The truck as tested price is $36,780.

1/4 mi in 15.1 sec @ 90.5 mph.

OK. I paid $26K for my Titan and got 305 hp/379 lb-ft.

I know the Titan is a little slower, but is it worth $10K?!?!?!

For $10K LESS, I got a tow package rated at 9500 lbs, 4 Wheel Drive, 5 Speed Auto with a 4.10 equivalent rear end.

Am I missing something? We have MORE torque, MORE towing capacity, and LOWER price.

Why is the SS such a hot deal? Hell, I could pay $8K for the Stillen S/C installed and warrantied and it would STILL be $2K less than the Chevy SS!!!

Just thought I would share my thoughts on this matter with ya'll.

Two different breeds though. One is a sport truck, the other a real off-roader.
