2012 Chevrolet Avalanche

The 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche truck is part pickup, part SUV and entirely practical. Its big, roomy cabin is virtually identical to the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban-at least from the second-row seat forward.  What makes the 2012 Chevy Avalanche so much more versatile than a crew-cab pickup is the standard folding midgate bulkhead behind the rear seat. Essentially a cutout covered by a metal panel, with the midgate folded down the Avalanche's bed is extended into the cab. Built on the same platform as the Suburban, the 2012 Avalanche full-size truck is endowed with the same strong chassis, ground clearance and AWD ability as its SUV cousin. The only difference is there is no 2500 model, and the standard engine is Chevy's small-block 5.3-liter V8 featuring Active Fuel Management and E85 capability.

Chevrolet Avalanche News

The Chevrolet Avalanche is a four-door pickup truck introduced by General Motors in 2002, and significantly revamped for the 2007 model year. While sales have slowed considerably, GM is expected to keep the vehicle in its lineup through the 2012 model year. With a base price of about $36,000 and rising to more than $47,000, the Avalanche has few competitors save for GM's own Cadillac Escalade EXT, the four-door Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab, and the Honda Ridgeline.
The Avalanche is part sport-utility vehicle, and part pickup truck--something of a Swiss Army Knife among trucks. The cabin has nearly the same room as GM's traditional SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Suburban. However, the short pickup bed can be expanded in length and volume via the "Midgate"--a fold-down panel that divides the external bed from the interior. When folded down, the Avalanche sports a nearly full-sized pickup bed, though it's no longer enclosed like a sport-ute. In the current generation, the bed expands from 5' 3" to 8' 2". The Midgate gives it distinct advantages over vehicles like the Honda Ridgeline, which also has a short bed but a fixed wall separating the cabin and the cargo area.
Stylish trucks need love too, so at CARiD.com, we make sure we've got the Chevy Avalanche Accessories and parts to back up the concept. Grilles, Chevy Tail Lights, floor mats, tonneau covers, chevy bed rails, wheels, dash kits, and more are available inside our selection in the absolute highest quality possible. In fact, all of our Chevy Avalanche accessories and parts are guaranteed to provide a precise OEM fit as well as undying durability. There's no reason your ride has to stay on the sidelines. Get in the game. Discover the Chevy Avalanche accessories that are right for you!

2011 Chevrolet Avalanche

The 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche ranks 3 out of 3 Sport Utility Trucks. This ranking is based on our analysis of 52 published reviews and test drives of the Chevrolet Avalanche, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The Chevrolet Avalanche is great for shoppers who need more utility than most SUVs can offer, but want a more comfortable everyday driver than a Crew Cab pickup like the Dodge Dakota can manage.
The Chevrolet Avalanche may be one of the only sport utility trucks left, but it’s still going strong. It has four doors, seats up to six and has a towing capacity of up to 8,100 pounds, which puts it in the same class as full size SUVs like the Honda Pilot and the Ford Expedition. But its pickup bed and MSRP of about $36,000 put it on par with full size pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab. "Like peanut butter and chocolate, sometimes combining two seemingly unrelated things results in something that's a pleasant surprise,” writes Edmunds . “In the 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche's case, it's the combination of both pickup and SUV attributes that proves to be so appealing.”2007-2010 Chevrolet Avalanche photographed in ...Image via Wikipedia
The 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche comes with a well-equipped interior, even in the base models. The approximately $36,000 Avalanche LS comes with features like an AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo, USB port with iPod dock, Bluetooth connectivity, and heated exterior mirrors. Upgrading to the top-of-the-line LTZ trim brings the MSRP up to about $46,000 and equips the Avalanche to near-luxury levels, adding standard leather seats, touchscreen navigation and a Bose eight-speaker surround sound system.
If you're looking to add a whole new dimension to your exterior, Chevy Body Kits at CARiD are the answer! We'll help you find a Body Kit that turns your "everyday" vehicle into a customized ride that leaves a lasting impression. All of our Body Kits come from top-name designers who've been in the game for years, giving us an advantage in quality no one can compete with. Only ultra-grade ABS, Fiberglass, and Urethane are used along with a precise factory-match painting system to ensure the perfect fit-and-finish which matters most. Drive with a refined, custom presence everyone respects. A Body Kit for your model is the first step.

Chevrolet Avalanche News

Bridging the gap between Chevrolet's family-friendly full-size SUVs and its robust pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Avalanche is a unique offering unlike anything else in the market.
The Avalanche was first introduced for the 2002 model year, while the current model dates to 2007. Early Avalanches featured extensive styling differences from the Suburban, but the latest model is a dead ringer from the passenger area forward.
The Avalanche's bed, however, deviates from the Chevrolet Silverado by being integrated into the front cabin with an innovative Midgate system. The normally static wall between the second row bench's back can be opened to extend the normally five foot, three inch cargo bed to eight feet, two inches.
Inside, however, the Avalanche is all Suburban with an upscale dashboard and plenty of available luxury conveniences.
The night sky can be a perfect opportunity to let your vehicle stand out more than ever and CARiD.Com features Chevy Projector Headlights that help make it happen!

2011 Chevrolet Avalanche

The Chevrolet Avalanche is one of the industry's most flexible utility vehicles, combining the passenger-comfort attributes of a SÚV wîth the cargo capability of a truck. It is based on GM's full-size SÚV platform, offering flex-fuel capability; a sharp, precise driving feel; interior refinement and notable quietness. And when it comes to pulling its weight on the job, it has a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds (3,674 kg).
Avalanche is powered by an efficient combination that includes the Vortec 5.3L V-8 wîth cylinder-deactivating Active Fuel Management technology and a fuel-saving Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic. The transmission helps deliver improved highway fuel mileage by incorporating two overdrive gears (fifth and sixth gears) that allow the engine to operate at a lower speed on the highway. Less fuel is used when the engine rpm is lowered, enhancing fuel economy. The lower engine speed also contributes to a quieter passenger environment.
The 2011 Avalanche is available in LS, LT and LTZ models, wîth 2WD and 4WD. The popular Z71 Off Road appearance package is available and includes high-pressure, gas-charged monotube shocks, 18-inch on/off road tires, automatic-locking differential, front recovery hooks, a durable skid plate and high-capacity air cleaner. Large, color-keyed wheel flares, an aggressive front fascia and satin chrome tubular assist steps, and bright chrome front grille insert provide a one-of-a kind appearance.
Avalanche also delivers useful technology and uncompromising safety features, including Bluetooth wireless phone connectivity wîth specific §teering wheel controls, an available rear camera system, head curtain side-impact air bags and StabiliTrak electronic stability control system. Avalanche offers an integrated brake controller that works wîth the ABS system to provide immediate and measured brake force signaling to electric-controlled trailer brake systems; there is no requirement for external and/or aftermarket brake control systems.
A range of 17-inch and 20-inch wheels is offered. Seventeen-inch wheels and tires are standard, wîth 20-inch factory-installed wheels available (standard on LTZ; available on LT). The larger wheels fill Avalanche's wheelhouses, giving the vehicle a confident stance.
When you’re looking for a Chevy Avalanche Grill Guard, you need quality. Durability. Stainless Steel. And a refined, professional finish wouldn’t hurt, either. At CARiD, you get all that and more inside our selection of Chevy Avalanche Grille Guards! Thanks to big-time names such as Westin® and Romik®, every Chevy Grill Guard we offer is of the highest quality around. Chevy Avalanche Grille Guards defend the front of your vehicle with brute-tough Stainless Steel by stopping rocks, sticks, and debris from doing damage.

2011 Chevrolet Avalanche

Like peanut butter and chocolate, sometimes combining two seemingly unrelated things results in something that's a pleasant surprise. In the
2011 Chevrolet Avalanche's case, it's the combination of both pickup and SUV attributes that proves to be so appealing. The Avalanche is based on GM's full-size truck architecture and comes in a four-door crew-cab body style. Unlike a truck, however, the Avalanche's cab and bed aren't separate; instead, the Avalanche features an SUV's one-piece body.
Separating these two sections is an innovative "midgate" that gives the Avalanche its unique flexibility. With it in place you have a quiet, comfortable SUV-like interior; fold it down and you get an extended cargo area that stretches all the way from the lockable tailgate to the back of the front seats. The three-piece hard chevy tonneau cover over the bed can either be left in place to keep cargo secure or removed to carry taller items like dirt bikes or large home appliances. As with all big trucks, the Avalanche's main downside is its plus-sized dimensions, which can make it a handful in heavy traffic and tight spaces. The other notable downside is a price tag that's substantially higher than comparable crew cab pickups.
Truck shoppers who like the Avalanche's versatile design might also want to check out the Honda Ridgeline; though it lacks the Avalanche's cargo room and towing capacity, it offers an equally innovative SUV/pickup hybrid design in a more nimble, less expensive and more fuel-efficient package. And if luxury is your thing, you might also look at the Chevy's upscale cousin, the Cadillac Escalade EXT. But overall we think the 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche is a solid pick for people needing the best of both the pickup and SUV worlds.

Chevy Silverado Projector Headlights

The pickup truck has long been a mainstay of American byways and highways, and Chevrolet has been there from day one. Originally used and respected by farmers, construction workers and small-business owners, Chevrolet's hauler was a basic workhorse known for its reliability and longevity. More recent times have seen Chevy's full-size truck adopt the name Silverado, which was previously an upscale trim level. 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD DuramaxImage by latemodelresto via Flickr
As with its rivals, the modern-day Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is available with a wide variety of body styles, powertrains and trim levels. Thanks to this flexibility, the half-ton Silverado pickup is just as adept at serving as the weekday family car as it is at transporting home-improvement supplies or towing a boat on the weekends. And if one wants something sporty, there are always the SS versions that come complete with a rumbling V8, bucket seats and flashy wheels.
Older versions of the Silverado 1500 pickup have been praised for their strong work ethic but soundly criticized for their bland, often overly plastic-endowed cabins. The latest version, however, exhibits greatly improved fit and finish. Where there was once an abundance of lackluster design, hard plastic and uneven panel gaps there are now richly grained upholstery, softer materials and precise fitments. Of course, there are other choices in the full-size pickup truck market, but the half-ton Chevrolet Silverado remains a solid pick no matter what its intended use.
When the sun begins to fade and the sky dims to welcome in the night, your truck can’t stay incognito. If anything, this is your chance to really shine! At CARiD.Com we have the Chevy Silverado Projector Headlights you need to make it work. All of our Chevy Silverado Headlights are brought to you by the best names in the business and are guaranteed to provide a precise OEM fit. Style is the name of the game with Chevy Silverado Projector Headlights, so get involved and see which pair is right for you. Chevy Silverado Headlights are available in a host of sizzling options. Take your pick of Chevy Silverado Halo Headlights in Crystal Clear, JDM Black, and more. Each pair of Chevy Silverado Halo Headlights is also preassembled by the manufacturer and arrives at your door ready for “plug & play” installation! Give your hauler headlamps that pierce through darkness to reveal a touch of exotic flavor no one competes with. Chevy Silverado Headlights at CARiD are what gets it done.
