"Well what is there not to like about the truck ,it is big enough for family haulings and is great towing vehichle, the down sides are minor compared to what the truck gives , our truck right now gets 13.9 miles per gallon which isn't exactly good hah ,but I love the color scheme it is black with the 4X4 grey on the front and has the 2 tone leather black/grey and has the navigation system with DVD player. IT gets around 17 to maybe even 21 on long trips but since gas has gone down it really dosen't matter anymore... All in all thes truck is the best truck ever :) 2008 chevrolet avalanche"

"I've driven a lot of vehicles and none are as enjoyable to drive as my avalanche. Make no mistake...this truck is a very useful tool that comes with a steep price tag. Overall I'd say you get what you pay for. My only complaint about the vehicle would be the 5.3L engine just does not propel the vehicle like it should, acceleration is sluggish. Other than that, this truck is great and I love it."

"We love our Avalanche! As a mom it is great for hauling kids and groceries but it also fits the other portions of my life very well. It is the most versatile rig known for my country lifestyle with a business to manage. We live on a ranch and I commute to a ranch office for my regular job. The cargo space comes in handy all the time rather I need to haul a sick farm animal or a few bales of hay. It is an impressive vehicle to transport business investors/partners to various locations around the ranch. The vehicle came in handy when we were doing some building at home, what an amazing storage capacity when you put the backseats down. Plus the vehicle tows our camp trailer really well. The Avalanche is also an agressive vehicle in the mud and gravel bars. When we have a little free time to play with our friends the Avalanche is always a gathering place. Perhaps that is because of the built in coolers and awesome Bose stereo system. I don't think the gas mileage is as good for commuting as the research claimed. I did put a 6 inch lift and 20" tires on because I already had poor mileage and neded more clearance than stock allowed. I wish the plastic around the bed was a little bit sturdier but our local dealership is replacing the bad gutters with out questioning it. Overall best-buy!"

"We bought this truck mostly due to its versatility and have not been disappointed. The car can do anything. It can be a "truck" when you need it but also looks classy after a nice wash. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Truck is good for everyday driving but really shines on long trips and during tailgating. There is something to be said about being able to pack all your gear in a covered pickup bed and drive for a few hours with no gear overflowing into the passenger seats disturbing the passengers or disturbing your rearview sight. It is also a treat to take this truck tailgating. The side compartments turn into two huge coolers and there is something magical about reaching into the side of you truck and pulling out a few cold ones for your friends and you on a Saturday morning ripe for a football game. All my friends are kinda in awe when they see this baby in action and although tailgating chances are few and far between it is nonetheless a notable strength of this car. The biggest downside to this car is parking. It is a beast to park, it is like trying to jam a square peg into a round hole sometimes and it can be frustrating to drive around looking for a spot big enough for the massive girth this guy brings. Inside the truck has everything you can ask for. The Bose sound system is great but I wish the subwoofer had an independent volume control because sometimes I would like to turn it up a little. The cabin is so spacious. It's hard to describe how this is significant but the illusion of freedom the spacious interior gives you is amazing. You never feel cramped in this truck and it is truly a relaxing experience, especially on longer trips. The leather seats are very nice, clean very well. The wood trim around the most obvious parts look amazing and give the truck a classy feel on the inside. As far as driving is concerned no complaints here. The cabin is super quiet and the truck always drives smooth. The truck handles bad weather like a champ and being able to quickly change from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive is a great feature and one we use often. In conclusion, this truck is amazing. Sharp looking on the outside with a great interior to match. A truly versatile truck that can be anything to everybody. I hope you enjoy the truck as much as we do."
