Z71 is an options package with skid plates and different shocks.
The Z66 is the 2 wheel drive highway trailering version vs the Z71 4 wheel drive off road version. (Basic but true)
have the truck on, put the truck on neutral, then switch from 4wd to 2wd
z71 are shift on the fly
Z71 is the "off-road" suspension package. It adds jounce bumpers, larger shocks, and skid plates.
99% of all Z71 trucks are factory 4-wheel drives.
im pretty sure z71 is an off-road package therefore makin it 4 wheel drive
z71 is the GM code for the upgraded offroad package. it included, among other things, bilstein shocks, skidplates, and some exterior trim. The Z71 also have locking rear diffs.. I believe they pretty much all have 3.73 rear axle ratios.
One answerer's view:No, the truck has to say z71 off road or z71 4x4 for it to actually be four wheel drive now the z71's that just say z71 on the side of the truck are not four wheel drive they have skid plates and other off road features but they are not for wheel drive!!!Another answerer's view:No, however vehicles produced with the Z71 package come standard with 4 wheel drive; two wheel drive as an option (rare). The Z71 package provides for higher ground clearance, skid plates & stiffer suspension for a better overall ride over rough terrain."Z71" is a GM "RPO" code which stands for "Regular Production Option" code. "Z71" is the RPO code for a special off-road package on select GM/Chevrolet trucks & SUVs. Features include four wheel drive and optional 2 Wheel Drive, all-terrain tires, an automatically locking rear differential, color-coded bumpers, a skid plate, special aluminum alloy wheels, and distinctive "Z71" badges applied as decals onto the rear quarter panel of vehicles with the Z71 package.These badges are not necessarily how one differentiates a 2WD from a 4WD as they can be custom ordered to include or exclude the words "off road" or "4x4" from the Z71 badge, either OEM or aftermarket.Clarification:The off-road package for the 2wd Chevy's are "Z66"
yes, al z71 packages do have 4 wheel drive. They are more suited for offroad driving then a regular 4x4.
ONLY if the 98 is a 4-wheel drive.
4x4
No. I have a 2004 Chevy Colorado LS Z71 that is not 4x4.
