I used to clown on Avalanches pretty hard...but after owning this one for a while - I take most of it back. Overall it's a great Swiss army knife.

I like the Avalanche.

I've never really been a fan of the caprice wagon. Just so damn big!

Right now I use whatever friend's truck is available to me since I recently sold my truck. I'll buy some other GM vehicle before next summer. Possibly a Tahoe, maybe a dropped dually or perhaps another lifted Duramax. Who the hell knows.

All I have is present. But not much has changed.

And don't forget the "If this vans a rockin, don't bother knockin" sticker in the back window.
I was 17 when I bought it brand new, making $3.25 an hour.

I'll bet you were popular with dads when you showed up in that van to pick up your dates back then

No pictures but 2001 or 2002 had a 1996 Exploder. Towing 18' jet boat home, 4 peeps in vehicle, loaded with shit. Swerved to avoid debris on road, almost lost it in a ditch because of the sway from the boat,etc. Needless to say the Exploder was gone shortly after that.
Still got the 2500 HD now.
