They didn't make an orange Avalanche in 2004 when I got mine!
You did mean tow "rig" ? (although tow pig as in gas consumption would be accurate)

Mine is very quiet. My other car is the new style Acura TL and I think this Avalanche is a quieter ride.
It's got the Bridgestone Duellers which seem to be quiet.
I drove it to work today, which is mostly higway, and I've found I'm developing a bad habit of watching the instant fuel mileage guage, which also shows when it's in 4 banger mode.

I have 20" Duellers as well. The tires are quiet but the wind noise coming in the doors is horrible. I was about ready to take it back thinking a seal was bad but I have two friend with them and they do it too. Kind of annoying.

I think I'd take it back.
I've got 500+ miles on mine so far, and it's been very quiet. I been 80+ and haven't noticed anything. I'll pay more attention tonight on my way home and report back tomorrow.

Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the dealer installed the vent visors on mine, which may help a little bit of noise around the windows.
