Why do so many people buy the "off road" package for a truck that will spend its whole life on paved roads? I see huge numbers of FX4's Z71's, etc. all over.

I have the standard suspension and it is actually quite capable of moderate off-road use with the low pressure gas coil-over dual-tube shocks. If I wanted to go more hard-core, the tires, not suspension, is what needs to be changed. Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor look like the current state-of-the-art in on-off road tires.

When I was shopping for a truck, I was able to test drive otherwise identical GMC Sierra's with and without the Z71 package. Like Toyota, the main difference is Bilstein single-tube shocks.
