What Owners Say
"The 5.3 engine accelerates well, and handles very for a full size truck"
DAVID H., MI (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"Smooth ride, can drink an open cup of hot coffee on a bumpy road, very tight turning circle."
Anonymous, LA (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"The Avalanche accelerates quickly and assertively without having to press the pedal very much. The handling is very responsive for such a large vehicle, and it has a relatively small turning radius."
Alan H., TX (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"Acceleration is better than adequate. However, low speed acceleration, while towing up a steep hill, is lacking. Sometimes it can’t get out of its own way. I think it is in the electronics. It’s like it doesn’t know what to do, so it does nothing. It just goes very slow with little or no acceleration."
David H., WV (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"Good excelleration"
Anonymous, CO (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"Handles well for a big vehicle. Acceleration could be better."
Wayne R., PA (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"Very Smooth riding truck with plenty of power."
Carl J., TN (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"handles really good, last truck was an Avalance, that's why bought another. very comfortable."
Marlene B., IA (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"Powerful and responsive"
Andy M., BC (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"Great pickup and handles and rides like a large car."
Anonymous, NJ (2013 Chevrolet Avalanche)"This vehicle is reliable and performs well. IT handles well and stand up to my wife's abusive riving habits. For a full size truck it gets better economy than our newer full size GM vehicle."
