  Better than a Caddy for less - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By justy - April 29 - 7:05 am

  The most complete vehicle I have owned in years. Will trade for a new one if this one ever dies. Engine does well above expectations. Interior is like sitting in my own private entertainment center.

  Fun - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Vince - April 10 - 12:56 am

  A little pricy even on base models. Tow package should be installed on all models standard. A little taller than regular trucks is a plus.

  Avalanche - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By John Quellos - April 7 - 1:44 am

  I bought my Avalanche because I liked its looks. The power is definitly there when you need it and the comfort level is up with the best. I love the control I have when driving on the old dirt roads where I live. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who asks.

  Love it ! - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Teresa - April 6 - 11:28 am

  I bought the Avalanche used with 12,000 miles in excellent condition and have not been dissapointed a bit. It does not get great gas mileage but I have driven a sport utility in the past, and it is about the same. The comfort of the ride and the usefullness of the Avalanche has made me very satisfied.

  A great concept - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Me_Likee2 - April 3 - 3:50 am

  I have truly enjoyed this truck. I have owned Chevy 1500s and 2500s for years. I like the road feel of a Chevy. I think the interior is well conceived. I wasnt a fan of the plastic exterior in the beginning, but the look grew on me. Then GM offered the "Without Body Hardware" option. This removes the lower plastic panels. That did the trick for me.

  Great Farm Truck - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By GREG LAROCHE - April 2 - 3:17 pm

  The Z71 has it all. Rubber floor mats. 4 wheel drive. Aluminum 17 in. wheels. 4-door. 5 seats. Large enough for a 4 wheeler or my 425 John Deere mower, yet it doesn’t look like a long school bus. The sun and sound package is great too. Power moon roof and Bose. Almost 300hp is great for the tow package. The OnStar and XM radio are nice to have too. The best part is the car-like ride that I dont normally get with our farm trucks.

  Truck or SUV? ( trukuv ) - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By james - March 31 - 5:46 pm

  Fun to drive with exceptional comfort and smoothness. Decent fuel consumption for its size. A lot more versatile than a standard truck. Bed is way more spacious than given credit for.

  My First Truck - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche

  Very nice truck - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By PinoyRam - March 15 - 5:30 am

  Bought this truck for my wife, but wish I could drive it everyday. My six year old loves the moonroof, teenager loves the XM radio, both dogs like the removable rear glass window so they can stick their head inside while riding in the bed. The only thing my wife complains about is parking. As far as problems, the oxygen sensor had to be replaced at 2500 miles and one of the speed sensors malfunctioned (5000 miles) so the check ABS and traction control lights came on.

  The many uses of Avalanche - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Art Arnold - March 14 - 6:03 pm

  I have had an Avalanche for 1 1/2 years. I have used it to go to beach, go on trips with my sons baseball team (transporting team players and equipment), go on vacations, and also to go out on the town. Being a contractor, I have used this vehicle on my jobs to transport materials and tools. I have loaded this vehicle up with lots of plywood, lumber, concrete, a/c equipment, landscaping materials, cabinets, office furniture, and many other things. The great part about it is that many of the times that certain materials were being transported, it was raining and none of it got wet, because of the Avalanches closed in design. This vehicle is great in every way, for fun, family, and work.
