vegas1500 said:Guys, here in Canada it is available and will be in the future according to the dealer. I just ordered my 2007 LTZ Greystone Metallic. After a lot of debate, i chose the 5.3 litre. One thing we did not have available was a Z71 model. That is until I drove by the dealer today and seen 2 on the lot. I am a little choked because I wanted a Z71 and every dealer told me they were not available in Canada. They are not even listed on the GM Canada website, so not sure what is going on there. Anyway, cant wait for my truck and the fun will begin.....![]()
vegas1500 said:Beach, you are correct. I had never seen that before because i was always building the LTZ. It is really odd the dealer never knew about it and even more odd that i have never seen one on the road up here. There are tons of LTZ's on the road, but no Z71's. Thanks for the lesson!!!!!![]()
lmychajluk said:Does anyone know if the Z71 was offered in previous model years with engine options, or was it always just a single engine available w/ the Z71? I would love to get a 6.0L Z71 if they made that combo available in the '08s, but if they don't I have my eye on a 5.3L Z71 '07 and may just take advantage of the current incentives.
If my information is correct, the physical size of the transmissions are the same. It is only some internal parts that are different to make the 6.0 transmission "heavy duty".ShueyF105 said:I?ve seen a post somewhere on this site that gave, what sounds like a plausible reason for no 6.0L option on the Z71. This is not an exact quote?
?The hydra-matic super duty transmission attached to the 6.0L hangs down too low (due to its size), to allow for a skid plate.?
Perhaps someone from GM can verify the statement?
