Reply With QuoteI don't know if it's changed with the '06's, but when I was looking, you couldn't get the 3/4 ton without the plastic. Just the 1/2 ton.
Well I really need a 4 door truck and like the looks of the avalanche(4x4 lt pwr 5.3) with OUT the plastic side pieces. I will trade or sell my 04 silverado 5.3 x-cab 4x4 red tow leather...
I don't have a boat yet but I would like to know how they tow and how much they will tow( boat under 27'). How's the ride? Any more info good or bad would be great.

I just want another 1/2 ton.. My silverado 1500 does just fine so I sure the 1500 avalanche will be the same.
thanks
1500 avalanches are built on the Suburban frame and weigh quite a bit more than the silverados.I believe there towing capacity is also slightly lower?
They are nice and versitaile but cost quite a bit more than a similar crew cab 1500.
pm our chevy sales guy jay he might be your best way to get info and also offer you a deal in one call
Ford has $4000 off on their supercrew XLT. I know where you can get a good deal.
I just bought an FX4.
I want a used loaded LT 4x4 04-05 with low milage. Chevy is the only truck I will drive but thanks for the info on the ford..
After 5 Chevy 1/2 tons and one 3/4 ton I bought up a 1/2 ton Avalanche in 2003. It's a Z-71 4x4 without any plastic or moulding. Bare Nekkid!
It has been great and the ride is far better than the leaf spring trucks. Beware the 3/4 ton Aval. goes back to leafs in the rear. The 06 now have a 4:10 rear which I wish I had over the 3:73. I've camped out of it twice, and tow about 5,500 lbs of boat. I would rather see the 6.0 max in the truck over the 5.3 for the towing but I use the truck every day as a driver so it's not that bad a trade off. I get 17 MPG on highway and 12 towing. I like having 4 full doors and still a bed to use for junk. PM if you want more info.
I have a 06 all white Z71 with leather, sunroof, tow package, the whole nine and absolutely love the hell out of it!
I used to have a tahoe which was nice too, but too family looking for me.
If you have any questions on anything, pm me and I'll let you know whatever! :boxed:
God you are going to lose so much money buying that Avalanche THING..JUST GET YOUR SELF A 2007 Suburban z71
