2008-2013 Chevrolet Avalanche
Half-Ton Truck
The Avalanche has some of the most versatile features for a five-passenger, four-door truck. This includes a pass-through allowing for larger items to enter the passenger compartment and a lockable tailgate so that all items could be secured. During its time on the market, all trucks came with a V8 engine that could be mated to a rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or a true 4x4 with low rang transfer case for whatever off-road performance an owner needed. It was recognized by JD Power's in their Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) study.
