A couple of years ago, I traded our 2004 Kia Sorrento for a new 2011 Kia Sorrento. The '04 was a 6 cylinder but when I bought the 2011, you had to go with a much more expensive package to get the 6 cylinder so we settled for the 4. It was fine for the most part but I bought a small fishing boat a while back and even though it's only a 16 1/2 ft. deep V aluminum boat, it gave the little Kia a hard time.
So....I decided to upgrade the Kia so something with a little more pulling power. Believe it or not, gas mileage is close to the same when not pulling anything and this actually gets much better gas mileage when towing.
So....here is my new toy. Avalanche LT, 5.3 V8, AWD, all the bells and whistles except for leather interior. Bought it used though. One owner, GM certified, new tires and etc. I think we are going to really like it.
