Finished in Arrival Blue, it was a one-owner truck until the selling dealer purchased it earlier in 2021. Stepping out of the engine bay, the modifications made to the truck also include 20-inch wheels (which were reportedly dealer fitted as well) and a newer Pioneer touchscreen that replaces the factory-fitted head unit.Įxtensive modifications and careless owners dented the Silverado SS population in the 2010s this one has fared reasonably well. There's no dyno sheet available, though it's reasonable to assume the blower ups both horsepower and torque. Seriously impressive wasn't enough, so this particular SS was fitted with a Magna Charger supercharger kit by the dealer that sold it new. Suspension modifications were part of the package as well. Keep in mind this was in the early 2000s, when a Ferrari 360 Modena put 395 horses under your right foot, so 345 was a seriously impressive number.

It was bolted to a four-speed automatic transmission and it initially spun the four wheels, though rear-wheel drive was added later in the production run to lower the truck's price. Launched for the 2003 model year, the hot-rodded Silverado lived up to the revered SS nameplate with a 6.0-liter V8 that made 345 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. One remarkably clean example is currently listed on Cars & Bids.

It wasn't always that way: in the early 2000s, the muscle truck war was being fought on the pavement, and Chevrolet threw its hat in the ring with the Silverado SS.


Chevrolet is sitting on the sidelines while Ford and Ram duke it out in the high-performance desert pickup arena.
