i think that thing looks like ass...

what purpose does that truck serve? to be cool? to perform? to work? i don't think it fits any of those categories...

$44k.. that's a joke

I like the sport pick ups always have, SSR for $44K, sorry just isn't going to happen.  I'd be buying the SRT 10 now there's some power (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

The SSR doesn't really fit the definition of "sport pickup". It's far too big and heavy. I'd suggest "highway cruiser for two" as being a more accurate description and less derogatory than "toy". IIRC it does have ~1250# rated load (which presumably includes the occupants), so the two can travel fairly well.

Not that the engine, suspension, or the wheel/tire package are poorly chosen; they just don't provide the snappy performance that terms like "hot rod" or "sport" imply.

Trust me when I tell you that you are aware of every one of the ~4800 lbs of curb weight, even at low speeds. The term "deliberate" comes to mind . . . I'm sure that the aftermarket can and will help out with the rolling stock. A full-size pickup with only 71 miles on the clock that had been equipped with wide, low 22's that came through the shop had almost scary-quick steering response for a truck, and IMO that 22" package would probably be better suited to the SSR, at least performancewise.

FWIW, as delivered out here in NJ just across the river from Philly, the SSR's that I've seen have stickered at $46.5k, though a local Lexus dealer was rumored to have bought one practically off the truck at another Chevy dealership and proceeded to run their price for it up another $10k.
