Z71 vs Z71 offroad

Maybe it's a dumb question, but does anyone know what the difference is between a Silverado with a Z71 decal on the box and a Silverado with a Z71 OFFROAD decal? Any difference in suspension or other equip.? Just curious.

The only difference is the decal, and possibly model year? You can buy Z71 decals and stick them on a Corolla, if you want!

There is NO difference. they started using those decals in either 00, or 01. My 99 just has Z71 on it.

OK here's another question:

Whats the difference between Z71 and 4x4 tags? I understand it has something to do with the suspension but what specifically?

The Z71 has a better pair of shocks, skid plates, locker, foglamps, fender flares, and all of the LS trim. Personally I think you're better off getting a plain 4x4.. you can get all that stuff on it for less $$ without the fancy trim crap! I have a 4x4 w/ skid plates, locker, fender flares, and I sure didn't pay 30k for any Z71..

Locker???? As in rear differential? Is this a part of the Z71 package?

Yeppers, it sure is. Its a GM Gov-Lok. It's really a limited-slip unit, but works pretty good under most conditions. I have had a few times that it locked when I was accelerating hard and wouldnt unlock when I turned.
