Z51 question
May pull the trigger on a Z51 1LT this week but I'm confused about one thing. My Chevy dealer product rep. (the salesman) insists that the Z51
option itself provides for PTM. (performance traction management). I thought that to get PTM, you need to get MRC. (magnetic ride control).
Who's right? Can I live without PTM? The car I'm looking at has Z51 but no MRC.
Thanx.

Only you (driving habits and intended use) can really decide if you need FE3 and FE4 suspensions.

Z51 (FE3) alone does not have PTM. PTM is included as a feature of the MSRC option($1795). The Z51 option ($2800) is required in order to opt in for the (FE4) MSRC w/ PTM option.
