Avalanche thoughts? (reviews) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for a truck to replace my Safari van. Not finding much bad about the Avalanche. Its got pros and cons of course due to its layout but I think it would work for my needs. Pulling a small travel trailer, dump runs, camping getting to hiking trails.
Might go see one tomorrow, anything I should look for?
This one is a Z71 4X4, 5.3. 170K
Any thought appreciated.

Well I loved the one I had. Wished I would have never gotten rid of it

I like to call them a suburban with an open bed. The folks I know that have had one or have one, love them. Only thing bad I have heard regularly with them is the black plstic parts fade badly. You really have to keep up with the magic stuff to keep them looking nice like TKCR's.

Yep the Body Amour, was what I liked best about the Avalanche. It was so easy to keep clean. I was pretty OCD when it came to keeping my Body Amour looking good.

Well who knows, the party has not returned my e-mail or phone call.
Price was good, maybe too good?
Thanks for the reply's!
