Z71 is the name given to the option coe of a special off road suspension package offered by General Motors. This option first appeared on the 1988 to 1998 generation Chevy/GMC trucks. In 2000, Z71 became an option package on Chevrolet Tahoes. Exterior features included 4 Wheel drive and optional 2 Wheel Drive, on/off road tires, a limited slip differential, color-coded bumpers, fog lamps, a grill guard, tail lamp guards, tubular side steps, a skid plate, special 5 spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and distinctive "Z71" badges. The inside received distinctive two-tone leather appointments. "Z71" Tahoes could be ordered in 5 colors: Sport Red, Bermuda Blue, Silver Birch, Black, or Summit White. With the success of "Z71" as a separate model rather than just a suspension package, Chevrolet Tahoes and soon after Suburbans continued this option and it is still available on current Tahoes, Avalanches, and Suburbans.
