I have seen 2!!! In Houston, TX on the north side of town. One of em is a black with grey trim, and a Z66 sticker on the side. It is cool looking, and looks smaller than my truck!!!

I think it would look better with more aggressive tires, and maybe a lift!

One was on display outside at the dealer, and the other was pumping gas (and probably lots of it)!

I saw one on a lot today myself.

It had decals on it,I was thinking that they were Z71's but they could've been Z66's.

Pretty cool looking vehicle.

The Z66 Avalanches are 2wd.

Bowtiefan, I'm pretty sure the Avalanche pricing is up on Chevy's site -- except for the 2500 and North Face Edition.

kaspar139, if you're driving an ex-cab shortbox, yes, the Avalanche is shorter -- it has the same wheelbase as the 'Burban.

Thanks Chugger. I was wondering why it looked small, but it still is a sweet lookin ride! I also saw a TrailBlazer for the first time yesterday. It looked a little weird. Kinda like a Toyota Landcruiser! (I didn't like it).

The Avalanches are here in western PA now... I haven't seen one yet but my wifes boss went and looked at one yesterday.

Chuggernaut · June 1, 2001

Hopefully that means that they'll be hitting northcentral PA soon then.

Saw my first one today. It was black with grey trim and said Z???something on the rear quarters. This was in a small hick town in MN. Sharp looking trucks.

went to detroit today, saw about 10 of those mofo's all red with black trim.

Well if you guys are seeing some, that means I will be due to see one in about 4 months. LOL

I stopped and looked at a charcoal Z71 Avalanche today. It was nice and it stickered at ?,5xx. It actually had the EPA ratings on the sticker!!! 13 city and 17 highway with the 5.3L (and I don't know what rear gears). It reminded me alot of a Chevy version of a small "Hummer", but with alot of nice options. It also had a set of aggressive Goodyear radials on it... (no Firestones).
