Used 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche for Sale near Chicago, IL

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.

Very versatile and comfortable (many luxury items). Chevy in their infinite wisdom decided to use subpar steel and these cars are very prone to rust (not just fenders but frames, brake, BRAKE LINES!!). Very reliable engines, weak transmissions and way undersized brakes. These problems are possibly only GEN 1 (2002-2006) issues as I have not owned or even driven the GEN 2 (2007-2013). You would have to look at a crew cab LB truck to get somewhat near the functionality. Gas milage sucks as does many of its piers from that age. This improves in the latest gen. Not sure why Chevy decided to end this great design.

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.
