Very nice truck. The body itself is nicer than that of the older versions. The pro about it is that it's awsome for going off roading or even just a night in the town... the cons... they have tie rods on the front end suspension, so when towing there's a good chance of the tie rod breaking or bending. Another thing, gas and price tag. Cost me 75 just to fill 'er half way, and the price tag is almost 45 to 50 grand depending on options installed.

If you need a do it all truck/auto this is for you. At first I found the fuel mileage to be a bit bad, but that was brfore I took out the Honda Ridgeline, I got about 22MPG in this, but the Ridgeline (also known here as the Knock-off) avg 18MPG. This truck had a full 4x4 system, menaing unlike the ridgeline I can go int 4x4 low, The Avalanche also out tows/hauls the honda also, now some will say that this truck and the knock-off are in two different catagorys, but according the the Honda rep, it can compete with it!!! I don't understand that but he was the one to say it. Anyway, I found this to handle well for its size and the few hours That I had it, I was comfortable and it truck accerated great. If it needed a truck I can haul the family around as well as tow/haul a payload this would be the one for me. There are two downfalls of this truck for me, I cant tow a 5th wheel and Mileage, but with that being said the Avalanche still got better mileage than the Ridgeline (Honda Knock-off).

I was a good suv/truck that iwantto buy.
