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.

Yes! The venerable GMT-800 The SS was a great version

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

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.

@graysonsgarage5157 6 ай бұрын

Those SS Silverado's are probably my favorite GMT800 truck. I especially love the Arrival Blue ones.

My old mans 2009 avalanche also has the 6.0L and as horrific as it is on gas I sure love the sound and impressive acceleration.

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

I am an original owner of a 2003 SS, and as soon as I got it, I added a Magnacharger Radix supercharger to it. The difference was night and day. Loads of power off the line. And, yes, Arrival Blue is the fastest color :D

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.

@jefferyharambe5067 6 ай бұрын

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

Not an Ls motor. You should see the SS trucks with 427 TT and 454LSX S/C

@chaseman94 6 ай 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.

I spoke to someone higher up and it came down to vette owners would've been pissed with a higher hp truck. Gm was afraid they'd jump ship to other companies.

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

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.

The video has a slightly modified SS. Blacked out lights were not original, and neither was the chrome trim around the gas lid. Looks like it was spray coated on the bed as well. And I am not aware of that GM Performance badge on the dash being a thing. That is probably an aftermarket add on as well. But after 20 years, you would expect things to become a bit customized :D

@bwofficial1776 6 ай бұрын

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.

@JakeDavies99 6 ай бұрын

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.

Think? Clearly you're just a fan boy and not in the know. They're cracking 7s in the 1/4 mile. And it's not 4wd, awd until 2005.5 then 2wd. You need to clarify a lot as you don't know much. From an original owner since 05. 💯 The gm.performance interior badge was added by previous owner.
