This truck never gave me a problem pretty reliabl

2006 chevy avalanche powered by the 5.3 liter engine. I've had this truck for a couple months did changes here and there and doesn't give me a problem. Doesn't waste oil no knockings nothing at all. Frame isn't rusted. I recommend buying these trucks there pretty dam good! I use the truck for towing my boat and transporting family pretty comfy.

Comfortable truck

I was looking for something that would be able to transport tall things occasionally, room for 4, comfortable and reliable. The Avalanche ticked all the boxes. Based on a Suburban frame, it is definitely comfortable, enough room for all I need to do, and can haul small loads with ease. Very impressed with the 22 mpg I got on the highway once, although 17-18 is a little more common. Owned for almost a year and it has been trouble free!

VERSATILE, COMFORTABLE, CAPABLE

This truck may be the most functional personal truck ever produced. All of the power and strength of a 1500 Silverado with the comfortability of a Tahoe. Use it as a family vehicle, towing truck or for city style. Perfect for a fun seeker of any interest!

06 Avalanche

I bought this truck when my 2500 diesel got t-boned and totaled. I have a boat that needed towing and always loved the utility of the Avalanch. Found this one for a fair price and bought it.

Absolutely loved it and hated to sell it

It was everything I wanted. I wanted a full size loaded truck and this was it! It wasn't a work truck or loading/hauling truck in anyway for me. I needed for baseball and travel. It worked out perfect for my family and I in all our travels

Most reliable vehicle I've owned

Excellent performance and reliability. Drive it 65 miles to work each day. I have put more then 150,000 miles on it and it still runs good.

Avalanche 2500

First of all this is a 2500 Avalanche. That is a 3/4 ton truck. Most of the reviews here are for the 1/2 ton Avalanche. Two very different trucks and I know because I have owned three 1/2 ton Avalanches. The 2500 Avalanche is a beast with a 8.1 V-8. Yes mine gets 11 miles per gallon but it will pull anything anywhere. I drive it from Texas to Telluride Colorado four times per year and there is nothing that will keep up with it in the mountains. Brute power. My truck is one of the best riding and driving vehicles around and it is always the choice for long trips. We have three other cars and the Avalanche is everybodys favorite to travel in. I have driven it 200,000 miles and the only repair was to replace the brake pads and front rotors because I warped them. In my opinion it is the best vehicle ever made.

Great Truck

I bought this vehicle wholesale from Hawthorne Chevrolet in NJ, it is very clean, but It has high miles. But the price was right. The only problem it had was blowing blue smoke when it was first started in the morning. I replaced the valve seals for $30.00, did the job myself, now no blue smoke and it runs great. I'm very happy with this truck.This truck was the best deal in a 250 mile radius of my home using cars.com. I also highly recommend Hawthorne Chevrolet in New Jersey, Those guys were awesome. Even though I bought the vehicle wholesale they completely detailed the vehicle, changed the oil, replaced a few light bulbs, and even filled the gas tank.
