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.

  Avalanche Rules - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Freddy Wayne Montoya - November 9 - 11:21 am

  I have had my Avalanche for 3 yrs. now. No problems to report, just oil changes and gas! Very roomy interior, love the leather. Drives great, gas mieage is good I think considering the truck and its capabilities. After all, gas mileage in an V-8 is really up to the driver! Overall, I am very happy with this truck and I would recommend it highly to anyone.

  Just Perfect - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Dave - November 9 - 11:15 am

  Ive always loved 4-door pick up trucks and I was for 3 years the proud owner of an Explorer Sport Trac but had been looking to replace it with a bigger more comfortable truck so I could feel more secure on the heavy traffic of the I-10. The Avalanche was the obvious answer. Better comfort ride, stronger transmission and more luxurious than the sport trac and actually has the same fuel economy as my old truck. I bought it used but it rides just as new.

  Awesome Avalanche - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Paul Souza - November 5 - 6:21 pm

  This is by far the best motor vehicle we have purchased. Driving for over 30 years in four season weather the Chevy Avalance is everything we dreamed of. The price was great considering all of the options and versitility this vehicle offers. If you can afford it and need an awesome vehicle this is it!

  Pure J.U.N.K. - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Chebby - November 1 - 10:00 am

  Sorry I ever saw one of these things. Seemed pretty cool at first but quickly got ugly. Sucks gas like my old Hemi Cuda of 1970 vintage. Poor build quality and generally worthless design. Not really a truck and not really an SUV. It gets increasingly uglier every day and the plastic trim everywhere, inside and out, wont stay attached. Will dump it on the used car market soon. Certainly, Dodge and Ford have the edge.

  03 Avalanche - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By dave711 - October 27 - 6:48 pm

  Never had it back to dealer for anything. Change the oil and put in gas and go. Very smooth and quiet ride along with the largest trunk of any vehicle ever made. The heated leather seats are very comfortable and great for long drives. Definitely the ultimate utility vehicle.

  2003 Avalanche WBH is where its at! - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By rxpepper - September 20 - 10:00 am

  The sleek new look of the 2003 without body hardware Avalanche model, is a great improvement over past cladded models. All leather seats w/8 way adjust plus heat and air lumber support turns truck into luxury. In dash 6 disc CD player w/ Bose audio plus dual temp control and steering wheel mounted controls give you so many options (such as...auto side rear view mirror tilt for parkingand much more).

  The Greatest Vehicle Built - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By Dale Schaub - September 20 - 10:00 am

  There have been no problems with this vehicle and I have had two other new vehicles in the last four years and I know problem vehicles. I have 32,000 miles on the vehicle and have never had to take the vehicle to the dealer except for oil changes. Great vehicle. I recommend this vehicle to anyone that likes the looks and the sportlyness and likes to hunt and camp. The vehicle is great for hunting and for taking clients out. I will be buying the 2004.

  Great truck but..... - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  By open - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Positives: Truck is extremely quite for such a big vehicle - Youll notice it right away whether driving down the highway or through pot holes. Very comfortable except for the front center with bench seats. Cons: Water leak in the rear flatbed and into the cabin (known problem). Backing out was a big issue since the rear of the flatbed stuck up (almost ran several people over). Nice to have.... automatic door locks when driving and also a door- ajar alert..
