someotherguy Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 the intimidator also has a better suspension or so it claims i've never driven one myself to compare that to my 03 I'm still newbie to SS's but I'm pretty sure that's not true. The advertising information for the ISS seems to imply it has upgrades over the SS but it's just poorly worded IMO; it seems more to me that they're explaining the upgrades over a regular Silverado. As far as I can tell the ISS vs. SS differences are purely cosmetic. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsanders347 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 2wd is useless to me. I need a real truck. My 03 arrival blue is perfect for me. Wish it didn't get 13 MPG though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levilz Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 With about 90% city miles right now, I'd welcome 13mpg usually. I drove some highway miles on the current tank and am currently at 15mpg, and that has me tickled shitless. Lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard The intimidator is slightly lower than the regular SS, and it does have "performance" suspension with a stiffer stabilizer bar up front. I bet 99% of people would not be able to tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet 99% of people would not be able to tell the difference. Really! Thanks for the clarification. To me it doesn't look any lower but I guess I've seen so many modded SS's that it gets easy to confuse stock vs. a little drop. Doesn't help though that when I think of lowered trucks, I'm in the mindset of 4/6, 5/8, stuff like that. I used to run a '92 extended cab longbed that I static dropped so far down that I dragged my gas tank strap on driveway transitions. Before I did the Caddy clip conversion, I ran without a lower valance and would park it by bumping the sway bar frame brackets up over the curb. Man I miss that truck.

rickyrick562 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Red is all that matters whether it 2wd or AWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 The 03-05.5 had a unique grill to the sss where the 05.5+ had the same grill as any other silverado. And the dic had more features like instantaneous fuel economy. Plus nicer door panels. The seats also had the two way lumbar support Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006IntimidatorSS Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 2006 Intimidator SS is my favorite by far. And of course mine has a rear axle sway bar and has Bilstien shocks all around so the suspension is pretty nice ride. Also got a full exhaust system, has dynatek headers and a corsa cat back exhaust system along with a cold air intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
