The Chevrolet Avalanche combines the comfortable interior of an SUV with the versatility of a pickup truck. Based on the Chevy Silverado 1500, the Avalanche features seating for up to six in a roomy interior that is larger than usual crew cab cabins. Especially the rear seat benefits from the added space. The cargo bed on the other hand is smaller than a pickup's, but thanks to the practical mid-gate, a part of the interior can be used to extend the loading bay. In addition, the Chevy Avalanche can tow up to 8,100 lbs. thanks to a 5.3-liter V8 that offers adequate performance. Optional all-wheel-drive, a comfortable ride and over nine inches of ground clearance further add to this vehicle's appeal.
