:help:

I noticed the 2012 EXT's came out.  Does anyone know what is different from the 2011's?  Are they still talking about killing the Avalanche / EXT line in 2013?  I hope not!!!  Love my Av now.  Looking at a Cad EXT.  That engine is too hard to say no to.    Wish they put a 6.2 in the Av.  ...Diesel would be even better, but that won't happen.
 
Did you catch a price on the 2012's by chance?

mid $60k's to mid $70k's...you can do a lot of Avalanche modding with the difference in cost  :eek:
 
I do not see anything new with the 2012.

You can always put the 6.2 in your AV and the Diesel is not going to happen the frame is not strong enough.
 
Thank you for your response.  How do you put the 6.2 in an Avalanche????  I have never seen that option.  I have asked many times. 

Regarding the top versin of the EXT it actually looks like it dropped in price by $150 dollars.    No changes????  Thank you for details.

 
I just looked at the cadillac website and it seems to me that the center console lid has changed in 2012: now there is a little padded (maybe rubberized?) surface in the little pocket area on top of the center console lid. This area has always had a rubber surface on the Avy, and I always keep my iphone in there, as it fits just perfect and the rubber keeps it from sliding around... the pre 2011 EXTs did not have that, it was all burlwood I think, which seemed kind of in practical to me as it would not keep things in place. That's all the difference I notice.

It can be done... I have an 06 Avalanche that has an 08 6.2l out of an Escalade it's taken a little work but it's been in for over a year now and I love it.

Not in 2002.

the 2012 5.3 makes 320 hp and the 6.2 makes 345, why waste all that energy for 25 HP.

I think the 6.2 is 405 hp
 
The Canadian version Avalanche can be bought with the 6.2 (405hp) engine ..  must live in canada or have a good friend that does.. :B:
 
Here in the us the 6.2 puts out 403 hp, this is according to the Cadillac website. Plus idk why they would build a full size luxury vehicle that size and only put 403. With a 6.2 it should be more. Just look at Mercedes GL. its got 550!!!!!! And the motor is only 5.5, but I believe it's twin turbo, and has a towing capacity of 7500!! STEP THE GAME UP GM!!
