TB is only $3k over the WT (assuming the WT has the Turbo Plus engine and 4WD) because it isnt upgrading the interior. What would you expect them to do? Make another trim priced between Z71 and ZR2? Elevate the TB so that it exceeds the Z71 price? Seems like either option drains ZR2 sales.

The Trailboss adds the lift, engine, transmission, 4x4, drive modes, wheels and tires over the work truck.
The Z71 adds all that minus the lift, with a better interior. The Z71 should have had that lift to begin with. The Z71 has always been the off-road oriented package. I doubt the suspension components are a significant part of the increased cost. If anything, the majority of it is the 4x4 components, which the Z71 already has. Adding the lift to the Z71 should realistically have minimal impact on the price. There is no way a 2” lift costs 3k from the factory. I lifted my Z71 3” for about $1500 and that’s paying aftermarket prices.
