It's a versatile proven workhorse of a truck, rides like an SUV and carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Seats five very comfortably with plenty of power around town, or highway speeds. I can't believe that Chevrolet stopped making them!

I love the functionality of this truck! Great off-road performer given its comfortable street ride. Tons of great features, like the built-in tool boxes in the bed, and the bed that can extend into the cab by pulling out the back glass and folding down the back seats. The standard 3 piece bed cover is great for hauling stuff you want to keep out of the elements. I added a 6in. suspension lift and 35" tires, and it changed the whole look of the truck!

Painted Midnight Blue metallic with the light grey cladding. Power sunroof, XM radio, deluxe audio, grey leather. Deluxe everything, heated power seats, and power mirrors. The Z71 model with AWD, 4W lo, 4W hi. Best darn truck I ever owned.

The avalanche is a great truck that has been very reliable for me. I wish it would get better gas mileage. I would buy another if the mileage improved. The ride and handling are great! Great in the Colorado snow and ice.

Ride- is great the wife and I like the toys it has. She says it rides smooth like a full size car, but with the vision of a truck. The extra rear doors make it easier to put in a child's car seat. I personally like the idea of having the panels to cover the box and I can fold down the rear seat for extra length and keep out natures elements. I spoke to a few owners and the major problem is the compass/temp interior mirror doesn't work have you priced one?... about $300. Cdn. and non existent at the car recycler only repairs was tires,brakes and a u-joint(rear rear).. If that was the worst, I can live with it,the mileage in town w/the 5.3 is 14.7 mpg. which I'm happy with, I didn't expect it to be that great. Hwy mpg. haven't checked yet. Fantastic to drive and turns a lot of heads. By the way I'm a second owner.
