POLL: Avalanche or F350?

[Supergumby5000 5,000+ posts]

I've got the new project bug again, but i think i wanna mix it up quite a bit....

...Thinking about swapping rides with my mom for a while, my 02 avalanche for her 03 f350.

She's tired of driving it because its so big, and she loves my truck.

Avalanche: 5.3L v8, ide return to stock (except i think she wants the navigation unit), 87000 miles.

F350: loaded, lariat, diesel, 4 door, 127k miles.

Opinions? i think ima do it, just to have something new to play with.

I like Avalanches but F350's are sick.

Guess also it would depend on if you would ever have a need for a giant *** truck

If she would rather have the Avalanche, do it for your mom and trade for the f350. Make sure she doesn't curb your wheels up though lol. take the U2s off.

whenever i am home, i borrow the truck for things because i have no bed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif, taking it snowboarding on monday actually.

This is what the truck looks like, same color and everything, except ours has window guard/visor things and a diamondplate Husky truck box in the back....

everyone knows what the avy looks like, just picture it without the big stereo and stock rims.

if i got the truck, ide put a leveling kit or a 4" lift on it, nothing too big, probably a center console sub in the front, not sure about the rest of the stereo...

wheels are off for the winter, and if we trade, they wont be going back on. She would dominate them

I owned a 350z for about 1 year and after taht a tahoe for 3. I'm so glad I have a truck back now, crazy how it seems as soon as you don't have one you need the bed all the time.

Go with the Ford mang. Put the 4" lift on it and be done with it. Sounds like it will be a pretty sick truck and also last forever...or until you get the new car bug

I'd give my right nut for a new F-350 dually. Seriously.

the only two downsides to the f350 are it has two dents: one little one on the rear bumper (you wouldnt see it if someone didnt show you), and a small dent on the hood (little bro did it with a golf ball).

That, and my mom is a smoker. I cant smell it when i drive the truck (i hate that shit), but im worried my truck might smell like it after a while due to the interior being cloth. err, its a vinyl material actually, but that isnt a resistant surface like leather

the f350 is a FAR BETTER truck than the avy ever could be. i just wish i could have got the f250 i was looking at. the place i was going to buy from was screwing around though and i wasnt about to give them my cash.

to get rid of smoker smell, clam bake it with incense for a decent amount of time, may take a few days
