The pictured Baja has an EJ255. The choice is easy, especially if 18g turbochargers are available in this hell. 😀
VehiCROSS.
My brother had one and they are actually very stout little vehicles. Full frame could take a serious beating.
An Avalanche isn't just a vehicle I'd "take"...it's a vehicle I really want to have. The refresh is certainly a lot nicer than the 1st generation, but even then the decladed 1st gen are not horrible looking vehicles. Plus they drive great and have a huge amount of utility to them.
Honestly, the current ones in black are one of the best looking truck'ish things on the road.

I believe it's the same platform as the Silverado.
