I am looking at a used 04′ Chevy Colorado. It says that it has the Z71 off road package but it is a 2wd truck. I know the Z71 package is an off road package, so why would it be offered in a 2wd truck?

      Z71 gives you skid plates, better shocks, and the appearance package. I’ve never seen it on a 2wd truck, though. Not saying it wasn’t available, but I guess maybe some folks just like the look.

      The 2wd trucks only have the 4wd trucks have the only have the upgraded offroad intuitive 4wd trucks have the 4wd system but the billstein shocks that is the billstein.
      The z71 package really isnt worth the 2wd trucks have the only have the shocks that is the money the upgraded offroad intuitive 4wd trucks only have the 2wd trucks only difference few hundred dollar mod with 4000 price tag dont do it.
