2006 Chevy Avalanche

This is a very reliable truck. Gets me to Lake Tahoe and back to bay area weekly. Through the snow as well as freeway traffic. Very safe truck, will keep forever! Wish I could go back to 2006 when it was new!

I love my avalance

To me it's been a good truck! And to other owners before me were pleased. I have had it over 3 years! Gonna feel sad when I have to let it go to get a new truck! I've looked at other newer avalanches. None of them have less miles on them like my 06!!

Still running strong more than 13 years. So sorry Chevy people decided to stop making this model. Enjoyed long road trips. Really don’t have a plan on what I will do when it comes time to say goodbye

Best vehicle I have ever owned

This is an amazing vehicle which I am sad GM dropped from their line. This truck has never disappointed and is so mechanically sound I have not purchased or desired another vehicle since I bought it in 2005! GM bring this truck back!

Unique Sport utility Truck

The Chevy Avalanche 1500 Z71 is a very unique truck. I hated Chevrolet quite producing them in 2014. Everywhere i travel i look for the Avalanche , on the average i see about 8 per day. I dread the day when I have to part with, because of knowing that there wont be any. The greatest feature of this truck in the ability to lock the tailgate and bed. The side compartments are a great creature feature as well for locking up cargo. Comfortable seating for 5 and all have good visibility out front and side windows.

Greatest Vehicle

Never had a problem with this truck. Routine maintenance and it runs like a champ 13 years later! Enjoy driving everyday. Trust this vehicle on short or long trips. Best purchase I have ever made. Chevy should bring it back.

Most Reliable Truck Ever!

I have owned Ford trucks all my life until I took a chance in 2005 and purchased my Avalanche because of the features. It is 9 years and 11 months later and my Avalanche has been the most reliable truck I have ever owned. Thanks Chevrolet.

Great towing vehicle

My 2006 avalanche 2500 has been a solid vehicle for me. Besides a transmission rebuild at 100k it has been free of major problems. The 8.1L engine is strong and tows my 9000lbs camper like a dream. Even uphill I rarely crack 4000rpm. Over the years some minor issues have popped up. The factory used cheap brake lines and I have replaced them as they pop starting at 90k. The fuel sending unit needed to be replaced ($700) at 95k.quite a few of the steering wheel button lights no longer illuminate. Now at 110k I'm thinking I need a few suspension parts replaced. All the things I listed aren't over what I would consider expected costs of a vehicle of its age and mileage. The only negative is certainly the gas mileage (around 11mpg) thats what I get for having an 8.1L engine I guess. Overall I would highly recommend this vehicle.
