Trade truck for SS?

So i test drove a 2SS yestersay and fell in love. The only way to aquire this however is to have it replace my truck via trade in for a DD. My question is for those of you with only a camaro is it too much of an inconvenience where not having a larger vehicle such as a truck should be a first concern?

I traded my 09 Silverado for my ss and never once regretted it...ok so there were times I wished I could haul something but the perma grin is enough for me on a daily basis. I never had a perma grin before and my silvy was supercharged.

yea you will miss it.

I traded in a silverado 3/4 ton ,black modded pickup on my 2ss.Yes I miss it but only from the hauling aspect.Been looking for a mint s-10 for quite some time now.Eventually I will find it.As long as you can borrow someone else's I dont see a problem.But if you are like me, owned pickups all the way back to the 60's so yea you will also.

You can rent a truck by the hour at Lowe's or Home Depot, when you need one. ENJOY a Camaro the rest of the time.

If I had to do it over again I wouldn't of traded in mine, I would of waited another few months and cam up with a better down payment and financed more. VERY inconvienent for me at least.

Well i have to trade trucl because i cant make both payments. And wouldnt be able to get a 2SS but its a 2011 that still hasn't sold so original sticker of 39k down to almost 32k with auto, sunroof, and extra cost color. So im thinking this would be a good buy. Trucks can always be replaced imo

In that case then trade away.

I almost did but couldnt because of all the $ Ive put into it. Last payment made 2 months ago

Buy a beater truck and be doneIMHO
