My dad gave my his Avalanche when I was starting university and I kept it into my graduate years, selling it when it was 16 years old, for the full book value. My sister and I used it for car camping in the mountains, long before overlanding was term, or a thing lol. It was stupid reliable and was the best (non Toyota) 4x4 I have ever owned. I am buying one purely for nostalgia!
This thing has literally everything I need. quad cab for the family and dogs, full size (well, CAN become a full size) bed for hauling lumber/plywood, decent motor, 4wd. I'm kind of shocked that they killed it, it's insanely functional.
@@jmoore4156 You can purchase a range disabler for $200 and plug it into the computer port. Works like a charm in disabling AFM. I bought a 2007 Chevy Avalanche in 2011, went and bought a Range disabler in the same day and it is running smooth at 382,000 miles
I know this is a 7 year old video, but I'm thinking of getting a 1st generation avalanche, and thought it would be fun to get a RUclips channel walk around. I hope you're still doing these video's, because when I watched yours, I got much more than I bargained for. Your presentation style is second to none, and where most video"s brush over the features I am interested in, you gave me a detailed in depth how to look at the functionality; and although I've been researching these vehicles for a bit now, I learned a number of things I was not aware of. Typically I have to watch a number of folks videos to get the tidbits of information I'm looking for, but ypur video was a one stop shop where I got all my questions answered, and I now like this vintage vehicle even more. Thank you for taking time out to make this vehicle video, you really helped me out. I wish you the best with your channel and all your endevours. Best Regards, Michael
The mid-gate can be opened two different ways. The first way as shown in the video. The second way is you can leave the window in and just open the mid-gate. The locking mechanisms used to lock the window after it is pulled out also release the top portion of the mid-gate so that the window doesn't fall out when you open the gate. You can have the covers and window still on and crawl inside with a sleeping bag and still feel secure.
I've always been a Ford man and still very much am to this day, but I gotta give credit where it's due, The Avalanche is one of the most comfortable trucks I've ever been behind the wheel of. Closest thing I've felt to the way the old boats of the 70's road on the highway.
My favorite gauge cluster from the Chevrolet Tahoe,Suburban,Silverado,GMC Yukon SLT,SLE,Denali,and the Sierra Crew Cab, Extended Cab,SLE,SLT, and the Denali.
I love this generation of Avalanche, it had a rugged design for when you actually needed to use it as a truck with plentiful lining, nice big non-colored plastic bumpers for when you bump into something and not have to worry about paying a fortune to re-paint or damaged body panels unlike the so called "bumpers" we have now a days that don't do much.
This has been one of the most understandable and informational videos ive seen in general 🤷🏼♂️ And by far the the best one on yt in regards to the avalanche 🤷🏼♂️💪💪💯
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve owned my Avalanche for ~10 years and never knew how to open it up to make it a full size box until just now watching this video (I knew it could, just didn’t ever need too), lol! I will say, even now in 2020, the Avalanche is STILL hands down my most fav p/u I’ve ever owned and I fully intend to keep mine as long as I can. I just wish mine sounded as good as the one in this video. Great review...thanks!
very cool, and for the massive blind spots and backing that thing up, no need to worry the cladding is there to protect that beast. I have an 02 the same color and a Z71, love it!!
We love these trucks. We have a black 2002 Z71 Avalanche that has 120k miles on it. Still runs and looks great. Also had a sunset orange 2008 Avalanche. To top of the lust cars my daily driver is a 2011 Charger RT Max. Great vehicles. Keep up the good work kyle!
I also have a victory red 03 Avy, welcome to the club! Mine doesn't have the body cladding but came with the fender flares. 252,000 miles and still going strong!
You know I don't really like this vehicle as a TRUCK, but as a vehicle in general, this is a very practical and genius segment. People who have families and want the room and comfort of an suv, but with the functionality of a truck. It's a shame GM was the only company with a crossover truck, and now it's gone so people in the market for this type of vehicle will have to deal with crew cab full size trucks or just an SUV.
I love this generation of GM vehicles. Even though this generations yukon, tahoe, and escalades have identical interiors they still felt "truck like". The 2007 models and better share their interiors with their car counterparts, for instance the impala and tahoe ltz look identical inside. Overall another great review. Thanks Kyle.
This vid completely made up my mind about what vehicle to buy with my inheritance but I'm gonna get an '06 z71 its perfect I have with 3 kids and I will still get to have a big truck when I need one. Thanx saabkyle04, love the video
I always liked the Avalanche. My neighbor owns a 2006 Avalanche. Looks exactly like yours (except the exterior and interior colors) but has sunroof. Last year I traveled 200km (124mile) with my neighbor in his Avalanche and you're right, it has a smooth and comfortable ride (I can say that almost smooth as my 2010 Ford Explorer Limited)
I bought my 04 Z-66. All opps New,. w/o clad. I still have it. 5-2020. I've kept it like new w/ 152k. Runs great and fast and smooth ,. All dealer work. Stock. Except for 20" wheels. Witch the factory did up date , same over all tire size and does ride better ,. Stock exhaust sleeper fast for a big truck myn came with 295hp 330 ft lbs k&n air filter adds 7 ponys just over 300 up,. The factor air box is a cold air set-up. No need to change that , those after market filters that take air from under the hood suck hot air , not cool air , A/c is great my daughter calls it the meat locker , we live in AZ hotter than hell ,. This guy's truck is very nice ,.
My parents have an 03, we have driven it when 4 people 600+ miles for years, its a great vehicle. We had a problem with it when we first had it, and the dealership here eventually thought we were pulling there leg. Fortunately when we went on vacation in Michigan that dealership actually found the problem. The power when we first got it was off, the plant who assembled it gave it the wrong foot pedal, it had the dieasal foot pedal and not the regular unleaded pedal, which made the power of the engine suffer.
***** I was thinking that your older avalanche vids were very good but could be updated and this was just the ticket! Thank you so much for your amazing videos. My dad owns a 2002 chevy avalanche NORTH FACE EDITION that is just amazing! It has a lot of rust because of being in NY for a couple of years and it is very expensive to fix the rocker panels and the rear quarter panels. Watched your video about the north face one and that is a very nice paint color! really wish ours was the green, ours is just the black. Also, watched the sport trac one and I own one of those. Very good little trucks! I love the SUT (sport utility trucks). I have not seen a video on the Subaru baja from you yet (suggestion).There seems to be an issue with the mid gate and the covers that tends to leak. Do you have any issues with yours? Yours looked so nice that I doubt that you have any issue with water leakage. But thanks for you amazing videos!
Great job on the video, really well done. I have a nice 2005 1500 without the cladding, it is a little more plain but still performs great ;) I really like it.
Nice truck, I always thought the Avalanche was an ugly impractical truck due to the side panels and its small bed, but your video has made me see otherwise. Avalanche is now on my top list next the next time I need to buy a car lol.
i never liked the earlier avalanche's i don't like the plastic panels on the lower sides, but man this one is clean, it must be a challenge keeping all those cars spotless
my dad recently got one, its a 2005 with 230,000 miles and I absolutely love that truck!! such a nice truck to drive and so comfortable, it needs new shocks and a radio but other that that it's a perfect truck
Kyle you can replace that missing rubber stop inside your fuel door at any GM dealer. You can also order and replace the driver seat cushion cover (leather) and have any competent upholstery shop replace it (make sure to order it with the seat heater if yours is so equipped). What brand of brush guard do you have on your truck? Very nice! We ordered our '04 Chevy Avalanche in December of '03 and still enjoy driving this vehicle today. If you ever hear a popping sound when turning into a driveway, it's the body mounts. Your dealer can replace the offending one if you can isolate which area the sound is coming from. Hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours.
Probably my favorite vehicle on your channel, I own a silverado right now, but this will be my next purchase. Thanks for the constant videos. I would like to see more used cars. :)
Great video kyle! I have an 03 also, dark spiral grey metallic Z71. I absolutely love it, I have yet to find a vehicle as practical for every day use, and if you stay out of it they are surprisingly good on gas! I average over 20 mpg on the highway. I was surprised to see you get one but glad to see it! It must be good if you got one lol. Keep up the great work
I really love the look of the newer ones. I somewhat liked the look of these when they were new, but it never really grew on me. Can't deny it's versatility though.
I remember my grandpa wanted one of these Avalanches back in 2003-2004 about. I suppose he didn't buy one because the gas mileage was bad (he really wanted a F-250/F-350/Silverado HD/Ram HD but didn't like the cost despite the fact he could have anything he wanted). This one is in awesome shape, Kyle.
Too bad these types of vehicles aren't being made anymore, First the Ford Explorer Sport Trac, then the Avalanche & now the Honda Ridgeline. My dad drives a 2003 Sport Trac & it's a very cool design. Has almost 250k miles & still running strong!
I had an opportunity to buy the 2002 or 4 or back in the day but it did have to high mileage on it and wouldn't u know it my insurance says get a new vehicle because it's totaled and I found a 2013 diamond edition avalanche with something low mileage I wanted and got it.. it's a truck but also a suburban or suv I love it and it's got more bells and whistles than my old truck very awesome avalanche
what was this quote unquote high mileage? My 2003 has 291K miles still runs like new best car i've ever owned actually. You got the Diamond? I hope you hold onto it forever!!
Great review.....Does anyone know if the midgate on these older models can fold down without having to remove the rear glass? I know the newer Avalanche models can do it, just wasn't sure with these ones. Thanks
Yes. You do not have to take the glass out. If you just want to haul some wood or something you can leave the glass in and just flip the midgate and seats down. One thing that was left out of this otherwise superb video.
Please tell me someone knows the song he used to start his demonstration of the audio system, I want to hear this song and use it to test my rides system 18:20
I really love the avalanches really great part trucks and part suvs really sweet is it the same way for the 13 model avalanche that is so cool how u did the whole video at ur dad's dealership sweet and awsome video :)
Have a 2003 red avalanche 1500. did a bunch of after market things to it like rims, tint, HID headlights, LED light bar, touch screen head unit, sounds ext and I must say Ive had a dozen or so vehicles over the years and this is defiantly my favorite! So much so I sold it to a buddy two years ago and got a Scion Frs and actually bought the Avalanche back because I got tired of getting stuck in the snow in the winter lol. Only downside is the gas milage
Awesome review. I’m in the market for a mid 2000’s tow rig. I’ve been debating whether I should get another Trailblazer or a pickup, and then I took notice of the avalanche. Your review has me sold.
My dad gave my his Avalanche when I was starting university and I kept it into my graduate years, selling it when it was 16 years old, for the full book value. My sister and I used it for car camping in the mountains, long before overlanding was term, or a thing lol. It was stupid reliable and was the best (non Toyota) 4x4 I have ever owned. I am buying one purely for nostalgia!
Have you gotten around to buying one yet
I honestly never knew the Avalanche could do that pickup truck conversion thing...pretty cool!
Oh yeah, a lot of people don't, it's so versatile!
***** MAN I LOVE THE SOUND AT THE BEGINNING!
zachmamaw1 Yes sir!
*****
I remember watching the first commercial when this vehicle debuted in 2002. Got change for a dollar is what it was called and it was funny as well
This thing has literally everything I need. quad cab for the family and dogs, full size (well, CAN become a full size) bed for hauling lumber/plywood, decent motor, 4wd.
I'm kind of shocked that they killed it, it's insanely functional.
I feel the same way. They have good towing capacity too and they're cheap if you get older models.
Nowadays seems like they come out with new designs that are always worse. Just to get you to keep buying more vehicles
Lynn Mckenney I love mine so much
Sales numbers started to decline in the avalanche's last few years of production
@@carwhiz90 Weren't they fairly expensive when they came out? Might have had something to do with it
I used to hate this truck, but over the past few years I've learned to like it. One of those vehicles that grows on you.
Always wanted one of these since seeing it in a truck magazine while in math class in high school.
get one!
5.3 vortec engines is one of best GM engines built they can reach 300k to 400k if maintained
Ali Saleh What about 8.1?
My father have a 2006 GMC Suburban with 500k kilometres but it have a 6.0 liter engine and it's very reliable😍
Nawaf Dhaher so 300K miles
This is definitely the generation of GM Vortecs to get, because they didn't have that AFM tech which is notoriously bad on all their V8s.

Man..... I've been waiting 11 years for this review, now I have decided... I WANT ONE...!
Watched this video with my cup of coffee. Great way to start my morning! Thanks Kyle!
Thanks for watching!! :)

Try doing a 2008 Taurus x

This is the best, most extensive video I have found on the Avalanche
My favorite gauge cluster from the Chevrolet Tahoe,Suburban,Silverado,GMC Yukon SLT,SLE,Denali,and the Sierra Crew Cab, Extended Cab,SLE,SLT, and the Denali.
I honestly don’t see the hate for these trucks at all because they are actually pretty good for the money
I just bought an old Chevrolet Avalanche 2004. And I have a lot to do! Good luck with everything! Greetings from Russia! Thanks
imported from USA? How much and how many miles?
I love this generation of Avalanche, it had a rugged design for when you actually needed to use it as a truck with plentiful lining, nice big non-colored plastic bumpers for when you bump into something and not have to worry about paying a fortune to re-paint or damaged body panels unlike the so called "bumpers" we have now a days that don't do much.
P😊
what a gorgeous avalanche you got. man you let me feel so bad about mine it ran almost 500k but I still in love with it
Are they really that good!?
Brian Avila yes, yes they are
This has been one of the most understandable and informational videos ive seen in general 🤷🏼♂️
And by far the the best one on yt in regards to the avalanche 🤷🏼♂️💪💪💯
It's nice to see he has started reviewing the old cars like he used to. Brilliant video as usual Kyle. Keep up the good work.
Really nice looking truck for an 2003..
Just got me a 2003, really helped i had no ideal how to take out the rear panels & how to do the window.
Great info!!!
I know this comment is 3 years old, but how do you like your 2003 Avalanche?! I'm looking to get one
@@BannedPhotoshop get one. It really is good.
Ya boi just picked up an 04 base avalanche and i love it more than anything I've ever owned
This old Chevrolet truck is badass this truck is for me when I get to high school.

I love those triangle shaped things on the Avalanche they are so awesome.
My 05 is still going strong with about 180k . Love the weirdness of it . Also love pulling out f150s in the snow haha.
You'll love this. I had to tow an F-150 4wd up a hill while rockhounding in Oregon....with my Xterra lmfao. Pathetic.
I'm surprised how clean this car is. Most of the Avalanches that I see on the road today are scratched up, dirty, or have beaten up interiors.
we have one at the shop i work at as a work truck and yeah that thing looks nothing like this and its the same color and year. lol
lol that's because somebody took care of this one..and then the plastic was 'restored' sometime recently.
I love that your reviews are getting more and more thoroughly, and that you are reviewing all sort of cars, not only new and fancy ones!
Always keep the variety up and trying to make the videos better :)
Great Truck! My dad just got one!! Keep it up, man!
Brock
Thanks Brock, hope all is well on your end!
Brock Frady you still rocking that Onyx?
***** Going well. Need to grab lunch. I'd LOVE to hear all about Gumball...
Great review brother - looking at one used with 106k on it now!!! Glad I watched this, very helpful!
very cool, and for the massive blind spots and backing that thing up, no need to worry the cladding is there to protect that beast. I have an 02 the same color and a Z71, love it!!

Hmm this truck is surprisingly well-equipped for an '03 GM product. Well, anyway, it's great to see you back in the office, Kyle!

My dream truck is a Ram SRT-10. But this is definitely number 2 on my list. Oddly intriguing
What a sweet ride. Just got my 2003 a month ago. So far I love it.
I kind of call it the perfect "city truck" easy to drive around and yet not hard to park.
And not gonna haul much plywood anyway.
How is your 2003 Avalanche Fred? I have a n 03 Z66 Sunset Orange 130,000 miles
A lot of after market goodies under the hood! Great vid Kyle and great car!
BTW the exhaust sounds like straight pipe lol
Love the truck man! I got an 05 LT Z71 and got 99k on and loving every mile on it!
Best of luck with the truck man! it will not let you down!
always loved these! would be my favorite "dream" truck to own if i could
This old Chevrolet truck is handy dandy and cool.
The chevy avalanche is amazing

You really do the BEST job on your vids!! I always love to watch them!
What a sound !! 5.3L V8 Daaang
Great review Kyle
We love you bro !
Thanks man!
looking forward to getting me an Avalanche. this video just sealed the deal.
My first vehicle is the 05 model and I love it
It looks stunning! The seats look similar to my dad's Jeep WJ Ltd, except for the armrests.
Just got a z66
Please tell me someone knows the song he used to start his demonstration of the audio system, I want to hear this song and use it to test my rides system 18:20
That was THE single best intro. I’m OCD, this satisfies that
I really love the avalanches really great part trucks and part suvs really sweet is it the same way for the 13 model avalanche that is so cool how u did the whole video at ur dad's dealership sweet and awsome video :)
Finally got mine and I love it!! Great video
Very detailed and informative video!!
Have a 2003 red avalanche 1500. did a bunch of after market things to it like rims, tint, HID headlights, LED light bar, touch screen head unit, sounds ext and I must say Ive had a dozen or so vehicles over the years and this is defiantly my favorite! So much so I sold it to a buddy two years ago and got a Scion Frs and actually bought the Avalanche back because I got tired of getting stuck in the snow in the winter lol. Only downside is the gas milage
Justin m 2009 and up is way better
Stepdad has an 04 Avalanche. I recently found out it has the removable back window like you demonstrated.
Great vehicle.A friend of mine imported one from the US to Germany.It really fills a gap.I wish they would bring it on the german market too.
Phenomenal Review! Very informative, I’m looking to buy an 03 tomorrow. You have me sold. Thank you.
This thing is MINT, Kyle. Nice!
This is honestly a pretty cool design.
Awesome review. I’m in the market for a mid 2000’s tow rig. I’ve been debating whether I should get another Trailblazer or a pickup, and then I took notice of the avalanche. Your review has me sold.
Its a absolute beast with the 8.1L though
The exhaust on there is everything.
