What a great truck! It's is 20 years old with 300,000 miles and has been super reliable. I did the transfer case pump rub fix a few years ago and new rear axle seals and bearings. These were the only major repair items on a then 17 year old truck, with 300K miles! The mid gate is great for hauling full sheets of plywood and ladders. Bose sound system sounds very good. The Z71 package goes through just about anything, ice, snow, muddy fields. The ride is incredible for a "pickup" better than most new trucks and certainly more dependable. Just avoid the GM models after 2006 with active fuel management. My buddy is going on his third engine and transmission with under 200K miles on his 2011. This is my second 2004 Avalanche. The first Avalanche is still going strong, but a complete rust bucket. I use it for ice fishing in Minnesota and it still crashes through 4ft snow drifts without getting stuck. If you find a clean one, get it rust proofed and do the annual treatments to keep it mostly rust free. Manageable problems include the transfer case pump rub issue, problems with the HVAC actuators, cluster issues (got mine rebuilt for $150), plastic cladding fading ( I shot mine with rustoleum, looks great) and the typical GM rust. The truck is very simple to service and perform maintenance repairs on, even for the guys with vice grips and screw drivers for tools.

I kove this combination of the midgate, was looking at the Ford X150. After, my Account told me to look at the Avalanche, I know why he my Account he does his homework and look at the number. Don't thing the Ford X150 is a nice pickup. The midgate on the Alavanche is the deal maker. It my daily driver how. Had a Big Range Rover, great ride; but was a big family wagon, not a useful 3th vehicle for my family. Also, have a Mecerdes sl for nice sunny day and weekend drives. Range Rover was a nice vehicle with a great ride. However, the Alvanche is so many type's of vehicle in one package. Brought may 2 year old 73,000 miles on it. Getting ready to buy another one a 2007 or 2008 like the new body
Great truck, but...

This truck is absolutely great. The ride is surprisingly comfortable, and it is plenty of room for my entire family. I have had two problems that the dealership can not fix, but are not a major problem because I am the only one who drives. The memory seats do not retain their settings, and the CD repeat feature does not work as expected. It seems to play all the tracks up until you hit repeat. The first problem is only a nuisance if my wife happens to hop in to take it for a spin since we are on opposite ends of the height scale.

truck is used for trips to florida and for towing of our 24 ft boat. very comfortable and a joy to drive, even while towing. although it seems to use more fuel then i would like, its worth it. very quite ride. the storage comportments are very handy and being able to lock up our dive gear in the bed is handy also.
