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.
