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.

  Excellent! - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By EDWARDS - January 19 - 5:29 pm

  This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. Great comfortable ride, great towing performance, good fuel economy. I use this truck for towing a 28 foot trailer. Only time I needed service (besides regular service) was for the minor recalls by company. I am looking forward on getting the tent accessory for the back for camping. Rides better than my 2005 GM midsize. OnStar very good.

  Love the truck. Runs great. An all around great utility vehicle. MPG is poor but what the truck does makes up for it.

  Best of both worlds - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By wesg33 - November 22 - 2:01 pm

  This is the perfect vehicle for someone who needs a truck, but would rather have an SUV. Ive had mine for almost three years now and still havent seen a vehicle that I would rather have. In fact Im thinking about trading this one in for a new one soon. I sometimes fold the midgate down, take off one panel, and am able to haul 12 metal studs. Its also nice to be able to haul 8 drywall or plywood completely dry. I dont use it for this very often, but it sure is nice in a pinch. I also love having the bed panels, it allows me to haul quite a few tools in the dry.

  Ive just recently purchased my 2003 Chevy Avalanche Z71. It is a very awesome vehicle that has loads of room and versatility. I would recommend it to anyone who does not need a pickup all the time.

  Happy Owner - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Happy Owner - November 10 - 12:24 pm

  My Z66 Avalanche is the best truck I have ever owned, and I have had several over the years. I added a Gibson exhaust, K&N air filter and the computer adjustments. The truck runs awesome. The only problem I have had in 28,000 miles is the steering shaft, since it was replaced, nothing, not even brakes. It tows my trailer with two big bikes in it like nothing is even there. I recently added 20" wheels and I get lots of comments on the "green monster." The truck is comfortable for five adults and the ride is more like a car than a truck, very smooth. I use the fold down feature often, mostly leaving the rear window in place and folding the lower section (for ladders etc.). Excellent!!!

  One Awesome Truck - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Anthony F. Dugo Jr. - October 31 - 11:41 pm

  I have had my Avalanche(Z-66) for 1 year now. I bought it used & I can tell you this is one awesome Chevy truck. Its bright red & a head turner. I get compliments all the time. It has everything but the kitchen sink in it. .It has a very comfortable ride for a truck . No other competitor can touch this baby! ! Even with the two wheel drive, she glides through the snow like Santa on his sleigh. Its a heavy truck, and tracks through the snow & mud with ease. . Although she likes her fuel, I did not but this vehicle for economy,but since installing a K&N filter and switching to premeium fuel, she runs like a dream. Went from 14.5 to 17.5 mpg. Thanks Chevy for one awesome truck! !

  One versatile truck - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By R Stephens - September 18 - 4:49 am

  I ordered My Avalanche while stationed in Japan without ever test driving one. I was not disappointed. We now live in Germany and get lots of attention and questions from the locals. It is definately one of the most comfortable trucks Ive ever driven and it has no problems getting up to speed on the Autobahn. My only complaint is the speed limiter switch kicks in at about 100 MPH. Parking in German garages can be a little nerve racking with its size, but it will fit. Since it is the only 4 wheeled vehicle we have here the ability to carry the family or lots of cargo is very nice. We wouldnt trade it for anything.

  The ultimate in convenience! - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Robsis - August 25 - 10:00 am

  My wife wanted a four door, I wanted a truck. We went looking for club-cab pickups and she fell in love with the new Avalance without body hardware. The cladding was hard for her to take; however, once she saw the new model without it, she fell in love. What a great vehicle. Rides like a Tahoe, carries 5 comfortably; and, I can go the the home improvement store and take home anything. We also plan on getting the optional tent and using it for camping.
