differences between a Avalanche, a Truck and a SUV
1. some SUV's are front wheel drive (with the exception of a few "trucks" that I can think of, Volkwagen Pick-up, Subaru Brat) all trucks are rear wheel drive.
2. Some SUV's can be confused with station wagons, an Avalanche, and a Truck do not have this problem.
3. Many new SUV's have the "looks like a mini-van" complex, again Avalanche and a truck do not have this problem.
4. I am not sure where there is a confusion with the Avalanche and a SUV began, there is only one common denominator that I can think of....The Chevy Suburban...they both have the same chassis (the only difference between it and a truck chassis is the rear axle mounting)
5. Most all trucks have a subframe chassis....the majority of SUV's on the market are of unibody construction.
6. Show me an SUV with a bed
7. When the Lamborghini LM5000 was introduced in the 1980's, (the 1st vehicle with a construction similar to the Avalanche) NOBODY confused it with a station wagon or a minivan.
8. If I take the back window out of my 3/4 ton Pickup truck and put in a hardshell bed cap...would that make it a SUV?
'nuff said for now!
