Bought my '08 Z-71 with 35k miles in 2011. The clock now reads 201,xxx on the original engine and transmission. It’s obviously had some repairs given the mileage, but I don't have any regrets.

Better than a truck

For those who don't need a truck all the time, but need one occasionally the Avalanche is a perfect fit. It is built on a Suburban frame so it rides much more smoothly than a truck. The bed can be made into an 8 footer and makes a great bed for camping trips with the seats folded down. Very good build quality. GM makes good trucks and SUVs, my previous vehicle was a Tahoe.

Just knocker over 30K on mine. Based on the Suburban platform, this is a great truck for those that need the occasional hauling space and have the need for 5 passengers. The ability to lock up or hide what in the back is great for us city dwellers. This is a great highway vehicle.
I must be the lucky one

I purchased this 08 LTZ in early '10 with 16k on it. its pulled albeit over its rated capacity my boat to and out of the water without any issues ever. been on parts of the Rubican Trail that didn't have too big a boulders to get over. it now has over 130k still with no major issues. Dash cracked around 50k - JB plastic weld and vinyl repair patterning fixed that. Nav went out around the same time, thought it just needed new disc but just wouldn't read disc. $1600 to replace, thank you smart phone technology. Chrome started coming off door handles..was surprised to see my dealership just replaced them during last maint. one wheel sensor gone bad. one oil pressure sensor, one auto mirror retract motor gear. and maybe 3 sets of tires. gonna replace headlight covers pretty soon as they are now cracking from the vegas sun. Still seems to run and sound like it did when I first purchased it.

My first American vehicle in about 15 years. I bought Toyota in the past and was hard pressed to pass one up this time. Buying the Avalanche was the best move I could have made. In my opinion the quality is better than the Toyota and the interior design is far better than the Tundra. You are making a mistake if you do not look at Chevy. They have won me over.
