Chevy TBSS tow vehicle
« on: June 16, 2009, 19:19:25 pm »
I got a new tow vehicle too, its a 2008 Chevy TrailBlazer SS.  6.0L LS2 V8 (ala Corvette), true AWD, 14 bolt rear end, load leveling rear suspension, sport suspension tuned, 20s, Navigation, rear DVD, etc.  Eh, just take a look, its pretty sweet if I do say so myself!

Both the new and the old side by side, old TrailBlazer on left and new TBSS on right:

Thanks man, you're new ride is sweet too!

Cant wait to get the Epic hooked up behind the SS and see how she pulls it.  Pulls my buddies '98 Nautique so much better than the 02 TB does, and its miles better than my parents old 96 Jimmy.  Amazing what adding 100/100tq to a truck does!

Nice ride Erik. That will get you over the pass in a hurry. Check back in 6 months and let us know how many tickets.

Haha thats why Ive got a Passport 8500 radar detector :D.  No tickets in 4 years driving, pulled over 2x though, no accidents either.  Although this one has 390hp/400tq vs 270/270 in my old TrailBlazer so...and yes it gets over the pass at 75 without downshifting or unlocking the torque converter.  With the Epic it probably would downshift though.
