Now if i wanted a "Sporty" SUV, I wouldnt look at anything except the TBSS. Do they make a TBSS in AWD and 2WD?
I was just throwing ideas out there for ya. I wouldnt buy a Titan, just tryin to help.

What kindof gas mileage does the TBSS get? i havent heard any numbers.

If you want a Jeep, at least get the SRT-8

Another vote for the TBSS.

Thanks for the help fellas!

I'm starting to remember why I fell in love in the first place. 14 bolt rearend, GREAT LS2 engine, 4.10 gears, nice 20" wheels, black paint job, SUV practicality, the ability to tweak the computer, availability of dual exhaust, the cool factor, all-American Chevy nameplate, good brakes (4-wheel disc), Bose speakers, availability of upgrade parts, fun factor, and all the support from you guys online if I have a problem or want to upgrade.

I had completely written off the TBSS before reposting here, but I think I found my way home again. 14 bolt rearend really turned me around since I was thinking about the 10 bolt in my T/A, and not wanting to buy a new vehicle that I would have to replace the rearend. I don't really want another Dodge, or a Jeep. Ford is stodgy and boring, underpowered, and a senior citizen ride. Plus some really knowledgable people here are totally endorsing the Chevy. Powerful recommendations!

TBSS 3SS at the top of my list again.

Thanks again!

Oh yeah, VALUE (bang for the buck), and suspension. Computer tuning can help the tranny.

I keep thinking of stuff. Do you guys think that Car And Driver is making sense by choosing the TBSS over the Jeep SRT-8? The TBSS seems to get great reviews everywhere, even Edmunds, and they can be pretty harsh, but the whole review is 100% positive.

PEDRO, I call 'em as I see 'em, or try to. Your truck IS sweet-looking! I would never think of getting a white vehicle, but looking at yours, with the black wheels, has changed my opinion. Great job!
