CBass comment about, " Something for the suburbanites to call a truck and have storage for their kids soccer gear. HD Silverado's is where its at!" Not all of us need a truck 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Downfalls of the AV for me are, sometimes I just positively, absolutely hate removing those bed panels. Some of the positives are, when the four of us go camping the bed gives me a nice water tight space to store our gear, sitting for all of us comfortably and sometimes we even take five passengers. I have taken six on a 4 hour trip comfortably...If you are honest, thats very hard to do in a silverado.
Don't forget the locking storage areas (saddle bags), what a great option!!!!
Enough rambling on, each to his own right!!

RE: Looks
Yeah, I love my 2002 Avalanche 4x4. The ride is smooth both on and off rode.
I've hauled 20 sheets of 5/8" 4x8 plywood without a problem. Later, took the wife and four kids out with plenty of room to spare... You can also lower the midgate, leave the panels in place and throw a mattress in the back for an instant camper that sleeps two adults comfortably. It's very versatile.
It has plastic on the sides, but underneath that plastic is sheet metal. I've had shopping carts, car doors, rocks, etc... hit my sides, and never suffered any chips or dents.
I like the Silverado too, just like my Avalanche better!

I was in line for an '07 Avalanche before I found my truck. $15,000 can make a mans decision for him. For the work I do, jobsite superintendent, the Avalanche would be perfect. I like them enough that I would like to change my lights to Ava' lights just for the look of an Avy.
