"Rolling Thunder"
"You are what you drive. And since we're tired of being an '87 El Camino, we decided it was high time for some new life-defining wheels. We hit the car shows, plied auto-industry insiders with cheap booze, and consulted our local grease monkeys in a search for the best of the best. What did we find? Advanced aerodynamics, brushed-aluminum, 500-horsepower engines, night vision, 195 mph top speeds and that's just for starters. Here are the 18 hot-off-the-line cars that got our motors running. Care for a test drive?"
Avalanche was one of the 18, here is what they had to say:
CHEVROLET AVALANCHE
Spec check: 5.3 liter, 285 HP V-8
"We say: Well, the mystique of climbing Mt. Everest is finally over with this Chevy you can now drive to the 29,000-foot peak. (Or so we're told) Make no mistake: the 18.5-foot Avalanche is the baddest SUV on the planet. Stow the rear window and fold down the back seats and you've got a full-size pickup truck; its eight-foot, one-inch cargo bed can haul over half a ton of materials, or about 12 Sherpas. Standard-equipment trailer hitch and 8,000-pound towing capacity will appeal to those at lower altitudes. Plastic panels and composite body armor guard against close encounters of any kind, but can't make a dent in this monster's 5,500-pound curb weight. And by the way, it doesn't like mother jokes."
Extra credit: Avalanche's four-speed automatic transmission features a special tow/haul mode, which causes upshifts to occur at higher rpms. Press a button at the tip of the shift lever and the monster Chevy can haul more cargo, more trailer, and more ass off the line. Gitty up!
Typical owners: Guys who wear plaid shirts, professional arm-wrestlers, Bigfoot.
