Comfortable truck

I was looking for something that would be able to transport tall things occasionally, room for 4, comfortable and reliable. The Avalanche ticked all the boxes. Based on a Suburban frame, it is definitely comfortable, enough room for all I need to do, and can haul small loads with ease. Very impressed with the 22 mpg I got on the highway once, although 17-18 is a little more common. Owned for almost a year and it has been trouble free!
