How many are moving from a truck or SUV? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am a long time truck and SUV person. I like the way it sits up high, and the roominess inside. I also remember the last time I had a car. I was 23 and it was a 1968 GTO. That thing was scary fast, and I loved driving it. I am sure once I drive my new camaro, I will have that same feeling and forget about all the things I considered an advantage with the truck. On the plus side, I will surely get much more attention with my camaro than my old truck!

I went from a Ford Expendition to the Camaro... just picked it up yesterday. There is a big difference between the two. The Expedition has a big engine and will get up and go but it is like a big buggy. The Camaro feels tight... like it is gripping the road. It is a blast to drive.

I am, I used to own a 2001 V6 Dodge Ram that I sold shortly after leaving for Iraq. So there will be quite a difference with my Camaro....

I have a 2000 Blazer, which I think I may keep as an extra car.

To me the Camaro is pretty roomy

Leaving my reliable SUV (Hyundai Santa Fe), which I bought from my dad in 2001, prior to that I had a 91' Z24 Cav.

My dad's first dates with my mom was in his 79' Camaro, so I told him, maybe the Camaro will work the same for me. Family tradition.

Selling it to a friend/co-worker so it'll be in good hands, now all my attention goes to my new Camaro!

2004 Canyon to my SS

Selling my 07 Toyota FJ and getting a 2SS. I love my Toyota and will miss it, but I'm very excited about the Camaro, only thing I'd get rid of my FJ for.

I have been driving trucks for almost 20 years, after a divorce and my 8.1 L in my 06 silverado getting 7 miles to the gallon i figured it was time. After i saw the camaro i had to have it, ordered it without driving it and was a little concerned about the height difference, but after driving a camaro a week ago i have no more concerns. It is a awesome car and even after being so high in my truck i didnt get that feeling that i was sitting on the pavement, it doesn't sit that low in my opinion.

jonny716 · 07-07-2009, 04:09 PM

I went from a 2007 Chevy Silverado with 22 inch rims and tires. Was very nice and customized. I am a big guy and was worried about giving up the luxury of having a large interior to sit in comfortably and the safe feeling of sitting up high in a truck. Grant it my truck was a 6 passenger truck with lots of room. Once I picked up my Camaro 2LT I forgot about all of the things I thought I was going to think about. Have not had any regrets as of yet. It was a tough sell to my wife though due to the fact we have 4 kids and the Camaro only seats 4 (with me driving I can fit only 3) I like to have my seat all the way back. Trust me once you have a Camaro you won't miss a thing.
Oh, and now that I don't have a truck I don't have people asking me to help them move or help them pick something up like furnitrue from the stroe anymore. I am the person now that will be hitting up a friend when I need a truck.
