When it comes to the Chevy SSR, the shy need not apply. This heritage-styled
roadster pickup truck turns heads, garners thumbs-up and elicits smiles wherever it
goes. After significant changes in 2005, including the introduction of the LS2 V-8
engine and available six-speed manual transmission, the SSR returns for '06 with
more power. A new intake manifold and revised calibrations help raise horsepower to
400 (298 kw) at 6000 rpm for models equipped with the available six-speed
manual.
SSR models equipped with the standard four-speed automatic deliver 395 horsepower
(294 kw) at 5700 rpm. Torque is rated at 400 lb.-ft. (542 Nm) at 4000 rpm for both
manual- and automatic-transmission SSR models.
The '06 SSR also introduces new exterior color offerings, a custom-look two-tone
paint scheme consisting of Smokin' Asphalt and Ricochet Silver. The paint scheme
splits horizontally across the vehicle, starting at the hood cut line and extending
around the body feature line that wraps around the cargo area. The transition
between the two colors – the scheme is available with Smokin' Asphalt over Ricochet
Silver Metallic or vice versa – is feathered so smoothly that it appears as the
same surface. Both colors have a clear coat applied that gives the two-tone finish
a custom "one-off" appearance.
Color-keyed interior components in all SSR models with the two-tone paint scheme
will match the vehicle's upper color. The two-tone exterior paint appearance
reinforces the customized look of the vehicle, similar to the style of contemporary
street rods. Additionally, Pacific Blue Metallic has been added to the SSR's
palette, bringing the number of available exterior colors to six.
While the SSR's glorious exterior shape may recall the full-fendered forms of the
late '40s and early '50s, this innovative roadster is anything but retro when it
comes to incorporating leading-edge technology and creative design solutions. One
of its most distinguishing features is the clever power-retractable hardtop, which
provides an open-air driving experience without sacrificing cargo space.
Incorporating a "top stack" design, SSR's retractable hardtop is the first ever
applied on a pickup. It is the only system of its kind where the roof panels move
independently, stacking vertically behind the passenger compartment – a design that
ensures quick operation with minimal stowage requirements.
A single button on the console transforms SSR from an enclosed hardtop to a
convertible in less than 30 seconds, neatly tucking the roof panels rearward
between the passenger compartment and cargo area. This unique vertical storage
design system enables SSR to maintain its 22.5 cubic feet of cargo room (637 L) –
even with the top down.
Also new for '06 are several dealer-installed SSR accessories that have been
designed and engineered by GM. The accessories include a bright hood blanket that
mounts on the underside of the hood and features the SSR logo, as well as two
integrated storage options: a cargo organizer and soft side-saddle storage bags.
The cargo organizer attaches to the cargo area floor tracks and is removable. The
soft side-saddle storage bags (the accessory includes two bags) are tethered to the
cargo area side rails and are easily removed for loading.
Other new SSR accessories include: satin chrome and bright chrome sill plate
covers; satin chrome pedal covers; vehicle care kit; reversible cargo area mat and
a customized vehicle cover. Returning accessories include an engine cover insert,
cargo area strips (available in all vehicle colors, as well as satin chrome) and a
cockpit windbreak. Auxiliary gauges and running boards are available for vehicles
not originally equipped with them from the factory.
Other accessories and accessory packages include: an auxiliary gauge package
(volts, delivered torque, exterior temperature), a body color package, which adds
the exterior color to SSR's auxiliary gauge package, engine cover insert and cargo
area strips; a body color package with running boards; and a windbreak.
