Overview & Reviews
The Avalanche gets numerous interior upgrades for '03 in addition to the midyear introduction of a "decladded" version that does without the oft-derided extensive lower body trim. Dual-zone climate control is now standard equipment on all models along with multistage airbags and a passenger airbag sensor. A redesigned instrument panel houses a more comprehensive driver information display; and an optional multifunction steering wheel puts climate, radio and trip computer controls right in the palm of your hands. New entertainment options include a Bose stereo system, XM Satellite Radio and a rear passenger DVD video system. Other new options include the StabiliTrak stability control system on 2WD half-ton models, adjustable pedals, and a fully automatic multizone climate control system.
- Versatile and innovative cab configuration, strong V8 engines, substantial towing ability.
- Some cheap interior pieces, lifeless steering, limited drivetrain choices.

Great Truck ,Very Happy - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By golfzone - November 30 - 2:00 amI have had this truck for about 3 months now (without hardware option) and it is the best vechile ride and the features that is offers are great and with the Z66 option it is well worth it. The XM sateillite radio is great as well . The Bose sound system in these truck is unbeleivable. This truck offers full inside interior not like some of the other trucks out on the market.

The perfect truck - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Aetatis - November 14 - 2:00 amThis is my favorite vehicle right now. It is just the right combination of comfort and power. It is so versatile. What other V8 can haul long pieces of lumber covered from a rainstorm at Home Depot? The z66 package rides like a cadillac. But it is still a truck. The midgate function has proved invaluable. I have no complaints!

The 2500 is SOOO Much ~FASTER~ - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Loreen - October 30 - 2:00 amI could NOT tell you how much I LOVE my truck! I tryed the smaller Avalanche 1500 first and really like it, but the 2500 just blew me away!! I could not sign the papers fast enough to get this baby in the garage. I cant imagine driving anything else. By far the coolest truck on the road. ( as far as Im concerned) It Rocks~

I LOVE this truck - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Johnny Bradabadowski - October 27 - 6:46 amA couple of years ago I went shopping for a used truck. I wasnt really in the market for an Avalanche. While I was at a Chevrolet dealer in the Atlanta, GA area test driving a Silverado, the salesperson suggested that I test drive a one owner Avalanche Z66 without the cladding. Out of curiosity I took her for a spin and OMG!!, am I ever glad I did. When I got back to the dealer I bought it immediately. I never really thought I would like an Avalanche until I owned one. I love everything about this truck and the previous owner took excellent care of it. It still looks new. Almost everywhere I go I get compliments on it. Just last night when I arrived at a restaurant someone in the parking lot approached me to try to buy it. This truck has the best ride, drives better, and is more comfortable than anything Ive ever owned, including my wifes 2008 Tahoe. In my opinion the interior is MUCH nicer in the 2006 and down Chevy trucks. I hate the interior in the 2007 and up trucks. I will never step up to a newer model truck until they change that UGLY cheap looking hard plastic interior and low grade leather in the newer models no matter how good the exterior is. Anyway, I love the way the Avalanche drives, the power of the 5.3, the ride, convenience, comfort, roomy, locking side tool boxes that double as a cooler, locking tailgate and I mean you name it and I like it. Too bad they stopped building them! If you can find a good used 2006 and down, I would highly recommended it.

Luv It! - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Joe Clark - October 23 - 2:00 amI like my Avalanche more now than when I bought it. The only thing that would be a nice addition would be backup sensors, since it is difficult to see out the rear window and you must almost totally depend on your side mirror. It is ok, but takes some getting use to. Otherwise I love it!

Im in Love - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By j prater - October 19 - 2:00 amThis is my second Avalanche. I bought and 02 with a cloth interior--it didnt do well with my Jack Russell Terrier who sheds madly. After he made a trip thru it, it took 3 hours to get the hair out of the fabric. I traded it 8 months later with 14K miles on it. Never a minutes trouble--we loved it enough to do it again.

911!!! - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Redhot Avalanche - October 15 - 2:00 amThis truck was great until 18 days after I bought it. I heard the horn and went out to find the interior in flames!.. The fire bureau said it was a short in the dash and 17 days later , I still am waiting for GM, Chevrolet or my dealer to give me any word on what they are going to do for me. They have been absolutely no help at all!!

Fits All Needs - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Smod - October 10 - 2:00 amGreat truck/SUV fills both perfectly. Holds 5 comfortably, and converts to fit 4"X 8" sheets in under a minute, and only take the #3 panel off to carry home your lawnmower Side storage great for stuff and as a cooler. Great ride. Almost bought a F-150 crew cab but this out shines it all the way.
