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 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.

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! 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.
