2002 Chevrolet Avalanche Reviews, Pricing & Specs

It's a versatile proven workhorse of a truck, rides like an SUV and carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Seats five very comfortably with plenty of power around town, or highway speeds. I can't believe that Chevrolet stopped making them!

I love the functionality of this truck! Great off-road performer given its comfortable street ride. Tons of great features, like the built-in tool boxes in the bed, and the bed that can extend into the cab by pulling out the back glass and folding down the back seats. The standard 3 piece bed cover is great for hauling stuff you want to keep out of the elements. I added a 6in. suspension lift and 35" tires, and it changed the whole look of the truck!

Painted Midnight Blue metallic with the light grey cladding. Power sunroof, XM radio, deluxe audio, grey leather. Deluxe everything, heated power seats, and power mirrors. The Z71 model with AWD, 4W lo, 4W hi. Best darn truck I ever owned.

Very versatile and comfortable (many luxury items). Chevy in their infinite wisdom decided to use subpar steel and these cars are very prone to rust (not just fenders but frames, brake, BRAKE LINES!!). Very reliable engines, weak transmissions and way undersized brakes. These problems are possibly only GEN 1 (2002-2006) issues as I have not owned or even driven the GEN 2 (2007-2013). You would have to look at a crew cab LB truck to get somewhat near the functionality. Gas milage sucks as does many of its piers from that age. This improves in the latest gen. Not sure why Chevy decided to end this great design.

The avalanche is a great truck that has been very reliable for me. I wish it would get better gas mileage. I would buy another if the mileage improved. The ride and handling are great! Great in the Colorado snow and ice.

Ride- is great the wife and I like the toys it has. She says it rides smooth like a full size car, but with the vision of a truck. The extra rear doors make it easier to put in a child's car seat. I personally like the idea of having the panels to cover the box and I can fold down the rear seat for extra length and keep out natures elements. I spoke to a few owners and the major problem is the compass/temp interior mirror doesn't work have you priced one?... about $300. Cdn. and non existent at the car recycler only repairs was tires,brakes and a u-joint(rear rear).. If that was the worst, I can live with it,the mileage in town w/the 5.3 is 14.7 mpg. which I'm happy with, I didn't expect it to be that great. Hwy mpg. haven't checked yet. Fantastic to drive and turns a lot of heads. By the way I'm a second owner.

Good truck. Built on the suburban platform, so it Drives and rides great. The performance is quite good for such a big truck. I just wish it was not invisible to the idiots in subcompacts who want to get run over by it.

Love this Truck! It is great when i drive it to work. the acceleration is amazing and the braking and handling are impeccable. the truck is so much fun to drive, it has amazing pick up! LOVE This Truck so Much.

Truck has a lot of power. but drives heavy. great 4 wheel drive can do alot of things for what it is. i would get the 2500 version if i got another one. but all in all i love the truck!!!1

The Chevy Avalanche has to be one of the best vehicles that GM has rolled off the assembly line. This truck has very comfortable seating of up to 5. The Avalanche also has a nice bed to haul your quad, dirtbikes, or even mulch. Hauling is important, but the vehicle is a BEAST hauling. The Chevy Avalanche will tow pretty much anything to hook up to it. Off road, this truck is a pure bread BEAST. Not only is it a performer, but it has awesome looks, and tons of accessories you can add to make it meet your standards.
