I could not believe it but Ford only had the Lincoln Blackwood as an offering. The rest were GM and Dodge. They ragged on the wimpy Dodge powerplants. The 5.9L only makes 10 more HP than the 4.7L!

I still do not understand Chevy's ads for this ugly beast. They say part SUV and part Pickup. Nothing on the vehicle is SUV. SUV's have a closed back that is the same height as the top of the vehicle. They should say part truck, part open aired, rattling, dirt-in-the-back of your head flavor-of-the-day vehicle.

 

strange.......that thing made best of 02....what is this world coming to?
looks like someone at GM is in bed with Motortrend
they say it is the best of 02 so i guess ill go buy one now.









for a beater

 

Yeah, I'll buy one too........

Chevy Avalanche <-----The Ugliest Truck in the World!

 

Yea, with the exception of the Aztek, it's the roughest looking thing out there.... They've been out a while now and and I still shake my head everytime one drives buy. Just can't belive anyone would pay 35 grand for one of those... They've got a new one coming out this month where they took most of the plastic off and called it a Cadillac. I'm sure some fool will pay 45 grand for it!

 

I am amazed that Dodge didn't get the nod. They were the only manufactuer that had a new/redesigned model this year. Ford will get that BS award next year when they change the styling. And besides 450,00+ F-series trucks sold last year is better than a BS award from a magazine that only likes imports.

 

They should give out sacks to cover your head when you drive those "things".

 

Seriously with the plastic that Gm is putting on the Avalanche Iam sure they can build like 10 A$$TEKS.

 

For you guys that may be interested in an Avalanche purchase, like one of my friends (he's a moron anyway). GM is offering $4000 in dealer cash on an Avalanche. The salesman hinted at even more on an orange one (yuk!). They had about 25 of them and almost half were orange. We test drove one, they are nice vehicles (to drive) but you would be better off to just buy a Suburban IMO.

 

how can it get truck of the year if it is only a truck half the time? oh well. at least we can tell who has good taste (the ones driving the fords, of course! )

 

I saw an Avalanche the other day. FUGLY!

 

I don't need no stinkin Chevy Havacrap

 

at least it didn't make 4x4 of the year with 4wheel and offroad anyway. they said it was sluggish, cumbersome, and the plastic cladding was removing itself while offroading the thing. bet that would have been fun to see.

 

Please, tell me you are kidding! Isn't
it ugly enough without adding a color
like orange?

 

I hope a few idiots go out and buy one of thoes things. I need a good laugh every day!

I just hope Ford dosn't have anything like that planned. That would be bad!
