Default Pics of my new ride

Got my crew cab where I always wanted it, then decided to get something different. I was originally looking to get a 4x4 Z71 Sierra Crew Cab, but this was brought to my attention being a demo vehicle and ended up being 4k under MSRP after taxes and financing. It's an '07 Avalanche LTZ with the 5.3 "active fuel management"
Plans for it are intake/tune/Corsa
(if the one I have off my old truck will work)
and the LTZ Tahoe grille inserts:

no they werent willing to deal wit us on em at all, they just kept pushing them damn cobalts to the point were we broke even wit her negative equity wit her impala so i couldnt afford not to jump on it for what they were giving us and doing. i told her im gonna try to find her a cheap reg cab and well go from there, now that she still has a 4 passenger car she can get a 2 passenger truck cause it will really only be for racing

Yeah, I really like the Avys now. The LTZ interior is SWEET!!!

What sorta mileage is it getting? I know a few people that have been playing with the AFM settings to try and get it to stay on longer while cruising.

How big is the bed with the midgate folded down?

Awesome truck man.

Yea, I wasnt even really looking at them until the salesman brought it to my attention. They had a really sweet black/chrome one, but I swore off black even though I took it for a test run. It shows MPG average of 14.8, but I dunno the habits of the person that had it on the demo. The bed goes back pretty far, just not tall with the cover on top. I havent really had a chance to play with everything on it yet.

Thanks for the compliment, I will probably get the front windows tinted tomorrow before I pick up the LTZ grille inserts I ordered today.
Then Ill have to crawl underneath and see how the factory muffler is to see if the Corsa will fit or not.

Nice ride man, I'd love a new Avy (in Black of course ). They've really come a long way. Good luck with it
