1LE differences? 1SS vs 2SS
Hi guys. I'm pretty new here and looking to buy a 2016-2018 1LE SS in the near future, but I'm trying to educate myself some more first. Do I understand correctly that the 1LE can be in both 1SS and 2SS trim? If so, what are the differences between the two? Any information would be very appreciated.

Yes, the 1LE package is available with both 1SS and 2SS trim levels. Here are the main extras 2SS cars have over 1SS, assuming you go with the 1LE package (hope I didn't forget anything important):
Heated steering wheel Heated and ventilated front seats (3 levels) Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert Rear parking assist Homelink garage door opener (3 buttons) Dual zone A/C with separate controls Memory package for driver seat and side mirrors (2 settings auto-linked to each key fob and 1 exit setting that can be set to auto-activate) Uplevel Bose audio Wireless charging pad Illuminated door sill plates Interior spectrum lighting Lots of threads and posts with pros and cons across the board

The SS1LE was not available until model year 2017 and only in 1SS trim. 2SS 1LE was not available until model year 2018. Buying used it will be harder to find 2SS1LE modes. The primary differences are:
Dual Zone Automatic A/C Bose speakers Heated/Ventilated seats Aluminum accent door trim Interior spectrum lighting Memory package for driver seat and side mirrors Auto dimming rearview mirror Illuminated sill plates Heated steering wheel Universal home remote Wireless charging Power heated outside mirrors, drive side auto dimming Rear park assist Rear cross-traffic alert Side blind zone alert |

Thanks for the info guys. now I know not to bother looking for 2016s. The only features that I would consider nice to have in the 2SS would be the spectrum lighting and bose speakers. All the other options don't do much for me personally. I guess I'd prefer the 2SS but now I know that I don't have to look exclusively for it.

With the 2SS you have the option for sunroof.
and I think you can get Navigation.

I didn't think there would be much of a difference on the used market. If there is that much of a difference, I would probably end up with a 1SS 1LE

True, but I think one of the problems in this regard with the 1SS is that there's no amp, vs the 2SS amp.

The stock speakers in the SS1LE are 4ohm and don't seem to be that sensitive I just dropped in higher caliber speakers in the dash and door panel (off the stock amp) and then added a shallow subwoofer (easily removable for track days) and an amp. $700 all in and night and day difference vs stock. Down the road I would like to add DSP/amp for the speakers but need a way to defeat the amplified door chimes/warnings. |

I had a 2SS (non-1LE) with all the goodies. With my current 1ss/1le, the 2ss goodie I wish I had is the memory seat function and the option to get the Nav unit.

This is for 2021 but 2017-2018 is similar with the exception of Rear Camera Mirror and the forward safety features that were introduced later.
