Hello. I’m trying to figure out if my 2004 Z-71 is a LS or LT trim.
The truck is a crew cab swb, front bucket seats in cloth, Bose stereo CD/cassette, controls on the steering wheel, power mirrors, power driver seat, five spoke aluminum 17” wheels, 3.73 w/ G80. etc. it pretty much has everything.
I have the window sticker but it only says Z-71. No mention if it’s LS or LT trim.
I’ve done a VIN search but there was no joy there.
No sir, it has cloth buckets up front with bench in the rear.
I bought it new off the lot in September of 2004 with 320 miles on it. Most of that was bringing it from the Louisiana dealer that ordered it to my dealer in Mississippi.
It's weird that it doesn't have the decal on the rear pillars, no? I thought they all had them? Sometimes they fall off or people remove them, but you are the original owner...🤔🤷
Right or wrong, to me a true LT has leather along with heated front buckets with 2 position memory function and these controls are on the front door cards. I'm sure there is some other stuff but that's the big one for me.
You say you bought it new so, we can rule out someone along the way removing or adding these features.
One other thing, there should be list of PRO codes on a sticker in the glove box, you could possibly confirm the trim from those.
My 99 Silverado is an LS trim but it had leather (non-heated) seats, which I didn't realize was not standard on that trim.
I thought the trim was like an umbrella designation for options, but the actual options could vary depending on how the vehicle got built or ordered. IDK.
OP, are you thinking your truck was a trim by itself from that link you posted? That would explain why it didn't come with the cab decals, right?
This info was pulled from an old thread on gmfullsize:
LS and LT are just different trim packages.
engines are the same.

I don’t know honestly. I haven’t found anything online that shows a Z-71 is either LS or LT trim.
This is from the link I posted above and for Z-71 crew cab it doesn’t list LS or LT.
