  Love my truck - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Z-71 - July 1 - 2:44 pm

  My Avalanche has been a great vehicle. No problems at all. I love driving a truck that is so comfortable. We drive from VA to FL, about 11 hrs straight and get out with no discomfort. None my of vehicles get great fuel mileage, so that isnt a huge concern.

  A perfect Dads weekend truck! - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Freightbob - April 2 - 10:00 am

  90% of the time I dont need an 8 bed. But those times that I do its great. The only problem Ive had was about every 20th start I would get smoke out of the exhaust. Dealer found a SB that addressed the problem, replaced the PCV valve and BAAM, no more problem. In spite of what some reviews say about the "pain" of changing from SUV to 8 bed, it really is easy and doesnt take much time at all.

  Great Vehicle - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By gotmymojojrkn - December 24 - 2:00 am

  Just bought this awesome SUV/Truck Z71 after admiring the looks from day one. I can fit both my teenage sons in back with room to spare. I am one happy son of a gun right now and havent even really started enjoying all the features yet.

  3/4 Ton Big Block is The Only Way to Go - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Robert Michael, Pa. - December 18 - 9:47 pm

  The 3/4 ton with the big block is the only way to tow my heavy travel trailer across country. Much better towing with the 373 rear and Allision tranny than a small block 5.3 screaming with a 410 rear. Very flexible easily loading almost 30 sheets 1/2 drywall and closing the gate. Mileage is better with this 8.1 liter than my old 454. About 14-15 not towing and 11 with a 7000 pound trailer. I dont have to move over for the tractor trailers like you do with the small block. It is getting time to look at another Avalanche but I wont buy one with a small block. I love the truck but do not want a fancy toy truck with a 5.3 liter.

  Load-up chezzy - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By yourconfessions - December 3 - 3:26 pm

  I enjoy my Avalanche. I like the versitility and the only 2 things Id change are the 3 slide panel leak and are not covered under any warranty although the sales people say they are. And the tail gate Id make one thats double doored opens right and left. The drop gate is so traditional in trucks. Lets expand Chevys horizons.

  This is an awesome truck - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Burt Ribet - November 29 - 11:53 am

  I drive this truck about 80 miles/day. I love driving this truck. I used to drive my motorcycle to/from work. It is more fun to drive my truck. I now have 120,000 miles and it has only been in the shop once. The transmission oil pump exploded destroying the transmission at 91,160 miles, 1,160 miles off of my extended warranty.

  Comfort and style - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By vtfatdaddy - October 19 - 6:11 pm

  I love my truck. Its ultra comfortable, even for several people on long rides (I drove two other adults and my two young sons in car seats on a 9 hour trip and no one complained.) I have the Z71 package, but it still rides much smoother than a truck, and because it sits a little lower I prefer it to the ride of my wifes Tahoe. I love the versatility of this truck. I can pack in my whole family and go buy anything I need at the Home Depot, or haul a load of wood or whatever I want. I love the look of the Avalanche, wonderfully odd styling stands out from the crowd. Havent had any mechanical problems whatsoever with the truck. Interior is "no frils" but very functional.

  Used Truck - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By teak - August 25 - 12:22 pm

  I purchased a 2002 Avalanche a few months ago. I must say, WOW! I absolutely love it. Probably the most comfortable vehicle I have ever had. Thankfully the previous owner was very very nice to it. Great versatility for a full size truck. I absolutely am getting a newer Avalanche for my next vehicle. Dont believe what you read, this truck is absolutely great.

  Chevy Avalance..greatest truck ever - 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By jaredville23 - July 3 - 5:33 pm

  I love my Avalanche. It is the best truck out there. It may not have the biggest engine, but it makes up for it with versatility. It can do anything anywhere.
