Thread: TrailBlazer SS 2wd or AWD?

  1. #1

    TrailBlazer SS 2wd or AWD?

    Well me and the wife drove a TBSS today. She loved it.

    I thought it was Alright.

    The price is the only problem. They wanted 27k for one with scratches and 30k miles. I want one for less $$$$ No mods unless it is electric fans. The Mrs will be the driver. She says no mods. When she isn't looking I Will upgrade the brakes. Maybe she won't change her mind tonight while she is asleep.

    Should we get a 2wd or awd? ? ? ? ? ??

    you need to do a converter, headers and catback. That thing will fly then and she'll never know the difference other than a better sounding exhaust.

    I have got to get one first. I don't want to void any warranty.

    2wd gets off the line just fine. Is the one you are looking at a 1ss,2ss,3ss? if its a 3ss, the price might be a just little high, 1ss,2ss, thats a rip off!

    Since you arent going to add much power I would say 2wd, but me personally I would never own anything that couldnt power all 4 wheels they are just too much fun on the street. A good sticky tire will only take you so far on the street. I have seen a couple people almost lose it racing me in my old truck when we would hit a bump or some dust on the road but the 4wd kept truckin straight and true.

    Yeah, AWD does have its advantages, but the 2WD TBSS is just fine. There are several inconspicuous mods you can do that will improve performanace and not void the warranty...

    I like the awd for the stability in the wet weather. I always use the AWD button in my truck. Rain or just need to get into traffic without spinning.

    id do 2wd if it was me, but if you live where it snows, and the wifey will be diving, then id do the AWD.
