth the money right out of the box.

GM Employee pricing was a big help as well.

@Rob

That's good to see that you're a loyal GM guy. Those are some great vehicles in your pictures posted. I have a few toys as well but I may likely have to liquidate and consolidate here shortly - for the better, I guess.

Nice Colorado Turbomax I4, with a sunroof @Rob !

I've been told that affects resale value vs the slick tops!

How do you like it?

Have an 03 Sportrac I've put 300K on her and I've never rebuilt the engine, just replaced the chain tensioners (has 2 opposing timing chains in the 4.0) which are plastic dispensables, starts right up and cold AC even today! That truck has never left me stranded, amazing.

She is ready for retirement...still runs great and doesn't burn oil!

Hard to give her up, but it's time!

Shopping the Rangers and right now I'm actual shopping a 2024 Trail Boss as we speak.....want the towing power in a mid size truck for daily stuff and I'm thinking of a change this time around.

Have a 1996, 2nd Gen Ram 1500 project Im finishing up with my sons.

5.9 Magnum with a few goodies in there and a 5 speed man tran, 391 posi rear I factory ordered back in Sept of 95 with 96k original miles...not collectible for sure, just sentimental and fun!

That will haul the heavier stuff for me!

Drove the shit out of that truck for years in Florida stop and go's!!!! Part of the reason I went with an A10 in my 5BW.

Congrats, the toy box looks pretty cool from here!

Thank you. So far, I love the Bison. I've only got 586 miles on it right now and haven't had a chance to get it off road yet due to work. The Corvette is my weekend cruiser if the weather is good and I have the time. The Bison is set up for camping, overlanding, and get-out-of-Dodge if I have to.

Zr1 has such a fantastic engine. I was just talking about these with a friend of mine.
You can find some in great shape for 20-25k on BaT.

Yeah, they really are unique and fun to drive.

Here is my other toy. 05 Sierra, boosted 6.3 with all the goodies.

Here are a couple:

I had a 2018 Colorado ZR2. I called it my "Pavement Princess". Never went off-road except into my driveway. I had it for 3.5 years with only 19,000 miles. I paid $43k out the door for it. Sold it to AutoLenders for $40,000 at end of Covid. Used the money to buy my 5BW. Found it online for sale asking $43k.

Bumping an old thread.

My newest toy is a 2026 F-150 Platinum with all the bells and whisles. Ordered in April, took delivery in June. Optioned with a 3.5 liter twin turbo powerboost full hybrid engine (430 hp/570 lb ft torque), blackout package, 22" wheels, twin panel moonroof, pro access tailgate and Blue Cruise hands free driving.

I've been saying, I want a red vehicle before I die. At 75 years old, time was running out.

Now that's a lot of red.

Great color!

I hear you can great deals on Lightning EV 150's and EV Chargers ! LOL ! Yeah, it was a failed experiment for some of these manufacturers !
Those dinosaurs died so we could have petroleum for our ICE vehicles.

If anyone here happens to own a Colorado ZR2 Bison, Silverado ZR2 Bison, GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition or GMC SierraAT4X AEV Edition, I've now added a new set of forums for those vehicles!

AEV Bison Forums

An online community for owner and enthusiasts of the Chevrolet Colorado, Silverado and GMC Canyon and Sierra AEV Bison editions

www.aevbison.com

I'm still in the process of building out the forums, but they're up and running if anyone would like to join!

Nice. Now you do it ! I sold my 2018 ZR2 Colorado in order to buy my CT5-V Blackwing. I bought it in 2018 for 43k (out the door) and sold it to Auto Lenders 3.5 years later , with 19k miles for 40k ! During COVID they were paying ridiculous prices for used trucks. Best deal ever. It paid for almost half of my Blackwing. Now I am going to sell my Jeep Grand Cherokee and either get a new ZR2 or a Telluride hybrid. So far, the hybrid is my choice.
