TheDarkness Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Pretty sad today fellas, I've decided to trade in my beloved Silverado SS for a little upgrade. I have loved these trucks since they came out and have always wanted one. I finally found one low miles 4 1/2 years ago and said I would keep it 'til the wheels fell off. Then this beautiful person came into my life. Everyone knows that has children understand the difficulty getting a child into the extended cab trucks. Just not enough room. And because my truck is a 2006 it doesn't have AWD. Having a four wheel drive truck would be nice. I would spend many hours cleaning the SS. When the time came to go pick up brick pavers for the patio I borrowed my father in laws truck cause I didn't want to scratch mine. I figured its time for me to get rid of the "sports car" and get an actual truck I can beat up a little. There's a little tear in my eye while I write this so I figured the only people that understand my pain are you guys. Sorry guys just venting a little I guess. If you have a Silverado SS that you love just give it a little pat on the dash for me today, thanks. My former SSS And the new to me ride. 2008 Chevrolet 2500hd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaze_v8 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Sad to see her gone, hopefully someday youll be behind the wheel of one again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levilz Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Totally understandable man. I held on to my SSS when we had our little girl, but I had AWD. The extended cab wasn't too much of an issue, but ya have to have something that's going to be safe all year. If I would have had the 2wd, I would have done the same thing. Best of luck.

TheDarkness Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for all the replies guys, its comforting. Having extended cab isn't too much of a hassle, more of an inconvenience. Getting around in the snow with a 2wd SS is a pain in the ass though. I would love to have an SSS again someday, the problem is going to be mileage later down the road. My SSS only had 47,000 miles when I traded it today. Tough to find them now with that many miles, yet alone years down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't think that I've ever seen a more beautiful reason for selling a truck. I feel for you, having to sell it, but I understand the reasons. The new truck ain't too shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I said the same exact thing but instead I said F it I'm only gonna live once and kept it. Bought a brand new truck and don't regret the decision at all. If it sits a few days O well. When I drive it all I do is GL on the choice you make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcapone Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I understand your pain man - family first, big boy toys take the back seat...for now anyway!

When I drive it all I do is :) GL on the choice you make That's great news Jason, you won't regret it brutha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTYW Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah, that is the way life goes some times. I totally understand the hassle of the extended cab part. I had an avalanche before the SSS, and I truely do miss the full rear seat I used to have. That is my one and only complaint with the SSS. Oh, and the gas mileage. Mine will stay, but I have a spare vehicle for DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant really afford two trucks at the moment. Kids are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much got retail for my truck and paid $500 over cost on the new truck. I cant really complain about the cost. Working for a car dealer has its perks.
