2002 Chevrolet Avalanche

Pros: - truck when needed - SUV when needed - comfortable all the time

Cons: - big truck, lots of room for little rattles - gas, phew the gas!

The Bottom Line: Totally love this truck. Been a long time since I owned one, and couldn't be happier with my decision!

Review: 2002 Chevy Avalanche Z71 - Black/Black My wife and I picked up our 2002 Chevy Avalanche in September this year (2004) We bought it used with 34,000 miles on it, and for already being 3 years old we couldn't believe how brand new this truck still ...

Pros: Great performance, smooth shifting, car-like handling, unlimited acceleration, multipurpose and great features

Cons: Mileage

The Bottom Line: If you want reliability, adaptability and security of your investment on the road, the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche is the right answer.

Review: Even if you are behind the wheels of this truck and get into a crash, I will not worry about you. You will walk out and start helping the injured in the other vehicle. That's the impression I got after driving this truck.

The 2002...

Pros: You feel like Tango and Cash in their indestructible SUV.

Cons: Mileage, striking fear in the hearts of other drivers.

The Bottom Line: If you have the means, buy and enjoy. It is fun to see others looking up and trying to figure out who is driving this beast.

Review: Another concept vehicle has made its way from the auto show circuit to interfere with your daily commute. The only difference is that I wouldn't recommend that you cut this one off.

After spending some time in the cockpit of the North Face...

Pros: Highly versatile. Cool Styling. Quiet, roomy and luxurious interior. Smooth ride.

Cons: Low fuel efficiency. Too much plastic on the dash and center console.

The Bottom Line: The Avalanche truly is the best of both worlds. Those being the SUV and the Pickup Truck worlds.

Review: I will skip over the feature lists and such for the Avalanche and focus on the outstanding and the mundane, and compare to the competition.

The Interior:

Basically, as far as I can tell, there are no differences between the...

Pros: Quiet. Excellent ride. Very useful.

Cons: Shallow cargo box. Z71 Tire noise.

The Bottom Line: I'd buy another in a minute. And with people paying $1.50 for a pint of bottled water, is the gas cost really a big deal??

Review: Good - This is the best riding GM truck on the market. - Very quiet (except for the Z71 tires) due to separate cargo area, and the cladding blocking road noise. - No leaks in the bed. - After 49k miles, tons of tread left on tires. Wow. - While the ...

Pros: Versatility, room for the whole family

Cons: New model = working out the bugs

The Bottom Line: Definitely buy if you need a truck that can haul the whole family.

Review: When we decided to purchase the Chevrolet Avalanche, we had no idea how much the truck would interest our family and friends. We fielded an "avalanche" of questions from everyone about this vehicle.

THE DEAL:

Before Chevrolet...

Pros: VERY SMOOTH RIDE

Cons: SEEING OUT REAR

The Bottom Line: WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE AVALANCHE TO ANYONE REALLY LIKE MINE

Review: VERY GOOD HAS PLASTIC ON BOTTOM TO KEEP FROM GETTING LITTLE DINGS FROM THROWN ROCKS.HAS FOUR DOORS FOR GETTING IN AND OUT EASY.COMES WITH RUNNING BOARDS TO MAKE ACCESS EASIER. VERY COMFORTABLE AND SMOOTH RIDE.HAS A LOT OF SAFETY FEATURE THAT HELPS KEEP...

Pros: 2 vehicles in one, large and safe, cool looking, ride is smooth.

Cons: gas mileage but love it so much I don't care!!!

The Bottom Line: 2 vehicles for the price of one!! Rides like a cadillac!! Great for the family, plenty of room everywhere!!

Review: With 2 boys and replacing my cramped chevy corsica I wanted something roomy. I walked into the showroom and fell in love with the Avalanche. With the sticker price at 37,000 I asked if there were options to get rid of to bring the price down.
...

Pros: BOLD STYLING, POWER, VERSATILITY, RELIABILITY, CHEVY TRUCK LONGEVITY

Cons: THERE ARE NONE TO REPORT

The Bottom Line: It's perfect for those who want the utility and comfort of an SUV, ride and handling of a sedan, and capabilities of a pickup truck, and much more.

Review: The most dependable, longest-lasting trucks from Chevy.
It's no wonder that Americans love their Chevy trucks. They're the most dependable, longest- lasting trucks on the road. Chevy continues to offer America's most complete line of trucks which...

Pros: Great Car- Great Truck

Cons: Passes everything except a gas station

The Bottom Line: Most people use a truck 15% of the time. The rest of the time it needs to be a good passenger car. The Avalanche is very good in both categories

Review: I have driven my avalanche for about 12,000 miles and I am very happy with it. I use it as a car most of the time, but it comes in handy on those trips to Home Depot and to haul around DJ equipment. Power is great. Gas Mileage is a pretty steady 15 on...
