2011 Chevrolet Avalanche Reviews

Overall the vehicle does its purpose for me. Nothing is really wrong with it besides minor things that happens to any vehicle. Reliably is great. Gets me back and forth to where I have to go. Comfort is not to bad could be better comfort with the seats.

Runs good can tow very well and good on gas. It is very roomy and fun to drive on long road trips. Driver cockpit is very comfortable and great music. The CD player is one of a kind it also has good power for a v6. I would recommend this car if your a truck guy.

The issues with the car is found in the movement of the motor. Otherwise it drives really well and features many unique features on it. The air conditioning is also very useful as a feature. The car also moves a few feet at a time so that helps with the accessibility of it!

My truck did not have any significant engine issues until it turned 10 years old. Other than the oil changes, tire changes from wear and tear. I wish that Chevrolet offered more interior options for that vehicle. Truck has held up very well as I have not taken it easy with it.

The Chevy avalanche is an all purpose truck that drives like a car but has the storage of a truck. The vehicle has a v8 engine but has the flex motor that goes to a 4 cylinder when doing highway driving. The vehicle offers extreme comfort and has four doors.

This truck overall is great. Nice roomy cab, hard bed cover. The cons are the bed is not very big and I have had issues with the backup camera. The mirror is all fuzzy while in reverse. The back up sensors go out and a message pops up here and there. But otherwise great truck.

I love my avalanche it's a perfect family vehicle. It works great for groceries as well during the rainy weather due to have the tunnel cover. I love having heated seats in the winter time. I like how can set the seat adjustments to two different people. It's great driving in the snow.

This is difficult to rate since I purchased the truck at 150,000 miles, therefore, I have paid $2,000 in repairs in the last year - very disappointed. Outside of that, I absolutely love it. The seats are very comfortable, they are also heated. I feel safe driving it. There is lots of storage space in the backseat and bed of truck. The gas mileage is not great (16 mpg).

I love the amount of room in my avalanche! I have 3 kids, ages 4, 7, and 9, and all 3 fit comfortably in the back seat. While this is a pickup truck, it does not feel overwhelmingly big like a lot of other pickups I have driven. My favorite part of the truck is that the back folds down, and the back window comes out, turning the shorter bed into a full sized pickup bed!

Very versatile truck that drives like a luxury car. Comfortable as they come. This is my second one and would buy another if Chevrolet ever decides to bring it back. The creature comforts are more than adequate. Plus last but not least the 5.3 engine has more than enough power to get light to medium work done like pulling trailers or hauling plywood.

In a heart beat accept for mine I'll never sell or tread it. It's paid for and nothing is wrong with it service guys at my dealer want to buy it ? Rides like a caddy, garaged, doesn't go out in ice or snow or any time there is salt or chemicals in the road. It's a Goodwood a keeper?

Major GM problem with dash cracking. Mine started 30 days after purchase from local Chev dealer. Refused to fix it so the superglued it only for it to break again first cold weather. Very poor design and they know it. Concerned with safety issue in event of an accident and flying plastic debris.

This is my 3rd owned avalanche. It is a love-hate relationship. The many aspects of the truck that I enjoy is the interior space, the combination of an SUV and a pickup truck, and many features such as XM radio, DVD player, etc. Be warned though. Although Chevy makes a great engine, other mechanical features are not so great. Therefore, get an extended warranty... You will need it.

I love the way it looks, handles in all weather. It has space for passengers and also for hauling cargo. I like the fact that I sit higher up, not like in small cars where you feel like you are barely off the ground. It is a safe vehicle slso.

Like it, fits my lifestyle, holds my family get fair fuel mileage hauls items I need has built in dvd

It's a really awesome car and I enjoy driving it I would definitely recommend buying this truck. It doesn't have any issues or anything wrong with them they work fine. It has automatic windows, and breaks and automatic locks. The one I have is black and silver with leather seats and air conditioner.

The energy usage is not really environmentally friendly. The seats are comfortable, but difficult to adjust comfortably. Sometimes there are issues with opening and closing the doors and they very often get stuck. The air conditioning is average. Overall this vehicle is average.

Absolutely love my Avalanche! Comfortable to both ride in and drive. We have over 132,000 miles on it and no hefty repairs, just general maintenance. Beautiful color. If GM started making them again I'd be all for a new one!!!

Very reliable, live the truck. Has very good gas mileage. And is very comfortable roomy when traveling. Love the way it lets you know when to change oil etc..

The chrome is peeling off the wheels. I have had to replace two door handles. Already replaced two ball joints one upper and one lower. The dealer is no help, runs up the bill and says it is normal. The paint is terrible last count it has 53 paint chips including the top of the truck.

Paint not very good chip very easily, have owned 3 avalanches and most dissatisfied with this one. Dash cracked. Chrome on wheels peeling only has 78k on it. Replaced two door handles already. Replaced two ball joints. May actually consider a Ford next time. I have driven Chevrolet for over 40 years.

I am approaching 100,000 miles and have had no major issues outside of normal wear and tear. I credit this to routine maintenance and continually care from expert mechanics. I have had all four tires replaced and brakes redone. I have had some body work done from someone that rear ended me in past. And I have had a cracked windshield replaced.

Very good performance, the gas is not great. I really like the bed and the color. The engine runs well. I would recommend to my friends and family. It is best of both worlds with the truck bed. Very practical and versatile. If you have a chance to buy it, do it.

The overall performance is great. It is very spacious. I haven't had many mechanical issues with this model but I have experienced minor electrical issues. It works great for a work truck or family truck. Chevy is very reliable. My favorite attributes are the sensors and DVD player

It gets bad gas mileage, but other than that, it is a great vehicle. Reliable and comfortable. It rarely has any problems. Just sucks up the gas real fast.

My truck hasn't given me trouble,I keep up with it and its performance is great. It drives smooth and the motor is soft. It is real reliable given me no problems and the comfort is real relaxing with the leather seats and the features are amazing looking like I spent a fortune on it

The only thing wrong with this vehicle is ………………… GM stopped making it. Way more useful than any other SUV. Rides like a long wheel base Lux car, nice power ! Start building it AGAIN. I'll lineup tomorrow to order

Bought it used a little over a year ago. I love the truck, really nice to drive, handles nicely, and very roomy. Have taken it on several cross country trips. But, I have replaced all four wheels, transmission, starter, battery twice, front passenger seat electric motor.

It's very reliable. It doesn't need a lot of gas. It very crowded

My Chevy avalanche acts as an adequate multi purpose vehicle. Whether I am loading up the pickup with hundreds of pounds of lumber or just towing my waverunner, it gets the job done with ease. The extra large cabin space is a big bonus also! I have not had any engine or mechanical issues.

No dislike I love my car it is my favorite it runs good! Best car I ever bought! I wouldn't trade it for nothing.

The avalanche is a comfortable truck to ride in. It features backup camera, DVD player, remote start and heated seats. So far I have not had any major problems with it except the tire sensors going out which costs to much to replace. Recently the traction control has been messing up but it is an easy fix.

It's a very dependable truck. I have only owned it for a short time but I love it. It's unique in that it has a rear folding seat that actually opens up to the rear cargo bed that gives it a unique additional space to haul things longer than the actual bed or for extended room for anything. I love the height of the truck also and its clearance from the ground. The sporty look it has is a plus as well.

Only a marginal quality vehicle Too may mechanical issues for a vehicle with only 78k on the odometer

With all the whistles and bells available at the time, it is like riding down the road on a couch. We take excellent care of the vehicle and have been rewarded with a very reliable ride. Over the years, it has kept it is value while still being a serviceable truck.

The "distress" handle helps you get in the truck, but if you are in an accident you have to lean toward the windshield and airbags to grab it, putting yourself in more danger.

I like that it sits up high. It's fuel efficient & has plenty interior space. The bed covering is sturdy & easy to remove & replace.

My avalanche is amazing, it is very spacey and runs amazing. You can choose to have your tailgate open or not it is up to you. It also has a touch screen and also has a camera. The middle in the front is an arm rest but can also be an extra seat. And is also great for towing or trailers.

It's been a good truck since I got. Parts are cheap and easy to self install if need be. Plenty of room inside for passengers and just enough space in back. Runs very well on highway for me to get back and forth to work..Had Sirius XM radio installed so can listen to news stations.

I really love my truck. The best features are the covered bed and the fact that I can extend the bed my laying down the back seats. I can even remove the back window which then stores right there in the back.

It is perfect for everything I do. Great ride. Has had no issues and perfect for traveling across the country in.

I love that it has the cargo space of a normal truck, but that it isn't as large. The gas mileage isn't great but it's good compared to most trucks. I love the black exterior color.

TAKES a lot OF GAS. IT IS ROOMY. SITS UP HIGH

I love the versatility that the truck offers. It is great for hauling kid stuff, but also farm stuff. I love that it has the back cover to keep things dry. It has a lot of storage space and leg room. It drives like a car, very smooth. I wish they hadn't stopped making them because I would like to get another one.

Very comfortable ride with 2011 Chevrolet avalanche ltz. Stylish, fun to drive. Has lots of safety features like 6 airbags. Nice pearl color. Really stands out. I love it, I hope Chevrolet will make another edition of avalanche in the future. Very cool.
