2010 Chevrolet Avalanche boastfully flaunts its split personality of an SUV and a pick up truck. The front end styling is quite familiar yet flamboyant. The wraparound front bumper covers blends nicely with the exterior body. The big twin front grille, pronounced fenders and a brief truck bed makes it a crowd pleasing vehicle. The designers have well styled this edition with sails that connect the cab to the bed and highlight the smooth roofline.
Overall it is a well crafted vehicle with an only drawback with the rearward visibility.
Inside the cabin. The 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche has been tastefully designed with decent interiors. GM has picked up the interior styling cues from Tahoe and Suburban. The cabin boasts of curvaceous dashboard and comfortable and supportive seats in the front row. It has a wide centre console which offers generous storage space. The cabin is designed with a midgate in the middle, when this midgate is up it can comfortably seat five passengers and when it is down expands the cargo area into the passenger cab. Overall the 2010 Avalanche edition depicts an upscale and functional interior.
Features of 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. The 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche is available in LS, LT and premium LTZ trim. The LS trim is a base level which includes basic features that are necessary for a pick up truck. The LT trim is more desirable as it includes additional features and they are also upgradeable at an extra cost for all those who wish more than an entry level vehicle.

The upper trims are equipped with keyless entry, power windows, power door locks, AM/FM/CD player, and a USB port for ipod and MP3 player.


There are various optional features which are available such as leather seats, navigation system, rear seat, DVD entertainment system, a Bose audio system and Bluetooth. The entire off road users can buy a Z71 off road package which includes fog lamps, special trim, and big recovery hooks. 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche Powertrain. The 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche is equipped with 5.3 liter V8 engine with flex fuel capacity which generates 310 hp and 300 pounds feet of torque. It is teamed with six speed automatic transmission. This edition is available in two wheel or four wheel drive. This edition offers an estimated fuel economy of 14/20 mpg. When fully equipped this brute can tow up to 8,100 pounds and haul 1350 pounds of payload.
We noted that the acceleration is adequately good on highways and town side. However the acceleration and fuel economy loses its performance when it is fully loaded with cargo or passengers. Overall it provides decent power and handling for a rugged vehicle.
When you own a vehicle, you always want it to be at its best. And that takes more than just oil changes and the occasional car wash. You need more.

All-new Chevy Avalanche.

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.

Chevrolet Avalanche review.2

The GMT900 Avalanche was introduced at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2006. Production of the redesigned Avalanche began at the Silao Assembly in March 2006. The Avalanche maintains the styled front end much like its sister vehicles, the Tahoe/Yukon and Suburban/Yukon XL, yet it still has the distinct midgate and integrated bed as found on the previous incarnation. It has all the same standard and available features as the Suburban and the Tahoe.

Later models introduced another version of the Vortec 5.3-liter V8 as the engine is now capable of running on E85 ethanol. When the 5.3 is running on normal gasoline, it produces 320 horsepower (239 kW) and 335 pound-feet (454 N·m) of torque whereas its output rises to 326 horsepower (243 kW) and 348 pound-feet (472 N·m) of torque on E85, up from 310 horsepower (231 kW) and 335 pound-feet (454 N·m) in 2009. For the 2010 model year, the 6.0 was dropped from the Avalanche lineup which left the 5.3 V8 as the only engine available for the truck. In its final year, the 6.0 produced 366 horsepower (273 kW) and 376 pound-feet (510 N·m) of torque.
A 2007 Avalanche was given away to the Most Valuable Player of the 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Michael Young. An Avalanche is regularly featured on the popular US crime drama CSI New York and is driven by all members of the team.
