Have a 2002 Avalanche with the center console? Hate the bottomless pit, which eventually turns into a trash heap? Wish there was a way to organize it better?
Well I've seen the light! After ordering part number 12496041, the Flooor Console Liner, I concluded two things.
1) Shame on Chevrolet for just not including this puppy in the first place with your center console.
2) It's the best darn $12 - $15 mod that is out there for your Avalanche's console - bar none!
First - let's look at the bottomless pit. Now at first blush this is a good thing. Lots of room, LOTS of room for just about anything. But there are no dividers sans for change so if you're like most people that room turns into a trash heap of jumbled up stuff. You know, you need that one thing right away buried at the bottom and the next you know you've turned that console inside out.
Next, lets look at part number 12496041. This is a tray made by the General specifically designed to slide into the center console. It fits snug so there is no rattling, although I did leave the no slip liner in the bottom just in case. The tray divides your console into two sections. A smaller rear section that takes advantage of the height. The forward section has holders for CD's, tapes, or as shown both. Between the two it makes a HUGE difference in keeping things organized.
Tada! Here you go. The tray is slipped into the center console and suddenly that bucket of mess is organized and stuff is easy to find. Further I can remove the tray at any time if I need more room, or heaven forbid I spill something down in there. I still have full access to the tray holder and there are no seams around the edge. It's a flush fit. There is even enough room for a phone book as you can notice! Between this and the well designed inside storage on the lid for pens, notepads, and tissues - well it's the perfect console. Sure wish the General had included it.
Sorry, don't know the part number for the 2003 Avalanche but this tray won't be compatible due to the wider size. I paid a hair more than $12 for it from DeLillo Chevrolet, our site sponsor.

thanks for this "cheap" find.
Man do dealers that try to rip off customers REALLY piss me off. The Chevrolet Avalanche 2002 Accessories catalog lists this puppy as $22.00 - that's the full retail markup max. I wouldn't pay one penny over that. 
Of course maybe the price is going up because CAFCNA members are causing a shortage.
