75.5 " for a non Trailboss. I have a 2020 SLT X31 and have plenty of clearance on a standard 7' garage door.

This is a parking garage in town and the clearance is 6'-8".  I can find the number for a standard but not for a Z71 which in my understanding adds a few inches. Is your 75.5 number for a 2021 Z71? The chevy site says 75.4 for a standard Silverado.

The garages downtown Seattle always scare the crap out of me when I go into them, your antenna is the first thing you hear scraping.

 

I only go into them if it is absolutely necessary, these trucks are pretty big, and things get tight quickly.

I believe the Z71/X31 are the same height as the standard 4x4's Its only an upgrade of shocks, skid plates , air cleaner  and the 2 speed gearbox. No lift involved.

My Z71 has the 20 in wheels with the 33" (32.5) tires. This probably adds an inch over standard.

The z71 does not have a 2 inch lift. That would be a Trailboss.

I found the 2 inch lift thing on a chevy website.   But the number came direct from my dealer.

An LTZ Z71 has the same diameter tires and the same ride height as any other LTZ. The Trail Boss is the only Chevy that has a 2 inch lift from the factory.


FWIW, the tires on a Trail Boss are actually shorter than what’s fitted on the LTZ with 20” wheels.

Well my 2020 Sierra SLT, X31 20" wheels. Looking at the overall height at the Shark Fin which looks to be the tallest point on the truck.

My garage door opening is 84" tall measuring down from the opening to the top of the Shark Fin is 8.5"    84" minus 8.5 " = 75.5"

 

Sometimes the dealers aren't always right.

No way the Z71 has a lift, I have that too and it's exactly the same as the regular 4x4s.

GM's Order guide shows Z71 is NOT available as an option on either Trailboss.

 

As others posted, the trailboss trucks are the  only ones with the factory lift. 

 

All LTZ are crew cab

 

GM says - for 4wd crewcab: 

short box  75.4"

short box lifted 78.23"

So the number the dealer gave me was the short box lifted number.  So on the LTZ with Z71 is it the short box or shortbox lifted?

As has been said multiple times, unless you added it only the trailbosses have the lift.  A normal Z71 LTZ has no lift.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
