The Chevrolet Avalanche is a relatively reliable truck, with anecdotal reports of some drivers getting upwards of 300,000 miles or more out of their vehicle. Realistically, this is probably not something You should expect, albeit it is something You might hope for. As with many vehicles, the Avalanche is a product of how well (or poorly) You treat it. If You drive Your Avalanche on the road (little to no off-roading) and service it at regular intervals, it's very realistic that You'll get 150,000 or 175,000 miles out of it. If You take exceptionally good care of it and only use top-of-the-line fluids, You're likely looking at 200,000 to 250,000. If You do all of the above and have a little luck on Your side, it's reasonable to assume You might join the 300,000 mile club.

I own and drive my 2002 Avalanche on the same motor for over 650,000K.. The secret is never get the motor over heated and use Mobil1for the best longevity. Love that truck.
I just turned 420,000 on my 2004 Z-71 ... Regular oil changes and driving with luv and care are the secret ... Luv my Avalanche

Love my 2002 Avalanche that we actually bought in 2001. Right now our car has 205,608 miles on it. It is the best car ever made. I have arthritis and a bad back and I can't find the comfort in any car comparable to the Avalanche. You don't feel bumps on the road and it is as comfortable as sitting home on a good sofa. I hope the car goes on another 20 years because it is the best. Also while our car has never had the benefit of sitting housed in garage. It has always been exposed to the hot, sunny days and rain in Florida it still shines like a pearl. The stereo is original and still sounds great. I cannot find anything to complain about it on, the only complaint I have is that this car should have never been stopped being manufactured!

I have had my Chevrolet Avalanche since it first rolled out the dealership, and I have managed to get 800,000 miles out of it and it is the original engine and everything is stock from the factory.

My avalanche has over 300,000 miles and I don't change the oil or oil filter. And I have put over 125,000 in the three years I have owned it. It just burns that oil and I just add more.

The chevy avalanche can last up to 200 - 300,000 miles if it has been repaired properly and has scheduled maintenance intervals regularly.

My 2002 Chevy Avalanche Z71 has 240,000 and starts every morning. It has been off roaded, pulled campers, hunting, in blizzards and the like. Best truck I've owned.
My 2004 1500 Avalanche is at 255,000 miles. Just had transmission rebuilt for 2nd time but engine cranks and purr’s like a kitten, very quiet. Just had steering gear box and pitman arm replaced, and I replaced inner and outer tie rods and lower control arms both on left and right sides. Shocks are next for 2nd time, and I hope to get another 250,000 miles out of this 2004 Avalanche.

Have 220,000 on my 07 Avalanche. Continues to run great. Best vehicle that I have ever owned. Too bad that Chevy stopped making them. Albeit, I got to this mileage with 100% Mobile One usage, and various repairs after 100k.

I love my 2004 Chevy Avalanche. I drove it off the showroom floor in 2004 and still truckin'. I have 327,932 miles and doing great. Its still unique looking, no dents no bumps and no problems. For my own knowledge, I happened to look up the value and I really cant believe the Blue Book value is so low. That's ridiculous!
2003 Z71 with 465120 miles. Ohio salt and brine have taken a toll on the fenders but still drive it to work every day. Original engine. Rebuilt the transmission at 285000m but that is probably due to trailering my motorcycle to Florida for years with it.

Love my avalanche. Shes an '02and picked her up about a year ago with 135k on the odo. The undercarriage has alot ofsurface rust but as far as the drivetrain, she runs like a top. Hoping to have it for years to come
Stock transmission just blew with about 147000 miles. But I did I good bit of off-roading.
