Here are some interesting ZR2 Facts
Not all S-Series 4WD's are ZR2's, and not all ZR2's are 4WD's.
The ZR2 option was never offered with any of the Crew Cab, 4-Door Blazer, or GMC Jimmy (USA) models.
All ZR2 Pickups and Blazers were manufactured with a Vortec 4.3L 6 Cylinder engine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Vortec_engine).
The S10 ZR2, GMC Highrider, and many Blazer ZR2's feature Insta-Trac (three-button) 4WD. The Blazer ZR2 was also offered with the option of Auto-Trac (four-button) 4WD.
Being that the ZR2 featured a full size spare tire and the Blazer lacked considerable space both underneath and inside the cab; an exterior mount was created for the ZR2 Blazers. The mount was placed at the rear of the vehicle overlapping the tailgate and rear glass, this created a severe blindspot. To remedy the situation a small company manufactured a lowering kit that would relocate the mount a few inches down.
A ZR2 equipped S-Series vehicle is worth several thousand dollars more than a non-ZR2. Therefore ZR2 decals are commonly used on non-ZR2's in attempts to trick an un-informed buyer into spending more money. This practice is especially common among online marketplaces and independent Auto dealers. ZR2 verification can be done by checking the RPO tag affixed to the inside of the glove compartment.Information from Wikipedia
