Exceptional Vehicle

This is an excellent vehicle and probably the best truck I have every owned. The conversion ability to lay back seats down and extend bed speaks for itself and it is much sharper looking vehicle than traditional pickups. Interior comfort is exceptional and roomy, even in backseat, which has plenty of leg room. Backup camera option is awesome and probably almost essential however because of the high tailgate on this truck. Highly Recommend

Not Sure

I like the Truck. The look. The styling. I like the options it came with. But, I brought it used and look into the problems. The reason? I smell burning fluid. not sure what it is yet but looking into it as the time of this writing. I read lot of things. Will update.

It was a beautiful vehicle and very reliable.

It had plenty of legroom and was not like driving a truck at all. Very luxurious ride and even had a DVD player for anyone sitting in back.

Chevrolet, Please Bring Back the Avalanche!

This is my 2nd Avalanche because that's how great they are! When I heard they were discontinued in 2013, I couldn't believe it. I will keep this one forever, or until I can buy another new one!

Unbelievable Ride!

This vehicle is built on the same chassis as the Chevrolet Suburban/Cadillac Escalade. You get the benefit of having a truck with an absolutely amazing ride/drive. This is without a doubt the most comfortable truck I have ever owned. (And I have owned over 30 different trucks throughout my life.) Trust me, if you purchase a Chevy Avalanche you will not be disappointed.

Bought used from 85 year old mother

My mother sold me the 2011 LS because it "got too big" for her. she purchased after a wreck and wanted something good looking and safe. After 4 years and 37k miles It became mine for a greater than wholesale price. I have driven a Cheyenne, 2 Silverados and a Ram Quadcab. Cannot decide if I have a truck or SUV. Towed a 3 series BMW this February from Texas to Rock Springs Wyoming, poor, poor gas mileage up the Rockies but nary a whimper. Simply put, it took me a year to decide if I liked it as a truck or SUV, I have come to enjoy its versatility over all. I am intrigued by the new Special Edition Silverado which looks similar to the Avalanche, but with only 49K I will keep it for a while and maybe buy a used special edition after some good reviews, if any. Until that time I will continue to thoroughly enjoy the Hybrid Truck/Suv with the excellent ride and outstanding good looks. ^_^

Comfort, style, value. Avalanche LTZ has it all.

I picked up a used 2011 LTZ for 4k under book value because of high mileage, with zero regrets I feel like it's worth even more. Hands down the best car or truck I've ever owned. The closest thing I can compare the interior to was my 04 cadillac deville DTS. Never had remote start before and it's great that it senses the temp automatically turning on heated or cooled seats. Mine already had an alpine system and tint done so I feel like it couldn't be any better. Highly recommended!

Most exciting vehicle I have ever Driven.

Wasn't a truck driver until I purchased the Avalanche. Fell in love with the style and design of the 2007 and up models. Drove a 2009 LS for 3 years and just moved up to the 2011 LT. Although a little disappointed about losing some storage space, the interior of the LT makes it livable. Had to do some traveling to find the one I wanted and keeping within my budget but very satisfied with purchase. Lower gas prices now, makes it even more enjoyable to own.
