A nice looking model of the Avalanche from Matchbox - like the white over grey color, the Goodyear rubber and the front and rear light treatment! Makes for a good looking pickup to tool around toy car town in.

In the first pic, the plastic mixed in with the white roof gives a pixalated look! |

I don't really care for trucks. Having said that, the Avalanche, with it's "Midgate" is definitely an innovator. I remember the magazine ads when the first introduced the model without the cladding. They showed one of each style with the caption of "Buff... Or In The Buff"! |

Nice casting. I always called the real vehicle a dumpster on wheels when they first debuted. I've grown to like them now. |

I really enjoy the plastic pieces actually being plastic on the Matchbox model. This one could be a lot higher on my favorites list, if Matchbox had made it just a bit larger. |

I agree - if it were close to 1/64 scale, it would be a favorite for me. Still, I may have to hunt down one of these - or build up one. When I'm not in the semi, I drive a loaded '04 Bright Blue Metallic slick-side with 20" wheels; we've had it a year, and we really like it.
