They didn't make an orange Avalanche in 2004 when I got mine!

You did mean tow "rig" ? (although tow pig as in gas consumption would be accurate)

I drove it to work today, which is mostly higway, and I've found I'm developing a bad habit of watching the instant fuel mileage guage, which also shows when it's in 4 banger mode. :D :D

I do the same thing all the time! I noticed that when I watched the instant mileage I got better average mileage. Probably because I wasn't putting my foot into it! LOL

I have 20" Duellers as well. The tires are quiet but the wind noise coming in the doors is horrible. I was about ready to take it back thinking a seal was bad but I have two friend with them and they do it too. Kind of annoying.

I think I'd take it back.

I've got 500+ miles on mine so far, and it's been very quiet. I been 80+ and haven't noticed anything. I'll pay more attention tonight on my way home and report back tomorrow. :D :D ;)

Both of my friend's trucks do it to. We all got them the same month. It's my only complaint. Other than that I love it.

And it pulls 10,500 lbs! :D It does drink the gas though!

Drove it home the other day 75-80 mph, and didn't hardly notice anything. One thing I did notice was a tiny whistle, which I think is coming off of one of the wiper blades. Nothing major though.

Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the dealer installed the vent visors on mine, which may help a little bit of noise around the windows.
