I went from an F-150 Supercrew to the Camaro. It took all of 2 minutes to get used to the difference.

I still have an Expedition also, so the challenge is really going back to it and not accelerating or handling as well.

GMC Sierra 4x4 - suicide doors; then 2 - 4 door 4x4 Nissan Frontier's - one I sold for the Camaro was the long Bed.

No issues going to the Camaro

The first time I sat in one at the local dealership, I was wondering why it was so high off the ground. I really expected a low, Vette type seat height

There is limited visibility - or rather, restricted. All depends on how you set up your seats and mirrors. I'm short also, so the power seat sure helps!

i still drive my GF's Toyota Tacoma 4x4 long bed; no issues.

Traded in my 06 Tacoma Reg cab for my 2SS. I wish I can keep my Taco but I got no room for a 2nd car....

I went from a 2000 Silverado to my Camaro.

I don't think you can tell the difference until you go from a pontiac fiero to a f150. I felt like I was driving a semi for the first couple days. I never had a problem going from my f150 to the camaro, probably because I get all giddy when I get into it.

Been a truck guy since 1994.......went from a Suburban & H-3 Hummer and waiting on my 2SS. Kept the Suburban to pull my boat and got rid of the H-3. I

2001 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner lifted 3"

It definitely did take some getting used to. I went from looking down at people to hoping that I don't get crushed by a truck

I miss my truck, but I don't regret getting my Camaro!!!

Inferno2SS · 03-23-2010, 04:44 PM

Went from a Wrangler to a SS, talk about a shock to the system. Whiplash!

Skidpuppy · 03-23-2010, 04:45 PM

Avalanche to Camaro.

mrray13 · 03-23-2010, 04:46 PM

Went from an 08 Silverado Z71 xcab to the Camaro, no issues. Of course, at the time I had the Silverado, the wife had a Mini Cooper S, freaking go cart on steriods!! Everything feels big after driving the Mini, lol.

I went from a 2005 GMC Sierra Z71 to the Camaro SS. It was fairly easy to get used to the feel and visibility out of the Camaro. Just adjust everything to your preferences and driving it will be easier than you expect. I was nervous about the blind spots at first but after a short while I was used to using the mirrors more and now it is no problem.

USAFJeeper · 03-23-2010, 04:56 PM

This is my Jeep, it was also a "want" vhicle. I have enjoyed the hell out of it and nothing beats cruising aloing a beach with the top off! I think I might enjoy my just ordered Camaro more! Geaux geaux trade-in!

It might feel a wee bit more restricted!

molsonbrador · 03-23-2010, 07:28 PM

Still have my 99 Silverado with a glasstite cap, been likened to a Tahoe. Less blindspots in the Camaro if you ask me.
