Used 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche Consumer Reviews
2007 LTZ 4X4
Absolutely love it. Purchased with every option except the power- retractable (BRS) running boards. Used it the first week to haul shelving with 8' particle boards. Interior fit and finish is superb and is really beyond anything Chevy has had to date. Backup camera is a great option. Haven't needed the heated windshield washer yet, but the side mirror defrosters have come in handy. The locking storage wells on the bed sides are a great idea and very pratical. The bed cover is easy to remove and install, suprisingly light and tight fitting. Left the truck out during a steady rain for six hours and no water leaked into the truck bed. Very quiet and smooth on the road.
SURPRISES
I have owned 3 Avalanche trucks Nice looking with a great ride a real beautiful truck, but constantly replacing TPMS systems, adjustible back and seat pressure is gone, 04 had a flabby steering wheel, the stabili trac went out on 2 of them and now I have an 07 LTZ with oil leak and had everything replaced seals gaskets et all and it still leaks 50c size drops and I can smell it all the time (no smoke) My mechanic said it would cost about $1500 to fix the leak and there is no guarantee it would work due to some wear to affected area. I get compliments all the time on the look and features but the above mentioned problems leave me feeling ill. I can't afford a new vehicle at this time but sure would like to say good bye to this one.

Love-Hate Relationship!!
Just got my 07 LTZ its been in the shop 4xs in 6mths!!! Back-end rebuilt 2xs along with misc fixes. Then replaced the air-ride compressor. Back again for axel, bearings, and alternator. NOW it wont start and I'm being told it could be an "electrical issue". I'm so over this chevy! Thank god I have my lexus to rely on! What sucks is as soon as I get back in the truck, I love it! I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship! Do your homework on this truck for sure!! Don't get suckered by looks and comfort - it will let you down time and time again!!

Completely Satisfied
Went looking at Silverado Classic, but after test drives it was too good to pass up. Much better in every way compared to the Colorado Crew Cab we traded in. Ride was smooth, and quieter at highway speeds. Turning performance and radius is better, with less body lean. Fuel economy is good, averaging 15 city and 20 highway just like the estimates. The interior is well layed out with easy to read guages. The steering wheel audio and cruise controls are excellent features. Visibility is good front and sides, but rear visibility is poor due to the tailgate height, the rear camera would be a nice feature to have. Overall a great move up from the Colorado, wife and I both love this truck!
Not Happy
Transmission went out at 40,000 miles. I have had in shop 4 times for rattles and grinding noise in steering column. They never got it fixed and I have given up on the dealership. I had 03 model and the interior was better on it. This one seems cheaper made and less comfortable.
