Dude, we're talking about the TAHOE in which the Z71 is an entirely separate model from the LS and LT, not just an optional package ... whereas on the Silverado, Z71 is simply an optional package. http://www.chevrolet.com/tahoe/ Kiel Uyttenhove wrote: Well being I own a Z71, I know that Z71 is not a trim level, its an off road package (off road suspension), it has nothing to do with the trim level. "Markeau" <please_reply (AT) news (DOT) group> wrote in message news:KrKdnfUHlvw3sv7cRVn-jQ (AT) giganews (DOT) com... In fact, Edmunds (and the Chevy website  is correct for the Tahoewhich (for nbs) is available in 3 models: LS, LT, Z71 ... Z71 being a distinct, separate model and not an add-on option ... However, there are some LT options that you can't get on the Z71 (like AutoRide) Kiel Uyttenhove wrote: Don't listen to Edmunds, they have leather listed as an option on my 97 S-10 and premium sound system, which neither of it did that vehicle have as an option. The LS and LT are the trim levels, Z71 is the off road package. I have a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado which is a LT trim level and its has the Z71 off road package. LT comes with all the goodies such as leather and other toys, the LS is mostly cloth seats and some goodies. Z71 is basically stiffer and more ridged shocks and a beefier springs. I have seen LS trucks with the Z71 package, but thats only on trucks, I never have seen an LS Tahoe with the Z71 Off Road Package.

Well, it's listed on Chevy's website and other auto-related websites (like Edmunds.com and MSN Cars) as its own Trim, going from LS, to LT, to Z71. |

I'm ready to drop my Ford Explorer like a bad habit and get myself a Chevy Tahoe. I've been wanting a Z71, but then that brings me to this question. I want the smoothest ride, and I'm confused at a few details of the LT and Z71 suspension. The LT says it has an "autoride" feature which minimizes the vibration of the road of highway and city streets. The Z71 doesn't mention this feature. Does that mean the Z71 would have a rougher ride? or is it, because the Z71 has the off-road suspension, it would be smoother than the LT's autoride? Thanks for any info! Tim |

By the way, isnt the Z71 in addition to, or in place of the LS and LT trime levels? "Tim" <timakal (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:QCL6d.19682$Ok.9094 (AT) okepread04 (DOT) ..
