Replying to: mediapusher (Jul 14, 2007 8:57 pm) Multiple back to back replies on a topic have always been my definition of insanity for online forums. EDIT second reply... Cadillac Escalade truck - get rid of this stupid anachronism! It might've made sense back in the 1990s, but it's an embarrassment today. You don't see Toyota making a Lexus truck out of the Tundra! Sorry to be a spoiler. The new 2009 Sequoia is just that. It is a big Tundra based SUV 5.7L engine and all. Bigger than the Escalade/Tahoe.. I suppose they will build the new Land Cruiser to compete against the Suburban or even bigger than the Excursion. 2009 Sequoia He meant the Escalade EXT truck thing with the useless tiny bed in the back.  And I agree it is even stupider then the regular escalade. The new LX570 looks like a over inflated RAV4.   |

Replying to: british_rover (Jul 15, 2007 4:05 pm) I really do not like the looks of the RAV4. I think the CR-V is better looking. I think sales bear that out. I did go and sit in the Cadillac SRX. I liked the full length moon roof. I would not buy one as it is too small for my taste. |

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 15, 2007 3:30 pm) Ahh, the truck makes little sense (avalanche/EXT), that is why we so many of them. The truck is a great truck for a contractor that needs the bed for his work stuff (with covered storage) AND needs the 2nd row seat for family, or workers, and if he sometimes hauls long items.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 16, 2007 3:54 am) There are plenty of other trucks that would make better use of the Crew Cab covered bed design then the EXT. The handful of them that I see that are actually owned by business people, taking the 6,000 lbs write off I am sure, that might actually use them as work vehicles aren't carrying anything bigger then a blueprint in the truck. The only version of this truck more stupid then the Caddy version is the Hummer one. The H2 SUT has a bed that is less then three feet long. Even with the midgate down it is only about 6 feet long and then you can only put long thin objects into the truck.

Have a good snack. I was going to buy one also when I was going to go into a venture installing closet systems because it would be perfect for me. However I decided not to go into it.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 16, 2007 4:16 am) Yum Fiber...  I have never ever seen an Avalanche hauling anything in the bed let alone being used for work. They just aren't that popular in the Northeast though. I can't remember the last time I saw an avalanche on the road that wasn't on a dealer plate. There is a chevy dealer nearby me that only sells Trucks/Suvs, Vettes and Harleys along with assorted used cars so I see them on his front line sometimes. The last time I saw an EXT was a year and a half ago when I was appraising one for trade on a Range Rover. |

Replying to: british_rover (Jul 16, 2007 5:23 am) Maybe because the cover is covering? He mostly uses it for hauling his power tools and stuff. The cover covers the stuff for securty. Otherwize he would have a pickup with a cap.
