The 2003 Chevy SSR Is The Weird Convertible Truck You Forgot About

So let me know what you think about this weird retractable hardtop convertible truck ‪@Chevrolet‬ gave us for some reason in the early 2000s.

COOL that you did the review! As an owner and long time fan I wish maybe you had chatted with an owner to help you out. The SSR has a solid community that is very close in ways most fan clubs are not. Groups of "R" owners around the country get together in sections of states. Recently I went to a "tech day" where existing owners helped new and existing owners fix things that the dealers are just not familiar with. My top was broken and what the dealer estimated would be $4k was quite simple and only $600 for a couple hydraulic cylinders and 2 pneumatic cylinders that help catch it as it lowers. The hour of work was done for $200 by someone who has done this many times. The 6.0 liter came out in 05 not 04 and also had a 6 speed manual available. BIG FUN. SSR stands for Super Sport Roadster so you know. The funny thing was watching you close the rear cover and tailgate in the exact opposite order. On the white tag hanging down from the top (@ 6:29) it tells you top first, then tailgate, but trust me the way you did it seems to make more sense for sure. But then it doesnt seal correctly. Lastly, I might have detailed the truck before reviewing it? just a thot. I realize it isn't yours, but it looks dirty and well....as a fan...I might have helped! Weird isn't the right word I don't think....but I see the point. Hoovies garage called it the dumbest truck ever....which is also kind of offputting to owners. But it is odd for a production vehicle. Im not sure it was ever supposed to be 100k units, and the 25,000 or so of them is really quite cool. Thats why the community is so tight tho. anyways....thx for the review! Another idea for future reviews would be to maybe include some photos of customized ones to give other ideas to viewers....THX!

Thanks for the tips. I know it was dirty, but the dealer was too busy at the time to wash it. Crazy, I know. I'm glad you found a good group of people with the same interests - I'm sure that makes ownership much more fun. Cheers!

I just purchased an 04 SSR in black w/ 26,500 miles and at first I HATED this truck but it eventually grew on me...
