Greetings from Calgary Canada. New 2024 avalanche grey 801a owner as of last Friday.

Picture from 3 days ago before the mods - we now have snow Picture of the rockies and the truck in action forthcoming:

(Retrax pro XR w/ Yamima rails and Kuat Grip 6 ski rack, Hakkapelitta LT3's, as well Opti-Coat Pro+7 / Steck DYNOShield PPF)

100% recreation, not for work or hauling. Usage: daily driver (albeit work from home) ski hill, backcountry, hiking, kayaking, camping, and of course aprés - probably put some sort of over landing setup on in the spring. Thrilled that it fits in the garage. I came from a sprinter van and was always worried about it sitting outside (hail, vandalism, etc).

I can honestly say I've never driven a better vehicle in my life before. I am in awe.

morning..........

when adding mods in spring, dont forget the maple syrup, or canadian bacon. i hear burnt bacon can work as traction boards and maple syrup can help keep your tires stuck to the ground

Funny how hail won't even touch a Sprinter van

Welcome.

Honestly, Raptors are the best all around vehicle out there and a hoot to drive off road. Comfy for travel, throw the kids in there no problem. Haul a boat (albeit not for heavy towing).

I've loved my 18 for the 7 years I've had it. Keeping it, and picked up a Maverick hybrid for daily duties. Also a fantastic vehicle for what it is and the price point.
