2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Chevrolet Avalanche 1500:

Though it's not as revolutionary as Chevrolet would have us believe, it's still an innovative amalgam of features and functions such as two lockable containers integrated into the rear quarter-panels, which provide five cubic feet of secure storage space.

-- Car and Driver

A pleasant highway cruiser that's agile for its size and weight despite lifeless steering.

-- Consumer Guide

Beware seriously bad weather or really messy loads with the midgate fully open. That aside, Avalanche marries big-SUV passenger room and comfort with big-pickup utility in a solid package.

-- Consumer Guide

As rough and tough as the Avalanche looks on the outside, the driving experience is as pleasant as any SUV's.
