When I heard Chevy was dropping the Avalanche, I traded in my ‘10 Avalanche for a ‘13 Black Diamond vintage. It’s still my primary driver, and the Avalanche remains my favorite vehicle of all the vehicles I’ve owned. You said it: it my rolling Swiss Army knife. I have long advocated/lamented that GM erred by discontinuing the model, and that they should bring it back. If they build it, I would buy it.

I have a 2002 Avalanche with 64000 original miles. just installed a front hitch on it today. (for a 12000lb winch). Also started installing led lights though out , including the interior. (did the front and reverse lights today). Last week I installed an Edge CTS3 Tuner Replaced all the speakers and installed a satellite radio. Always wanted an Avalanche but opted for a GMC Envoy because of the gas savings difference. Still have the Envoy but I use the Avalanche. I don't have any fading problems with the gladdings because I keep it in my shop. I am not the original owner so this truck was hardly used before I bought it. Its hardly used now because I am retired and have other cars to drive. PS. It still has its under carriage labels on it.

There was an Avalanche SS on eBay several months ago, it sold for $10,360. Always use OEM, AC Delco parts. You'll have problems with aftermarket junk. Cover your fuel module with the bottom of a small milk jug, bend the edge's down, and use stainless self taping screws to hold it in place. Undercoating it wouldn't hurt.

I have a pre-owned '06 Available LT and I LOVE THIS TRUCK! When I bought it, it had been ridden hard and put away wet with over a hundred thousand miles on the odometer. It had also been wrecked. This year after Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana, my wife and I evacuated to Covington, Georgia. Since we had only driven on trips less than 100 miles round trip, my wife was worried whether or not the truck could handle the trip. We began packing the bed and rear seat with our most needed and treasured items and the truck was like "is that all you got?", so added more. We got a quick oil change and lube job and were off. The truck was begging to be driven and while on cruise control, it growled at the slightest road incline and wasn't burning a lot of fuel... The trip home was just as flawless... So, to answer your question " HELL YEAH, WE'D WELCOME A NEW MODEL OF THE AVALANCHE!" (You can tell by my constant questions to GM and local dealers)

[@joshburton5724]

I love my avalanche and I would probably only consider replacing it with a new one if they made it, theres just no other truck that fits the same niche in the market.

Best vehicle I have ever owned, 2003 1500 Z71 with 210K miles. Previous owner upgraded to 20" tires/wheels, filling the wheel wells nicely. rides fantastic. Does everything I have asked of it. Biggest complaint is the cladding. Seems that when the panels were mounted to the metal, the holes drilled out were not back filled/sealed, causing rust at the mounting points. Friend of mine removed his cladding and spray foamed the back side of the panels to cut down on moisture buildup. And yes, I would buy a new one, but not a EV.

I have a 2004 and a 2005 and I love them both. I fully plan on getting them repainted and restored to look as good as I can the day they were built. HOWEVER, even being very anti new vehicle. This would probably be the only thing I'd ever buy brand new. I had a Suburban before my Avalanche's and I just disliked not being able to haul anything semi tall (like a washer or dryer) but I like trucks and got annoyed at most being short beds on the market. The Avalanche is the perfect vehicle in my opinion. It's a Suburban that can become an 8 ft bed. I bought a 75 inch tv last year and it laid in the bed flat while other people with new trucks were showing up and it wouldn't fit in their beds. If GM brings this back, I'll buy one.

I own and love a 2004 71. At 135,000 miles it runs like new. Upgraded drilled / slotted Power Stop brakes and upgraded shocks made a big improvement. I would definitely consider it. Na Chrome guy so the black out grill and Amish bumpers don't tie a bow for me. I would replace the heavy removable bed covers with a fold and stow or electric roll up.. something unique .. some more tie down in the bed would be nice . Throw an inverter in for 110 power in the bed somewhere and USB ports interior and bed .. ala most new cars. Obviously all the standard crap like back up camera and camera control to aim and zoom for easy trailer hook up and look around. This is NOT a farm truck so let's not treat it like one ... But.... It has got to pull a load.. more than the 2013. Though drive train, over size rad, plus trans, oil, power steering coolers as well. driver adjustment for air bag leveling.. make it camper trailer/ boat friendly... Side view mirrors mounted on slide out pistons so you can see around your load but retract for daily use. Those rental mirrors suck and scratch up the paint... Let's face it. This could be revolutionary luxury puller. Strong, powerful, good lookin'. Keep it under 60 k and Chevy will sell a million of them.

I absolutely would buy one, but I'm keeping my 2002, it's in the first 45K ever made, with an attractive 'Roo-Gaurd' in a rounded-off 'bow-tie' shape. I love the 'cladding', there's 'treatments that make it look new and its lighter than metal, protects better against 'door dings! In the design above, bringing the bumper-step back is aces, removing it just made an Avalanche back into an old 'Gentleman Jim' GMC wanna-be pickup. I use that step much more often than the mid-gate bed expander. Only drawback is 'can't drop the tailgate down out of the way' Maybe the new fancy tailgate would be able to. I might suggest that Buick develop its own version, now that they've pretty much gone to SUV-only production. (It worked for Cadillac, eh?) They could modify the styling to be reminiscent of the original Riviera, greatest Buick ever, giving it a range extending hybrid power plant and all-wheel drive that could improve on the 'rubber-meets-the-road' specs of conventional 4WD. Maybe that would be a better idea for an updated 'El Camino'?

[@joshuacalkins8727]

I miss mine I had a Sunburst Orange 2002 2500 with the 8.1 litre 496 big block. That thing would tow a tank up hill in reverse. And it rode like a dream. Besides regular maintenance only change the fuel pump once. Had it until 2018 when a box truck backed into the front end and totaled it.

[@SilverbladeDagger]

I just purchased a white 2010 Avalanche LTZ last week. 128,000 miles, was used as a commercial vehicle, so it was well maintained, has all the toys, and the body is almost immaculate, for $14k. Of course, there were a few flaws that come with age, like the built in cargo boxes don't shut right, one of them the key doesn't fit in right to lock, while the other the lock looks like someone jammed a screwdriver into it and wacked it with a hammer. The driver's side mirror doesn't fold in, but can be manually pulled in, while the passenger side still folds in when the button is pressed. The tire pressure sensors in the tires have had their batteries depleted, and the module for the heat/cooled seats probably has the one pin on a connector melted (common problem). Also, there is one slight tear in the drivers seat. I also believe the EVAP system needs servicing. Other than that, everything is near mint, and is expected for a vehicle that is over 13 years old. While I've only had it for a week and barely put 100 miles on it, I absolutely love it! It rides nice and smooth, it can carry my family with comfort and ease, while at the same time I can haul firewood or groceries with no problems. I've already done some tweaks to make it better, like putting in LED lights in the cabin, puddle lights, and license plate lights, Weatherguard floor mats, new wireless headphones and remote for the entertainment in the back seat, and a few other things. We used to have suburbans and a Trailblazer, but they limited what we could haul because of the roof. With the Avalanche, we can haul things we couldn't before, things that are too tall or too long for the other vehicles. So I hope they do bring back a new generation of Avalanche, improving on some of the weak points of the old, like it's common problems, and make it so much better! I wouldn't be so excited for an EV version though. I don't think it would be all that good since it would dramatically increase the price, be hell to upgrade or work on, and with our cold Michigan winters, the battery life and power would suffer. V8 or nothing, and 4x4 all the way!

Absolutely!!! Have an 06 z71...best vehicle I've ever had!!! She's still running strong!!!very comfortable on long trips and keeps you warm with her heated seats when it's cold outside...So come on Chevy..bring her back!!!❤❤❤

I sold GM's from 1992 to 2017. I loved the Avalanche when it came out. I have a 2009 Avalanche now. I would by one if they brought it out, BUT I would really like to see a pick up suspension, not an SUV suspension, under it. I think trailer tow limitation was part of its downfall.

[@joeyount3864]

This is so true. They definitely need a better towing capacity. With the 6.2 in it.

[@fireman1780]

I had the 2002 Avalanche North Face Edition when they came out. It was ack with dark grey leather and the a medium grey for the body cladding. The sides didnt fade but the bed covers did but when you pressure washed it, it would take the chalk look off of it. I LOVED that truck. I put 189,000 miles in it before I traded it in. Had it for almost 13 years. It was the best vehicle ive ever had. I still miss it to this day. Its still driving around and I see it from time to time. If I had a lot of money id buy it back and restore it. The thing rode like a caddy! Id buy the new one!

[@royfrye333]

I just had to scrap my 2002 North Face Edition that I bought new. It was definitely the best truck I ever owned. It was still running perfectly but the frame was rusted so badly it was no longer safe to drive. The road salt here in New England turned the frame into Swiss cheese. I am one of the few that liked the plastic cladding. Shortly after I bought it new , I was at the supermarket on a very windy day. A shopping cart pushed by the wind slammed hard into the left rear door. It just bounced off and barely left a mark. Also, the front seats in the 02 model were wide and comfortable. The newer model seats were narrow due to widening the center console. Never understood the need for a wider center console. I would definitely consider buying a new one if they brought it back.

[@dennisbrookssr2903]

I must admit, the look took a while, to grow on me, but my wife liked the Avalanche from day one, and when the new, final edition came out, she loved it. Their are a few in our area, that still look great, and still catch her attention...as a matter of fact, she commented just recently, that she would want one, if they ever came back on the market. As for desired power, she has a real love for the 6.2 V-8, with the dealer installed Borla exhaust, in my Silverado LTZ, so I’m pretty sure that is a no brainer 👍 an Avalanche LTZ SS, with the 6.2, with some really nice, chrome 18” rims, to put some meat on the ground, and a nicer ride at the same time.

[@efrainruiz8265]

I recently, about 2 months ago, got me a 2009 Avalanche LT in near to perfect condition. Not one spec of rust on body and underneath frame is clean clean with original undercoating. I mean no rust at all, brought in from Virginia. Just love the truck. Use it to cruize to work and back home a couple times a week and to visit my mom on weekends, outta town a couple times a month. I would definitely buy a new version, hell yeah!

[@nathantoews152]

I'm rocking a 2003 avalanch right now. I don't know what I'd do without that mid tear down. I hope they make a new one

[@deanmarino3633]

I have a 2012 LTZ Avi and I love it. Ive had other trucks before. When I was looking for another truck, I didn't want a pick up, everyone has one. I remember seeing the first Gen in the showroom and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. 2 years ago I went looking fir another truck and found one that kept my attention. 2012 LTZ with Z82 call callouts on the bed. I found out its a tow package. I never seen that call out, sticker on any other Avi

[@donoberloh]

The step rear bumper on the rendition is factory 1st Gen with Body Cladding. And the 2nd gen z-71 package offered the same a kid plates as the fir#t gen.Only the torsion bar front suspension was enhanced with coil springs.

[@davecal9421]

First off: YES, I would buy a new one if they kept the add-ons you described. I LOVE my cladding (I owned a new 2002, then a 2004 and currently have a 2006 with 240K miles). I got past the faded, chalky look by ultimately covering the whole thing in bedliner (started with Line-X with UV additive, then finished with Patriot Liner). I have custom made bumper with inset fog lights and a levelling kit. I get compliments constantly on it...

[@EdwardHearns]

Wow! I really hope that they come out with another Avalanche. I brought my 2008 off the showroom floor with 3 miles on her. 13 years later I am still the proud owner of that Avalanche, 286,213 miles strong.

[@lovellmills7959]

Awesome man I have 290k on my 2003 and she's a real bad bitch. Runs as new. I wouldn't trade it for a 2021 anything! They don't make them like they used too!

[@ehw1615e]

Yes! I currently own a 2007 Avalanche. Make the Bodyside Cladding a No-Charge delete option for the 2022. I don't need another part to maintain in addition to plastic headlights.

[@davemarriott9332]

Definitely would buy one. On my second one which is my daily, an ‘05. I build custom furniture and deliver items no one can believe thanks to the bed conversation capabilities. Hated the Avalanche when it came out and bought one for my wife and fell in love with it. EV? I guess we don’t have a choice coming soon. 5.3L is fine. Bad ass rendering of a new one though.

[@kevinstorm6009]

I've always like the UN-cladded look of the Avalanche. So much so, that I'd owned 2 of them (2009 and 2012). I'd love to get new Avalanche. But a hearty NO THANKS on the cladding! It's always been ugly; horribly so once it fades. It's also completely unnecessary, potentially sealing in moisture and causing the truck to rust beneath the cladding. Frankly, the new Silverado EV should've been named the Avalanche EV, since it really looks more like an updated Avalanche (Midgate, solid body and all), than a current SIlverado with the usual separated cab and pickup bed! Hey Chevy! Build the new Avalanche and base it upon the look (even the entire body) of the new Silverado EV. I'd order one tomorrow if they did.

[@CCFBGGarage]

Hey Brian, i love my 07 and yes its getting old with 408k km (256k miles) i keep it as i got a great deal on it 5 years ago and owes me nothing! Very reliable and yes 100% i would but i may have to settle for a Silverado EV, which im okay with as a backup plan. Love the video! - Mark

[@daniellovesya2012]

I believe the closest GMC variant was the envoy XUV. It has tht drop down tailgate behind the back seats a tailgate, I guess the main difference is the retractable roof, which is pretty cool in my opinion.

[@dougfowler6898]

Heck YES!!! I have owned two. It would be crazy if they offered the High Country edition!! Really hope they do this.

[@Rudyfastcat1]

Hell yeah ! I already on an 06 (Southern Comfort edition) and a 2013 (black diamond edition) and would love to add a new body style Avalanche

[@donoberloh]

I am the original owner of an ‘03 with body cladding. Fading is controlled with Maguires tire shine. When ever you don't like the fading, spray it and leave it. Looks new again even in 2022.

[@SkullivanBones]

My first, and current, vehicles ive ever owned is an avalanche and i honestly cant see myself driving anything else. This truck is amazing!

[@mikedenton25]

65k-80k for a Avalanche and that seems like a no go. I have owned both gens and currently own a 7.5" lifted 07 avy.

[@michaelbabisky596]

Like the channel Brian ! As a previous Avalanche owner this was amazing truck that could use a bit wider bed for those weekend projects ! I would be in the market if ever came to production .

[@BrianMello]

Appreciate it Michael, glad to have you here!

[@KevinMaloy-df2qq]

Hell yeah I'd buy one. Had a 03 Z71 and loved it. After making minor upgrades and changes, synthetic oil, air filter and proper maintenance I was able to drive approximately 600 miles on a tank of gas highway at around 75 mph. I remember in winter of 2003/04 I was driving around on a flat tire and didn't realize it. ........I got rid of it due to high gas prices ,at $100 a tank i traded it in. Looking back on it now I would have kept it and bought another vehicle as a daily driver.

[@danielfedele]

They already came out with the new Chevy Avalanche. It's called the Chevy Silverado EV.

[@Senerian]

Had two, One was frist generation 2001, loaded. It was such a good truck. If you maintained it, it did well and lasted a long time. I wish I had never sold my first one.

[@thetexan2127]

Childhood favorite truck. If they re-release, I'm getting it no matter what. They should because it kinda fits the bill to be a great posterchild for electric-powered trucks now that its becoming a thing.

[@murderbirdLTX]

I have a cladid 03 Z71 the cladding really protects the truck especially beating around in the woods
