For those who see off road capability as a priority it makes more sense to just go with a different model altogether. The AWD system should allow it to traverse off the pavement, but it wasn't purpose-built for that like the K5 models were. So few people actually fully utilize the capability of a given off roader however, that I don't know if it would have made any sense for GM to invest in that kind of platform.
