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

'08 White Diamond Avalanche LTZ

I love this truck--and yes, I'm a girl! I just bought my Avalanche after months of looking around and comparing other SUVs and trucks. Overall, I really liked the Avalanche's versatility as an SUV/truck combo. I must say, though, that Chevrolet's use of the White Diamond exterior paint is what put me over the top. This truck is absolutely gorgeous--the cashmere leather interior and the 20" chrome wheels & chrome accents really make this truck a showgirl! If you are looking to purchase an Avalanche, I suggest you spring for the LTZ package. You won't be sorry you did. All the extra features are really nice and make the whole driving experience enjoyable.

Kansas 08 Avalanche LT

Can honestly say this is most comfortable truck I have ever driven. I have only ever owned Dodge and cross shopped this with the new crew-cab Ram. The Avalanche drives as well as the Ram even with its new coil rear suspension. The Avalanche interior is very sophisticated - more SUV than truck.

My normal car to haul my wife and three kids in is our Buick Enclave, but it is made for comfort instead of utility. Now, with my Chevy Avalanche, I can load all things we take to the pool inflated and in the truck bed. Also, I am not so worried about getting into a nicer vehicle still wet from the pool. We can all go grocery shopping together and buy way more in bulk with way more room to haul it all home. I now wish I had purchased this truck when it was brand new, but at least I found one in great shape for a bargain. Since they are easy and cheap to work on, I may even buy a second one in four years when I retire!
