Used 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche for Sale

The biggest drawback I have found is fuel consumption. This truck gets 10-12 miles to the gallon in the city which is not totally abysmal for its size, I know. However, compared to our other truck which is newer it leaves something to be desired. Another major drawback is lack of power. It being only rear-wheel drive, it can be make towing large loads more difficult especially on the ample inclines we have in Colorado. It does well on level surfaces but has often really struggled coming across the mountains. If I have the choice I would have gone with the four-wheel drive model for added control on hills. Also, as I have mentioned before, the design of the bed leaves something to be desired. The built in tool boxes are handy but cut down on cargo room by about ten inches on each side of the bed. Also there are ample tie down anchors in the walls of the bed which are handy in theory but in practice often get in the way when loading or unloading large cargo. In terms of the cab, it is spacious and comfortable though the console between the front seats is stationary (cannot be moved forward or backward like the seats). This is caused minor inconveniences when we've had to haul things in the cab.

The cons of the vehicle would be that it does easily use a lot of fuel. The size of the vehicle could be a problem for some, especially if you live in a big city. The speaker quality is not that great for someone who likes to listen to the music rather loud. The tires are more expensive being that they are bigger.
