I didnt get on it too hard on the launch cause I was afraid of spinning and over-revving so I kinda ***** footed a little. My worn out 26x11.50x16 ET streets held and I cant complain. I was full weight also with my 22s up front, tailgate on, only weight I removed was the rollpan in place of the bumper.

The 65e acts like it doesnt even know its there. The truck only has 16k miles on it though.

Also, "given the funds" is not a good argument. "Given the funds" you could put in a twin turbo LSX 454 with a 300 shot of nitrous on top of that. The fact of the matter is the SSS in stock form is fat, slow, and a clear cut third place in regards to Dodge and Fords offering for those year of trucks. The SSS is definitely a nice truck, it looks very good, it's comfortable, and requires no more maintenance than a normal truck (which is basically is just a regular truck, there's nothing "high performance" about it really). It's more of an practical everyday guys truck than the lightning or SRT-10.

But I am a Chevy guy, given the opportunity I would take an SSS over a lightning or SRT-10 GIVEN I had the funds to mod it to my liking. If I were to buy the truck and leave it stock/lightly modded, I would without a doubt pick the Dodge, or possibly the Ford.
