  • I would buy another one - 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    I purchased new almost 4 years ago. After 58,000 miles, I have not had one major repair. Changed oil and it goes. In nearly perfect condition, with original tires and brakes. Never a problem. The black plastic began to fade and the dealer refurbished it, under warranty without charge with an improved treatment. Every year me and 3 friends take it on our golf trip- 4 men, 4 sets of clubs and our luggage- and we usually take the clubs of the rest that fly down. Have hauled 10 foot sheets of drywall, skids of pavers and also trailered a huge camper approx 10,000 pounds. Reliable!

    Totally awesome truck. I have the fexibilty of a 4-door and a truck. Plus it looks good. I havent been satified with any vehicle since my 1991 Z-24. Ive had a Blazer, a Malibu, a S-10, & a ford car. The Avalanche is big, I feel safer when I am driving this truck. Its easier for my 2 kids (7 & 8 years old) to get in & out. Suprisingly the gas mileage isnt that bad. I comute over 500 miles a week and average 17 miles per gal. The preformance is OUTSTANDING. The looks AWESOME. If something happened to my truck I would replace it with another one.

    over the 45 years of driving i have owned all of GM name plates. I cant think of any that i have not purchased. the chevrolet avalanche has surpased all of my former trucks in just about every way. the first thing i noticed was the handeling,its also fun to drive. this truck gets alot of looks and people stop me many times and ask how i like this new look. The number one thing is that my wife drove it on a test drive and loved it as did my black labrador. once you drive a avalanche you will be hooked....

  • 2004 z71 Avalanche - 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    I owned a 2002 Z71 and loved it. purshased the 2004 due to my experience with past Avalanche. Chevrolet has done a wonderful job with this truck. Can not think of anything they have forgotten. However the book says I was to receive headphones for rear and am having a problen with dealer,they say does not come with mine. Why is it written in booklet if not true. I do have the bucket seats. Whats up with this? I got so many options think they would stick to their word.

  • Problems have been DIY easy - 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    Coming from owning a Wrangler, I wanted something fun, more comfortable, but still able to be modified to be unique. Other than those that leave theirs stock, the same year/color/body Avalanche can look completely different, which is fun. I didnt buy it because I thought I was going to get good gas mileage, so no complaints there, and the savings in insurance from all the airbags and such has offset that quite a bit. This is my 15th car in the 18 years that I have been driving, and other than my 1st car (69 Ford Mustang Fastback), it has been my favorite. I will drive it till the wheels fall off...then buy another one.

  • 2004 z71 avalanche - 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    I love my avalanche. I own and show quarter horses as well as live on a farm. This vehicle has saved feed and other cargo many times since we have owned it from getting wet and unusable. I love the interior. It is comfortable and drives almost as smooth as a car. I do have the Bose sound system and satilite radio. It is a great system. Overall this is a great vehicle.

    This truck is simply amazing, all of the muscle, all of the toys and its so "freakin" sexy. Its like a dream come true, all the power of a Chevy truck accompanied by the comforts of a luxury suv.
