About the Chevy SSR.
The SSR builds on Chevrolet's semi-forgotten tradition of curvy trucks, so it is not just an imitation of the PT Cruiser or Plymouth Prowler.
The Chevy SSR combines the open air of a sports roadster with a pickup bed. A retractable hardtop - which remains in the production version - makes it a practical street machine. The two-piece power retractable hardtop stows vertically between the seat and the rear storage bed.
The engine is a modified aluminum version of the 5.3 liter V8 engine with an expected 300 horsepower or more, and a TORSEN axle differential for added grip.
The transmission will be the 4L60E GM automatic, probably with a conventional shifter. There is no manual transmission planned at this point, though lead designer Ed Alburn seems to want one (thanks, John). Derik Price, who predicted its use, wrote that the 4L60E ("an electronically controlled, updated turbo 350") is used in many GM cars and pickups, often behind the 6 liter V8.
Like the Trailblazer, which it is based on, the SSR will feature a hydroformed steel frame with eight crossmembers for stiffness and handling. The engine crossmember will be modified to fit the SSR's V-8. Due to its superior stiffness, hydroforming is becoming the new standard, having been adopted in the heavy-duty Dodge Rams and Dodge Durangos as well.
The production version has somewhat larger headlights and smaller turn signals than the concept, with small changes to the fenders and grille.
A 5'3" x 4'7" covered, lockable pickup box is included with the Chevy SSR concept for hauling. A button on the key fob of the SSR concept can operate the tailgate remotely; a latch on the inside of the tailgate can operate the gate manually.
The SSR will conceal controls for temperature, sound, navigation, weather information, Internet/e-mail access, and OnStar behind a dashboard-mounted panel door.
The interior plays off a twin cockpit theme, presenting a clean, simple, comfortable environment. The storage area between the seats can be stowed away to provide seating for a third person or a child seat, or it can act as an armrest with cupholders that slide out from inside.
The production model, unlike the concept, will have bucket seats, a center console, and, most likely, a conventional shifter. However, it will retain the large (19" and 20") wheels and performance tires.
Load capacity is expected to be light. Cornering should be very good, with a Camaro-like short-long-arm front suspension and a five-link solid rear axle. Large four-wheel disk brakes will give the SSR strong stopping power. A heavy duty rear axle will help keep the SSR on the road despite abuse.
ASC Vehicle Technologies will do most of the construction of the SSR. While GM will do the final assembly in their Lansing "Craft Shop," ASC will handle quite a bit of the SSR's design and engineering, as well as its construction. ASC did the first sketches for the vehicle, and have worked with Lansing on the Cavalier/Sunfire convertibles and Hummer H2 (a modified Suburban).
After extensive review of an early production SSR for our Sport Truck of the Year competition, we said that if we scored charisma, Chevy's Super Sport Roadster would blow away the competition. After driving this mid-year production model equipped with a few extras, we haven't changed our opinion. It has such style and class that it always draws a crowd wherever you drive it. So if you decide to buy one, be ready to share it with the neighborhood.
But that's OK because there's much to share about the SSR, the classiest, friendliest sport truck on the market.
For example, the SSR shares the Trailblazer chassis, but the body-on-frame construction is reinforced with several additional crossmembers as well as its upper all-steel unibody shell. The combination gives the SSR a fairly stout chassis for a convertible pickup with minimal cowl shake and very good road-holding power on moderately rough road surfaces. In other words, it's blast to drive on twisty mountain roads, on the freeway, or just cruisin' the local spot.
This truck is all about style, but for the most part, the form and function blend wonderfully in this machine. The design of the cockpit of the SSR flows effortlessly out of the truck's exterior styling. Its sweeping dash with satin-finished bright-aluminum crossbar carries the body color into the interior. The gauges are large and easy to read, with a distinctly American feel from the graphics on the gauge faces. Our SSR tester came equipped with the electric-heated seats. If you're going to have a convertible, spring for this option. The heated seats extend your ability to enjoy top-down motoring as well as getting you up to temperature quicker on frosty winter mornings. Also, the myriad stylish details, such as the delicate spot lighting on the center of the dash and console, make being in and around the machine an automotive pleasure.
As cool as all the styling and brilliant design details of the SSR are, the heartbeat of any hot rod/sport truck is its engine and driveline. The SSR is motivated by a 300hp all-aluminum Vortec V-8 powerplant that puts power to the rear wheels through a 4L60-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission.
