Chevrolet’s Avalanche — the part pickup, part SUV that pioneered a specialty full-size utility segment — rolls into 2010 with refined interior and exterior packaging, plus the credentials to

meet demanding passenger- and cargo-hauling needs. In two-wheel-drive form, the LS starts at $35,725, the LT starts at $38,830 and the LTZ at $45,815. Four-wheel drive adds $3,050 to the price tag. New for 2010, the single-speed transfer case is standard on 4WD, and a two-speed transfer case is optional. Avalanche’s exterior design is lean, as well as agile-looking, and for 2010, the clean-looking exterior (especially compared to the original design with cladding) and steeply raked windshield help generate more mainstream appeal. The radical windshield angle makes the truck look sleeker and improves aerodynamics, which helps fuel economy. The front end wears a wraparound body-color fascia. It’s basically an appearance item, but one that’s aero-molded to help fuel efficiency. The Avalanche has a handsome headlight and grille treatment — one that fits with the entire Chevrolet family theme. Propelling the behicle is a standard 5.3-liter V-8, generating 320 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque. Bolted to an efficient six-speed automatic transmission, estimated mileage is 15 mpg city/21 highway.
With a 4.10 axle ratio, the Avalanche has a towing capacity of 8,000 pounds. The workhorse ability for which Avalanche is best known is its cargo hauling, which displays the flexibility of a Midgate system. The cargo box is 5 feet 3 inches long, and has a standard locking tailgate and a hard three-piece tonneau cover that Chevy boasts gives it the “largest trunk in the industry.”

Folding down the Midgate expands the composite cargo floor to 8 feet, 2 inches long. You can lock the tailgate to protect cargo from the elements, as well as from thieves. Removing the cargo cover allows hauling of taller items. The Avalanche has a notably cavernous 20-plus-liter console, ideal for stowing a purse or a laptop. The glove compartment also is large. Premium materials are used in the interior. It’s dressed with chrome accents, brushed metal, woodgrain and leather. The LTZ model is upgraded with heated-and-cooled leather seats and a Bose surround-sound stereo.
