To improve approach angles during off-road driving, the Z71 SUVs feature a taller front fascia for better clearance. Front air dams or valances are frequently installed by manufacturers to increase aerodynamics and fuel economy. But what’s good for fuel economy can be a hinderance to off-road driving, as this plastic valance hangs down several inches from the front bumper and can be subject to damage.
Besides a factory valance delete, the front ends of the big Z71 SUVs also receive a beefy metal skid plate to protect chassis components in the event of striking an object, as well as bright red tow hooks for recovery.
And what would an aspiring off-roader be without a special wheel and tire package? In this case, it’s machined aluminum 20-inch wheels paired with 33-inch tall Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner AT tires.
In the appearance department, gloss black trim components such as the grill replace their chrome counterparts, which are found on other trim levels and of course, multiple Z71 badges abound. Black side steps, black roof rails for mounting accessories, a heavy duty engine air filter, and hill descent control round out the hardware aspect of the Z71 package.
