My nickname for the Aval**che is the "tupperware truck"

"Tupperware" may just be a term we can use to describe some of Ford's new vehicles too. Have you seen the 2003 Expedition? Plastic cladding down the sides- just not quite as much as the Avalanche.

Where did these guys come up with "the more plastic cladding we can fit on one vehicle the better" ?
All these guys are 20 something pot smoking yups, who play with clay all day. " Hey Frank, look at this lump of clay that I made almost look like a vehicle"..jeez Joe, do ya think people will like it?"
"Well Frank, who cares, we get paid and if we tell them in a neat commercial how COOOL it is they'll buy em!!
Im telling you they got their heads up their arrssess.
Hey just my opinion (kinda like a arrss) everybody's got one.
BTW ....No, I dont write for a tv sitcom.......yet:-staun

4x4 shift on the fly option?
Well i'll give you my honest opinion.shift on thr fly was made for the yuppies who dont feel like getting their leather wing tipped shoes wet.I myself would rather get out of the vehicle and lock the hubs manually.aint no lower feeling than when the electric shift decides its not going to function properly when theres a foot or two of snow on the ground.i truly would like to see them do away with automatic locking hubs too because i know from personal experience that sometimes they dont want to engage.Happened to me last year with my 96 f-150 and i wound up getting rid of them for a set of manually locking hubs,now i wouldnt have it any other way.May take an extra 15 seconds to get out and turn the hubs but at least i know i'll have 4 wheel drive when im done.So to all the yuppies out there ,stick to your beamers.

Sorry, never owned a beamer. Only had pickups since 1974
All but 2 were 4x4 and only 2 of the 4x4's were auto hubs. With your philosophy we'd still be using computers with 250 megs of hard drive and 33 mhz processors
, like the one I still have stuck up in my closet. I'll "yuppyize" my ESOF..thank you very much:-X12

I really have eaten those critters. Possom is too "greasy" for my delicate yuppie stomach.
Raccoon is my favorite. Grandma would make coon & dumplings that were absolutely delicious. Her coon burgers weren't too bad either.
Of course you better have a manual-hubbed 4x4 if you plan on running the traps. ESOF just won't get you there & back.
