Just purchased a 2026 ZR2 and pick it up next Tuesday on my Birthday!!!
I'm pumped........traded in my Silverado (excellent trade given IMHO) as I no longer need a full size truck and looking forward to a little smaller and more aggressive looking truck.
btw - Anyone know the size of the exhaust? I want to get some accessories ordered and exhaust tip is on my list.

This baby is mine.....(y)

Is it a V6? I read where they were going to do that.

No, there is no V6 for the 3rd gen.

Nice. My 2025 is same color. Got a factory order so I could add a few of the options (underbody cameras, block heater).

Welcome, and congrats! You'll love it, I love mine!

Tips:
1. Push all the fuses in fully, under the hood and in the passenger footwell.
2. Make sure to turn off both the automatic OTA (Over The Air) update settings or it WILL brick your truck with a dead battery constantly searching for updates. Note: Be sure to check those settings every time you get back from the dealer (they turned mine on without me knowing....aaannnd it bricked my truck), and just check them every so often and after EVERY update.
3. Buy a good trickle charger SPECIFICALLY designed to charge these AGM batteries and use it if your truck sits for a couple days like mine does every week.
4. Buy a good jump starter for AGM's and keep it in the truck.

Best of luck!

Honestly if I had to do all that I would sell the truck. I have done none of those things on my 24 ZR2 and it sits for weeks at a time without being started and the battery has never once failed nor has the truck even acted like a low battery when starting.

I also have done none of this and have had no issues, Honestly if a prospective buyer saw this list they would pick a different truck I imagine.
Your truck looks great !

The tall pipe is 3 inch outside diameter. I got a dual outlet tip from summit racing 3 inch inlet 24 inch outlets.

I put this system on my 24' ZR2 about a month ago and love the way it made it sound.

I put a Corsa cat-back system on my Silverado and loved it.......
That said, my wife hated it, so there will not be a similar system on my ZR2. :oops:

I did "all that" and would never consider selling it. My Sears battery charger was ancient, and I needed a new one anyways, and now I have everything I need for both cars that I have with the AGM batteries. I just figure to keep it on the trickle, and make sure the OTA settings are off, and it should be no issue.

I hope your luck continues!

Already carry a NOCO jump starter, both on my motorcycle and truck.......with the price of them it's silly not to.
I did check the fuses today......the hood compartment had a whole mess of fuses that seated when I pushed them in.
The passenger fuses seemed ok.

Appreciate the tips....
