Chevy trucks in Norway
« on: June 14, 2016, 01:58:09 pm »
Went for a weekend break in Norway a few weeks ago. I've been to Scandinavia a few times, and American cars are quite popular over there, but this particular area (between Alesund and Kristiansund) seems to be heaving with late '90s Suburbans! Norway also has the highest amount of Tesla model S' per capita, so a very strange combination.

Spotted this dually, I couldn't resist a photo-

That's neat, I'd have to take a photo too. They're a nice looking pair of trucks too.

The dually is even a 4x4. A cool factor of infinity.

Ah, how can you tell? Is that a locking hub I spy at the front? I wasn't 100% sure. I didn't want to walk up the driveway to look at the front axle...

Yeah it is a locking hub. The front sets higher than does a 4x2 as well.

You might have spied one of my cousin's trucks.  She has a Diesel Chevy Blazer!  My family is from the Kristiansund area and I also have some cousins in Alesund and Molde.
