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.”

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.
