Hi I might be trading my k2500 suburban with 110k. 6.0. 3.73 4l80 7600lb capacity 2305lbs payload
For
a 2002 8.1 k2500 Avalanche bone stock, new tires 89k 3.73 4l80 11900lb capacity 2000lbs payload
I currently suffer 10 mpg and shoddy tow capacity
I figure dump it for big block 10mpg and increased tow capacity, 5.2 ft bed for a quad.
It's my 3rd vehicle dedicated tow.
I desire to take my quad and htt for solo hunting trips in the adirondacks and northern PA.
I can take a friend for my kids but that's a limited once or twice per season in the sub.
The Avalanche would be my hunting buddy, firewood hauler, family of 4 plus dog tv, boat tow Vehicle, and emergency use.
Am I nuts?
WOW.....didn't think Avalanche's were that tough. Can you really fit a quad in the back? I know it is pickup truck bedish but I thought it was a little narrower and how deep is the bed? Would you have to have the tailgate down with the quad in it? If so how does that affect towing the trailer?

I would need the tailgate down. Inner width of 5ft 2" Ava bed: 48". Width of quad: 47.2". Weight of quad: 636lb
Wheel base of quad: 49"
Tongue wt of my htt: 650
Total wt: 1311 + 100lb wdh.
Ava payload: 2000lb -1411: 589lb passengers. 👎
I would tow with quad solo < 10% of 40 nights 1 or two trips with family.
