Aspentaylor Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 The AWD was one of the biggest selling features for me. We simply get too much snow here for me to risk a 2wd model. My opinion, its a mistake not to offer AWD as an option. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I rather have the AWD. Darn snow...u never know when you might get stuck!

davehernandez Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Isn't there a 2WD version of the 2005 SS? Does anyone know if the 2006 is going to have the same body syle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDCRAVIN Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I love the AWD and I love the truck so much I cant think of anyother vehicle I would rather have that would meet all my needs. (traction, sport, power, towing and interior room). I think when they change over to the domed hood it is going to take a lot from sleakness. I do not like the domed hood on the HD.

WisconsinSS Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I will be surprised if they offer it. GM is more likly to build another bug shapped specialty truck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I love the AWD, the only thing we are really lacking is power. If they came out with a AWD truck that put out 500 to 600 hp i don't think anyone would be wanting 2wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_forma Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 It said the early SS's, came standard with the LT package, leather, etc. etc. and onstar and now it is an option. I dont have onstar in my SS and its an 03 so is that a misprint or something that it was standard or am I reading it all wrong? Was onstar in every 03 SS?

Dr Mike Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 "Was onstar in every 03 SS?" NO, It was an option CD <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The truck is built in Oshawa Ontario Canada, so he problably picked up all the info there. OnStar was and is Standard equipment on All Canadian sold SS's, reason why mine listed at 54K Canadian. They did not sell well at all here in the north, but I am seing a lot of the F-250 Harley trucks. Talk of one Uggggly truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R96IMP Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'll keep the AWD-we get enough snow here in indiana to justify the AWD-we looked at the 2wd ones last week,both we saw were minimum option units-looked like soon to be Enterprise rentals. I hope they don't disgrace the SS name with some POS or an ALL SHOW-NO GO truck(remember 1990-91?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 i believe the SS is going to 2wd because of warrenty costs and cafe standards. with the right tires on an SS the awd system is just excessive. i've driven the standard silverado's around in alot of snow with no problem. this past winter i was out on days that some of the roads were being closed due to snow falling faster than the plows could get to it. most idiots drove right in the middle of the road at around 25mph (on the highway). i drove my van all winter with it being 2wd and an even worse open diff. even on the days i drove when the snow was 4-6 inches on the highway itself i passed about every 4wd i ran accross. most buyers of SS's never even see snow or see less than 6 inches at a time all year. it's pretty excessive to drive a 5500lb truck around in awd form. even the lighter VHO doesn't spin the tires unless you're trying.
