The Chevrolet Avalanche marries the convenience of a crew cab pickup with the innovative Midgate cargo management feature, which allows the truck bed to expand into the crossover’s passenger compartment. The Chevrolet Avalanche also offers a 5.3-litre, 320 horsepower V8 (also good for 335 lb-ft of torque) matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. The full-size Avalanche can be ordered in two-wheel and four-wheel drive editions, and an off-road equipment package is also available.
