2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
- Review
-
I traded in my 2001 GMC Sierra 1500HD 4WD for this vehicle and I am very impressed. Chevy really did there homework. I got the 6.0L 4WD LTZ w/chrome pkg. (ie. loaded). It drives like a sedan with no problem getting into regular parking spaces. There was no way I could take my old truck where parking was a concern. It is quiet but with plenty of power. Extremely comfortable with a silky smooth ride. Midgate and side coolers are very functional. I did not have to buy an additional bedliner and fiberglass cap. No problem putting tall things in the back. This ride is smoother than my Corvette and much more refined than any other truck out there!
- Favorite Features
-
NAV, XM, DVD, remote start, car-like ride, rear-view camera, 20" chrome wheels, midgate, brute force power but a dream to drive!
- Suggested Improvements
-
Can't have front mudflaps with power steps. Small glove box. No CD holder in console. No extra storage for wireless headphones. Duramax diesel w/Allison transmission. Better gas mileage. Push button start like the Corvette.

The price tag was expensive, but it was well worth it. I got the chrome edition with 22" wheels. I love it! It drives like a car, but has the benefits of a truck. I recommend it a 100 times over. The fuel management system does save me a little gas too.

2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
- Review

I traded in my 07 Trailblazer SS for this vehicle. It rides far better and while it does not have the blazing fast speed of the SS, it does very well for a big truck and gets a lot better fuel economy than the SS did with it's LS2 Corvette motor. Still Adjusting the the size of it vs. the TrailBlazer, but overall am very happy with it. Got a great deal--almost 10,000 of the sticker and 0% financing to boot. I believe that I will be very happy with this vehicle.
- Favorite Features
-
LTZ package, rear back-up camera, Bose stereo, navagation system, excellent ride for a "truck"
- Suggested Improvements
-
5 speed or better transmission would help mpg's, standard dual exhaust on a truck at this level

- Review

I traded a 2007 Nissan Titan Crew Cab LE in on this vehicle, hands down this is a far better vehicle. It's rides and handle better than the F-150s I have own, and for me to say this about a Chevy, this is really saying something. What else can I say a great vehicle with great flexability.
- Favorite Features
-
Midgate, OnStar and the ability to use it like a truck.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Wind noise

2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
- Review
-
I thought long and hard before buying this vehicle. I compared it to the Cadillac EXT, Toyota Tundra Ltd, Ford F-150 King Ranch, Dodge TD, GMC 2500 Duramax TD w/ Allison6spd. In the end, all those other vehicles were just trucks. If what you really want is a truck, then buy the GMC or the Tundra, in my opinion. If what you want is really a very nice SUV with lots of bells & whistles that also doubles as a pickup truck, then the Avalanche is for you as it was for me. I have every toy you can get on this LTZ and I suggest you either get the LTZ or the LT3 w/Z71. No LTZ ride leveling on the LT3 though. No 4x4 in the Caddy available.
- Favorite Features
-
Midgate: no one else has this in a full-size pickup except the Cadillac EXT, which is the Avalanche LTZ w/ a slightly different body, no 4x4 & $10k more. Generous front cabin, big covered rear bed, smooth handling, spacious tool compartments, OnStar! they e-mail reports! Elec folding mirrors.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Larger glove box; the owner's manual won't fit. Optional console dividers. Quieter engine. 6 speed Allison auto transmission. Better mileage. Optional diesel. More rear knee room. Place for rear headphones. Console shift intead of on the steering column. Elec. rear window, easier tire replacement.

The 2008 LTZ is the most comfortable truck on the market. It has been a pleasure to drive and ride in. When your wife likes the mans toys "ie truck" then you know that you have made the right choice. Will be a pleasure to drive on long trips
- Favorite Features
-
Sat system, Bose sound system, rear seat entertainment system, the navagation system, chrome exhaust, cold air induction
- Suggested Improvements

They have improved the gas mileage from previous years but could be a little better

2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
- Review
-
I traded a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche for this 2008. I put 52,000 miles on my 2003 and only had to change the tires and one light bulb. The vehicle is great and I couldn't be more satisified with the new one. I was concerned about the low height of the front valance, but so far it has not been a problem. Also, I went from cloth seats to leather and was concerned about the change. However, I can't be happier especially when I turn on the heated seats in cold weather.
- Favorite Features
-
Auto ride suspension, versatility, comfort of heated leather seats. Gas mileage has increased to 17.5 over my old one of 15.5.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Bring back the 2nd light on the passenger side in the bed.

I traded my 04 TrailBlazer EXT for a 2008 Z71. It has much better gas mileage. Every feature you could ask for, comfortable ride. Looks great. Added some accesories, wind visors and bug guard. Plenty of leg room in front and back.
- Favorite Features
-
Interior design, all controls are easy to access. Storage compartment in center is huge.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Chevy should come out with a removable bed cap. Snugtop has one but it permanently mounts.

2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
- Review

Turned in our Suburban on a lease return and bought an Avalance. Black with two tone platinum interior LTZ loaded. Love this truck. The LTZ has everything you could want. Incredible interior with leather and lots of room. The exterior has a great design and love the custom grill and 20" wheels. The unique design as far as the way the back bed folds down and the back window come out is really an engineering marvel. get lots of looks in this truck, the black with the chrome accents really sets this truck apart. Can not wait to add some custom features I have already found. I was able to negotiate a great deal as well and GM is offering some really great incentives. 50 mile 5 year warranty wow
- Favorite Features
-
Warranty, classy exterior design, gorgeous interior, backup camera and sensor, crash rating, comfortable and roomy both up front and in the rear. Love the way you can drive around with the rear window out if you want. Lots of storage and the bed is actually over 4x8 feet for lots of toys or lumber
- Suggested Improvements
-
So far I can not really think of much. Maybe some additional compartments in the center storage unit like in the Cadillac and some type of coin holder.

2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
- Review
-
I traded a 2003 Z71 for a 2008 Z71. Many improvements, all for the better. This is a very dependable vehicle but components do go bad. There are so, so many that make it perform like it does I can't say enough good things about the 2008 Avalanche Z71. It is a go- getter. Although a little pricey the astute buyer can do his homework and negotiate smartly and save some money.
- Favorite Features
-
Subtle changes-exterior, chrome door handles, mid point chrome below grille, moving the Z71 to the pillar.
- Suggested Improvements
-
I miss the vinyl cladding. It really protects against stone chips, etc. With a little Vinyl cleaner/dressing the cladding looks brand new in a matter of minutes
