2004 Chevrolet Avalanche Z71 review from North America
"The Avalanche is a good multi purpose vehicle that handles like a car but is not a truck."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The stereo, though clear and loud, has intermittent malfunctions.
The leather upholstery has begun to wear-through on the driver side.
General comments?
The Avalanche is sluggish off-the-line, but after about 25-30 mph is pretty responsive.
The towing performance is overrated. I pull a 16' trailer with less than 1000 lbs. on it and wish there was some more torque.
