What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500

"Bet you wish I was selling"

"Owned this baby since new in 01. Only vehicle I have ever loved for more than 2 or 3 weeks. My family will have to sell this after they pry the keys from my cold dead hands."

"Just sold"

"Was a wonderful truck and very little maintenance was needed oil change every 5k and regular service as needed. Paint excellent but was garaged at office and home. Arizona sun did not affect the paint so excellent paint from factory. If you could find a used one well taken care of would recommend. We pulled a 2 horse trailer never a problem correct axle ratio 372 for it. Gas miles about 18 in town 22 or better hwy. I could go on and on. We bought a new truck a year ago and decided we needed to see the chevrolet. We wanted another avalanche but stopped making them in 2017 so we would have had to find a used one in 2019 so we ended up with a gmc truck new."

"Fantastic Truck"

"I have owned this truck for 6 years.It is equipped with the Z-66 package.Never had any problems with it .Not great gas mileage ,but what do you expect from a vehicle that weighs what this truck weighs.Most comfortable vehicle that Ive ever had.And that includes a Cadillac once.I also own a Ford . Not even close to this vehicle.Go buy you one and then compare it to other trucks you have owned.This vehicle is in a class of its own.Its the Cadillac of all the big trucks on the market today."
