csxfbird Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Ok guys, after spending the past month moving, it's just a matter of getting finances in order to finally purchase my first truck. It instantly came down to the Lightning and the SS, but I much prefer the practicality of an extended cab and the looks of the SS. I think I've pretty much decided exactly what I want. A black 2005 SS, RWD...any other option is negligible. I don't want the added weight of the AWD system, plus I just don't need it here in AZ. So here's a couple questions, they probably all have obvious answers, but I have no experience with the SS trucks at all. What options are available to the SS aside from a sunroof? Are there different front seating configurations (bench seat or buckets/center console?) Do they come with the integrated tow hitches like most Silverados, and on that same topic, how tow-worthy are they, if at all? How well do they respond to mods? What type of gas mileage do you guys usually see? And if you guys answer that, is your truck AWD or RWD? Are there problems common to the SS, or perhaps to this generation Silverado in general? Feel free to add anything else you guys would like...since I'm coming from a background of muscle cars and motorcycles, this truck business is a whole new realm to me. Thanks.

misterp Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I think that it's now getting to the point where a sticky needs to be written for people shopping for used SSS trucks; if any other senior members/moderators also thinks that's a good idea I'd be willing to research it and write it up.
