I guess the AT4X is like the RR in that respect, but seems strange for GM to have these two tiers that can ultimately be set up the same. Confusing.
Well, GM has been hammered on for years given all the badge engineering across brands. They are trying to differentiate the models that are still mechanically the same trucks. GMC is moving upscale in packaging, features, and of course price. Personally, I like having two options if i'm set on buying a GM midsize truck.

ZR2 will suffer a little since it's down on power compared to the others, but not sure if that matters much unless you are desert running these bad boys.

There's also the ZR2 Bison to consider, which is just a little more expensive than the RR. I'm assuming the TRD Pro will be priced right around that 60K mark also.
I agree the ZR2 seems to be the budget/value pick believe it or not. Get the core of what makes these trucks great off roaders and perhaps option up at purchase a pkg or two or buy accessories later as money permits. If you want it all at point of sale, there's a ZR2 Bison or an AT4X AEV edition.
