Dylan06SS Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 I'm fine w/ that... keep the SS under the radar... feels better when you completely embarass one of the other trucks on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styleandspeed Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 They will only do trucks that are Brand New for 05. That is why there is no f150 or anything also. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The truck of the year is usually the newest one to the market. It really doesn't mean that much. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Keep in mind that the Toyota Tundra was once "TRUCK OF THE YEAR" ... and the Titan was "4x4 OF THE YEAR" Those awards are usually just a joke... goes to the newest truck or the highest bidder. Do you honestly think the Nissan Titan is a better 4x4 than any other truck on the road? HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 I rarely put much stock in those magazine picks... it's usually all about manufacturer kickback and advertising dollars anyway! We all know who has the Best sporttruck anyway..... anyone who drives a Silverado SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srtSSsvt121 Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Actually I think it was the toyata tacoma X-Runner. And from what the specs say it is almost or as fast as the SS. They are pretty sharp looking trucks. I hear there is also a supercharger made for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dros44 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Sport truck tested the x-runner at 6.9 in 0-60 and 14.92 at 93.10mph. and its a 4.0l v-6 with 245hp and 282lb-ft. weighs 3690 and can tow 3500 lb. They might not rate us the best sport truck. But ours is awd, can tow over 7500 lbs, still runs 0-60 in 6.3, and is a reasonable price. So overall ours is, I feel, the most capable truck.

styleandspeed Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Yes, our trucks are more useful, but I really think that those X-runners are pretty badass. They put a 6 speed manual that has the throw of a car shifter, it pulls better than .9g stock on the skidpad, outbrakes our trucks, and although it isn't out yet toyota is going to have a supercharger that can be put on, and still retain the factory 5yr, 60k mi warranty on everything. I think that is awesome myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dros44 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 yeah im not denying its not a badass truck...but i prefer the ss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 That is pretty awesome, but it doens't weigh nearly as much as our truck, so the braking doesn't impress me yet.... other than that is sounds like a swell truck Wally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 motor trend says our truck is 6.6 seconds. I'd probably go with that figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
