With its revolutionary Midgate, Avalanche is the only vehicle that can go from a six-passenger SUV with a 5.3-ft. cargo box to a three-passenger full-size pickup with an 8.1-ft. cargo box. That type of adaptability is combined with clever features like standard lockable, lighted top-box storage compartments (located on both sides of the cargo box), cargo cover and five-link rear suspension (on 1500 models). Avalanche is also big on power, thanks to the strength of Vortec V8 SFI engines. With all it has to offer, it’s no wonder we call Avalanche the Ultimate Utility Vehicle. From the family of Chevy Trucks — the most dependable, longest-lasting trucks on the road.
