Clean Title — I have enjoed this truck for more than 8 years now and have no complains about it, runs great and it is very comfortable for both, as a cargo truck or a family car. My wife loves it. The sound system is excellent

Pros

Great looks, versitile vehicle, great for using as a truck when you need it, or a family vacation hauler. Pulls my car trailer with ease. 5300 is a great engine/

Cons

Rear cargo covers are only water resistant, not water tight. Plastic parts should have been painted like the Escallade. Fuel penalty for such a big vehicle, but it's not too bad.

Great Vehicle For Long Family Trips, Great Wrok & Family Vehicle In One. — The Avalanche fits the bill very well. A great road trip vehicle and a good work truck when needed. Very comfortable. Not quite as long as an extended cab PU, and much shorter than a four door PU, but has more useable box space with the midgate down. I have driven this vehicle to Florida 3 X and never get tired driving it, very comfortable.

2004 Chevy Avalanche 2500 — We use this as a commuter and in the winter it gets used as a plow truck as well. It is a very large vehicle and it feels like it to, especially when driving around town it feels like the large truck it is.

Awesome — I really like this truck. It is great. You get a pickup and a SUV at the same time. Gas is crazy expense where I live. So that is the only downfall. When we go camping everything is in the back. It is totally covered whether rain or shine. I love the seat recall and the seat warmers. The tailgate light is super awesome also.

Great Truck For A Great Price — This truck drives great it tows our ski boat with ease and it looks good too. I feel extremely safe driving the truck and it handles with ease. This is an all around great looking and fun vehicle to drive and own.

2004 Southern Comfort Edition Chevy Avalanche — I love this truck, very dependable and looks good!! This has been a very good vehicle and it has low mileage. This truck has had only one original owner and has been very well taken care of. Must see to appreciate.

Love My Avalanche — A solid Chevy truck with unique twists. Store things in the "saddlebags," convert the midgate for more cargo room, bench seat allows me to take the whole family out for fun. Great support websites to find answers to almost any problem, issue, or upgrade.

Good Truck, Not The Most Ideal "first Car" Considering How Much Gas It Eats Up But All In All Great — It is a nice truck, but there are many things I find were lacking in the quality and performance areas. The engine on doubt is weak, fun to drive but still weak. Brakes, tend to need a little extra push out on the drivers part to get the truck into a full stop. The liftoff and 0 to 40 acceleration is very poor when considering the amount of gas you guzzle by pushing the peddle past 45 degrees. Interior and exterior very customizable, can truly make it unique in every way which no doubt is awesome.
