This site, without a doubt, sealed the deal on the Avalanche for me.
I knew I wanted a quad cab pick-up of some kind. I initially leaned toward the Dodge Dakota, but quickly realized it did not tow enough. When I explored full size crew cabs I was checking the F-150 line, and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD.
As I did my research (lots of it), I came across comments on the Avalanche, found this site, and lived here for a while reading almost everything posted in the Avalanche Zone (General Discussion Section), and everything posted in the Owner's Zone under maintenance, problems, towing & hauling, etc.
I learned a lot about the AV and wanted one. I bought my AV on 6/27/02 and am really enjoying it. I probably would not have an Avalanche right now if it wasn't for this site. All the information helped me tremendously.
