Best truck I have ever owned
I love my Avalanche. Looked at everything and shopped everywhere for the best deal. Owned Chevy, GMC, Nissan and Toyota trucks. Was going back to a Toyota but they are way over priced. Fell in love with all the STUFF on the Chevy. Bought a 2007 and an extended warranty (just in case) and still way under a similar equipped Tundra. I have the LT with the LTZ package. This truck drives and handles better than any of the others. My kids watch movies and my wife and I listen to XM radio and its just wonderful comfort. It has been extremely reliable to this point. Drive one and see for yourself. Everyone that sees it wants one.

EXCELLENT!!!
I purchased my Avalanche in November of 07. Got the mystic burnt orange LT1 4X4. I had a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT and drove it for 14 years with no problems. But when I saw the newly designed Avalanche I knew it was time to upgrade. Excellent ride and plenty of room for family. I love the design and versatility of the vehicle. I cant wait to put accessories on it to really top it off. Gas mileage is a little less than advertised on sticker, but it is a truck. I have ridden in and driven other SUV's and was not as impressed as I am with the AVALANCHE. I got rear ended by a cadillac in January, I felt sorry for the cadillac.

2nd Time Around
I bought a 2002 Avalanche - the first year they came out - and absolutely loved it. I had only one small problem with it, which the dealer fixed promptly under warranty. I had not intended to trade it for awhile, but my dealer asked me to look at the 2007 version. A ten minute test drive was all it took to make me bring out the checkbook. This new version is so comfortable, verstile, good looking and capable, I find excuses to drive it around. My 2007 is black with the light gray leather interior. I can't tell you how many people have raved about that combination when they see it. I bought my 2007 as a used one, but it only had 10,000 miles on it, barely broken in. It is the LT with some of the LTZ options, including adjustable pedals and dual climate control. The only thing to compare to the comfort is my recliner in my living room! I can't wait to see what Chevy comes up with for the 3rd generation Avalanche. You can be sure I'll be in line early for one, though!

Excellent Truck
Never in a million years did I think I would own a pick-up truck. We just traded in our 2004 Landrover for the Avalanche. The ride is smooth and it is great being up high for visability. I have only had my 2007 Avalanche LT for two months. Two weeks ago, it was involved in an accident. Thank god for the size of the vehicle. I was thankfully not hurt. The Avalanche's front passenger end took the brunt of the collision. I was able to drive my vehicle away, however, the other SUV involved, a Pontiac Torrent, was not as lucky, it had to be towed away. I honestly say that I will never return to a smaller vehicle again, regardless of whether or not it is a SUV. Kuddos to Chevrolet for making an elegant and yet very safe vehicle. I can't wait to get mine back from the body shop. Oh by the way, I am getting better fuel mileage from my 8 cyclinder than I did in my 6 cyclinder Landrover. Way to go Chevy.

My Dream Truck
I just replaced a 1991 S10 Blazer that I bought new and put 200k on it. I had been wanting an Avalanche ever since they were introduced. My 07 Avalanche is wonderful. The midgate allows my wife and I to comfortably travel with our three kids while still giving me a pickup truck for the weekend home improvement projects. The kids also love the headrest DVD players. The only complaint I have is minor. The Driver Information Center is located in the gauge cluster and you have to look down to use it. My wife has an 02 Chevy Venture Van with the Driver Information Center in an overhead panel, which I think is safer. Hoping to get about 200k out of this Chevy as well.

Love it every day!
This is one high class vehicle for the money. It has super interior, tons of features and what a wonderful smooth ride. This is the best truck I have ever owned and I have owned plenty. Not one problem in the 25k miles.

Best looking ride I ever owned
The vehicle has great body style and is great for towing, great power and aggressive look. It could use more storage space in interior. Bed cover material needs to be made for longevity.

I love the Avalanche
I HAVE OWNED TWO AVALANCHES (04 AND 07) I THINK THE AVALANCHE IS THE MOST PRACTICAL VEHICLE GM HAS EVER DESIGNED. I HAVEN'T HAD A VEHICLE THAT I ENJOYED DRIVING AS MUCH AS THE AVALANCHE. WONDERFUL JOB BY GM AND CHEVY.

I used to hate these trucks!!
I never in a million years thought I'd own an Avalanche. GM has done an amazing job with the 2007 Avalanche. I have had an LTZ for a little over a month and I am absolutely loving it. The exterior styling was finally done right with the redesign of the Tahoe and Suburban. Gone is the body cladding that screamed ugly. The interior redesign is really well done. Loads of features and gadgets and very well laid out. Interior is elegant, not cheap looking. Could use another gear in the tranny and the shift points could use some attention, but when you do punch it, the trucks pulls well enough. Ride is exceptional for a truck. Very smooth, quiet and comfortable on the highway. With the ugly gone and the versatility remaining, GM got it right. I've actually had several people pull up next to me and compliment what a beautiful truck it is. I doubt that ever happened to Avalanche owners before this year.

2007 Chevy Avalanche LT2 Z71
Huge improvements over the previous generation Avalanche. GM's products are definitely improving! The versatility is the big seller for me. I looked at the Toyota Forerunner, Land Cruiser, 07 Tundra, and FJ Cruiser. In 4X4 models, the Avalanche is comparable or in some cases rates higher in MPG. And it can burn E85 - none of the others can. Not to mention the cargo capabilities!
