Identification:
The Z71 package can be identified by the fog lamps on the front below the headlights and also by a sticker on the bed, which has the Z71 logo and is usually in red.
Considerations:
The Chevy 1500 gets high ratings for crash tests and gas mileage, but when adding the Z71 package with four-wheel drive, you will sacrifice some fuel economy. If you like to go off-roading and mudding then the Z71 package is a good value.
