GM has dropped the ball.

Having severe body rust issues, all wheel openings, paint seems hard with severe rusting rock chips. Engine has oil pressure issues. Very disappointed with GM

Avalanche 11

Second avalanche I have owned. Bought a 2011 a few months ago. Had a few problems but I love the looks of them along with the comfort and room..great for hauling kayaks(reason I bought it). Like the Flex fuel option also. Especially since gas prices are up! Mine has over 177k miles. Plastic cover has alot of fading but still pretty truck. Only complaint really is that the outside door handles wear and break easily, plastic fading, headlight lens discoloration. Power isn't what it should be(no giddy up) but it's older truck. If your wanting speed then it's not the truck for you! I purchased a brand new one when they first came on market but it had transmission problems soon after getting it. Love the back seat fold and window remove feature the best!

2011 Chevy avalanche love the design mechanics suc

Since I bought the 2011 avalanche I have done nothing but pour money into in the last 4 months I have owned it I think I have put a few thousand dollars in it just in 4 months. Now the torch converter is going out and get this another 500-2000 dollars for the problem

The Looks, Power, Functionality, Dependability!

This truck meets all my needs! Great functionality with all the stock options- 5.5ft bed converts into an 8ft bed. Many locking storage compartments. Powerful and decent gas mileage. Excellent in the snow. Super comfortable. Love it!

I owned a 2007 Avy LTZ for 9 years 336k miles.

I needed this truck (2011 Avy Z71 49k miles) so that I can use it for towing a camping trailer (Z71) the 5.3 is easy to work on. this one comes with a life time warranty.

Nice looking truck with a comfortable ride.

Hauls a lot with a longer bed than most crew cabs. Great ride quality like an SUV. Great styling with an integrated hard panel over the bed to keep things dry.
