All three are adventure-ready, but they serve different lifestyles:

**Trail Boss** emphasizes rugged utility with a 2-inch factory-installed lift, 2-speed automatic transfer case, and 32-inch all-terrain tires. Four selectable drive modes and an off-road performance display tackle mud, snow, sand, and rocks.

**Z71** blends style with versatility. It features the same four drive modes and 32-inch all-terrain tires, plus eye-catching design with LED headlamps, taillamps, and fog lamps. The Jet Black interior with Adrenaline Red accents creates a sporty vibe.

**ZR2** is the ultimate performer. It has a 3-inch lift, advanced Multimatic DSSV dampers, five drive modes (including Baja mode), and 33-inch mud-terrain tires for maximum grip and control.

Choose Trail Boss for solid off-road capability, Z71 for style and versatility, or ZR2 for extreme performance. Call (715) 833-0444 to discuss which suits your adventures best.
