Who else tow's with a Chevy Avalanche?

[Lightning]

I have a Chevy Avalanche that I tow my Ultra with and I was just wondering if anyone else has this truck? Do you like the way it tows? Have you had any issues with tranny holding up, brakes, etc....?

I was jumping on the thread here to give you grief about driving a Chebby, but then I saw you have an Ultra...man, talk about raining on my parade! :D I hate when that happens......

[Lightning]

Sorry to bum you out. If it's any consolation, I looked at an F250 once.

AAHHH the AVALANCHE...A twuck only an engineer could love!!!Supposedly they tow pretty good but they're so ugly I wouldn't want to be seen in one!!!I hope you have a real dark tint on the windows!!!Maybe the ULTRA will distract them and they won't notice what's towing it!!!hahahaha...Just kiding...I couldn't resist!!!

I agree, it's not the most aesthetically pleasing vehilce to look at, however it is pretty functional. It drives like a caddy too. After a new set of Weld Wheels, it doesn't look too bad.

HEY LIGHTNING...I was just bustin' em...CHEVYS aren't my cup of tea but they do make a hell of a truck!!!My bud across the street from me has one & it is VERY plush & tows great...Since I drive a DURANGO we ALWAYS make fun of each other!!!It was even worse when I had my BRONCO!!!HAPPY MOTORING!!!BTW...Another friend is a CHEVY guy & he has had problems with the steering boxes on both a SUBURBAN & a full size CHEVY van...no tranny probs tho...I've found that if it's going to break, it will USUALLY do so b4 the warranty runs out...It's pretty rare to get a lemon these days...All the manufacturers are trying to make a good long lasting product...Competition works!!!

What'ssss UP Lightning,Hey ckeck with 28 sportCat he has a 02 Avalache 2500 with the 496 and 410 rear gears.He said it a great truck for the job.He tows a 28CAT about 7400 pounds.I think I May get one to tow my NEw 30 HTM after the new year.Good Luck with your truck.

that avalanche is built on the suburban platform so any tech bulletins considering the drivetrain or brakes on a 'burban should apply to your truck.

I have an Avalanche 2500 (8.1L w 4spd Auto) that I tow with, and I love it. It pulls my 7000lb 26' Sonic loaded with all the crap like nobody's business.
The truck has:
K&N Custom FIPK
HyperTech PPIII
Custom true duals, all polished SS, w/ Flowmaster 50s
Billet Grill
Billet Bowtie
Rear Sportwing
Spray-in Scorpion Liner
Enkay Rock Tamers
ARE Outlaw II Rims
Cooper Discover AT Tires
Catch-All carpet floormats
Lund Hood Protector
Weathertech Window Visors
Air Lift rear airbags
Westin nerf bars
and every option; less the snow plow package.
My tranny had a problem from the factory, but after 3 trips to the dealer, they fixed it. The fluid pump was crap.
