I just sold my06..... I will sum it up.. Ahhhh, it's alright. Transmissions are junk, put my 2wd into a ditch, they r squirrelly. I sold it for $6,000 w54k it had a big scrape down the side, from me not paying attention! I would not buy another.. I tried combining speed, and practicality together. The truck wasn't fast enough for speed, and not practical enough for dd. ask away if you have specific questions

I had a 2006 AWD I bought new and kept for a little over a year. Sold it to a good friend of mine who still has it & drives it daily. It's been a great SUV. They are fun to drive. They make decent power in stock form and the mod market for them is pretty big.

Don't get it for gas mileage, it sucks. Had a black 06 3ss. Great vehicle, sold it when gas originally went to $4 bucks as I was driving 100 miles a day. I'd buy another.

They are decent trucks. I really like sport truck/SUV's though so I may be biased. I had a 04 Lightning and a 07 TBSS at the same time. Both were fun to drive, but the TBSS has a ton of room and despite the interiors not being super nice materials they have nice options (leather/suede insert seats, heated seats, DVD, etc). Mine pulled a jet ski fine, but gas was pretty bad in it. 13-15 mpg mixed and ran 93octane.

I had a regular trailblazer with the 4.2, but I've driven a few TB SS's.

They're fun vehicles to drive and pretty comfortable. Gas milage isn't anything to brag about though. Go test drive one and see what you think.

I test drove an srt8 and it was quick( reminded me of my 99 lightning I had ), there was 3 of them I was looking at but all 3 were sold and also about 10K to 15k more. I didn't get a chance to look at the tbss, plan on going tomorrow to test drive.

Yea, the Jeeps tend to be higher. But unless things have changed, if you compare a similarly equipped TBSS, they aren't too far apart. The good thing about the SS, though, is you can get them with fewer options bringing down the price.
