2007 Chevrolet Avalanche consumer reviews

This is a niche truck for the recreational/professional type of person since it can do it all with 280 horses and real 4-wheel drive. Ability to put the 3 covers over the tailgate and keep a lot of tools is the key and also so easy to get the 3 covers off when emptying. Fitting in a standard garage by just about 10 inches helps also since the big cab trucks are over a foot longer to start with! I hope to give it a 5-star reliability but haven't owned it long enough. Have seen some of these with lots of miles which bodes well for longevity. Plastic of course doesn't hold up too well for looks but it is plenty thick so no bending... Economy isn't what they advertise either. Lucky to get 18 on freeway (not 21)! The driver's seat could also be a little more comfortable with no real lombard support!

The interior is roomy, there is a "handle" for the passger to grab when entering the vehicle, the interior is very quiet while traveling and there is no engine noise. The covers over the "rear end" are locked into place and can be removed one at a time, depending on how much room you need.

Great Vehicle - I love My Avalanche. Its a big truck and all the truck you'll need for everyday use. 320hp & 340 lbft of torque. Avg fuel Economy 16.2 (only if doing regular maint. oil & air filters) Its very easy to drive and is very smooth soaks up bumps with no problem. The layout in the truck is great. You can get to all of the controls and features easily. I have the base LS edition, but there are plenty of standard features. XM radio is a nice touch, but it does not come with bose system in LS trim. Very confortable seats. Back seat is kinda tight. Mid gate option is great, but have only used 4 times in 4 years. Saved me from having to pay for delivery though. Paint and trim holding up well. Check for minor cracks in dashboard near airbag. Seems to be a problem with most at about 4-5 years. Have dealer replace before purchase. Opt for 2008 model or higher to get the 6 speed transmission. Solid dependable truck more SUV like with a huge trunk but can work like a truck if and when you need it Perfect for the weekend worrior! Somewhat expensive as a daily driver! Set the cruise at 72mph!

:) i love my truck. havnt had any problems. hate the fact that the avalanche doesnt get recognized in the truck community the way that it should, but overall its an amazing truck... the only real issue i have is taking off the bed lids when hauling stuff. it can be a pain sometimes to take off and put back on.

Best truck I ever bought. The only thing I don't like is there is no bed liner. other than that it is the perfect truck for everything

Most Reliable truck I've Owned and the vehicle and my individual experience driving it is great. Get one and enjoy.

In addition to the fabulous LTZ trim/comfort package, I absolutely love the engine in this truck! It shuts dow 4 of the 8 cylinders whenever it can (level ground and downhill) increasing the MPG by at least 5 or more. For example, I drove across the Appalacioan mountain on Interstate 77 from central Ohio to southern North Carolina and got a whopping 19.2 MPG! My old Silverado would get about 8 to 12 MPG depending on the load being carried/towed.

I bought the Avalanche to have a 4WD vehicle for winter and to tow a boat. The Avalanche does a great job of towing the boat and handles great. The interior is spacious and comfortably seats 5 adults. I would definitely recommend.

I will never own anything else. The avalanche is the best looking vehicle on the road. It's dependalbe and has been great features.

Best truck or car I've ever had. Rides like a Cadillac. The only problem I ever had was that the transmission went out about a year into owning it. It was under warranty though and was fixed in no time.
