It's silly that the Z71 badge isn't part of the blackout package. 

Yeah, it is silly, but I get it. The z71 badge only comes on the truck if you get the z71 package, obviously. They would either have to send a black z71 badge with every blackout kit (lots of waste and potential for dealers to install it when the truck doesn’t have z71) or deal with the logistics headache of determining when a truck should get sent with a black z71 in the blackout kit and adjusting the price accordingly. Easier for them just to not deal with it.

Agreed. I purchased OEM versions and took it to the local body shop. They R&R'd them at no charge.

Yes, it's a dealer installed option, but it's on the main factory sticker (not the little dealer add-on one), so it's known which particular trucks will have the black-out package from the start, so they could have the black z71 fender emblem staged on the line where they get applied. Seems simple enough.

Picked this beauty up yesterday. Exterior-wise is still very similar to '21, but the interior is just WOW. 5.3 10spd (NO DFM) 

 

 

 

Nice... That looks real sharp, congratulations!
