2006 Chevrolet Avalanche Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Spacious, has a bed, able to drive where most cars cannot. Can tow another car. Perfect for going to the beach. Makes moving a lot easier. Safer than most cars. Changes from a five passenger pickup to a six passenger pickup due to its unique midgate.

The avalanche is very versatile for hauling things in the bed, like furniture or just trash. And the backseat is big enough to be comfortable for kids and adults. The storage units on the side of the truck bed are very handy.

Handles great in the snow, roomy, good looking, it's a Chevy, you can put 17's on them without a lift, looks real nice with a lift kit. Comes in a few different body styles and trim packages. You could have leather or cloth interior with or without a sunroof.

Takes up a lot of space so parking can be a bit of a challenge especially in parking garages. You only get around fourteen miles a gallon. With gas prices the way they are I find myself paying $80.00 Just to fill it up.

The gas mileage runs around 15mpg. If you are going on long trips, you may want to take another vehicle. The blower motor door for the heat and air has to be fixed every year as it burns out and will not work correctly. The cabin air filters cannot be replaced.

Its a Chevy so therefore you get all the normal Chevy cons like the tailgate mechanisms break and the rust level on them goes threw the roof, the windshield wiper arms do not fold out and upright off of the windshield, it gets fair gas mileage it doesn't have the normal size bed in the back.
