I bought this vehicle to flip but have decided to keep it. One owner 1500 2wd, my mechanic has serviced it since it was new and he said it was perfect. It was at his shop for service and the owner told him to sell it as he had bought a new one. They have been discontinued as of 2014. I called the owner and worked out a deal and now it's in my driveway. My only concern is that it has 162,000 miles but it has been serviced regularly and the mechanic is going to print the maintenance history for me. Have any of you guys had any experience/history with the Avalanche. It is basically a Yukon with with an adaptable bed/covered cargo area and is pretty versatile. It has the 5.3 Vortec engine and I think the 4l60e automatic. All opinions are appreciated....Thanks. Gman
