  Awesomelanche - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By AvsFan33 - July 5 - 7:28 pm

  After a few weeks and 1200 miles, along with a long camping trip, I am happy as can be with my new Avalanche. It is a pleasure to drive and very functional. I was able to load everything I needed in the back as well as a dog and kid in back seat with 1/2 the seat down for additional food and pillows, etc. I love the way it looks and the way it performs. I drove several trucks before buying this one and I know now I made the right choice. Even the highway gas mileage was better than I hoped. Yes the mileage suffers in heavy city traffic but then thats usually during shorter distances anyway. I rate this vehicle a 10.

  This Avalache has it all! - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Pete - July 5 - 4:04 pm

  I purchased this unit about three months ago and since then it has been used for almost everything. Its a very versatile unit, in that in most cases it is really a full size 4-door pick up. Its very comfortable as it rides better than most full size automobles, but you then have the ability to haul almost anything with it up to items which are eight feet in length, all at the flip of a couple of switches.

  Great all-around! - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By JGalla8384 - July 4 - 5:06 pm

  I went from a BMW 325i to a Chevrolet Avalanche, but I have truly enjoyed this vehicle. Fuel prices are up, but its worth the extra fuel costs. Lots of features, drives beautifully, a pleasure to drive short or long distances. Its like having a luxury SUV,with all the room and comfort and features, but also a truck for power and performance and hauling stuff around. I recommend this vehicle whole- heartedly.

  The Best Truck for Everything! - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Rick - June 26 - 3:14 pm

  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!

  Excellent - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By tom c - June 13 - 8:18 pm

  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

  ulitmate vehicle - Best of both worlds - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By blp - May 31 - 3:30 pm

  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 chevy like a rock - May 26 - 6:33 pm

  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.

  Love it - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By bergman - May 18 - 3:06 pm

  I love this vehicle. So smooth, and rides like youre on clouds. The Bose stereo system is excellent. I cant believe Im doing 65 mph. It feels like it 25mph, thats how smooth it is. I love this vehicle. If I trade it in later on, it will be for another one.
