I HAVE ORDERED A NEW 2003 WBH FROM MY LOCAL DEALER, WE HAVE A PRODUCTION DATE OF 2-2-03. DEALER SAID TO EXPECT IT AROUND THE 15TH FOR FEB.

ALSO, I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHAT MPG THE Z71 AV'S (4x4) ARE GETTING IN REAL WORLD DRIVING CONDITIONS.

THANKS CARSON

I'm getting 13 to 15 MPG combined on my Avalanche Z-71 - with a lot of that being stop and go traffic on the I-5 parking lot. I've tickled 19 MPG on long interstate cruises at 70 to 75 MPH. Under extreme off-road driving conditions and heavy traffic I've been as low as 11 MPG.

Hope this helps!
 
I get around 16 mpg.
Congrats on ordering your WBH AV. I'm sure that everyone here will be anxious to see it. Post pics when it comes. What color did you get?
 
I ORDERED SUMMIT WHITE WITH TAN LEATHER. SINCE I USE IT IN MY BUSINESS, I DIDN'T WANT TO STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. :D
 
I average 15-16 on 87 octane. Normal around town/highway driving mix. Did get upper 18-19 range on a 300mile drive all highway ~ 70-75mph

Congrats on your new truck! :)
 
I get right around 15 all the time with a mix of in town and highway driving.

I ordered a WBH 5 weeks ago. The wait is killing me. I hope to have it right around Feb 1. I ordered Arrival Blue.

Did you get the wheel flare kit? I am not sure if I like yet, I am anxiuos to see one with them.

For what it's worth you can paint the wheel flare kits, they look :cool:
That is how I picked the guy to paint my cladding, based on work he had done painting the plastic wheel mouldings on Chev 1/2 tons

My WBH was ordered Dec. 23rd. Dark Gray Metallic Z66. Isn't there a website you can track production if you have the VIN?

Carson, congrats on ordering the Av. I bet mid February can't come fast enough for you!
