Review | 2007 - 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche - The Best Pickup Truck
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Welcome to Garage Denali! In this video I do a review of a 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. The second generation Chevrolet Avalanche was produced from 2007 - 2013 and is very similar to its sister trucks, the Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade.

Best truck I've ever owned. It was such a shame when they discontinued this truck. BRING IT BACK ✌
They're bringing it back, it's called the electric Silverado with the fold down midgate and the classic side sails
@@ibfrdb They need to actually bring it back, as it was, with all the clever modularity. Without it being a freaking ev

Wake up, progress is moving ahead and you’re on the side line, whining and crying.
@@lumberjackdreamer6267and your trolling, into totalitarian “progression”.
@@rio.escobo sorry, can you clarify? What do you mean?
If you don't take out the rear window just the lower section opens up, so you can use the full 8 foot bed and keep things covered and secure. Also good for easy car camping, I stick an airbed in the back, I'm laying under the bed covers, my head is in the cab, you have radio and ac, it's great.
I lived in my '07 Avalanche for over a year doing exactly this.
Theres a tent add on for it. Turns the bed into a campsite condo, lol.

@@chriseudy4684 what do you mean
Picked up a 2008 Avalanche last week. Only had 40K miles on it! Had to drive from Boise to Portland to pick it up. LTZ model. All black. Love it!
May I ask the price? I’ve been browsing myself and any with low mileage they want close to $25k-$30k
@@capcitysmoker I paid 20k for mine. That was the asking price and they wouldn't budge. I said ok its not a need. 10 minutes later and they called back and offered me $2500 more for my trade in. So here we are 6 months later. I put a new exhaust system on it (magna flow muffler), a CAI, Changed most of the lights to LED and put a Sport tune on the truck with a Diablo I3 tuner. Love my truck!
@@capcitysmoker Sorry I thought I replied to this. It was 20K
@@michaelavalos3793 did the sport tune give you more power or better gas mileage?
@@AlanTrades yes more power and better shifting but gas mileage stayed the same. Best thing I was able to turn off the DOD.
Love my 2007 z71 avalanche. One of my favorite vehicles I’ve ever owned! Had it for two years and have put over 40k miles on it....she’s at about 170k now, still runs like a sewing machine!
Lmao. a sewing machine huh!! How the fuck do you compare a truck to a sewing machine???
Have you had it in bad winter weather? My job makes me exempt from road shut downs due to snow and ice, so I need something very reliable.
Have you seen the video of an 07 4X4 pulling a new Dodge 4X4 backwards? I think the Dodge was a 2017.. all 4 wheels pulling on both trucks. The Dodge just couldn't handle it!
I have an '09 LT, loaded. Perfect truck/SUV. It is classified as an SUV, because it is built on the Suburban chassis. Like Isaid, it's the perfect truck, because it is convertable. You can carry full sheets of plywood home, dry, in pouring rain, because of the mid gate. Mine is an LT, but has the same package as the LTZ. Full leather, Bose sound, DVD player, split front climate, rear climate, sun/moon roof, etc...GM needs to bring this back. Plenty of power, and 11,700 lb towing capacity. I love mine! Find you one...you will love it!
Question I’m about to buy an 09 LT . I seen on the key fob you can start it from the fob . Did yours come with remote start or did you have to do aftermarket.
@@bigdaddydiesel1740 Just recently got a 2011 Z71, absolutely love it so far. The remote start is factory if you have the 4-button fob, unfortunately I can't use mine yet as I need to fix my engine light first.
Going to pick up Avalanche LTZ 143k I’m excited. My 04 Ford F-150 is dying and I need to continue making money so, I’m reading it’s a Great truck ❤
My favorite truck of all time
It's like a super sized elcamino
banga8080 well... kinda
Avalanch never came with a 5.7 L it came with a 5.3
Slip of the tongue. Thank you for the correction
Came with an 8.1 litre as well..
Really I've never seen an 8.1. I've seen the 6.0
Weston Mavis UA-cam IT!
8.1L Avalanche came as an option on the 1st Gen. I was a gas guzzler!! I had a chance in buying one with low miles but upon knowing the horrible gas millage. I bought an 09 Avalanche Instead.
Just bought a 2008 6.0 V8 4x4 today to take to the beach here in Florida and to haul some stuff from time to time. Black on Black just like in your video.
How much did you pay and mileage, trim? Avg mpg?
Tanja Momo how is your Avalanche holding up?
@@stevencovington9508 we rebuild the engine after we bought it and we still love it.
Awesome I'm looking to get one
@@knowledge5106_ Go for it. We love ours we put a super loud exhaust on ours and it sounds like a beast now.
I agree a avalanche is the coolest truck
Hopefully the Chevy avalanche can make it come back I have been in a Chevy ambulance 2013 and it's a beautiful truck
Good video man, I know its some years old but it sure covers lots of facts. Very helpful for me who's jumping into an 07 Avalanche in a couple of weeks.
I’m bout to buy a 07 avalanche I am super excited
@@sonseraehonaker4128 You will love this truck. I’m still discovering features on my LTZ, they come loaded with many things.
My dad has an 09 LS 4x4 with the 6 speed auto and it’s a really nice truck. Still runs and drives with 170,000 miles on the original engine, drivetrain and transmission.
I have the exact same truck but the 09 year. Love it to death I could actually drive it the rest of my life and not want any other truck and be completely fine with that.
I have the 05 Cadillac Escalade ext with the 6.0, gas mileage 8.8 city, 13 highway. But who really cares about milage... it's a truck with 6.0... I will love and drive forever . Also has the Bermuda blue-effect tri coat paint, flips from blue to purple and green...
I would love to keep mine until I'm dead amd gone! The perfect truck for EVERYTHING!!!!
Mine is an '09 with the flex 5.3 liter. Plenty of power and universally usable! Rides like a Cadillac!
I own a 2010 white avalanche and I love it.
Pretty cool vehicles
Me too! 2009. Loaded LT. Beautiful truck/SUV!
I had this exact truck. 2007 Avalanche LTZ black on black with the 5.3. Great truck. I now have the gentleman's version known as the Escalade EXT. It's a 2008 with the tri-coat pearl white and black interior. 6.2 with all wheel drive.
Owened a 2002 z71, 2011 ltz and now still driving a 2013 black diamond ltz. Absolutely the best truck ever
My mom had one until she wrecked it about a week ago, thing saved her life. Now we're buying two more, one for her and one for my first vehicle. Absolutely love them.
EXACTLY I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY AVALANCHE AND IVE HAD IT SEINCE 2006 AND ITS GOT 234000 MILES AND STILL DRIVES LIKE A CHAMP
It’s twin is the Cadilac Escalade ext
I am glad that I purchased a 2013 Cadillac Escalade Ext, the last year for these vehicles and in my opinion, the best and most versatile vehicle there is.
Did you do any maintenance or upgrades to it?
Spotted that USMC Badge in the back window, Semper Fi to the owner! Mine is in almost the same spot!
4:56 You can see the EXT escalade in the background the avalanche twin classy brother
Good eye!
The Hummer H2 SUT is the trashy Jersey Shore cousin
dang, good catch
I have one it’s sweet truck get a lot of complement on it.
Same just got an 05 it’s clean man
Excellent review! Very well thought out and got all the history correct. I’m a huge enthusiast if the Avalanche.
I have a 2010 Chevy Avalanche, LT Texas Edition. Pros - big, decently powerful, good storage, decently reliable, good mpg on highway. Cons - this model along with tons of other GM models is affected by bad traction control systems, mine has gone out twice in 100,000 miles. Brakes are a little weak for such a big vehicle, running lights burn out like most GM trucks/SUV’s do, very plastic based and cheap interior, and a gas hog in the city
Haven't had any of those problems, mine came from San Antonio TX..great shape! Knock on wood...
Pretty truck. I have an 03 white totally stock 5.3l lm7 z66 stock rims and all. Love em!!
I own an '02 with 286k now that my kids have inherited as their college vehicle. I just traded my '07 that had 220k for an '11 that has 83k. Needless to say, I love these trucks. They are built on the suburban chasis with the same brakes, tranny, engine, etc. - just a bed instead of "internal" storage & a 3rd seat. I put on 25-35k miles/yr & nothing scoots down the interstate as smoothly as these guys & I get around or better than 20 mpg.
I've pulled many trailers, put a stack of 10 full 8' sheets of drywall in the bed area with the tailgate shut (did it in the rain, my dad was flabergasted), and with the panels out the bed is designed specifically to haul a 4 wheeler atv.
GM needs to pull their head outta their rear & bring this truck back - I don't want an Escalade. I'm not a "Cadillac" type of guy (not that there's anything wrong with that), I'm just a Chevy guy & very comfortable with that. This was the perfect truck for 80% of the people driving around currently in 1/2 ton trucks... they just don't realize it, cause it came out originally with that toyish looking body cladding & the rollbar. Well - the rollbar is supposedly one of the reasons that it typically gets slightly better gas mileage than the silverado & the funny thing about the body cladding - as much as I didn't like it at first, it completely protected my quarter panels from the same areas that all my old trucks would start getting rust from rock chips (I live on gravel). The '02 is still a gorgeous looking truck with 286k, and has less rust than a lot of other trucks with less than half the miles.
Great truck - shame it came to it's demise...GM, bring this truck back!
I was wanting one, UNTIL I realized the towing capacity for most of these is 5500 pounds. You need special equipment installed to get the 8000 pounds and that is hard to find. If you find a 2002-2006, you can get a avalanche 2500 that tows 10k-12k pounds.
Mine has an 11,700 lb towing capacity. LT, loaded. 5.3 V8.lt's an '09, 2WD...originally from San Antonio TX. I think it was used on a Ranch. I'm in central Alabama. Very nice truck, with plenty of power. Wouldn't trade it for the world!
Love my 2007 239 thousand miles and still going
Any transmissions or engine issues???
Nope not at all
I agree I have a 03 avalanche and I love it it’s an amazing truck not too bad on gas you can carry almost anything with it mine is a six seater so the middle Consol for me it’s an extra seat and I can fold it down for a consul as well it’s a great truck
I have a 2006 EXT AWD 6.0. and the best thing i've come across is how easy it is to repair. from shocks to the entire front end suspension. and the parts are not very expensive due to the fact that they re common chevy parts. I've personally changed the hubs, CV joints/ axles, shocks, ball joints, brake calipers, parking sensors, Mass air flow sensor, spare tire winch, bed covers, reupholster the seats, belts and pulleys. updated the radio with android auto and bluetooth compatibility, and it was all relatively easy and quick. and cost less than $1000. $928 to be exact. granted I did the work myself. my only issue is gas mileage. I went rom 9.9 MPG to 11.8 MPG after I replaced the MAF sensor. still low but better. suppose to be 13 MPG. and now I have a small oil leak that only leaks under heavy pressure. but doesn't leak when parked. And small Rust bubbles forming at the rear wheel wells.
Best truck of all
Woah! I never knew that about the back seat.
Yup these avalanches can last a long time just by doing your basic maintenance my 03 is going on 400k miles
That’s nice to hear I just got a 05 with 185 runs and sounds great owner kept it up
@@nateprejean9360 HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR IT? I'M EYING A 2007 LTZ WITH 176K ON IT. LOOKS GREAT.
@@Feverishkiller I bought a really clean 04 avalanche ls 4x4 with 170k miles for 4K. I would say anything under 6.5k is a good deal depending on the trucks condition especially the way car prices are right now.
Yup my 02 lasted to 411k but it took two trany builds to get there. It's been parked in my driveway for three years now waiting on a 4L80 and then a creat 500 something HP to power it. :)
Happy trails traveler
The cylinder deactivation is what ruined the reputation of GM. If I bought a 2007-13 Avalanche, I would delete the AFM system entirely.
I don't think it works very often. I mainly drive mine on the highway/Interstate. Never noticed it actually working. I know that you aren't supposed to notice it working, but I would have noticed it by now, after 1 1/2 years...
My 07 avalanche has currently lost both low beam headlights... I'm trying to find out why.
BTW, I love my avalanche, it was one of 3 vehicle growing up I ever really wanted.
I thought these were really cool.when they came out, then in March of 2020, I became the owner of one! Love it!!! Loaded LT. White. Everything but cooled seats, 4x4, and 5.7 engine. Fantastic truck! Kyle previous truck was 1992 Ranger. I'm in heaven!!!
Great review, I wanna get an avalanche for my first car
Update 2yrs later: I got a ford ranger instead
xPandqGaming__ Same
You'll be spending a lot on gas
Not good first vehicles bit if you have alot of $$$$$ go for it but don't say I didn't warn you, good luck!
Great trucks very reliable. If u can keep your foot off pedal gas isn't too bad
Did you get it yet??
I own a loaded White 2011 Avalanche Z71 even has a sun roof. Great truck for what it is.
Best Chevrolet truck ever made 👌
Drive a 2013 Black Diamond Edition. 226k. Runs like a champ. Best truck. It’s like a jeep or like a suburban for long distance and like a truck. All bells and whistles.
I get mine tomorrow!!!! 😊😊😊 2011 Ltz!!! All black
208,000 miles n still runs strong! The trick to high mileage? Keep clean oil in it! and run good gas!
I just bought the same truck LTZ SAME COLOR BLACK BLACK INTERIOR RUNS GREAT JUST HAS 3 small problems like gas tank strap mount rotted out and rear bump stop rotted out so need a small frame patch and 1 frame mount gone but I payed $4,500 and it’s worth every penny
vern white do 2012 Ltz have any issues do they have any major issues
I knew it! I need an avalanche!!!
Get one! You will LOVE it! I do!
Slick looking truck. It's basically a Tahoe but pick up. I been wanting to get one of these but there too damn expensive. The front headlights and grill look aggressive and badass. How is the transmission treating you at 200k miles? Occasional fluid and filter change shouldn't leave you a problem.
It’s a suburban frame with the back chopped off
I have an 04, love that fuckin thing.
Why did they quit making them? Seems like a great vehicle.
Low demand
@@garagedenali not necessarily - it was more victim of reducing the quantity of models GM overall was offering. Actually the year (& the two prior to that) it was the #1 vehicle for loyalty; as in, I own a Brand/Model & I want to buy the same vehicle, just newer. The problem was, as GM was trying to consolidate models & with the removals of brands like Pontiac & Oldsmobile - the idea was that the avalanche was directly competing with another GM truck (almost identical twin Cady Escalade). They thought that the two vehicles' target-market was too close. Somebody that wanted a truck 1st, general purpose vehicle 2nd - would just buy a Silverado. But for somebody that wanted a great, smooth-ride, kinda "fancier than a truck" general purpose first, & the utility of a truck 2nd - Avalanche/Escalade. & the Escalade won the coin toss.
@@jseski9209 They stop Esc pickup truck too, so coin toss didn't matter
Money, they were just rebuilding after the bailouts and it basically came down to production costs. Demand wasn't as high and choices had to be made. I wish they'd reintroduce but if you notice the new Colorados are very Avi like.
Low towing capacity
LS - luxury sport
Lt - luxury touring
Ltz - luxury touring zed
Z71 - off-road
Simple 🤷🏾♂️
For sure! I just uploaded a video about why it’s the best and cheapest over-landing video
History lesson from our boy
Would I be able to turn this into a welding rig? How's the load capacity?
6000
The bed is welded on the body.
Mine has an 11,700 lb towing capacity. May be able to convert the bed, but not sure.
I saw an Avalanche yesterday with F-150 mirrors on it
New 150 mirrors?
@@nilsonc93 yeah
@@jaedan14 I'll put them on my avalanche. 👍
@@nilsonc93 nice
Which trim packages have the adjustable pedals? I need them since I'm so very short.
07 and up all models I believe
2007 & up ,I just baught my 2008 granite blue the best color ever,I'm excited 😊,sexy ass truck ,I love it.
Ls means luxury sport and Lt is luxury touring now the Z I'm not sure if it stands for anything
Josh Paredes "Z" refers to the GM "zero gravity supsension" that came before GM's magneride system
Josh Paredes Z is an RPO (Regular Production Option) code and Z71 was for the GM off road package, first offered on the 1987GM trucks. Among other things it consisted of off-road tires, an automatically locking rear differential, skid plates, and Z71 badges. That's where the now famous "Z28" designation came from on the Camero. It was the performance package designation.
fctuber yea but I ment if the z on the ltz if it actually had a word that started with a z , I just read the comment above I have never heard of the zero gravity thing before
Josh Paredes ya, I've never heard of that description either!
Josh Paredes lS cheap Version LT mid range LTZ(premiere) Whoah buddy can I get some of that cash?
Honest opinion take this truck or a v8 4runner?
Depends on what you're looking to do. What generation 4Runner? How long do you need it for? Towing?
A truck for towing a boat and a camper that will last you many years!
What is the weight of the boat and camper? I'd lean towards 4Runner if you're looking for something for many years
Please review the 1st gen as well
Basically the exact same, just looks a little different...
@@pg1171 I have a first gen. They have similar features but the 2nd gen doesn't get the 8.1L option, nor does it have heated leather seats I believe.
@@th4bl4ckm4nthey’ve been having heated seats since 2002
How is the car on gas? Is it a gas gussler? 2007 and or 2013 ver
I drive a 2008 Avalanche. It gets about 13 miles to the gallon and I'm at the gas station every other day pretty much. Takes about $60-70 to full her up, so as a college student that drives a lot, yeah she's a gas guzzler
Have a 2008 5.3L, had it for 5 years, I get 14.4 mpg average, always.
i have an 07 with brand new spark plugs i get about 15 mpg. also in college, takes about $40 a week at $2.40 for me
2007 to 2010 it had a four speed transmission but, 2011-2013 had a six speed transmission. So that kinda affects mpgs
don't need to fold rear window down to fold down the midgate
Thanks for the video.
I'm getting one of these. I thought of a challenger but I need something higher
I'm 6'2", and still use the running boards to get in...
Another million miles no problem. lolol That's a good one.
I'm looking to buy one with 160,000 miles but I'm nervous that it'll be a waste money..does anyone think it's a good or bad idea
These trucks are notorious for oil consumption. If that problem hasn't been addressed I'd avoid them
I've got a 2008 ltz 125000 on it. I've towed a 4000 lb trailer from the east coast to west coast. And a Chevy Equinox from west coast to east coast. No problems at all. 5.3 V8. Great engine.
@@garagedenali how would you correct the oil consumption problem before it arises
Depends on how well it was maintained before you. William h how did it do on trans temp? Contemplating a our of state trip soon. Also 10$ on oil every couple of months isnt that big a deal for oil consumption
@@assantoyo1 never had an issue with oil consumption. I've got an oil change every 5,000 miles or so. I've done some preventative maintenance on the engine. Just had to change a belt. But besides that, everything has been running very well. I was told by the mechanic that these engines will last "for ever" if you treat them right. In the words of the mechanic when I had it looked at, at 100k.."You're finally stating to break in the engine" haha
Yep never offered with a 5.7 was either a 5.3 or a 6.0
Dont forget the 8.1.
Hi, which is better beetwen ford F150 and Avalanche?
Fernando Cordero Go with Avalanche
miguel 2005 thanks Miguel.
I have the avalanche and will say avalanche but because mine is loaded heated seats and folding heated mirrors, gas pedal adjustment. They have thought of everything but what separates it from any other pick up is the folding of the seats to give a full covered bed. So you can go buy full sheets of whatever and keep it dry. I am an elevator mechanic and don't really have to travel with that much stuff daily but when I am doing a project or moving the bed makes all the difference.
Lol I'm pretty sure hot wheels is a better brand than Ford. What a dumb question.
Need to tow more than 7000 lbs, get the Ford. Ford gets better fuel economy. Frequently haul construction material, get the Ford. Avalanche has a slightly nicer interior except the top trim F-150s, which are very expensive. Plan on using the back seat frequently, get the Avalanche. More concerned about a quiet comfortable ride, get the Avalanche.
Yeah I just got one of these last month 140 k miles on it lol
You Do NOT have to take the glass out. It was designed that way! You can haul whatever you can, with the bed covers in place, and the tailgate closed and midgate down. in pouring rain or a blizzard. It will not get wet! And it comes base eith a 5.3 liter (327) engine, not a 5.7 liter. I love mine, and wouldnt trade it for ANYTHING else! Too bad GM decided to stop producing the Avanche. And it is based on the Surburban. Not the Silverado or Taho. It is classified as an SUV. Not a pickup. Thank you!
Hey man you said it had a 5.7, don't do that! Next video, make sure to remove the bright yellow air freshener as it's an eyesore! Also, it's not like a suburban, it is a suburban that's been cut down!
You lost me at 5.7 liter
Wrong about the z71 skid plates
I got the 2011 LTZ model :)
I thought it was a review as of the vehicle not all talk.
Dont forget the 8.1l 3/4 ton.
The 2500 wasn't available in 2nd gen, sadly.
How does it do on snow and ice? I need to be able to run to work when the city says no one needs to be on the road.
With 4x4 and winter tires, I wouldn't think snow would be much of an issue
Spector103 as well as any 4x4, it has a low range transfer case and locking rear diff so I does pretty well
Snow's not an issue. I've gone through mountain roads fairly regularly. The only issue may be clearance as the front bumper' styling is kind of low to the ground, although it didn't cause any issues for me. The off-road package or an after-market would fix this. Obviously, tires make the biggest difference, I use studded.
I've seen a video oh here of an Avalanche 4X4 pulling an 18 wheeler up an icy hill...look it up...
I ran my Avalanche on Michelin all season passenger car tires in Northern Ontario Canada winters and never ever got stuck. Of course I can drive like few others but the 4auto feature is a marvelous option. Works when needed only.
It's November 2019 I bought 08 avalanche . My 08 Nissan Titan was totaled in an accident . The Titan had a 5.6 liter , the avalanche has a 5.3 liter . The Titan is 10 times better looking , better running , more power than the avalanche . I really loved and I do miss my Titan . My Titan was much better than the Avalanche ...
Sound like u want a another Titan, 2020 to be exact
Funny thing, Canadian here and I had an 02 Avalanche and absolutely loved it. Purchased from my uncle in 2010 and driven from 128,000km until 2023 and 337,000km. never burned a drop of oil and changed it every 6,000km. the body rusted badly due to salted winter roads and scrapped it while the power train was still A1. Bought an 08 Titan with 270,000km and loved it too! Great truck, lots of power but terrible fuel mileage! Loved the way the rear seats folded up to increase back seat storage. Smashed it up in an accident in Toronto 2 months ago and now |I'm buying another Avalanche. 2013 LTZ Z71 with 145,000km black on black. I really love these trucks and you will too, if you ever own one!
i love this truck my dad does not
Megacharzard10 Gameing why
My dad didn’t ether until he drove mine
Most people don't like the Avalanche till they drive it for a week or so, then most love it.
Def not a million mile truck
I need one bad
Yo cómo quisiera una de estas camionetas. Pero no tengo lana. Y el gobierno roba mucho.😩
5.7?! 5.3 or 6.0
5.3
My dad had 2 both over 300k km
z71 comes with 18" not 17"
first gen Z71 had 17" tires and a 16" spare.
20 inch rims. 5.3...
I heard these had a bad oil consumption issue
DUBcars411 never had the problem with my 07 160000 miles
Jeff Same with mine, so far so good!
Love my Avalanche, just had the dealer replace my dash board twice because it keeps cracking for reasons I don't know. However dealer replace it for free. Apart from that great truck!
Bad Pcv valve ....comes as one part with valve cover .Videos
On UA-cam about it.
DUBcars411 that is the 2500 with the 8100 (8.1 ltr) Vortec (or the 496 ci) motor. It has no PCV that is replaceable. It also has a 195°F thermostat installed in the motor. "So what" you may ask, well at the temperatures the motor will see using a 195°F thermostat will allow the oil to vaporize and dump out of the port in the engine that is part of the positive crankcase vent located under the intake (where temps run highest) out through the catalytic converter and you will never see any blue smoke!. Installing a 180°F thermostat lowers the temp enough that the oil quits vaporizing and no longer dumps overboard! About a $15 fix if you change it yourself. Another "quick fix" but a little more costly for you would be to switch to Mobile 1 synthetic oil as it now has a protective additive that stops the vaporizing of the oil.
Why not 04 to?
Where lowly at
You have a dent in the passenger side above the rear tire
@ 3:58 no dude not at all....i think anyone who knows Chevys or has had one knows that LTZ means fully loaded and Lt is base model...I've never even had a chevy and know that..but nice theory
Always be Smart LS is the base model
Yep
It doesn’t have a 5.7 , and doesn’t weigh 6000 pounds
02 Avalanche = 5.3 engine and 5800lbs. Z71
Aluminum engine (2005-), exhaust manifold bolts popping off, knock sensors faulty due to poor design, lack of engine power, tailgate latch sticks, faulty electronics specifically under the seat. At least it starts. My advice, get a Toyota Tundra.
There is no 5.7 engine
yes there is but just not in an Avalanche LOL
14mpg.
5.3
I'm not impressed with anything this guy is saying.
It's not a mix of an SUV and a Truck. It's a Truck with a crew cab and only seats 5, just like a Civic. An SUV like the Suburban seats 8, and the Tahoe has pull up back seats for 7.
Neither SUV has nearly the same potential for hauling things in the back like a truck bed does; even with the Avalanche's short bed. Likewise the truck bed isn't nearly as convenient for little things (such as groceries) as the trunk of an SUV. The extra weight from an SUV's roof makes them more prone to rolling too.
Just because something shares a chassis doesn't mean they're the same. If that were the case, my Jeep Commander wouldn't be nearly as shitty as it is compared to the Cherokee. thanks
I thought the same thing, this guys is BS
It all started back in 1908… un fucking necessary man I’m not watching.
I fucking hate the Chevy avalanche
cool. have you ever owed one?
You probably don't like much, then why are you here ?
