1. November 6, 2017 Z71—Enhancing the Off-Road Capabilities of the Trucks for Sale You Want to Purchase Pickup truck is possibly the manliest vehicle on the market. It comes with a brawny structure that you will never find even in the most dashing of sedans. The beefy rear that boasts of sleek tailgates and a spacious bed gives you the idea that this vehicle can do more than just cruising. That same rear makes you think that the car is also a good off-roader, but is it really? Page | 1

2. Needless to say, most pickup trucks are designed with off-road capabilities. This is to be expected because one of their primary functions—towing heavy load—is especially helpful in farms, ranches, and other places where terrains are usually rugged. Not all pickups, however, exhibit the same power over rough landscapes. A few have an edge over the rest. One of the best examples is any Chevy pickup truck with the Z71 package. What is Z71? Z71 is a package, which includes features that make LTZ (top-of-the-line trim model for Chevy models) a whole lot better off-roaders. If you’ve been driving a 1500 Avalanche, a Silverado, a 1500 Suburban, or a Tahoe, you already know how well this package has improved the off-road capabilities of your truck. You’ve probably even put it to the test during your recent camping and hiking trip outside the city. Off-Road and Suspension: What’s New? Perhaps the most distinct feature in the Z71 package is the 18 or 20 inches aluminum wheels, which are fitted in with off-road blackwall tires. This is supported by rancho branch shocks, tuned springs and mono-tube shocks for the suspension. With these features holding the weight of the vehicle and its load, you can feel safer and more comfortable, especially when you’re traveling at great speeds on a craggy surface. Better Exterior The Z71 package also includes a major enhancement on the truck’s exterior. The wheels now have wheel flares that are integrated with the body so they don’t come off or move as separate pieces. The steel grille has been replaced with chrome grille as well for added lightweight, sheen, and corrosion resistance. A skid plate and front fascia have also been installed to protect the undercarriage and nose. All other additions are meant to push the body a little higher for the car to be able to take on larger obstacles. Other features you will get to enjoy if you take advantage of this package include recovery hooks for towing, high-capacity air cleaners, and Eaton heavy-duty automatic locking rear differential. If you want the Z71 on your pickup, you will have to pay a little more but with all of these highly functional features, the cost will certainly be worth it. The package, therefore, is a separate product that you can request from any Chevy dealership that offers it. Page | 2
