Right now, I wanna get a Chevy Trailblazer 4wd SS or 5.3L V8.. but the GMC Envoy Denalis seem to look exactly the same..

What's the actual difference? I don't care if I drive a GMC or a Chevy.. since they're both freakin' GM.

SS uses the 390HP 6.0L LS2 engine (Corvette, GTO, SSR, CTS-V, same engine used in these)

Envoy's do not use the 6.0L lump

the SS's are SBC based, the Denali is just a frickin Envoy, with an appearance package.

the SS will have stiffer springs, lower towing capacity (but not by much)
drink fuel like you would bong a beer
be royally fast
talk to Apex, he owns one.
