2027 2500HD ZR2

[Barb the Yeti]

Im about to order my 2500 ZR2, and I heard from a supplier that there are going to be some improvements to the 2027 2500 ZR2 before the transition to the new body style in 2028 including:
Updated larger DSSV shocks
The new diesel 8.3L duramax
Some other improvements

I am planning on getting the 6.6L gas anyway, and will be immediately replacing the shocks, so neither of those matter to me. Anyone here heard of any rumors or have an opinion if I should wait for the 2027?

Just out of curiosity, why would you replace the shocks right away?

Its the only thing I havent been impressed with on the trucks I've test driven (other than the factory tires).

I am used to king shocks, and my buddies over at Dirt king have a 2500 kit that rides amazingly well, and their UCA gives a ton more droop travel.

Sounds good, i agree about the factory tires, at least on the 1500... Thanks, i was just curious.

You may as well buy a Trailboss or LTZ Plus or High Country and put a Cognito lift and Fox 2.5s or Elkas.......same money or less!

Nah, im getting the bison, I want the bumpers & skids, and rear locker. Planning to do real offloading. I wish they offered a bison without all the frilly stuff and leather, but oh well.

What was the question?

What was the question?

Should I wait for the 2027 model? And does anyone know what if any changes are happening?

Honestly, I don't think you will see any changes in the 2027 2500HD trucks. The changes will be found in the 1500. 2500HD changes typically follow a year later as a 2028.

That’s what’s I’ve read/heard. I think the big three are all getting giant diesels next year
