Get a Rhino bedliner and a Pace Edwards jackrabbit tonneau cover which is far superior than what GM offers if you want that. Bose speaker.. meh.

So if a 4x4 Z71 already costs 34K, how much more is a ZR2? What else do you need to sub? The front dif is different, bit beefier suspension, better shocks, and better skid plates.. (I do not like that a skid plate is missing for the transmission.) Some additional selectable 4x4 options, some minor ascetic differences, and relocation of the spare.(which I hope is optional)

What is that worth? I say 5K. And that's why I believe the ZR2 will start under 40K. Can you option it higher, absolutely.

And FYI.. The ZR2 option for the S10 was $1750 back in the day.


My 2 cents.
The cross members do a decent job of protecting the transmission in stock form... The transmisson sits much higher than the these, although without the skid plate there is always a chance:
