  Avalanche "the biz - nizz" - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By madspeakerman - December 31 - 2:32 pm

  functionability, biggest trunk in the business, converts into a truck when needed & still has that soft car ride. comfort, mines loaded, a friend of mine has the H2 which has the same steering wheel controls, dash and stereo, door controls (seat heaters and foot adjustments) but you just dont sit at the same angle as the avalanche or suburban H2 more upright and stiff. In the nine monthes ive owned my 04 ive put 25k on it from the beach to the snow. "had the tranny replaced at 20k, warranty covered, bought extended 48 mon. 80k". Around town & local L.A. highways its like youre to only be in this urban cruiser, feeling safe due to size and able to see over traffic, AWSOME! & 14.3mpg avg.

  Dont judge book by the cover - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By bshef - December 28 - 2:45 am

  I had every intention of buying a 1500 silverado crew cab. However, I took the Avalanche for a test drive and immediately fell in love with its ride, power, comfort and most of all..."versatility". Im not the type of guy who will spend $4k on exterior mods for "others" to look at.....I deal strictly with functionality and reliability. The Avalanche not only fit the bill for everything I wanted in a truck......but it also gave me a "built- in" bedliner, a bedcover, extra storage and lots of other bonuses that most consumers end up spending lots on after they buy a new truck. This truck also has great brakes and plenty of power.

  Dennys Truck - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Dennys Truck - December 24 - 2:34 pm

  Ive had my truck for 3 months and it has been the best purchased vehicle Ive made thus far. It does not ride like a truck. It is very confortable to drive and ride in. I consider this to be one of my better investments.

  Avalanche of show and might - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By don - December 16 - 6:44 am

  Indeed a great show of power and looks. It is rugged yet with refined maneuverability and interior design. My wife finds the masculinity and yet get the utility one finds in a kitchen (table?)! I feel the thundering power when it revs up to 110/mph or humping mountains in NH. It is like an Abrams tank that every car in your path, that is in the fast lane, move to the right of the highway when you come to their tail. The gas mileage is awful though but still manageable compared to others of its class.

  Best crossover truck on the market for all weather use. Great power for towing, from small boats to six-place snowmobile trailers.

  Best ever - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche

  Ive had Hondas, Jeeps, and truck and the Avalanche has been the best vehicle Ive owned. You have to get the Z-71 package to appreciate it.
