Pros for Hemi: Exhaust note is awesome. Lots of torque to pull whatever you need to.
Pros for Chevy 5.3L: MUCH quicker off the line (not even close here). Much better gas mileage (4-5 mpg difference).
Sorry, I can't help you on the Tundra. I have driven the 4Runner and found the ride harsh, even for a truck chassis. Your gas mileage will be worse in the AV.
Good Luck!
I can tell you that compared to the Sierra I had previously, the steering is light. It's nice that it steers easy, but not enough feel and way too easy for my tastes. You can feel every little movement of the steering wheel.
2wd = rack and pinion
See for yourselves

Any word if the Av will come with diesel power?
So, by buying on March 21, I guess that means I saved an extra $1500!
Thanks
I thought w/o the cladding they at least had fender flairs from the pics I have seen. I couldn't talk to the owner to see if he took off the flairs. Anybody know ?................geo
wheel flairs. Wish I could of talked to the owner.
Maybe he took them off like I did on my 2500. It
was the first one I have ever seen that way.....geo

I had both, kept the first one.
Uses alot of existing GM parts....check em out.....
Are the 2004's getting the new style 17" wheels that are on the Tahoes?
Looks like the vast majority of Avalanches being ordered are WBH's now.
I suggest going to CHEVY web site or a dealer...

MPG shoudl favor the 3.73 since at highway speed the engine is at lower RPM....and should be using less fuel.,....also you will notice the sticker for both gears give the same MPG...and 2mpg gain is well a lot...over 10% on highway...Which can be due to anything.....
I have also heard the 4.10 gears are weaker since less material is available to transmit the tooth load due to having more teeth in the same diamter.....
