  Best truck ever - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Aval Z71 - March 5 - 2:00 am

  Unless you are a rancher, this is the best all around truck ever. It tows like a Mack, rides like a Caddy, and changes like a Letherman pocket knife. It has taken my family and towed my 14ft trailer with two full size quads all over So AZ.

  Ways to improve gas mileage and comfort - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By crossroads50 - March 2 - 2:00 am

  For those of you who are complaining about gas mileage please listen up. The first 36,000 were with all stock parts. Now that the original warranty is up I have added a flowmaster exhaust kit with dual cat tips and a K&N Fuel injection performance kit which increase my gas mileage, 3 to 4 mpg. Remember to keep your feul injection system clean ( every 15,000 or so for the avalanche ) Like with any vehicle keep up on your maintenance and your vehicle will work better for you. Im happy I chose the 2002 Z71 Avalache over the suburban and the cadillac suv.

  Versatility&Comfort! - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By GullieZ71 - February 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Z71 leather package when they first came to the market. 30,000 miles later I have to say that the more I drive it the more I like it. Wife loves the comfy heated seats more than her Mercedes. I love the smooth ride and the fact that I can pull a horse trailer, put hay, feed, tack in the back but still feel like i am driving a Caddy.

  Good Vehicle - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By AZBiker - February 16 - 2:00 am

  So far, so good. No major issues and only a couple of minor ones. The Goodyear tires dont do it justice. Been through a couple already. Passenger tires on an off-road machine?

  Cargo Compartment Door Latch - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Nwankama Nwankama - January 31 - 2:03 am

  I was an unlikely convert to Chevy. Having been a Toyota and Honda owner in the past, I have come to appreciate reliability. However, I test drove the Avalanche and fell in love with it, and bought one. But I have a concern: is it a faulty build or design? On two occassions while driving my Avi, the cargo bed door has open by itself. On one accasion, I actually had it locked with the key. Has any othe rperson experienced this, or is something wrong with Avalanche?

  Avalanche is Smarts Mans EXT! - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Cache - January 27 - 2:00 am

  I was looking into buying a 2500 HD w/ 4Drs. Fell in love with Avalanche upon seeing. Midgate makes sense! Would have bought the Caddy, but too much cache! Engineers/Designers did well, but lets not relax just yet! Finish the job! Can you say luxury? Stop with trying to cheaping the Ava. For the price, the Ava should be more accessorized nicely!

  Excellent Truck - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Dave Dilllon - January 25 - 2:00 am

  I Love it, my grandkids love riding in it.It rides just as good if not better than my Town car. I have put over 36,000 miles on it. 93% highway miles, driving through most of the mid and Atlantic states. Never had a problem of any kind. I change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Best truck I have ever owned. Love the ride and the handling, Towing 6 to 7,000 lbs is a breeze with the tow package.

  try again chevrolet!!! - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By winston - January 8 - 2:00 am

  All though the 2002 Avalanche is an innovative design it is poorly designed from stem to stern. Specifically, head lamps that hold water/condensation,engine air vents that collect all sorts of debris,plastic side panels that will probably cause corrosion problems in thefuture, combo leather and cloth seats that are absolutely uncmfortable after 30to 45min of driving, a fold down bed extension system that leaks and a covered bed design that the chevy dealer says is water resistant, ie it leaks, yup you guessed it by luggage and golf clubs have gotten wet more than once. To sum it up Dont buy the avalanche, built like a rock and worth about as much!
