2002 Chevrolet Avalanche consumer reviews

I bought an 02 Chevy Avalanche around 4 years ago, it's been an amazing truck. I pull my work trailer everyday with it with zero problems, very reliable. The only time I have to lift the hood is to change the oil or do regular maintenance on it. I highly recommend this vehicle, Chevrolet made this truck right .👊🏻

We got our Avalanche in July 2021 and it has been a great vehicle. We have the Z66 package with a soft top (hard cover was not available on the really early production models). We added running boards and the luggage rails. We have just over the 185,000 miles and it runs great. We replaced the shocks for the first time at 180,000. For the first 95,000 it was all heavy city traffic. All maintenance has been per schedule. Only additional additional service was universal joints at 99,000 miles. We love our Avalanche!

The chevy avalanche is a great vehicle let alone finding a 2500 series mainly to those who are most likely to use it to haul, be advised the rear end is seriously compromised due to rot and even replacement of rear bumper bracket you will be hard pressed to find a solid frame point- severe rear rot

Great Truck, really hate to see it go. Served us well. Have too many vehicles to hold on too at this moment. Called her classic beauty.

I have driven this vehicle 2002 avalanche to Texas Corpus Christi and back had no problems very comfortable long-distance engine perform great drove at least 65 miles an hour

Nope fighting with dealer about getting vehicle. They just keeping money n not fixing Chevy avalanche yet. I wont do business with them again. Bs

Truck is well worth the purchase. I own 3 of these trucks and I am an original owner on one of them. Dependable, reliable, and comfortable.

When it came out, the Avalanche was a quite different pickup truck. It had the neat feature of the bed that can open to the interior and the rugged looks compared to the pickups of the time. Fast forward to today and the body just isn’t holding up. There are many nooks and crannies that hold salt and dirt causing the body to rust out. Fortunately, they are mostly cosmetic and the thing will still run. The underworked V8 in the 1500 version isn’t being taxed too terribly bad and you should expect to get several hundred thousand miles out of the block, if the body lasts that long. The fluorescent dash tends to fail but there are a number of places that will fix them for $75-100, after you pull the gauge pod, a 10 minute affair at the most. If you want a work truck to just haul a crew around a job site, you can’t really go wrong with a used Avalanche. Just don’t expect it to look perfect forever, it wont.

Only issue I had with truck is the A/C went out after about 10 years of owning the truck . Hauled my camper and boat very easily.. roomy and luxurious. Had all the bells and whistles

Everything on this has been serviced by the recommended guide in the book. Only 2 owner. Perfect Carfax, NO accidents or issues. You can't find a nicer '02 than this. Forget the year, you are buying how much is left in this beauty and how fantastic it was cared for. From '02 to 2016 it spent the entire winter in a heated humidity controlled garage while senior couple was in Fla.
