Ya mine's pretty basic. As far as I can figure the only extra option mine came with is leather seats. Maybe these "4x4 only" trucks are the rarest of the Avs?03whitediamond said:The 4x4 versions mechnically are basically the same as the Z71 versions. The base 4x4 versions are missing the front skid plates, have cloth interiors and haven't any streering wheel control buttons.

The best feature on yours is black paint! Nice looking truck btw. I have all the options you mentioned as well except I have a luggage rack but no steering wheel controls. I also have no running boards, no frame mounted trailer hitch and no mini antennas on the roof. It's weird how these trucks are optioned so differently.ck22 said:This is incorrect.
I have the 4x4 model and it is anything but basic. It is fully loaded wtih leather power heated seats, dual digital climate controls, Bose System, Steering wheel controls. It has everything except a sunroof and luggage rack.
The Z66 is 2wd and they can still have all the other options too.

So, it sounds like you could get a loaded Z-71 or a loaded 4x4. Not that it matters but I still think there are less Avs with 4x4 stickers... It looks like a Z-71 offroad is a tad better equipped than a 4x4 (skid plates, G80 locking rear, Bilstien shocks, 17" wheels, heavy duty rubber floor mats) if that matters to the buyer. I didn't really care when I bought mine - it just happened to be available as a 4x4. I'm still learning about the differences in these trucks. Thanks for the good info.Flint4x4 said:A 2002-2006 Avalanche had different options available each model year.
Simply put 4x4 was an option as was a Z-71 offroad option package that included 4x4
The Z71 package was 4x4, skid plates, G80 locking rear, Bilstien shocks, 17" wheels, heavy duty rubber floor mats,.. maybe I missed sometihng. You could pretty much order all that stuff with a 4x4 too, cost more than the package. Everything else like sunroof, sidesteps, steering wheel controls, roofrack have nothing to do with whether it's a Z71 or 4x4
