    Think you forgot about GMC Typhoon/Cyclone and Silverado 454 SS, both were "sports" trucks from the 90`s made by GM. So they did cool trucks back in the day.

    I'll never get over the way he says "speedometer." It catches me off guard on every video. "Spidometer" lol I love it.

    Zack, In 2005 'lifestyle' pickups were still in the minority. Today it is hard to find a half ton focused on work.

    At the same time, Holden special vehicles gained the record for fastest production ute/pick up. Ss' name and gm just gets hidden i think.

    My best friend had one of these new, we’d take it to go snow boarding and that 4wd system was awesome, even with the low profile(ish) tires it had plenty of traction to go round

    Another sports truck* Honestly wondering why they didnt use the L18 RPO in the SS trim giving it an 8.1L V8, like the Avalance and other variants of the silverado. I think even the Express/Savana had an L18 option Syclone and Typhoon will always be the GOAT sports trucks/SUV Light weight, low to the ground, lots of relative power.

    the 8.1 isn’t that fast in comparison to a 6.0. Torque unmatched but you’re not picking up the same speed

    These are great trucks. I have the 2003 red and the blue. My son has the 2003 black. All are AWD. All are still on original alternator and many other parts. They got it right back then. I daily my red one for remodeling and it just does what it's supposed to everyday. Snow is no problem at all and the take off in it in a downpour of rain....forget about it!!! It just links up and gets right off the line while a rear wheel will just spin. Like Ferris said...if you have the means...i suggest you pick one up.... BriansV8

    The back seats have much more room than you’d think believe it or not. Unless the driver is super tall and pushes the seat all the way back

    zach youre right, they should have made the truck, single cab short box with an ls7, for the sporty/luxury trim, the sierra denali 4ws would have been enough

    AWD, same transfer case as the Yukon Denali. Not 4wd.

    These are pretty cool trucks and can be picked up for dirt cheap, though usually run ragged. I guess the owner of this truck doesn't want to see where they're going at night and doesn't want people to know when they're stopping or turning. I never understood the appeal of making car lights and windows work less.

    I’d guess the owner rarely drives the truck and when he does it’s never at night. I’d also guess there’s leds behind the lower ducts and the brake lights are still very well visible.

    I remember when SS was in MT, i always wonder why not LS1 or LS2 5.7lt or 6.0lt V8? Interior looks bland even though got good features, HSV Maloo push performance features that GM could have done.

  • @chaseman94
    @chaseman94Ай бұрын

    GM could've very easily gave this truck more power than 345 HP but knowing them they didn't want anything taking any kind of sales no matter how small from the Corvette.
