Z71 2wd And Standard 2wd Differences?

[Mirage775]

I'm just curious what the differences are between a standard 2wd and a Z71 2wd?

It's an appearance package really.

"Z71" is not an appearance package, it's a suspension package. A Z71 and a Z71 with appearance package are different.

 

OP, The 2wd Z71 it has the Z71 suspension and box decals. A standard 2wd has the standard suspension.

Really... If you believe that, more power to ya. Joice bumpers, skid plates and upgraded shocks don't make it any more capable. And it's Either an appearance package or a suspension package. It can be both.

 

Again.. Right off the Chevrolet Website

 

Whether youre maneuvering around a construction site or heading for some mud-slinging, off-road recreation, the legendary Z71® Off-Road Package lets your Silverado® take it in stride. It includes 46mm high-pressure gas-charged shocks, a 36mm front stabilizer bar and off-road jounce bumpers to absorb large suspension inputs. When youre really into the deep stuff, the included Skid Plate Package is there to protect the truck undercarriage from rocks and debris. This package also includes an off-road air cleaner. front recovery hooks and Z71 decals on the rear quarter panels let everyone know your pickup is up to the challenge.

 

But... Your right, I always first think of the appearance package first. Because most cases I think thats what others think of too anymore.

there is more then one standard suspension...i believe z85 is the more common none z71 suspension but i think there is what 2 others?

 

z71 as a whole is more appearance based now, what the suspension brings to the table dosen't really make it any better offroad then a normal 4x4
