The Avalanche is the Pickup for a Family - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Suzuki Kid 400 - September 29 - 10:00 amThe Chevrolet Avalanche is simply the best truck that our family has ever owned. After owning 7 Chevy 1500 pickups in the past 20 years, I am no stranger to the abilities of the full bed and limited cab room. But with the introduction of the Avalanche, it has truly showed the innovation of the typical pickup. This truck is a true winner with comfort for 5 (large) people, room for an ATV, fridge, groceries, plywood, (just about anything you would put in a normal pickup). The suspension is smooth and supple while not relaxing on the Offroading scene.

Versatility - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Sudskis - September 29 - 2:00 amLove the versatility of being able to use the bed for several differnt types of uses. I like to be able to lock the tailgate. Is very convenient for loading ski gear, golf clubs or whatever & know that it is secure in the bed.

Great Multi-function Vehicle - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By dondeema - August 25 - 2:00 amAbout the time GM was talking about a Multi-Function vehicle, I told my wife what I would want to see. The Avalanche is close to my concept. I upgraded from my 95 extended cab 2WD Silverado to the Avalance Z71 Red and have not been disappointed one bit. Mileage is slightly better than my 95 which I am pleased with. I have used it in all the different configurations you can have and this vehicle has exceeded all my expectations. My wife and MOther-in-law both love the ride it gives, that says a lot as to the ride quality.

Best of all worlds - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By wazzy35 - August 12 - 10:00 amI was in the market for a new pickup and knew I would have to also buy a canopy to protect the lumber I buy and the furniture I make. I also wanted to be able to provide for more than two passengers. The Avalanche was the answer! It has fulfilled all my needs. My wife, a bit dubious at first, prefers to travel in this vehicle over her new Maxima and tells everyone she cannot believe the comfort driving/riding in the Avalanche.

Turns Heads, fun to drive! - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By Happy in Kentucky - August 5 - 2:00 amBeautiful truck! I get lots and lots of positive comments everywhere I go. " Is it an SUV or a Truck?, How does it change? I work as a trainer and consultant covering several states. It has a comfortable ride similar to my suburban with better mileage 18.5 + on the road. Can get up and go too! Never had to do anything to it except, buy gas, change the oil and replace a flat tire. Very versital, fun to drive. Only complaint I have is that the spare tire is a 16" and the rest of the tires are 17". Go figure! Recommend Highly!

great car except for the leaks... - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By chesapeake - July 19 - 2:00 amI love most things about the AV but the water leaks in the bed and the air leaks on the front passenger side (brutal during a cold winter) really detract. Unfortunately, local dealership here is dishonest so getting things fixed is an issue.

THE BEST VEHICLE IVE EVER OWNED! - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By GARY61 - July 10 - 2:00 am45 yrs. OF OWNING MOST OF THE TYPE OF CARS AND TRUCKS THAT I LIKED AND COULD AFFORD, THE AVALANCHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. BEFORE I BOUGHT THE AVALANCHE I HAD A FORD F-150 4-WD EXT. CAB AND I LOVED THAT TRUCK VERY MUCH, TOO, BUT THE AVALANCHE FILLED A PLACE IN MY HEART THAT NO OTHER TRUCK COULD HAVE DONE. ITS THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS, ITS A TRUCK WHEN I NEED IT TO BE AND ITS AN SUV WHEN I WANT IT TO BE AND WITH ALL OF THE COMFORT OF A FINE LUXURY CAR. THE RIDE IS OUTSTANDING AND ROOMINESS IS GREAT FOR FAMILY AND HAS PLENTY OF STORAGE CAP. I WOULDNT HESITATE TO BUY ANOTHER ONE.

Truck with the comfort of a car - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
By BucFan410 - July 2 - 2:00 amThis truck has all the comfort of a car with the durability of a truck. Bought with the intent to pull a boat. Plenty of cab room for a large family with plenty of room for storage and luggage. Great vehicle. Very impressed. Although gas prices have made it costly to fill, worth the comfort.
