[Avalanche Wolf]

We are headed to NC this weekend for a truck club event. but if you are avail on friday afternoon or monday that sand would be great. I was thinking of picking up a bag of live sand as well to help it along.

LMK if we can hook up around then.

What color is your 07 AV? I just got a Black 07 AV 3 months ago.

Can't you guys/gals buy a better vehicle than a Chevrolet...
Maybe like a Nissan...

This is actually our 5th one in the family. We are slightly addicted to the vehicle

It is a 07 Silver birch Z71 with the stainless steel trim and 2 tone seats. We have a lot in store as we are building a show street truck this time around. Our last one was a off road / car show beauty( the one in the avatar with my wife).

We have some friends in the national club we are going to be visiting in the next month in KY maybe we can hook up over some coffee , well iced coffee in this heat

Well first off might I say congrats on post 1,000

Although I know you are only joking around let me say this.....

Well considering GM is who has paid the bills for our family for the last ten years and if it wasnt for this truck we would have not met so many people in the national club for Chevy Avalanches which has Total 28,789 members right now as of this post.

To put that into persective -

The National Corvette Owners Association (NCOA) started in 1975 and currently has approximately 18,000 members. The Chevy Avalanche Fan Club started in 2001 :rollface:

When we got to TN we had very little that made it after the fire in CA and the national club came together and people from all over the country have donated items/money for our kids , my wife and myself. Heck we wouldnt of even had money for all the school clothes and supplies for the boys if it wasnt for them. Most of these people we have never met in person but only on the boards.

Dont get me wrong I know you are only joshin with us but when was the last time you heard of a Nissan truck club doing that for someone ?

The avalanche community are more than just owners with a simular vehicle , we are a family.

Actually my wife drives a Nissan But comparing the AV to a nissan truck is not a fair comparison. The AV is actually a suv.

 

[Avalanche Wolf]

actually it is considered by the automotive industry as a SUT Sport Utility Truck. I have a 6ft bed with the Midgate up with the seats and midgate down I have a 8 ft. SUV dont have beds

Caddy EXTs in our club are called SLUTs

Sport Luxury Util Trucks

I thought they were just a Tahoe with some fancy stuff on them that in the end still leaves you too upside down to trade out of them after you can't afford the gas ....
:X
ooops sorry

I get 17mpg. Not too bad for a truck this big. BTW, what does that titan get? Tahoe? Where did you get that from. It is based on the Suburban frame. Rides smooooth.

Well apparently this thread has turned into bash on people that own chevys. I came here to find the same community i was involded in when i was in Northern California in the MARS group for reefers.

Looks like a came to the wrong place. Enjoying your bashing , I wont be a part of it.

 

[TitansFan]

sorry i was just playing around
did not mean any harm in it

oh and Michael I think the AV is bigger than a Titan. I am embarrassed to say what the Titan gets in few mileage compared to the AV not to mention the issues they have had with the truck when it first came out.

 

[rcmike]

Avalanche Wolf, don't take it the wrong way. I know these guys and they weren't trying to offend. This is a great club and they really are friendly.

Titansfan, I just checked and it looks like the Avalanche weighs close to 1,000 pounds more than a Titan crew cab. The Avalanche definately isn't for everyone. It fits my needs pretty well though.

 

[TitansFan]

Weighs 1000 lbs more and still gets better gas than a Titan.. Nissan really needs to work on their V8 fuel mileage.

My brother is the general manager of a chevy store here in nashville. He drove home the other day a black Avalanche with a big brush guard on front and chrome wheels. The dealership had spiffed it up some. Man was it sharp looking. They were going to put on a lift kit and tint the windows next on it. I will try and get pics when they do if you want to see.
