Would you buy a Silverado SS ?

[Low Elevation]

I would love for GM to come out with an SS version. Maybe something based off the custom but with the 6.2 or better and with slightly lowered suspension and so forth. Anyone else think that would be sweet or buy one?

Most definitely with a Supercharged 6.2L with say 700HP.

I had planned to buy a brand new truck at a certain arbitrary point in my life that wouldn't make sense to most, if they release a RCSB with the 6.2 it will be that or an SS. If they don't do those things I will never buy a new truck lol

I am totally not a lifted truck guy. Never have liked them because of the hinderance on the performance side. If GM decided to release a new version of a supercrew SS truck with the stance of the 03-06 SS trucks.  I would place my order with them tomorrow.

 

Wish list:

 

22 with optional 24 inch wheels

ZL1 suspension (lowered)

paddle shifters with 10 spd 

dual quad tip exhaust with selectable exhaust features

different modes of driving (sport, track, wet/traction, snow)

selectable 2WD, 4WD, and AUTO 

Leather seats with suede inserts.....loved them in my SS Trailblazer

Heck I’d also be happy if they just offered the 6.2 as an option in a Custom.

Yes, I had an 06 TB SS and loved though seats as well not too mention the engine.

I got tired of waiting for an SS model so I sold my 03 SS that I bought new off the showroom floor, and bought my 19 High Country. I would definitely take a look at one if they came out with one.

Do you miss it?  I miss my SS Trailblazer. I know its not a truck but it towed my boat well and loved the lowered stance, and of course the Vette motor was fantastic

I actually drove mine on pipelines when I went on training detail. It was tricky at times and did more walking than usual. I still had my Z-71 but I just loved driving that trailblazer. To answer the question as long as GM has cylinder deactivation I’m out. I believe GMs outside the box performance days are over.

In a second!

 

I could see this as a starting point.

 

These trucks as a regular cab have a lot of potential!

You can get the Custom Trail Boss with the 6.2 engine.

 

I just hit the configurator on the chevrolet website, and under Custom Trail Boss I could select:

6.2L ECOTEC3 V8 ENGINE WITH 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

 

If I would have ordered my Custom Trail Boss, instead of purchased off of the lot, I probably would have gotten the 6.2 instead of the L82 5.3 with the 6 speed that I have now.

Ya but it’s lifted and bigger tires. Hinders performance. We as “SS” guys want a leveled or slightly lowered truck that Handles more like a street car/truck than a “Hummer”.

Yeah I wasn’t aware you could get that with the custom TB but still not my cup of tea. Something likes this is more what I would like them to offer.

That’s a badass looking truck!

I've seen a guy rolling around in my county in a custom T-1 regular cab short bed. Traffic jammed me up and he got away  before I could catch up to him.....lowered 6-7 inches on some massive tires and wheels but not laying frame. It's got a great stance ! He appeared from behind other vehicles quietly and disappeared just about the time I realized what it was.

 

Probably totally useless as a truck but the ear to ear grin on his face spoke volumes !

 

I think I actually drooled a little as he went by ......
