Chevrolet Avalanche

Part SUV, part pickup, the Chevrolet Avalanche (produced from 2002 through 2012) is a unique offering thanks to its innovative "midgate" design, which enables its small cargo bed to be extended into the cabin as needed for hauling larger items. This feature offers unmatched versatility for a vehicle in its class. The Avalanche also scores points for its comfortable ride and spacious interior. However, the model isn't without some drawbacks. Fuel economy isn't one of the Avalanche's strong suits, particularly when equipped with the V8 engine. Additionally, its large size can make it challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or heavy traffic. Some critics have also noted that the quality of some of its interior materials feels cheap compared to more upscale rivals, such as the Cadillac Escalade EXT.
