I love this Chevrolet Avalanche LT (mine's a Vortec 5300 SFI V8 engine)! My last 4 vehicles were passenger vans - now I'm a truck driver. Very comfortable to drive; nice high visibility; everyone looks at you when you drive by; stock exhaust has great deep sound; standard sound system with satellite sounds great; 20" polished aluminium wheels look fantastic; gas mileage due to engine management system is very reasonable for 5.3 liter engine.
Did not have to pay gas tax on a pick-up truck.
Back cover is definitely weather proof, yet easy to remove.
The rubber floor in back holds items like glue, nothing moves back there.
Has handy hooks in bed to attach ropes, bungey cords etc.
