I purchased my first avalanche in 04 never had to repair anything under the hood in 124k mi...loved it so much i traded it for the 09 avalanche LTZ and enjoying it everyday....great truck!
Kinda wish Chevy brought back the avalanche would of love to see a 3rd gen oh well maybe they will one day. I love this truck
I just bought an old Chevrolet Avalanche 2004. And I have a lot to do! Good luck with everything! Greetings from Russia!
Got a 2010 it’s Black on Black very sharp and it rides and drives like a caddie. Love it.
My 2008 Avalanche is priceless. Even guys with new trucks and all the "innovation" complement my old truck looks and performance.
Zen Viking A friend bought a 2019 GMC pickup and he still likes my 2010 Avalanche it rides and drives better.
I own 5 of the chevy avalanches 03/04/05/07/12 I love them and after you fix all the issues on them there great 👍
I just wish they made the midgate 60/40 as well and you could just fold down part of the midgate you wanted, unless you latched the glass in of course. That way if you leave the window up and just want to lay the 40% side of the midgate down, or just the 60% side down and still have a passenger or 2 in the back while hauling something...you could.
i love this car, is very very very and very very beautiful and very powered.!
I would take this over the Silverado and I think the avalanche is a better looking truck too on the outside.
beautiful truck
when he says its quite inside and just turns away
made me lmao
Never leave it on auto 4wd if set to auto and 4wd kicks in when it's not needed not only does your fuel usage go up but your wearing on the transfer case and auto diff locks. This will happen no matter what in auto when braking down hill. Only use auto when the road is wet / slippery, like gravel. But really you only need 4wd or 2wd in the avalanche or any truck. Either you need traction or you don't. Also you shouldn't go faster than 55mph while 4wd is on.(check with your dealer/owners manual) I've seen a number of trucks require repair because the owner didn't know enough about the 4wd and set it to auto thinking it will work when I need it only to have a spendy repair after 35-50k miles. The 4wd is capable of lasting the life of the truck if cared for correctly.
MrBlueJK4 Correct - a - mondo.
I really like this car...it is very useful. I dont think I will use the cargo bed to put long items very often, since I wouldnt use it as a work vehicle, but as my personal use and weekend trip vehicle.
NICE TRUCK THE BEST
@backintack My Dad has a 2006 Avalanche, and he had the dealer put some sort of liquid coating on the plastic to keep it looking new. About 5 years later and he still has it, and the plastic cladding still looks great.
gotta get me one of those
I have 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche z71. It’s so amazing and spacious
Majo John maintenance?
I have owned tahoes ans suburbans and a 1971 Carry All . I think my 2012 chevy avalanche is great . Bought it one owner used with 29000 miles just after they announced that chevy was cancelling it. Got it for a good price . Love it Should have bought two. One must is the backup camera . Have 100 k on it . When I hit 250,000 plan on new crate motor and trans .............
@backintack I think they solved that problem in the later models. Zebra striping was a big issue with these trucks.
Love my o3
@proxima For your information, whenever you are carrying long items like wood boards, you must tight them and secure them. What happened to your friend would happen in any regular pick up truck. If the item remains in a position where it can move (like when the wood board is too long to fit the cargo bed and you have to let it lay on the frame behind the cab rear window) you must secure it, because if you get hit behind, that board will airborn and fall over someone else, you see?
I have an 03 2500 avalanche love my avy.
@RCT3vaughn0055 Can you remove the plastic cap from the flatbed?
@saywhatmachine with the bed cover on and rear window up, it's weather tight.
@sedag100 yes in three pieces and comes with a bag and a place on the back side to attach them too,
wouldnt it get a bit chilly if you're using the extended bed in the winter?
It holds tight in curves too
Hey I'm considering this truck and was wondering if the rear blind spots are a huge problem...I would be driving this to school so the drivers aren't all that great...also how are repairs it it's all one body? Is I get hit it the area of what would be the quarter panel how is it fixed?
So, the Chevy avalanche can also come with a rear seat entertainment system?
What did they put on it?
@saywhatmachine with out the window,yes,,turn the heater on max
wouldnt the plastic fade over time?
BTW, this truck should not be compared with a heavy duty truck like the F-150. This is just a large SUV with some Truck capabilities, for fun and light work use. When the cargo bed is extended by opening the midgate, it just for few long items, not a pile of 2x4 wood boards. Just playwood or dry wall sheets, nothing above the top line that is after folding the rear seats, behind the driver/front passenger seats. Off course, everything in the cargo area must be secured.
since they where first manufactured
what year did the avalanche start having the extended cab,where the whole panel folds down?making room for a couch or something huge?
The first year: 2003
Every year
The AWD system does NOT send power to the wheels when thei slip,it sends power to the oposite wheel or wheels.
I wonder is something heavy is in the back and you crash, would it just kill everyone inside?
...yes
I wonder if you didnt wear your seat belt would you die ? 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Optional rearview camera? That should have been standard
My gf wants me to sell my 2008 avalanche ltz
I will not be a part of that
That's why you don't use it that way, smart guy. lol
This truck is like a swiss-army knife in a truck; wish I have $50k for one.
Lmfao
They like 5k Now
this or the honda ridge line?
Men i remeber like 3 months ago, i went to the chevrolet dealership, i was gong to get an avalanche but the guy came back and told me i had horrible credit and i needed $2,500 down payment, hell i didn't have that kind of money right know so i left crying, i try to hold it in but i couldn't.
It doesn't, it is well insulated. :)
That's why you strap your loads down to be safe
I love my 07 and it does keep stuff dry in the back. I have 5.3L and right now over 300,000 kms and still going strong!!👍👍
@14lessthan1 this is for more of a family car, not a work truck
lol never knew that u could take the whole back and window out
Shame GMC didn’t make their Avalanche.
@ggm888 u just made me depressed. cause i will never have enough money to own one of these.
Waterproof bed??? LOL
Yes waterproof at least in two of mine avalanches
Mine leaks
My 2008 Avy has a dry bed with no leaks, even in a hurricane it don't leak.
Yeah..mine is water proof
The active fuel management on the avalanche was a horrible idea because they all fail and cause major issues costing the owner up in the thousands to repair. Best Solution if this ever happens to anyone with a Chevy avalanche that has flex fuel and active fuel management you will know as as number 6 or number 3 cylinder will stop working you can do a delete DOD of the act of fuel management you will think that your transmission is going because it will hardshift as well I'm after doing 9 delete from multiple people multiple people they love the way it performs after the fact and they no longer have that issue It most certainly should have been a recall
the truck would look better with a longer bed, regardless of the fold down seats, it just looks funny
No u
SUBURBAN SUT!!
like my cousin told me its a man van
Someone please tell me how a uni- body (no frame) Honda ridgeline is classified as a truck. What a joke !!!!!
No u
