Hey Brian thanks for the discount from Manscape. I am a newbie to this and still trying to get use to but love the I feel.
I have a '09.... and hate to get rid of it...but I would for this one...
Yes I definitely would
Yes,with a 6.2 and 4×4 package with the fuel efficiency for hwy.thx
I would buy the shit outta one... I've owned 3...07, 09, n a 10.. great running trucks.. all I hope for is a roomer back set.
When I heard Chevy was dropping the Avalanche, I traded in my ‘10 Avalanche for a ‘13 Black Diamond vintage. It’s still my primary driver, and the Avalanche remains my favorite vehicle of all the vehicles I’ve owned. You said it: it my rolling Swiss Army knife. I have long advocated/lamented that GM erred by discontinuing the model, and that they should bring it back. If they build it, I would buy it.
Yeah I have an 04 with over 400,000 miles and it has yet to fail me. I don’t see why a lot of ppl hate it. It does wonders.
@@drj1847 exactly I just don’t get why so much hate… I love every part of it… Chevy has yet to fail me…
You probably got your new one by now.🤗
@@evelynad445 New one what? The Avalanche is no longer made. My 2013 Avalanche is still rolling along just fine. And since a new well appointed pick-up costs between $60-$80 g’s, my Avalanche will be on the road for many years to come.
@@mikehartmann5187 I saw a new 2023 Chevy avalanche on the internet.
Hell Yes! I would definitely buy one - especially if they offered a top of the line High Country edition. Sell it brother…
Thanks for watching Ron! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Nope. Never appealed to me.. rather have a Silverado
Man are you reading my mind
@@thomasking3359 I have a Silverado now only because I couldn't get an Avalanche. With a bed cover, the dry bed length is only 70 inches. I'll go back if they become available. That 100 inch long dry bed was a lot to give up!
@@diverbob8 same here! I had a 2009 Avalanche and a 2012, both were LTZ trim and purchased brand new. Now I'm stuck with my 2021 LTZ/Z71 Silverado only because the Avalanche was no longer available.
I'd love to see Chevy come out with a new Avalanche. I still have my 2003 I purchased new and have yet to find anything I like enough to replace it. I even prefer the look of the 1st gen Avalanche. Don't over-complicate the new design...and offer the cladding as an option. It's not hard to keep it looking nice, even when it is not garaged. Thanks for the video.
Original 03 Avy owner sans cladding. Still love it!
Same here 2003 Avalanche less than 200.000 miles on it. Love it 8.1
I have a 2002 Avalanche that i love and it's still running good.
@@joannebaker7324 They are really solid trucks...happy to see you're still enjoying yours. :)
That’s right avalanche nation got a 07 z71 will not trade it for nothing classy American power and now close to being classics Ava up
I traded my 2018 Colorado for a 2009 Avalanche and No Regrets. By far the best vehicle I have ever owned. I think a new Avalanche is probably the only vehicle I would be willing to purchase new. After living with an avalanche it would be very hard to switch to anything else
I had two of them, a 2007 LT and a 2008 LTZ, love both of them, I have asked a few dealerships if they knew when and if this vehicle would be brought back, happy to here that it may make a come back, and hell yes I would buy one.
I'd 100% buy one if Chevy came back out with it again. My grandfather had a 2007 LTZ and I absolutely LOVED that thing. Great riding vehicle with the utility of a pickup truck. I hope GM is watching! Avalanche w/ 3.0L Diesel and GM can take my money.
I have a 2003 Avalanche, with all plastic trims, but painted, I just raised it 3 inches and am painting it with raptor liner. It is the best vehicle I have ever owned, IMO GM has never done anything better than the Avalanche. It is a vehicle full of memories that will be with me until the end of my days, God willing!
Yes I own a 2005 and love love love my truck she is still running, daily driver for the last 5 years. No check engine light, just good good quality
My 2002 avalanche “Ava” has never ceased to amaze me although gas can be expensive, she’s been great on the road and snow in the winter. So yes I’d buy one right off the lot if it were to come into production. #Teamavalanche
Seems like everyone loves their Avalanche!
I named mine Ava also.
My 04 Avalanche 5.3 has over 377 K miles, always used Mobile 1.. 10 w 30 Extended millage. Changed oil every 5000-6000 miles. Still runs as strong as the day I bought it new.
That's what I like to hear.
@@ramiel6229
I wouldn't trade my Avo for a brand new Ford F-250 4x4. Mine is the Avalanche SS, it cost $52K when new, it says "Use 92 Premium Gas Only" on the gas gauge and filler cover.
I use non ethanol premium with Lucas octane boosters, my gas is around 95 octane.
My tank holds 37 gallons, it ordered through Southern Coach, they put a 103 mm Corvette throttle body on my engine. It gets terrible gas millage.11-13 mpg. My only complaint.
Mine has almost 200k mi on it same thing. Engine is great. Electrical may be something that will be causing issues down the road. The fuel pump module was replaced twice already just in last 7 years. The way they put it right under the chassis behind front wheel where salty winter water sits is mind boggling.
@@ricktaylor3748 Avalanche was never produced in SS.
@@OscarHanzely I must be hallucinating. Mine has SS headrest, SS emblems on the tailgate and doors. I bought it new at Jeff Gordon Chevrolet, in Wilmington N.C.
There was an Avalanche SS on eBay several months ago, it sold for $10,360. Always use OEM, AC Delco parts. You'll have problems with aftermarket junk.
Cover your fuel module with the bottom of a small milk jug, bend the edge's down, and use stainless self taping screws to hold it in place. Undercoating it wouldn't hurt.
I had one of each generation that I LOVED. They were both the best vehicles that I have ever owned. I would buy the next generation today if it was available. My current Silverado is ok...but does not live up to what the Avalanche delivered....the ride difference is at the top of my comparison list!
I had a 2005 and I loved that truck! kept her for 11 years. She had just over 104,000 miles on her when things just started going bad on her so we decided to trade her in for a traverse. I missed that old truck, so when the 2021 suburbans came out, I got one. I would definitely buy another avalanche ! Good dependable and I love the body shape!
I had a 2006 Chevy Avalanche and loved it. Yes, I'd buy one especially with the 3.0 diesel with max tow package.
Take my money GM, but include the ZR2 package option. 10 speed auto 6.2 L. It will be a beast. Enough power, style and elegance.
Isn’t the ZR2 package in the Colorado? Avalanches had the Z71 package.
@yourgodsisspeakingtoyouher4284 that was in the past, they brought the ZR2 package to the Silverado. Which includes what I described.
Absolutely!!! I am still driving my '07 Avalanche. Was very disappointed when they were discontinued. Now I can look forward to getting this one.
I love my avalanche and I would probably only consider replacing it with a new one if they made it, theres just no other truck that fits the same niche in the market. It's a luxury SUV that can double as a very capable pickup when needed, perfect for someone like me that doesn't need a pickup truck every day but still wants the option
100% agree.... There's only one thing this truck can't do... Tow a fifth wheel .. Oh well
@@kevinjaye7267 Why couldn't it tow a fifth wheel? Is it the bed is too deep ( from floor to top of sides. Just wondering!
@@joshuacalkins8727 From what I'm told the bed is to short and when you turn it will hit the buttresses on either side. Behind the rear windows.
I could see that thanks
I've owned a 2002 Avalanche for the past 7 years and I love it. I would totally buy a new one. The rendering that you showed looks badass. I want it now!
Have a 2002 avalanche as well just working on getting a rear end, the spider gears broke in the differential, after I get a new rear end, the black mamba will be back on the streets
Yess!
I used to own one. I LOVED IT! I had a fender bender, and they totaled it. I begged the insurance adjuster to fix it. He said the frame damage was too much. I would buy another one in a heartbeat!
Yes definitely! I own an 08 with the Southern comfort paint job. I was disappointed with them stopping production. So would love them for them to come out with a new one.
Those Southern Comforts were cool, thanks for watching!
Best vehicle I have ever owned, 2003 1500 Z71 with 210K miles. Previous owner upgraded to 20" tires/wheels, filling the wheel wells nicely. rides fantastic. Does everything I have asked of it. Biggest complaint is the cladding. Seems that when the panels were mounted to the metal, the holes drilled out were not back filled/sealed, causing rust at the mounting points. Friend of mine removed his cladding and spray foamed the back side of the panels to cut down on moisture buildup. And yes, I would buy a new one, but not a EV.
Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment David!
Yes, i think it looks sweet.. I would buy one with the 6.2 under the hood.
Hell yes! I have a 2002 and a 2013 black diamond! Love them both. The 2002 has 265,000 miles and still runs great. The 2013 has 156,000 miles. I’m ready for the new one!!!
Hellya.... I'd definitely buy one as long as it will comes with a 6.2L.
I owned a 2005 Avalanche and just loved it 😊
I have a 2004 and a 2005 and I love them both. I fully plan on getting them repainted and restored to look as good as I can the day they were built.
HOWEVER, even being very anti new vehicle. This would probably be the only thing I'd ever buy brand new. I had a Suburban before my Avalanche's and I just disliked not being able to haul anything semi tall (like a washer or dryer) but I like trucks and got annoyed at most being short beds on the market. The Avalanche is the perfect vehicle in my opinion. It's a Suburban that can become an 8 ft bed. I bought a 75 inch tv last year and it laid in the bed flat while other people with new trucks were showing up and it wouldn't fit in their beds.
If GM brings this back, I'll buy one.
Love the Avalanche. I like the rendering. 11 years ago I also gave up waiting on GM to Duramax one, so I did it to a 2500 Avalanche myself.
I think that is a game changer if GM did that.
Loved my HEAVY CHEVY...was recently looking to buy a used one but didn't find one I like. Can't wait to see the Comeback!
Had a 2002 and i loved it,rode like a cadillac, could carry a 4x8 sheet of drywall or paneling, with the tailgate closed. Even yanked a couple of tree stumps out. Very versitale.
I have a pre-owned '06 Available LT and I LOVE THIS TRUCK!
When I bought it, it had been ridden hard and put away wet with over a hundred thousand miles on the odometer. It had also been wrecked.
This year after Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana, my wife and I evacuated to Covington, Georgia. Since we had only driven on trips less than 100 miles round trip, my wife was worried whether or not the truck could handle the trip.
We began packing the bed and rear seat with our most needed and treasured items and the truck was like "is that all you got?", so added more.
We got a quick oil change and lube job and were off.
The truck was begging to be driven and while on cruise control, it growled at the slightest road incline and wasn't burning a lot of fuel...
The trip home was just as flawless...
So, to answer your question " HELL YEAH, WE'D WELCOME A NEW MODEL OF THE AVALANCHE!" (You can tell by my constant questions to GM and local dealers)
Definitely would buy again, with cladding and a 6.2. Also would like to see it with a shifter in the center console similar to the Hummer.
Original owner of a 2002 here. Took delivery June 2002. I have 195k on the odo and it’s still my daily driver. Yeah I’d buy a new one in a heart beat. But rumors have been floating for years.
The Rumors never end that's for sure Chris, but my fingers are crossed!
Yes I would buy one, but only with a bigger engine.
I bought one in 02 and I still own it. I Love it. Cladding was the only setback but I did the Gator back treatment and gave it some life. Best 5.3 liter I have ever owned. Bring it back!
Just imagine if it came stock with a 6.2 that had a option for a super charger and upgraded suspension 🤤🤤🤤🤤
I was looking for some specific info for my Avalanche, and checked out your video. Yes I would buy one again. I have a 2002 Avalanche with 64000 original miles. just installed a front hitch on it today. (for a 12000lb winch). Also started installing led lights though out , including the interior. (did the front and reverse lights today). Last week I installed an Edge CTS3 Tuner Replaced all the speakers and installed a satellite radio. Always wanted an Avalanche but opted for a GMC Envoy because of the gas savings difference. Still have the Envoy but I use the Avalanche. I don't have any fading problems with the gladdings because I keep it in my shop. I am not the original owner so this truck was hardly used before I bought it. Its hardly used now because I am retired and have other cars to drive. PS. It still has its under carriage labels on it.
Yes, especially if it came as a ¾ ton 2500HD version like 2002-2005!
My Dad owns a 2002 Chevy Avalanche in red. Has over 300k+ miles on it and has one been in the shop maybe once. It's almost 20 years old and the only issue is the chipped paint on the doors but other than that. This truck has done wonders and taken us up and down the East Coast. Chevy needs to make it happen.
That's amazing! Wow! I think my wife's old '09 (now mine) has around 164k but I sure hope it continues to be reliable. I love the Avalanche. She now has a '13 Black Diamond Edition and it's a real beauty. Here's to hoping Chevy brings it back!
Would love it. This time hope they'd put in power window to the rear glass. Also if they could make the cover on the bed go all the way across, so atvs and toys of all kinds able to go in.
I love the versatility of the Avalanche, i have the 2010 with the 5.3 and still rockin. Use it for everything, work and play. I do recommend snow tires in the winter but better grip of the road but its not really needed. Just wish they could change the bed covers to a foldable 1 cover or detachedable 1 cover but still a great truck and with the flex fuel system, even better. Its all the around trucl/suv ever made in my opinion so yea id buy the new one in a heart beat. GM really knew what they were doing when they built this 💪💪
Damn Skippy I would buy one !!!. I own a 2010 Avalanche, and love it, but would get a new one.
They’re awesome, how long have you had it?
@@BrianMello I've had mine for 3 years now, and love it !!!
I bought two Avalanches new, the first in 2004 and the second in 2011. I searched high and low for something to replace it with in 2020 and eventually got a Silverado High Country. While I love driving the High Country at 435 HP, I would buy a new Avalanche for the versatility, although I would want the High Country package as well. FYI...to the Chevy guys who killed the Avalanche, If you see me coming...run like hell because I'm you're going to receive a well placed kick when I catch you! Also big yes on the 6.2 with 10 Speed including the Performance Package. Tell me where to send the downpayment.....
Nice looking new version of the avalanche, it needs a 6.2 for sure!! Never EV!!!!! I would buy one!!
Everyone seems to be voting 6.2 Bob! Thanks for watching!
I have a 2013 Black Diamond. Love the versatility of the fold down panel exposing the covered box. It's a short bed but a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood fits inside with tailgate closed. Don't want to change truck, nothing like it around other than a long roof Suburban.
I'd prefer to get it as a Denali but I'd take one as a high country in a heart beat if it was offered again. I miss my black diamond like no other.
Getting one as an EV would be pretty cool too.
I have a 2013 black diamond and I love it. Yes I would buy a new one if GM bring it back.
I sold GM's from 1992 to 2017. I loved the Avalanche when it came out. I have a 2009 Avalanche now. I would by one if they brought it out, BUT I would really like to see a pick up suspension, not an SUV suspension, under it. I think trailer tow limitation was part of its downfall.
This is so true. They definitely need a better towing capacity. With the 6.2 in it.
Actually, I'd like to see one with a single cab. Or, maybe a Silverado with a single cab and the 5'8" bed in Z71 trim.
LOVE my 2004 Z71 Avalanche! Its been really good to me. I have around 150K miles on it and it doesent look dated like other vehicles do after 17 years. So versatile, and drives well. I take amazing care of it and always do my schedule maintenance. Go offered $9500 for it a month ago. I wasn't even trying to sell it!! Turned em down. I do want to see where a loaded NEW Avalanche goes for, but I'm sure north of $55K. Suddenly mine still does the job me thinks!
I like the idea of the Avalanche again. I'd like to see a 3500 dual rear wheel version with longer bed to tow a fifth wheel. Probably not practical but it would be cool to see a concept drawing.
I used to have an '04 Z66 Avalanche with no body cladding. I loved it. I would totally buy another one if it had the multi-pro/-flex tailgate, multi-pro Kicker Audio, Sunroof, invisible trailering, super-cruise with trailering, & a regular size bed but not the short bed. Even with the ZR2X/XT4X Trim.
I absolutely would buy one, but I'm keeping my 2002, it's in the first 45K ever made, with an attractive 'Roo-Gaurd' in a rounded-off 'bow-tie' shape.
I love the 'cladding', there's 'treatments that make it look new and its lighter than metal, protects better against 'door dings!
In the design above, bringing the bumper-step back is aces, removing it just made an Avalanche back into an old 'Gentleman Jim' GMC wanna-be pickup.
I use that step much more often than the mid-gate bed expander. Only drawback is 'can't drop the tailgate down out of the way'
Maybe the new fancy tailgate would be able to.
I might suggest that Buick develop its own version, now that they've pretty much gone to SUV-only production. (It worked for Cadillac, eh?)
They could modify the styling to be reminiscent of the original Riviera, greatest Buick ever, giving it a range extending hybrid power plant and all-wheel drive that could improve on the 'rubber-meets-the-road' specs of conventional 4WD. Maybe that would be a better idea for an updated 'El Camino'?
65k-80k for a Avalanche and that seems like a no go. I have owned both gens and currently own a 7.5" lifted 07 avy.
My first, and current, vehicles ive ever owned is an avalanche and i honestly cant see myself driving anything else. This truck is amazing!
I just purchased a white 2010 Avalanche LTZ last week. 128,000 miles, was used as a commercial vehicle, so it was well maintained, has all the toys, and the body is almost immaculate, for $14k. Of course, there were a few flaws that come with age, like the built in cargo boxes don't shut right, one of them the key doesn't fit in right to lock, while the other the lock looks like someone jammed a screwdriver into it and wacked it with a hammer. The driver's side mirror doesn't fold in, but can be manually pulled in, while the passenger side still folds in when the button is pressed. The tire pressure sensors in the tires have had their batteries depleted, and the module for the heat/cooled seats probably has the one pin on a connector melted (common problem). Also, there is one slight tear in the drivers seat. I also believe the EVAP system needs servicing. Other than that, everything is near mint, and is expected for a vehicle that is over 13 years old.
While I've only had it for a week and barely put 100 miles on it, I absolutely love it! It rides nice and smooth, it can carry my family with comfort and ease, while at the same time I can haul firewood or groceries with no problems. I've already done some tweaks to make it better, like putting in LED lights in the cabin, puddle lights, and license plate lights, Weatherguard floor mats, new wireless headphones and remote for the entertainment in the back seat, and a few other things. We used to have suburbans and a Trailblazer, but they limited what we could haul because of the roof. With the Avalanche, we can haul things we couldn't before, things that are too tall or too long for the other vehicles. So I hope they do bring back a new generation of Avalanche, improving on some of the weak points of the old, like it's common problems, and make it so much better!
I wouldn't be so excited for an EV version though. I don't think it would be all that good since it would dramatically increase the price, be hell to upgrade or work on, and with our cold Michigan winters, the battery life and power would suffer. V8 or nothing, and 4x4 all the way!
I bought the 2013 Diamond edition Avalanche and I love it. It's the first truck I've ever owned and I have always liked this truck.
Would buy another. Still have my 03, 2500. Would like to see the cladding as an option in a 4X4 package only because no real use aside from shopping cart barriers.
I own and love a 2004 71. At 135,000 miles it runs like new. Upgraded drilled / slotted Power Stop brakes and upgraded shocks made a big improvement. I would definitely consider it. Na Chrome guy so the black out grill and Amish bumpers don't tie a bow for me. I would replace the heavy removable bed covers with a fold and stow or electric roll up.. something unique .. some more tie down in the bed would be nice . Throw an inverter in for 110 power in the bed somewhere and USB ports interior and bed .. ala most new cars. Obviously all the standard crap like back up camera and camera control to aim and zoom for easy trailer hook up and look around. This is NOT a farm truck so let's not treat it like one ... But.... It has got to pull a load.. more than the 2013. Though drive train, over size rad, plus trans, oil, power steering coolers as well. driver adjustment for air bag leveling.. make it camper trailer/ boat friendly... Side view mirrors mounted on slide out pistons so you can see around your load but retract for daily use. Those rental mirrors suck and scratch up the paint... Let's face it. This could be revolutionary luxury puller. Strong, powerful, good lookin'. Keep it under 60 k and Chevy will sell a million of them.
Absolutely!!! I still have my 2007 and will be buried in it. I will never turn loose of this truck.
I must admit, the look took a while, to grow on me, but my wife liked the Avalanche from day one, and when the new, final edition came out, she loved it. Their are a few in our area, that still look great, and still catch her attention...as a matter of fact, she commented just recently, that she would want one, if they ever came back on the market. As for desired power, she has a real love for the 6.2 V-8, with the dealer installed Borla exhaust, in my Silverado LTZ, so I’m pretty sure that is a no brainer 👍 an Avalanche LTZ SS, with the 6.2,
with some really nice, chrome 18” rims, to put some meat on the ground, and a nicer ride at the same time.
20’s
I have a 2004 Avalanche that i have had for years and i still love it. The cladding should only be an option because i would rather not have the cladding and i'm glad mine does not have cladding although some people prefer the cladding.
Definitely would buy one. On my second one which is my daily, an ‘05. I build custom furniture and deliver items no one can believe thanks to the bed conversation capabilities. Hated the Avalanche when it came out and bought one for my wife and fell in love with it. EV? I guess we don’t have a choice coming soon. 5.3L is fine.
Bad ass rendering of a new one though.
Absolutely!!! Have an 06 z71...best vehicle I've ever had!!! She's still running strong!!!very comfortable on long trips and keeps you warm with her heated seats when it's cold outside...So come on Chevy..bring her back!!!❤❤❤
I bought a 2003 Avalanche and then a 2008. Wish I had gotten a 2013. It was the best vehicle I have ever driven. So versatile, comfortable, and fun to drive. I was heartbroken when they discontinued it after 2013 and have been waiting for Chevy to bring them back. If they do, I will be one of the first in line to get one.
My mom has got a 2011 LTZ Avalanche. It's honestly such a comfortable ride and is surprisingly practical with the use of the midgate. I love that truck
I am the original owner of an ‘03 with body cladding. Fading is controlled with Maguires tire shine. When ever you don't like the fading, spray it and leave it. Looks new again even in 2022.
bought a new one in 2004, and sold it in 2021, The gas mileage was horrendous, but I did love that truck. Never a bad day with that truck, or was it a car? It rode like a cadilac! I want another one for sure!
Thanks for watching Steve!
I have a 2004 Z66 Avalanche and have refused to buy another vehicle in hopes that GM comes out with a new one. So HELL YES I will buy one.
Thanks for joining the conversation Carlos! Hope all is well!
I absolutely loved my 2003. yellow with the body cladding. still have fond memories of it. I am a current 2021 sikverado owner and yes, if it looked as good as the render I would seriously consider buying it.
How are you enjoying the new Silverado?
@@BrianMello I' like it. it's a 2021 trailboss custom with 5.3. I had a hard time deciding on the custom or the LT but wanted a lower priced truck. I don't miss all the trim level goodies in the LT and also like the 6 speed in the custom. I also decided the 5.3 was what I needed vs the 6.2 because I didn't want to spend about 50 cents more per gallon on premium fuel (even tho it's recommended and mot required)
Childhood favorite truck. If they re-release, I'm getting it no matter what. They should because it kinda fits the bill to be a great posterchild for electric-powered trucks now that its becoming a thing.
if they did it as a Maverick/SantaCruz challenger, yes. It's already got the form, shrink it down, and base it off the current Blazer. You already have a 2.0 turbo and FWD/AWD ready to drop, as well as a 3.6 v6 for premium trim. It's a no brainer in a segment that is exploding.
By the way. There were 3 generations of Avalanche. The 2002s have a different front end and many unique components. Always a challenge when I need parts.
I recently, about 2 months ago, got me a 2009 Avalanche LT in near to perfect condition. Not one spec of rust on body and underneath frame is clean clean with original undercoating. I mean no rust at all, brought in from Virginia. Just love the truck. Use it to cruize to work and back home a couple times a week and to visit my mom on weekends, outta town a couple times a month. I would definitely buy a new version, hell yeah!
It would also be nice if the mid gate had a 60-40 split like the seats. Along with the milti pro rear gate, that's one sweet truck and I'd love to have one.
It could be the most perfect suv/ truck as an ev using some of the tech from the Hummer.
I asked my wife “ would you buy it .” Her response was hell yea. I have to agree.
I would buy one ASAP. I have an '02 with 280K miles. It still runs great. I believe that an EV would be great, but I would need a 6.2. It would definitely replace my Yukon. I have no intention of giving up my '02. It will go down in history as one of GM's greatest accomplishments. I will take my grandkids riding in it.
The day she clicks over 300k will be one to remember Coley!
Hey Brian, i love my 07 and yes its getting old with 408k km (256k miles) i keep it as i got a great deal on it 5 years ago and owes me nothing! Very reliable and yes 100% i would but i may have to settle for a Silverado EV, which im okay with as a backup plan. Love the video! - Mark
Absolutely. I still have my 2003 Avalanche and love it. All 355,000 miles!
Thats awesome! 290K on my 2003
I still have my 2004 Avalanche and she still going strong 250000 miles later and yes I would buy another one as long as you keep up the maintenance she is gonna run. I still drive from Atlanta to New Orleans in mine
I'm rocking a 2003 avalanch right now. I don't know what I'd do without that mid tear down. I hope they make a new one
Hell yeah I would! I'll take a 6.2 or a 3.0 diesel 4x4. Lift it and park it next to my 2004 Avalanche. My 04 is a beast
Hell yeah I'd buy one. Had a 03 Z71 and loved it. After making minor upgrades and changes, synthetic oil, air filter and proper maintenance I was able to drive approximately 600 miles on a tank of gas highway at around 75 mph. I remember in winter of 2003/04 I was driving around on a flat tire and didn't realize it. ........I got rid of it due to high gas prices ,at $100 a tank i traded it in. Looking back on it now I would have kept it and bought another vehicle as a daily driver.
Yes! Absolutely! I have a 2011 bought new back then and no intentions on selling it. Would love a new Hybrid version if they come out with one...
A hybrid version would be great to have, thanks for watching!
I miss my 2004 and 2013 Avalanche. I been waiting for years, and i will be in line to get one.
I would buy one in a heart beat. I would prefer a Hybrid but I love the bed convertibility shown in the 2024 EV.
Yes!
I currently own a 2007 Avalanche. Make the Bodyside Cladding a No-Charge delete option for the 2022.
I don't need another part to maintain in addition to plastic headlights.
🟥 I bought my 08 off the original owner 4 years ago. I've always had elcaminos and pickups. It has the all aluminum 6.0 engine and it truly rips ass with 100 thousand miles on it. Mobil 1 since day one. Its the most utilitarian vehicle I've ever owned. I would definitely consider buying a New one if it was made, but I'm not to sure this one will be worn out and useless by then. Happy motoring to all you past, present, and future Avalanche owners. BTW...Black liquid shoe polish on all the black trim works wonders. I did 2 applications 4 years ago and it's still holding up in all weather...Easy Peasy.
I'm a Big Chevy Avalanche fan. I owned a 2002 Chevy Avalanche and now an 2008. Every vehicle has their issues, lol. Mine recently was loosing Voltage somewhere, that's how i understood it. The Main Ground? Ignition key? Recently had stereo equipment installed! Anyways i like the New look and purchase one the the right price!! Not 50 thousand. Quit being Greedy!! More like 35 Thousand!
I have a 06 and love it , i love the mid gate, my kid loves opening it up and crawling around in it . It's awesome
As a proud owner of an 07 lanche I would defiantly get a new one with 6.2
They look pretty good
That looks awesome . Would like to see it without the plastic cladding also . I just traded my 05 Avalanche in on a silverado for a heavier tow rating but loved the Avalanche .
Yes I would buy one. I had a 2nd gen avalanche for 7 years and loved it. The bigger question is will they actually build it?? To me this just seems like an artist rendering and wishful thinking. I have heard nothing offical to suggest that GM is even considering it let alone have plans in place for 2022. If it was going to be a 2022 or even 2023 possibility it would need to be very far along by now and there have been no spy photos at all. I hope this is not all just conjecture but I have my doubts we will see another avalanche anytime soon. I had a GM customer survey call in 2013 and I asked why they discontinued the Avalanche and was told it sold well in Canada but not in the USA hence the discontinuation so not sure why they would change their mind now??
Heck YES!!! I have owned two. It would be crazy if they offered the High Country edition!! Really hope they do this.
I have a 2008 Avalanche that I've owned since new. Today it has just over 182,000 miles. After briefly considering replacing it with a 2022 Silverado, I decided to keep it for the foreseeable future.
I would definitely buy a new Avalanche , My '02 has served me so well , I bought an '08 for my son and I prefer the cladding , never let the zebra striping bother me , that only meant it needed to be cleaned
I miss mine I had a Sunburst Orange 2002 2500 with the 8.1 litre 496 big block. That thing would tow a tank up hill in reverse. And it rode like a dream. Besides regular maintenance only change the fuel pump once. Had it until 2018 when a box truck backed into the front end and totaled it.
Yes, I would by one! My first truck was an Avalanche! I've been in love ever since.
I had the 2002 Avalanche North Face Edition when they came out. It was ack with dark grey leather and the a medium grey for the body cladding. The sides didnt fade but the bed covers did but when you pressure washed it, it would take the chalk look off of it. I LOVED that truck. I put 189,000 miles in it before I traded it in. Had it for almost 13 years. It was the best vehicle ive ever had. I still miss it to this day. Its still driving around and I see it from time to time. If I had a lot of money id buy it back and restore it. The thing rode like a caddy! Id buy the new one!
The Avalanche was love at first sight for me, although way out of my price range whenever it first came out. I am happy to say that I do own a 2010 model and love it, but would like to see a few changes made. I think the body cladding cheapened the look of the Avalanche: the cladding had echos of that Chevy disaster the Aztec. If the cladding served to protect the paint underneath and could be removed when not driving off road and also did not serve as a water and salt trap to cover rust developing unseen, I might be onboard. As far as an EV, the new EV Chevy pickup already looks like and has similar features as the Avalanche. The 60/40 split mid door is an excellent feature they are proposing. I would also like to see a 3/4 ton and/or 1 ton version with 5th wheel capabilities. If GM would do that, they would sell even more of them. Also, they need to improve the heating and defrosting system. I would also like to see the center console be able to be switched out for a jump seat. I would definitely be interested in a reintroduced Avalanche.
I've owned 2 Avys. '02 Z66 and '05 2500. Loved both and would absolutely get another if offered in a 6.2 Z71/ZR2 trim or 2500 "power wagon'ish" level. A partnership with AEV would be icing on the cake.
Well it's only a drawing but, my 2010 is still mint and I'll own till the day I die. I love my avalanche. I even incorporate it in drone videos lol. GOAT!
Yes,! I have owned (2) 2002 and 2004 which I still drive, at 165000 mi , still love it and would buy another,depending on drive train package, please bring it back it’s worth it, it fills a need for business and pleasure,one of the smoothest rides you’ll ever experience.Go for it Chevy,you’ll never regret it!!!
