i loved the truck but just doesnt cut it in the snow. if it were awd id probably still have it, instead of the vette. other than that i really like the tbss, but thats me.

for all those saying tbss...go take a peak at the srt jeep first, i have driven both and the interior and fit on the jeep makes the chevy look like...well a chevy. ITs not even comparable. Not to mention the jeep has gone 13.7 stock even with awd.

I still vote Silverado SS AWD or Silverado/Sierra 2500 Duramax!!!

Thanks for all the thoughts guys. Keep 'em coming.
I test drove a SRT 10 on Sat...nice truck but really didn't do much for me. Also I thought it was interesting that it stickered at $56K and the saleman knocked off $9K before even hearing any thoughts from me on the truck. They want to get ride of the two they have bad. Also interesting, the black one I drove had 49 miles on it, and the wheel wells had more rubber in them than my car does after a day at the track...that's really messed up, but unfortunately doesn't suprise me.
So next Sat. I'll drive the TBSS and the SRT8 Cherokee. The big differences from what I can tell so far are:
-SRT8 is nicer, plain & simple. Nicer looking, nicer interior, dual exhaust pipes, doesn't have the "Chevy" stigma.
-SRT8 is about $6K more for a similar equiped TBSS, not including current Chevrolet incentives.
-SRT8's are hard to find, and therefore I am guessing are not selling at a discount. We'll see next Sat. though.
-TBSS has everything I want except for the single exhaust, and the less than impressive interior.
-TBSS seem to be pretty plentiful, have incentives, and I would guess would sell at a discount...so $6K plus a discount plus incentives= a pretty good price relative to the SRT8.
Anyway, thanks for the thoughts and anymore feedback anyone has would be great, as I'm figuring it all into my decision.

even if the chev tech is a mastermind and the benz tech is a pot head i would take the benz hardware anyday jon.
the motors and trannies in a benz is what gm strives to offer. gm just plain out wont spend the money any put that **** in their cars, they will never sell a 4 door sedan for 90,000.00 so they cant afford to build a car like it's worth that. gm doesnt even offer hardware that compares in their pricey caddy line-up. step on the gas in a caddy and it's like rolling the dice whether your gonna break something right away or real soon.
i understand gm loyalty but that was kinda silly.
