  Im lovin it and thats not a McDonalds - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Mark - February 6 - 10:12 pm

  Well my eperience with trucks are are not old enough but I love this vehicle,spent little extra on interior and eterior equipment but dont regret single buck. Finally I have car I can go easy fishing or hunting without any doubts like "Am I gonna get there without ripping all my brake hoses and wires under the car?".This time I would say GO FOR IT! and still when I get back give a little bubble bath put a nice suit on and take my wife to dinner in nice restaurant. This car has its class, runs great. Handling is good very responsive to driver no matter who that is. Lots of power and still looks great on the road. Have proof, everyones turning heads towards me.

  Awesome truck - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By RAy - January 24 - 11:42 am

  I have owned 17 vehicles, most of them trucks, and this is by far the best. The ride is excellent and it handles like a dream. It is a very quiet ride and has a lot of power. Huals a ton of pellets with no problem and back is very easy to convert. I would recommend to anyone.

  Dream Truck - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By TrickyRicky - January 11 - 10:53 pm

  Ive owned trucks since 1980. Fords, Toyota, Chevy..and without a doubt this is the nicest riding, roomiest, and responsive truck Iv ever owned.The paint is great, no orange peel, and the lines with the clading make it fairly bulletproof. The weight distribution is so good that in most snow, I dont even use 4WD. If you are on the fence about buying one of these, and are willing to pay for a 6000 lb moose, do yourself a favor and buy one of these. It has a tight turning radius and is nimble and quick for its size. You cant see well out the back window, but its not as bad as some reviews make it seem. You get used to it. I love this truck. I tried to find fault with it but I couldnt.

  By Gandelot - November 26 - 9:16 pm

  I drive for a living, and after owning 3 vehicles in 2 years...Ive finally found the perfect vehicle for spending up to 8 hours a day/four days a week in. Comfort is incredible-Handling is great-Power is spelled C-H-E-V-Y.

  Style and comfort - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Kingpole - November 10 - 2:51 am

  I was more than happy to be able to upgrade my Chevy vehicle from a Tracker (2WD convertible) which was fun to drive-like a golf cart, to the Avalanche. WOW! I have had it for 3 months now and enjoy every second driving it. Power, style, and smooth ride. I should mention that the stock stereo/CD system works just fine. I have Bose in the house and thought Id be spoiled and would need the Bose quality in the truck-NAH. It rocks just fine.

  AWESOME - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Michael6013 - September 29 - 5:06 pm

  This truck is awesome. I debated with myself for a long time before breaking down and getting one. I dont regret my decision, I love it. I also believe the truck looks best in the Sunburst color. This truck has the best comfort I have ever owned. I traded my Tahoe in for it.

  I have been very satified with my purchase. It has proven to be very reliable and durable.I can ride with style and grace or pull, haul, and move anything I desire with no problem. I will be trading for the next year model soon.

  5 months and loving it! - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Anthony in NY - September 16 - 4:12 am

  To provide a fair assessment, I waited 5000 miles to post this. The Avalanche had by far the best ride of any truck in the class, with the Z-71 package being a relative bargain. Fit and finish is excellent engine is smooth, ride exceptional for a behemoth of 5800 lbs OnStar is a plus very capable offroad and in the sand. It powers right through. There is nothing like the ease of use of the bed. It has held everything from a yard of topsoil, fishing gear, home depot trips and it handled them all well with ease. The side locking compartments around the bed are valuable and the truck could not be sturdier. Truly the best all-around vehicle I have owned and the most comfortable truck to date. No real complaints. Gas mileage on the hwy is great- about 21. Around town its exactly what youd expect- 13 or so. Air pressure makes a big difference in mileage on the Avalanche. Too low and it drops. If you can afford the gas, this is the truck.

  I love my Av! - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By GAUTHIERTROY - September 15 - 4:48 pm

  Love it! Drove on a family vacation 7,000 miles. It was great. The only drawback is the gas mileage. If you use your luggage rack, it will drink extra gas. It rides heavy on the highway and handles well in the mountains. I dont regret one thing about this purchase except me and my wife fighting to see who gets to drive it.

  I Love My Avalanche - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By djhwi - August 29 - 3:24 pm

  After owning other 4WD vehicles, this one is the best ever! You forget that this is a truck and not a car, the ride is so smooth and all the gadgets makes this vehicle the best Ive ever owned.
