...and yet, we have the smallest motors SS 2.0T

 

Another wrong answer. Chrome was also an option for the 1LT

 

That is the quickest and easiest way to tell, the wheel size. Just about everything else the 2LT has, is an option for the 1LT.

 

Why always a measuring contest

 

ok cool. looks like i have a 2LT. see for yourself.

next question. wth is the little vent lookin thing on the roof. last picture in this album.

actually, im not sure what i got. i have the chrome package, but according to the chevy site, the 2lt comes with fog lights, i dont have those. i have nicer rims though.

according to the specs on chevrolet.com, i have some 2lt features but not all. maybe its an upgrade 1lt.

 

When all is said and done, it doesnt really matter much as 2LT is just a GM designation for an option group. And that "vent thing" is the microphone for the OnStar system.
And did you check for the FE3 suspension code? It looks like that would give you gas struts/shocks.

 

no. what and where is that?

 

It should be in a list of a bunch of codes inside the glovebox door. You would have either FE1 (base) or FE3 (2LT). Or you can look up your VIN on the site I posted.
And it looks to me like you have the 16 inch chrome wheels which come on the 1LT, I think the 2LT came with 17s.

 

Sounds like you have the 1LT. w/o fogs would make it a 1lt since I don't believe anyone would remove the fogs off a 2LT and like prod said, see if FE3 in on that label inside your glove box (not the top box) . The 2Lt also has the StabliTrak Control System which was not an option for the 1LT.
