But the Chevy looks more flexible for different uses. Good to have choices! You are up next, Dodge. Watcha got?

Right. Good is theory but it’s nothing actual truck users want. What does in the bed of your average truck that isn’t driven exclusively for the mall crowd? Tools, Motorbikes, ATVs, camping gear, landscaping materials etc. All the #### you absolutely don’t want all over the interior of your $80k interior.
And who doesn’t love multiple failure points and ####ing around with movable windows and panels? The original avalanche dwindled to measly sales at the end of its life for a reason. Like so many things, cool concept and oh so practical. Then you learn that for the 4 times a year you might want to carry 8’ of lumber, you’ll just stick it out the back and there’s no way in hell John is using the interior space of your truck to haul his quad home.
