Vehicle Description
2003 Chevrolet SSR LS Why This Vehicle is Special Back in the '40s
and '50s Chevrolet built what was then called Classic Advance
Design trucks. Later, like the 2003 Chevrolet SSR we have here at
Skyway Classics, Chevrolet built a new concept truck with a
retro-style design that has V8 power, sports car handling, and a
unique look that has become a classic in its own right. Features

folding hardtop Mechanical Our 2003 SSR has the new version of
Chevy's 5.3-liter small-block V8. This all-aluminum pushrod, GM's
first all alloy truck V-8, pumps out 300 horsepower and 331
pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels, by way of a 4-speed
automatic transmission. It all rides on a shortened, reinforced
version of the Trailblazer EXT's hydroformed steel perimeter frame,
which is supported by a firm double A-arm suspension up front and a
5-link rear with a solid axle. This chassis and suspension give the
SSR cornering capabilities way beyond those of a typical pickup,
turn in is quick, and front plow mild, body roll is minimal, and
feedback from the suspension and tires first rate. Stopping the SSR
are 4-wheel disc brakes with standard ABS, which brought it down
from 60 in a good average distance of 132 feet. It all looks
factory stock in a clean and detailed engine compartment with all
the correct factory components like air conditioning, power
steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and factory alloy wheels and
grippy black wall performance radial tires. Interior The SSR's
exterior is matched by a slick cockpit that's both custom stylish
and Chevy efficient. Brushed red body color trim provide a nice
contrast to the dark dash and doors, while twin well-padded leather
clad power buckets provide good long distance ride comfort. The
main gauge cluster is super with auxiliary gauges are tucked low on
the dash. Controls for the AM/FM/CD audio system are clear and easy
to use, as are the simple climate controls. It has sculpted bucket
seats, a color-matched center console, power windows, power locks,
power seats, power mirrors, cruise control, key-less entry,
ice-cold air conditioning, and stereo radio system. Exterior Our
SSR retro machine has a legendary curvy style with modern
streamlining covered with slick factory red paint that has the
original deep luster. Chevrolet trucks in the 1950s had a lot of
chrome and stainless and they carried over that retro theme as well
machine as there is plenty of bright work on the grille, door
handles, and the running boards with shiny chrome factory mag
wheels alloys for an extra aggressive stance. Super fat front
fenders bulge out from a plunging, wedge-shaped hood. While in the
rear, the sporty cargo box is flanked by even fatter fenders. But
the slickest exterior feature, and the core of the SSR's appeal, is
the power folding hardtop. Just press the switch on the center
console, and the two roof sections retract into a compact vertical
storage bay. And this transforms the SSR from a funky pickup into
an open air custom cruiser. Conclusion Our 2003 Chevrolet SSR that
we have here at Skyway Classic has a V8 engine is a classic already
today, and certain to be in the future. If you have any questions,
