2004 Chevy Silverado SS
The 2004 Chevy Silverado SS is the top of the line when it comes to ½-ton
models. It dips into Chevrolet's "Super Sport" heritage and
adapts it to a modern lifestyle. Suffice it to say, the SS is one performance-driven
pickup truck.
The SS badge has been adorning special Chevrolet vehicles for over four
decades. When you see it on a model, you know that great pains have been
taken to produce exceptional strength, handling and acceleration characteristics.
There's also a good measure of attitude thrown in as well.
Available Models
The 2004 Chevrolet Silverado SS is a sole model trim. 1500 regular cabs,
extended cabs and crew cabs, plus 2500s and HD models, are all covered
in individual reviews.
Interior Features
Essentially a supped-up extended cab with a short cargo bed, the 2004
Chevy Silverado SS has a 3-person rear bench seat. With a front bench
seat, it will accommodate a total of six passengers.
All 2004 Chevy Silverados are more intelligent than before, and the 1500
SS is no exception. It has an advanced multiplexed electrical architecture
that enables the driver information center to monitor and report on as
many as 34 system functions.
With the SS, in addition power, you are also treated to supreme interior
comfort. Some of the items that work towards this goal are air conditioning,
the OnStar System, leather upholstery, heated front bucket seats, a Bose
AM/FM radio with in-dash 6-disc CD changer and steering-wheel radio controls.
Exterior Features
The Silverado SS has 6.5-ft. short cargo bed. It also features Silverado's
largest-ever, 20-inch wheel and tire combination.
Performance
The Chevy Silverado SS is designed to perform, and it doesn't disappoint.
Under its hood is a 6.0-liter/ 364-cu. in high-output LQ9 version Vortec
V8 engine. Topped-out, it will produce 345 horsepower at 5200 rpm and
380 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm.
To this engine is mated a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission whose
3.06 first gear and 0.70 final gear contribute to the truck's impressive
performance.
The 2004 Chevy Silverado SS grabs corners and whips around them, and
it plows through mud and grime. This is made possible by its large wheels
and a standard full-time, all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with viscous-coupled
transfer case.
Safety and Security
The Chevy Silverado SS, like all Silverado models, is tough and sturdy.
Its frame is solid, able to withstand collisions that might seriously
damage smaller cars. Standard safety equipment includes dual front airbags,
antilock 4-wheel disc brakes and daytime running lights.
