It would appear that my 2003 Avalanche is going to have some version of the word "Red" for it's name.
It seems some family members need to call it something to distinguish between the Avalanche and the EXT.
The word Avalanche does not seem to be everyone's first choice, but "Big Red", "Old Red" and "Red" keep popping up.
I tend to call it "The Avalanche" or sometimes simply "Red".
My old 1993 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer four door 4WD that we have kept as a spare vehicle has always been called "Ed", so I thinking "Red" might be appropriate for the Avalanche since it will eventually become our spare once the EXT gets it's new engine.
The EXT gets called "The EXT, "The Escalade" or "Dad's Truck" and up until I bought the Avalanche, I mostly called it "My Truck".
But, as I sit here thinking about it, calling the two trucks "The EXT" and "Red" make the most sense to me.
We will see what sticks.
