The Cheyenne gets my vote. I would buy one.

Although the Chevy Avalanche/Cadillac Escalade EXT are touted as trucks, are they really trucks?Since it's on the Suburban frame, it rides more car-like, but it's considered a truck, albeit a hybrid, because of the open rear cargo area. I bought an 03 Avalanche and am still trying to decide. But overall, I do like it. I was going to buy the 1500 Silverado LT, and ended up with the Avalanche because I wanted the rear seating area. It handles very well and I have used it on a few occasions to haul things. Just not sure how the bed will hold up with all the plastic for the water management system. So far, I've had very little water get in the bed area. The 5.3L engine with 3:73 gears gives it spunk, but Chevy should offer the 6.0L in addition to the 8.1L. I bought it to tow a car/trailer and haven't towed with it yet. Everyone has opinions relative to whether something is nice looking or ugly. Comes down to one simple thing. If He/she who bought the vehicle likes it, doesn't really matter what a passerby thinks.
