I had a guy at the gas station ask me what was so special about my Avalanche.. showed him, 2 days later I saw an Avalanche at the gas station. Eventually had to tank up, sure enough.. he bought it.

Thank you for this video. I’m 32 years old and just discovering how ahead of its time the Avalanche truly is. Amazing.

Dude, I can't believe I've had my truck for over 2 years and I just learned that is where you store the window when you drop the gate. 😅

When these AVY 1st came out 2001 at carshow at NRG. I went saw this baby and knew I needed for all my hunting needs. The next year they were available to public... I was the 3rd one bought in Texas(had special order my color and go pick up). Flash forward to 2022...old blue is still running and have over 549,200 miles on it. Still getting GREAT gas mileage. Houston to Lubbock 1/2 tank gas. This engine is awesome. Wrote to Chevrolet and sent pictures they sent voucher towards next Chevrolet truck...

I inherited my Dad's 2002 and have driven it once a week for 2 years. I had no idea there was a midgate!!! I've hated the very short bed but love the truck. You have solved my problem!! Thank you!!!

Just bought an old '03 model for myself and absolutely love it. What an awesome truck it is. I knew when I bought it a couple months ago that it was a great truck but I keep learning new things about it, new features, that just keep making it even more awesome.

Just purchased an 04 Avalanche. Then I watched this video. This is going to everything I could want or need.

Just got an 04 for my 16yo new driver. I had (sold) an 03 Escalade ext , and always regretted that. Never knew U could drop down the whole section like that. Awesome video.

I had to drop my mid gate when I brought my 65 inch tv home from BB, they were sure surprised!

Great Review, the Mid Gate is what makes an Avalanche really cool and there are many Avalanche Owners that don't understand both modes of operation.

I have an 04 Avalanche and I know one thing you can take the back window by itself out and then just put your back seats back up without dropping the midgate for nice open window experience

When you buy the Avalanche new it comes with a zipper bag to store the 3 cover panels in. The bag is then secured to the bed wall on edge to keep them out of the way and safe from being damaged. (Each panel equals $1000.00) This panel securing system was on my 2004 AVY when I bought it new. It probably gets lost and that's why most used Avys don't have them.

Thanks bro for posting this! Just bought a 2004 Southern Comfort Edition Avalanche, owned tons of Tahoes and Suburbans but the Avalanche is just too awesome!!! 💪💪

I’ve owned a 2002 for 6 years now. I’ve had plenty of good reasons to part ways, but instead I’ve invested in it and love it. Approaching 300K on original motor and transmission. It’s a Z71 and the transfer case is still doing it’s job as if it’s new. I’m losing a quart of oil a week right now, the rear main seal needs to be changed out, but I’m about to get that done and keep trucking. Love mine.

Just bought a 2003 avalanche 2500 and it really is the ultimate truck I could not be happier

Thanks for making and posting. Much appreciated 👍 -Tom

I appreciate that bro i just bought a 250cc atv and never thought it would fit thanks for the wisdom

Awesome, thanks! Borrowed my father-in-law's truck and couldn't figure out the center beam on the mid gate. This was SUPER helpful!

Too bad I can't post pics here. I have an 04 avalanche also without the plastic cladding. Same color as yours. Upgraded the wheels to 17" bronze methods and plasti dipped the plastic in the back to make it look brand new. All new Billstein 500 shocks and wheel bearings. Drives like its brand new. Thanks for sharing! I would love to see this truck make a come back!

Hahahha Broooooo I’ve had my Escalade ext for 10 years NEVER knew the glass came off And I travel with dirt bikes and quads Love this truck even more now 💪🏼

WOW! I'm now sold on the avalanche! Perfect for my dirt bikes and German shepherds! Love the style too. Great video- very informative!!

Wow, thanks for this, I bought mine used and would never have figured this out...It'll be perfect to tow my kayak!

Just got a 04 today my dad bought it brand new , happy to be the 2nd owner!!

Just bought a 2011 Avalanche Liz. ……thanks this was needed

Great video! Thank you- am heading to test drive one tomorrow 🤞🏼

i just got an 06 Z71 and this is great. I didn't realize it did all of this.

I had a 02 years ago and miss it prob more than any vehicle I’ve ever owned….and I’m well over 200. Just bought a 05 Friday. Getting a new transmission put it in now and then can’t wait to do some videos on it for my channel.

Thank you for this video,...as I'm considering an Avalanche to carry my Hobie kayak!

Just got my 2003 Avalanche and appreciate the info. Great truck!

Very good detailed video! Thankyou

I own a 2011 Chevy Avalanche Z These trucks will truly become Collector Vehicles. In future years their prices will rival 60s/early 7os mucsule Cars.

Great details bro. Appreciate

Great video

Buying my uncles. I’m stoked af for all this functionality. I couldn’t decide between a 1500 or a suburban. Uncle showed me his avalanche and I was sold.

I love it, I just bought a 2005 with a bad transsmission and I'm fixing it but I'm happy with it

Good job King. Thanks

very nicely done

Helpful vid. I have the Caddy EXT

Great review.

I just bought an 04 2500 avalanche! Its a sweet unit with 46k miles!

Toyota first came up with this "midgate" concept by CALTY with their A-BAT truck several years ago. But they got cold feet when deciding on whether or not to bring it to market.

Nice video, can you show the 2 storage compartments on the top sides of the truck bed?

This is awesome I had no idea these can do this this is the best vehicle of all time !

So cool. I think this is the truck for me

I am so ichin' to get my Avy back from the shop. Now that the day are getting nice and Spring temp her on LI a want to drive the Avy with the back window out and all the windows down on the beach! 😎 Another great video Ryan. Keep Em coming bro. I'll throw out another question while I'm at it... Now that you're in Florida and have good weather all year round, what's your future plans on cars you want to get into for future projects? When I was living in Tampa, I had 2 stangs. And I used to love to go to Bradenton Motor speedway for the special events a swap meets.

Very good video! Please can you tell me the maximum length of the floor with tailgate down, to the back of the front seat? Ty!

Love ur videos, my sunroof shade won’t go in the forward position, do u have a video for that

Hey there fellow Avalanche owner here! I have the pleasure of owning a 2006 Chevy avalanche 1500 LT, and I’ve loved them since they came out! Finally found an excellent body condition pushing 203k but runs like a kitten! Looking to mod exhaust here shortly! I just figured that feature out just by trying to get the glass out to fix the seal 🤣🤣🤣 the things we stumble upon lol

What's up Ryan! I'm definitely looking forward to the LEDs for the rear.

Thanks for this video. The funny thing is I remember when i was younger I was telling my wife i wanted either this or a tundra but decided i wanted to stick with something gas friendly, roadtrip worthy and that could still hold stuff in the back.. fast forward to today i somehow got A 4runner…. But now im kicking myself realizing how much I need a pickup to carry big bulky items and be able to Still carry people around somewhat comfortably. Now Im back online looking at these 03-2006 chevy avalanches and the silverado 1500s im straying away from the toyota reliability i love and know but honestly im upset that the tow ratings and interior in the toyotas never got much of a big upgrade so i guess custom upholstery might be the way

I just bought an old and rusty avalanche from a friend, he had left it at my place because he needed to do a brake job and he had a small accident with it he was gonna work on it but he never did so I bought it from him and now I'm fixing it I just changed a diesel engine and this avalanche is like playing with legos

I had a 2002 for two years first truck mind you, it was a very reliable truck and I loved it. Unfortunately the previous owners I bought it from never took care of it. There was an ungodly amount of rust on the frame, under the doors, basically everywhere and a leak under the driver side where water would leak in. I traded it in for a 2013 black diamond LS. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like my other one but she’s all I want in a truck. I’ll make a video about it and tell me what you think.

What I like about the H2 is that the back window, go's Up & Down @ the touch of a button, it has an internal glass midgate!!

This surely helps. Thank you.

Nice job....

Hey @King customz Any way you could post a measurement for the width and height of the midgate opening you are sitting in at the end of the video. Would be extremely helpful. Thanks

Combine with Cybertruck design, you got a perfect truck

Hey man love you’re videos. Quick question. The right seat on the back of my 2002 won’t go down. It feels like it’s locked or something. Any suggestions?

Hello.. Does water go inside the bed trunk with the covers? Im thinking of going camping and make it as my bed by folding the seats and opening it. Thank you

Does water leek into the cab sometimes for you?

Hello I need some advice if you don’t mind ? I’m interested in a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 it has 157,790 miles exterior/interior looks good it’s on sale for $8,999 do you recommend I purchase it?

Sweet. You have a Northface edition.

Thanks for the review.. I had a 2013 Nissan frontier I liked that truck But my insurance says I may need to upgrade and im thinking about a used and yes it's also a 2013 lol 😆 avalanche I found But still gotta wait and see what Insurance says first I just wanted to see how it changes vs what I saw on TV years ago but anyways thanks

2:05 nice work lol

Love my Avvy..

I just bought a 2002 Chev avalanche , how do you work the 4x4 , please let me know .

Im looking at an 05 that my mechanic is selling. 140K. He is a little steep on price but man that truck is in such great shape.

I have an 05 1500 myself and love the midgate. The big issue I have is water leaking into the bed with the cover on. Is there a way to seal the bed?

The spot on the bed is it for a shovel?

I use my avalanche for camping,I sleep with my window in and gate down for my pillows to fit.

Is it water proof? Wen tha platelets are on

What is the the trim for from the cab and the bed

great truck to replace wagon SUV for campers and people love travelling. just put a bed, and boom!

Only downside could be lack of tie down points in the cargo area

What’s the size of the bed when it’s all down and the normal size?

Two years and I never knew this

I have a 2007 and mine works just the same.

Can you add topper?

19 years ago....

I didn't know that 😳

Owned my avy for 3 months and never knew it had a midgate

I have a 2003 chevy avalanche and would like to out storage under the back seat. I csnt find anyone who has done this and what would fit under the seats.

When these came out I thought they were fugly and pointless. Yet it is hard to argue with the brilliance of the system they built. Now Toyota needs to copy it and do it better…

It's not their problem when they saw you recording amd then they want to mowing the lawn.

I found a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche Sport Utility Pickup 4D 5 1/4 ft" but it has 460,000 kms on it. It looks great and is undercoated but that is a lot of kms. Price is $5500.cdn I am scared of so many kms.

Bro wtf y I’m just finding this out

ALL quads are ATV's, but not all ATV's are quads.

I do not know that you could do

Car is 2006-2007-2008-2009-2010

You can buy an avalanche, or just buy a real pick up truck. And you don't have to go through all this process 😂😂😂

The plastic sails,, all this crap in the bed,, it’s just so gay! I hate this truck and can’t stand that you can’t switch the whole bed out being that it’s completely connected to the cab just trash

LMAO Everyone thinks they are a youtube star....this guy was a waste of time, if people can't figure all this out on their own, they shouldn't own a truck.

NOT TRUE YOU HARDLY EVER TAKE THE WINDOW OUT AND WHEN YOU DO WHY ITS SO MUCH TIRING AND HOT TO DO THAT. AND THOSE THINGS ARE HEAVY ALSO YOUR NOT GOING TO BE DOING THAT ITS EXHAUSTING AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO DO IT. IT WILL TAKE YOU 30 MINS TO DO IT AND YOU'LL BE HUFFING AND PUFFING. ALSO THE CHANCES OF YOU USING IT WILL NEVER BE BECAUSE THE BED IS WAY TO SHORT TO PUT LUMBER AND YOU JUST WILL NEVER USE THAT THERE IS SO MANY OTHER BETTER LIKE THE SILVERADO OR THE TUNDRA OR RAM 1500 OR F150 OR NISSAN TITAN THIS VEHICLE IS MORE OF A JUST LOOKS

Best trucks in the world! Chevy_avalanches
