Best vehicle I've ever owned

This truck is perfect for anyone who does occasional hauling of large items who enjoys a nice riding vehicle. It drives better than any truck and is very comfortable. Gas mileage is what you'd expect. If maintained well there is no reason you won't get over 200k. Wish they still made them.

It was almost like a tool in my life.

It always came in handy, if we went to the beach I was lucky it has 4x4 switch, If I was moving it had the towing package and the bed for cargo that also converted into a full size pick up bed. I just to own a motorcycle too and that fit in the bed with the tail gate closed. The only reason I didn't rate it all 5 stars was because after it hit 200,000 miles parts begun to give up on me.

Best vehicle I have ever owned

I bought my '05 Avalanche with 13 miles on it. It now has 320,000. If I had paid more attention to the 4wd later in its life, this truck would still be flawless. I have pulled a three yard dump trailer several times a month for the life of this truck, and my truck has never hesitated. Even at 300,000 miles, and pulling my trailer, it still gets 14 to 16 miles per gallon. Quitting on the Avalanche was the worst mistake Chevy ever made.

Like A Rock

The Avalanche is the best Vehicle Ever Made. It's the best at everything. I never saw a vehicle that is as so amazing as this one. I have 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 4x4. It is fully loaded and I love every bit of it. I love my Avalanche so much. I would die for it. I only thing I would change about the Avalanche is giving it better gas millage. Other then that. This truck is the best truck of all 4 seasons.

Solid vehicle

I purchased the 2003 Chevy Avalanche from this dealer. It has 82,500 miles on it. It is in above average condition and the engines can go 300,000 miles. I will be replacing other things before the engine quits. About the dealer. He is honest and prices reasonably. He is not selling junk. I would recommend visiting his lot if you are interested in a vehicle that he has.

Overall a well made reliable vehicle

Overall I really like my 2003 Avalanche Z71. With 115,000 miles, I've had it since 75,000. I have replaced the starter, water pump and ignition switch. Also my CD player wont eject any longer, but I listen to AM sports so it doesn't bother me too much. My friend also has a 2003 Tahoe and his CD player went out as well. The good is that even when stuff breaks it is cheap to repair. Sits 4 adults very comfortable. I would consider getting another when this one hits about 175,000 miles.

Best vehicle I've had

I brought this truck used 6 months ago and I love it. It is by far my favorite vehicle I've owned. It's almost 10 years old and has close to 100k miles but it runs and drives great still. The only thing I would change about it if I could is getting the MPG's up from 12 to about 20 if that was possible
