Default CTS-V or TB SS?????????

Im kind of thinking of getting rid of my cts-v for a trailblazer SS. I love my car but not having a truck is starting to gett to me .... Im liking the way the tb SS is looking and it can do all the truck things that i need, but who knows...... My other option i was thinking a bout was gettin an old beater truck just to pull my **** around but then that will probably turn into another money pit......

soo what do you think CTS-V and old beater trruck or TrailBlazer SS?

I cant see ****. Im guessing a boat? If you need it to pull something like that then get the TB. And by useing it as a truck I ment they way us northerners use a truck, driving in fields, driving in snow, etc.

Keep the caddy. Not only will it outperform the SS but you'll loose good money trading your caddy in for one. Get a beater and keep the caddy for fun

CTS-V is nicer and a little more fun to drive.

Pimp factor = Caddy
Towing ability = TBSS
Better drivetrain = TBSS

TBSS interior (especially the dash) just kinda sucks apperance-wise.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the CTS-V....rear breaking and a ton of other issues (More than an F or Y body)

Although the TB SS is a hot looking truck, I say Keep the caddy. You get both the comfort and looks as well as great performance with it.

the only reason i was thinking of going that route is because It would serve a few purposes like you said towing and i can beat on it quite a bit more and still not have to worry about having two cars to deal with parking, maintenance, and all the other bull **** that might come with a beater
