The Avalanche version is much less desirable as mentioned, worth less $$ and somewhat worthless in general. I think of them as a giant Honda Ridgeline. But it is still a quality GM truck with a bunch of Cadillac do dads and gee gaws thrown on to justify a 25K boost in sticker price. On the plus side, when the Avalanche first came out and I went to the GM training center for new vehicle introductions, I was sure the mid gate deal would be a leaking, mechanical nightmare!! Turns out, they did a good job on the design considering what it does and how it works. Sounds like it won't fit your needs however. It will make a good vehicle for someone because it sounds like a well cared for cream puff. That means allot.
