Some weight in the back of the truck would have helped a lot.

I wonder if heating tires like that ended their useful life.

I'm sure it did not prolong their useful life.....

Left the big box store yard just as pictured. 3 guys in the vehicle somehow.

Everytime I see one of those I wonder why they didn't buy a real truck.

I've never understood those. Especially the 3/4 ton ones.

I'm no advocate for them (not even a Chevy guy at all) but I know someone with one and apparently the draw is that they are built on the Suburban platform so they have a better ride than the pickups do (did back when they came out). Got to remember - they came out back before trucks were making the great strides in ride quality and interior features that Ram really kicked off with its 4th gen trucks. In today's playing field I don't think an Avalanche type vehicle has any advantages unless someone would like the odd cargo arrangement.

Poor guy just needed to make sure his burn pile lit off properly after all the rain from Harvey.

I will neither confirm nor deny that I might have a friend who may have hauled 30 gallons of gas home from the station in those orange Home Depot buckets with lids. That was just before Hurricane Rita.

About 5 or 6 years ago when the Canadian dollar was stronger and US gas was in the 4 dollar a gallon range and gas in Canada was 5 to 6 dollars , I used to see certain ethnic Canadians on their way back to Canada from Costco in Bellingham WA with 4 five gallon gas cans strapped to one of those receiver hitch racks plus as many cans as they could fit inside the vehicle including the back seat with the kids. It was less than 20 miles to the border and Canada Customs apparently had no problem with bringing a potential bomb into the country. I was driving a dump truck on the road 5 or 6 trips a day and would see this on just about every trip.

Hit a good bump, and it'll flop out.. Hit the brakes hard (common here due to stupid people, deer and turkeys) and it could still smack that back glass.

Modern day El Camino, or a truck for a guy who's wife won't let him get a truck...

They couldn’t decide on whether to get a pickup or an SUV so ........ended up getting neither.
