Will carry almost anything you want to transport.
I love the adaptability of this truck. Leather seats. Load capacity. Restrictions include horrible electronics and rusting tendencies.

My dependable and easy to maneuver truck.
It rides really good on the road. With increase in gas it costs about $60. 00 to completely fill up, but lasts if you do not have far to travel to and from work. I keep my oil changed and tires checked and rotated at each oil change. I am a stickler about maintenance, so if something goes wrong on the panel board I address it immediately. I like my truck because I can use it to haul off things and pick up furniture. It is really not a lot of room in this vehicle. Two can sit up front and three in the back. That's it. I like the dual heat/ac controls and it lets you know the percentage of life on your oil before its time for a change. I have never had to use the air bags so I am not real familiar with those.

Chevy avalanche family vehicle.
Vehicle is great. Speedometer went out, as common on this year and make of Chevy, easily fixed. I would own again. 4wd works well. Reliable. Great for the family. Has more than enough leg room in the back. Easy to use bed cover. I am able to use ut myself.

Your worst nightmare avalanche
Great vehicle just replaced motor. Truck has very powerful engine, flies up a mountain as if it was rolling down a steep hill. Could pull any boat or RV for any vacation or recreational use. Candy apple red outside with the red interior lights to match.

I love the truck all together
The knob to turn air to 1-5 is broke. It only works on 3..the seats are very comfortable. It has plenty of space for our family. I love the fact that you can flip up middle console for another seat. I love the bed of the truck. It has a cover that comes off in 10 seconds. I love the outside side compartments and the fact you can lock them.

Long-lasting & dependable vehicle.
Even though my Chevy avalanche has over 200, 000 miles, it is still very reliable and dependable. It is comfortable and easy to drive. I feel safe driving a truck, especially when it comes to winter driving. I like knowing it has four wheel drive when it is needed. I also like knowing I can do more with a truck than I can with a car, such as pulling a trailer, and hauling more things in the back.

It is a great family vehicle. It also transforms well into a work vehicle. It holds a lot of groceries in the bed.
This is one of the most versatile vehicles available.

The outlet for the USB and sd card.
I love it, have lots of space for legs, great stereo system, can get all radio station, has air/ heat. Lots of storage room, runs well, love the interior, love heater in seat and can adjust it with your own panels on your side of the door, and sunroof is wonderful, great gas mileage for mileage on it. Engine run well on speed and hauling. Love the storage on sides, over all good investment.

2005 Chevrolet avalanche is a very dependable vehicle.
My truck is a 2005 Chevrolet avalanche. I bought it new and has about 270, 000 miles. Only problems that I have experienced with this truck is all routine problems. The rubber on the hard panels that cover the bed of the truck have began to leak but that is an easy fix.

The avalanche truck is a really great vehicle especially in the snow
I love my car. It's really good in the snow and rain. My only problems is the wheel bearings. But other than that it's a great car. It has 150000 miles and still runs like a new car. I've been getting regular oil changes. I think as long as you keep your oil changed on time then ur car will be ok. The seats are great and comfortable for a road trip. It's a great vehicle.

Terrible gas guzzling truck wannabe
It gets terrible gas mileage. The removable panels and back window come in handy on occasion. I own the 2WD model, which isn't the greatest in winter conditions. The alarm system randomly goes off in the middle of the night, had to remove the horn fuse to be able to lock it overnight.
accountCircle Lew M on September 18, 2020
It's overall versatility.
The Avalanche was built on the Suburban platform and therefore is extremely comfortable, especially on long trips. It seats 4 comfortably and can squeeze 5 when required. It came with rear video entertainment with headphones which is good for families. The convertible bed is perfect for the DIYer who occasionally needs to transport plywood, studs, and even the occasional appliance or lawn mower. And the lockable/weatherproof bed cover allows secure transport of tools, groceries, etc. It handles well empty, loaded, and towing; and, the shift on the fly 4wd makes it great in the snow. The only complaint I have after 13 years is the poor gas mileage of the gasoline engine which was the only option. It would be 5+ stars with an economical diesel engine. Since they stopped manufacturing them, I will keep mine till the engine dies and then put in a modern diesel.

Functional, reliable, and comfortable.
A very reliable vehicle that is easy to maintain, comfortable to drive, can handle all weather conditions, and is highly functional. 4WD half ton, the bed converts from an easy to drive and park 5' to a weekend project solving 8' bed in about 2 minutes.

My avalanche looks great and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned.
This is a comfortable truck with all kinds of perks to it like the side tool boxes and the waterproof back and you can remove the back glass to make a bigger inside of the truck. It does like the gas stations, mine gets better mileage on the highway than in town driving. The folding mirrors and tilting while in reverse, captain chairs with armrest and 6 CD change out is very nice.

Avalanche positive review.
I love my avalanche, it is very Versatile for work and personal travel. I still have the original brake pads after one hundred and forty thousand miles. It is white and still looks almost as nice as it did when it was new. The one issue is the tailgate latch has broken three times over the years.
accountCircle Summer G on March 19, 2020
It's only the best vehicle on the streets.
The things I like about my vehicle are; how roomy the inside is, how the back windshield basically pops right off. The things I dislike about my vehicle are; the ac sometimes will work so good, and then out the blue it would stop. Also, I do not like how when it rains my back window would leak.
accountCircle Alex T on February 2, 2020
It can convert from a 5.5' bed to an 8' bed just by folding down the mid-gate between the cab and the bed.
The Avalanche is an excellent medium-duty truck. Mine is a 2005, with 245k+ miles, and the original engine, transmission, and all other critical components. Only had to replace the alternator. Very reliable, comfortable to drive and to be a passenger. Very versatile to convert a 5.5' bed to an 8' bed when needed.

2005 Chevrolet avalanche with power leather seats (with heating), power windows, power mirrors, and power sunroof, XM radio. 5. 3l vortec engine plenty of power and very smooth on the roads. Has definitely made it in my top list of vehicles that I have owned.

My Avalanche has been dependable from day one. It holds 6 passengers very comfortably. Even after all these years I still get 15 miles to the gallon. Extraordinary in high snow and on ice.
I purchased my 2005 Chevy Avalanche in October of 2004, and have loved it. It has been dependable, comfortable, and a fantastic family vehicle. Lots of road trips have been enjoyed in my Avalanche. I don't have any complaints. Avie has been in the shop very little other than regular maintenance.
accountCircle Sandie E on October 13, 2019
Enjoy the vehicle but problems were expensive.
Had to replace the transmission and water pump and there’s only 130000 miles on it. Speedometer has gone out and to replace it you have to purchase the entire cluster. Small electrical or gauge issues happen. Very comfortable and fits 6 and convenient having the cover on the back.

Bright yellow avalanche seats five people
Well I have 3 older children and a newborn my husband and myself so the vehicle is not big enough at all but other than that it has been dependable it's yellow so you can't miss us . It's a good truck all in all I would recommend it to someone that don't have many children

Great horsepower spacious and safe.
Spacious, comfortable, powerful. Great for long drives. Most importantly, safe. It's great for hauling towing capacity. Very great engine/transmission. Never had any major repairs. Cab space is very ample and comfortable. Features on star for emergencies. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a large SUV.
accountCircle Dalia J on September 23, 2019
Great family and work car.
The most serious problem I have had was repairing the axle that holds the wheels under the car. Performance is outstanding, great reliability and acceleration. Seats are a little rough, but a blanket under you should be fine. Also no back camera or aux cord. Truck area can withstand a lot of loads, great for moving. Occasionally air conditioner blows, but that is probably because my family has had this car for a very long time.
accountCircle DAVE M on August 25, 2019
It drives great and very versatile.
No complaints except covers on bed tend to leak water after they get old. I like the ability to remove rear window. I like the idea of lowering back seats so bed goes to front seats.

2005 Chevy Avalanche Review
My Chevy avalanche is in good body shape and have had very little problems with it. It looks good,runs good and is very reliable
accountCircle Melvin O on June 29, 2019
It is reliable and will go almost anywhere. Few problems with it.
I like Chevys and especially trucks. The Avalanche is versatile and meets my needs. It has over 170000 miles on it with minimal problems. I have had the window regulars wear out faster than they should have, and some parts are expensive to replace.

I'm very happy with my Av. It gives me off-road ability, significant storage and hauling capacity and still manages to fit my entire fit on short to medium length trips.

14 Years and Still Kicking
We bought our Chevrolet Avalanche off another and it has lasted us a long 14 years. It has drove my father and I half way across the country and back without any trouble. We live in an area with absolutely terrible roads but with the height of the vehicle it has no issue and I honestly don't think a tire has ever popped or we've ever gotten stuck. Our winters can be pretty nasty and we live on a hill but this truck has gotten us up and down without a hitch. The heated seats still work and there have been no tearing or destruction of the inside of the vehicle after years of abuse from rowdy teenagers. Although by now it is rusting just a bit the truck is in good shape and we aren't worried about how reliable it is since we know it's reliable.

Very economical great on gas
Overall great vehicle is it a drive does not do very well though I'm pulling large trailers. Good gas economy
accountCircle Kristina S on January 23, 2019
Good vehicle with slight issues
It's a good truck but the tick since 150000 miles is a pain. The power steering is going out. Does get great gas mileage for a truck though! Went a good almost 900 miles on about 2 tanks of gas. It fits all my children and myself. Backseat is huge. Back window comes out and back seat folds down so that it turns to a full size truck.

2005 Avalanche Z71 Review
I have many miles and so it burns oil, it is all leather fully loaded with sunroof, the tailgate no longer locks. It has a fuel pump issue so takes a while for it to crank over and the engine has a slap when you first start it, but It eventually goes away
accountCircle Brittany B on January 14, 2019
What is its actual color?
It seems that when one part breaks, and you get it fixed something else breaks right behind it. Overall, it is built like a tank. It has been thru some fender benders and wrecks but still manages to barely get a scratch on it. The gas mileage is ridiculous because it only gets 15 miles to the gallon max. It has yet to actually die, a part might break but it still keeps going.

The avalanche model is discontinued and the latest model is 2013
After years of use it's still going pretty good. But with time comes problems. It was given to me as a gift from my dad a few years ago.

My Chevy is my favorite I wouldn't trade it for nothing
The transmission is out and I'm currently seeking a new one for it but when its running I love it. Chevy is my all time favorite and I'm proud to own this vehicle. It has plenty of power and the sound system is amazing Bose knows what they're doing! It's beautiful and roomy for all the kids
