Question about Tahoe/Suburban trim levels...

[BlueAc]

I've been truck shopping for the last few weeks and besides a used Denali I haven't seen anything that caught my eye. Well yesterday,I stumbled upon and 07 Suburban Z71 w/ 21K miles. The truck was BEAUTIFUL, fully loaded black on black with nav, back up cam, 2nd row captains chair and what really got me was the two tone interior. Now my question on the trim level hierarchy, where does the Z71 stand? Is that above or below the LTZ? If the truck was new which would cost more? I'm trying to negotiate a fair deal on the truck, but the dealer is really not budging. He's at 32K out the door and I want to be below that.

AFAIK, Z71 is the 4x4 off road suspension package.

A Suburban w/Z71 package has to be either an LT2 or LT3. You can't get the Z71 package on an LTZ. All things being equal...the LTZ is considered "top of the line", however...you can option out an LT3 w/Z71 pretty darn close to everything you'd be getting on an LTZ with the benefit of having something more "off road" oriented if that's what you are looking for.

A pretty good way of telling if your Z71 is an LT2 or LT3 is if it has the heated, memory, and power lumbar support. It it has that it is probably an LT3, if not an LT2.

But you can get a 2WD Z71 like mine :lol:

This truck was fully loaded as far as I could tell, I didn't see one option that it didn't have. It was actually owned by an NBA player from my area that turned it in off lease, so I'm guessing he maxed out on options. What's funny is the dealer is trying to sell me on that fact... I'm going back in tomorrow, I'm aiming for 30K out the door.

Is'nt that suspension still called the z66 on 2wd models?
