  • Greatest Truck Ive Ever Owened - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    I have always loved the look of the Avalanche and now I love everything about it. The ride feels like you are not in a truck at all but a big luxury car. It has alot of power and is very fun to drive.

  • The Best Truck for Everything! - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    I have owned several trucks over the years, and this Chevy Avalanche is definitely #1. So, if you are deciding which truck to buy, dont hesitate. Its worth every dime spent. It even has the OnStar feature. I cant say enough. Its just the best!

  • Great Multi-Purpose Luxury Vehicle - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    A great vehicle for a mix of luxury and utility type environments. It accomodates and impresses passagers with comfort and style, while providing area to haul almost any type of cargo. The interior provides room, comfort and quietness to conduct business in person or on the phone. The cargo area can be changed and adapted with ease and on-the-fly to provide security with lockable closed- in space or one can change the setup to enable hauling of large long items. All of this with one vehicle, saves me money and a tremendous amount of time and effort.

  • Excellent - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    This Avalanche is by far the best vehicle I have ever had. The ride is not only quiet, but it rides like a car, and is the best looking truck/SUV by far. If youre looking for a great family truck, this is it. No problems at all

  • Chevy 2500 - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    This truck drives like a Lamborghini - plenty of power and excellent handling, far better than the 1500 series. After one year and over 10,000 miles, the truck runs better than new and is free of mechanical problems. I love it!

  • After one year - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    My Avalanche is the first full size truck Ive ever owned after 25 years of driving. I bought it for its versatility, towing capacity and styling. The truck has not disappointed after 16,000 miles. Gas mileage in congested Dallas, with a lot of stop and go traffic everywhere, has averaged a little over 15 MPG. I like the ride and handling of the vehicle and its really very comfortable as a daily driver. The only build quality problems Ive had are with the body side molding which developed adhesive bubbles that required replacement of all door moldings after one year. I would never buy a just a pick-up. The versatility of a luxury vehicle with the ability to tow and haul is great!

  • ulitmate vehicle - Best of both worlds - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    This truck/suv has it all. You can lock items in the back with the rigid cover like an SUV. You can take it off and haul items in the bed. You can extend the bed into the cab of the truck. It is much more versatile than the standard truck.

  • Cant go wrong with the Avalanche - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    I have had it for 3 weeks now, and I drive 60 miles each way to work. Great ride. Gas mileage is not bad for the highway. I have been averaging 19-21 mpg. @ 80mph. We tow our camper with it, and it handles it with no problems. Very comfortable back seat areafor our 3 kids.

    Our new Chevy Avalanche is the best vehicle we have ever owned. The smooth ride and comfort of the interior are awesome. XM Radio is a surprisingly nice feature.
