"This should be last vehicle and I will keep it as long as I can. A big ride, comfortable, durable, and versatile when needed. I have the Z71 package and its everything I need and want. Drives like a car and works like a big chevy truck."

"This is my second Avalanche. I'm very proud of my decision to purchase this vehicle. The ride is smooth and comfortable. It doesn't ride like a pick up, it rides like a luzury car. I traded a 2009 Avalanche for the Black Diamond 2013 Avalanche both LTZ. I love them both. I didn't have any trouble out of the 2009. I had regular OLF changes and I put 97,500 miles on it. I wanted the Black Diamond because of the great look it has and it was the last edition. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get one if I waited any longer expecially since my 2009 was getting close to 100K. I got good value for my 2009 trade and I am in love again with my new White Diamond Tricoat Black Diamond edition of the 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche."

"I bought one of the first ones back in 10/01 drove it 140K mi. over 9 years, traded it in on 2010 Silverado and immediately regretted it. Traded the Silverado in on 2011 Avalanche and was so glad to be back in the Avy, drove it for 13K mi. no issues at all. Heard the bad news of the Avalanche being discontinued and traded the 2011 for the 2013. The Avalanche has NEVER let me down and has always done everything I have ever asked of Truck. Excellent ride + Truck Utility + SUV + Luxury + Reliability = AVALANCHE I am very sad about GM dropping this one of a kind SUT."

My Second Avalance - Sorry to See Them Go

"Our 2002 Avalanche needed a new transmission after 190,000 miles. It's not our primary vehicle but we had to decide whether to put $3,000 into that truck or buy a new one. Man, am I glad that we got the 2013. We loved the 2002 but the new Avalanche is unbelievable. All of the comforts of a Tahoe but 10 grand less in price. I'm a tall guy and I love the comfort. Probably the last time I'll be able to get something like this. Still, I'm going to be sad to see the old one go. Put an ad on craigslist to sell it, as is, 190K miles, bad transmission for $3500 and I am getting killed with e-mails to see it. Might have to rethink the price and ask for more. Hoping to make this one last for a LONG time."
