This Year's Model Updates:

The 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche is the newest addition to the Chevy truck lineup. Incorporating a unique convertible cab system, the Avalanche can transform itself from a five-passenger sport-utility with a 5-foot-3-inch bed into a standard cab pickup with a full 8-foot-1-inch utility bed. A 5300 Vortec V8 is standard along with a heavy-duty towing package.

Pros:
  • Versatile and innovative cab configuration, strong V8 engine, high tow rating.
Cons:
  • Funky styling, cheap interior pieces, limited drivetrain choices.

  • WORLDS BEST VEHICLE - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    IVE PURCHASED 7 NEW CARS IN THE PAST 12 YEARS AND THIS BY FAR IS THE MOST DEPENDABLE VEHICLE IVE OWNE INCLUDING A MAZDA, HONDA, NISSAN, SUBARU AND 3 FORDS. IVE TOWED MY TRAVEL TRAILER ON 2 LONG TRIPS INCLUDING YELLOW STONE PARK WITH MY AVALANCE, THE RIDE WAS VERY COMFORTABLE. MY AVALANCHE HAS ONLY BEEN TO THE DEALER ONE TIME FOR A SHOCK REPLACEMENT. BY FAR THE BEST VEHICLE IVE OWNED AND WILL TRADE FOR ANOTHER AVALANCHE EVENTUALLY. THE GAS MILEAGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY SUBARU OUTBACK I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD MANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THIS IS THE FIRST CHEVY I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND IM VERY IM- PRESSED.

  • Bad Brakes - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche

    Truck overall: I like it. Braking system: Poor. Just dont grab... Watch out for quickly changing traffic lights....cause you will have to go through em. Also the rear window makes it very difficult to park.

    I have had my avalanche for 2 years now and I realy love just about every thing about it the ride is very nice and you can have 4 to 5 adults sitting comfortabley and if you need a pickup truck you have it in about 5 min.

  • Would only trade for a newer one... - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    I bought this vehicle because of its versatility. I have an 8 truck bed when I need it, or seating for five. Rarely do I ever need both, so this is the perfect truck for our family. We use this for camping, boating, and everything else. Now that our firstborn has arrived, my wife loves the security she feels driving it in the city. Everywhere we go (grocery shopping, camping, etc.) people come up and ask me about this truck. You cant wipe the grin off of my face. Ive probably given the local Chevy dealers 10 easy sales this year by simply telling people about my Avalanche. GM should be giving me a referral bonus.

  • Z-71 - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    This truck is a blast to drive, it doesnt feel as large as it is. A great head-turner, about like new beetles were in 98. Get used to hearing "change for a dollar"

  • Best truck Ive had - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
    By -

    Ive had trucks before, but the Avalanche jus tops them all. It has a lot of room for the people in the front and even in the back, and I just love the confort of the ride. Is smooth, it seems like if im driving a Cadilac.
