 With every trailer you need some way to tow it.  We recently bought a new tow vehicle to replace what we were using, a 1996 Chevy Conversion Van.  When we were shopping around I had a few requirements on what I wanted in a vehicle. 

  • Be able to seat a family of 5 comfortably

  • At least a 7000 lbs towing limit so we could upgrade the pop up.

  • I wanted a truck bed to haul wood and bikes

  • A smooth ride for long trips

After looking at many makes and models I kept coming back to a Chevy Avalanche.   The test rides were always smooth and enjoyable.  Plus there was lots of room and I still had a small bed in the back with the option to change to a full 8 foot bed.

So on Friday, April 18, 2003 we bought a Arrival Blue 4X4 Avalanche.  I think it is a perfect tow vehicle.

Here it is in full color:

There is a great Avalanche Fan Club Website that you should check out if you are looking at this vehicle or own one.  Many great Mods and answers. 

I have started adding mods to the tow vehicle as well.  I'll start to post those modifications here soon.

And below is the old one:
