That's the 2 wheel drive version that GM was pushing to the soccer moms and anyone else they could get to buy it. Part of the huge push to get people to use trucks the way they would use a car. The Ford Bronco II started the trend, IIRC. Ford got into a lot of trouble with the first version because it was very prone to rollovers. That used to be acceptable when this type of vehicle was only driven by offroaders, etc., who knew the limitations and generally did not drive them like a bat outta hell on the freeway.
