2005 Chevrolet Avalanche consumer reviews

Bought my 2005 in 2009 It's the best truck I've ever had hands down. It's loaded with great features. Can't wait for the snow!

I bought my 2005 avalanche z71 4x4 in july 2008 with 21k miles on it. Absolutely, hands down, the best truck that i have ever owned! Very comfortable to drive and love all of the features. You are really getting your monies worth with this truck, highly recommend. a little expensive on gas,but you have to remember it has a very large gas tank, so it does last longer. Fun to drive and love to turn heads!!

I picked up a 2003 Z71 2.5 years ago with 50,000 miles on it to serve as a 3rd vehicle to tow my 19 ft. runabout and haul stuff. I drive about 2/3 HWY and 1/3 city and average 16.8 MPH. Due to the vehicle's size, I don't even attempt to drive it to my downtown office and parking garage. I have driven the vehicle with 5 adults on a 3 hr trip and everyone was amazed with the comfort. I love the 3 piece tonneau and rear side pockets for storage. New rear brakes and 4 shocks @70k, @75k rear power door looks not working.

my truck is a 2005 avalanche 4x4 naked, black, bought used in 1/08 with 12,000mls on odo, truck is great for fishing on the beach, interstate travel, and trips to homedepot for anything from doors to drywall, 4x8 sheets! dry!, we get 16 mpg on island, and 20 on the hyway with cruse set at 65mph. truck is great off road an on the beach. no problems and oh yea,onstar is the best, never get lost an monthly emails telling us about all the trucks systems.will buy another when this one has reached our limit.

I only had my 2005 Avalanche for about 9 months but I really enjoyed owning it. Great interior room, love the overall style and usefulness of the truck. Drove it from Dallas to Colorado and was very comfortable 4 adults. It rides smooth like a SUV but it has all the features you would want in a truck. Had no problems maintaining it. No break downs. Negatives are its size, it is very bulky and it takes a while to get used to the girth. Really didn?t enjoy parking in garages. The main problem though is just the cost to drive it. The thing costs well over $100 to fill up, at $3.70 a gallon, and with gas prices rising every day I kind of had to get out while I could. It gets right at 16.8 miles per gallon. Overall I really enjoyed having my Avalanche, hate to get rid of it but its just not practical to own right now.

I own a 2005 Avalanche. It's the most versatile and reliable vehicle I've ever had!! It hauls everything ... in style. I will buy another Avalanche when I wear this one out. Dave
