BrettSS Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Make it short, We are getting a SS in the spring time in 2008 so im stoked on getting my dream truck. We will start to look around Winter time and into Spring to find the best one we can get our hands on and its going to be a Onyx SS I just got some questions to ask and opinions you guys can give me. 1) 2WD or AWD? , We live in Las Vegas so we wont hit snow at all only if we go to the mountains which we usually dont do often and we travel mostly to California and Utah. I was thinking maybe going with the AWD and maybe putting a Turbo on. Or do a 2WD with S/C . 2) How long do SS's usually last millage wise and what are the major/common problems you can encounter with your truck? Lastly, how much do you love your truck. I just cant wait to cruise in it and smoke some people after I get some mods on it. Thanks for ur time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 My truck and I are old pals, I have so much fun with it. If you take care of your truck it should last a long time. Some of the problems that I have heard of is the steering column thing, with mods the trans going out. I bought an 07 so I didn't have an option for AWD, if I did have an option I would have opted for the AWD just because it gets off the line a little better, and to drop a boat would be nice to have the AWD. Like Fireman said the search fuction is amazing and a key to almost all the information you need or want to know. -Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkSSnCpt Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I LOVE my truck it's an 06 in black, no complaint here exept black is the hardest to keep clean and seeing that u stay in the desert it might harder to keep the dust off... AWD's definatlly have a better take off but because of the extra wight which isnt much more both AWD's and 2WD's r basicly the same in the quater mile... god luck... -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBlueSS Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I love mine. It may not be the fastest of the sport trucks (Lightning, SRT10), but I can haul a load, tow a trailer, carry more than one other person, and look good doing it.

BrettSS Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Sweet guys, ill use the search function more to find some answers, but I havent been able to find if I should get a Turbo or S/C for a AWD.

detjoe Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 get the truck then start blowing your money! I would get a turbo. and a spare trans:) start your shopping here we often have the best selection of used SS and alot of them are modded already. Save your self some trouble and buy one with a radix already on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
