The Avlanche2500 is built on a rugged frame with rear leaf springs and torsion bars up front. The 8.1 liter engine is standard with a HD four-speed transmission. This beast is heavy-duty, powerful, versatile, durable yet has a comfortable ride. Just ask the people who own one...

My first Avalanche2500 was a 2003. After learning Chevrolet was discontinuing the three-quarter-ton version, I replaced my first with this 2006 Avalanche2500. Now after twenty years and 200,000 miles I thought it may be time to replace it. WRONG! After searching, I came to the conclusion that there's not any truck made today that would match this Avalanche. So its' definitely going to be a keeper.

What the Avalanche2500 does best, pulling trailers. Accounting for half the mileage.




Powerful 8.1cubic inch engine.
