2012 Chevrolet Avalanche Reviews

2012 Chevrolet Avalanche

Full-size pickups stake their reputations on towing and payload - so what can be made from a truck that blurs the line between truck bed and cabin? That's the question you should ask when you consider the year 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche, a derivative of GM's big pickups that offers a unique solution for almost dilemma of truck owners who do not need another vehicle, but sometimes it needs to be more flexible pickup.

The Lanche 'new in 2002, and changed along with the rest of GM trucks in model year 2007. This is the truck in silhouette, but the pillar behind the rear door is the first clue that this is not just a four door with a bed. Those pillars are the distinguishing features of the Silverado Avalanche are very similar and even the GMC Sierra - if not, that they are nearly identical twins, from the split-grille front end of a big fat rear tailgate. Inside, when everything is in its resting state, the cabin can be confused for that other GM truck - either as a five-passenger truck with a wide console and well-chosen materials and trim, or primary six passenger version looks better without the console, and a little more clearly.

When it's in a state of change, Avalanche swap a portion of the interior space for the pickup-bed capacity. Very simple: just lower the rear windows, folding rear seats and fold away some hooks, and rear wall of the cabin turned down. Which extends tailgate if abbreviated Avalanche into something more useful way for the average contractor, as it grows from 5 '3 "to 8' 2", and since the wall bed has a hard surface that can actually be used for truck - type transport. Drawback: the conversion to leave the cabin open to the elements. And yes, they go back seating position, but even though you will have mixed feelings on their departure (rear seat backrest is too upright for real comfort), you could run into some extreme first-world problems if you try to bring home vanity new bathrooms and in-laws. That rarely happens, though, and most of the time Avalanche is the only solution for suburbanites trapped between SUVs and pickups and lack of parking spaces. This Murphy bed truck - not for everyone, but for those solutions, only a few are really only workable, except for near-twin, the Cadillac Escalade EXT scary-expensive.

There is only one powertrain available in 'Lanche, and it's one of the best offered in the GM truck lineup. The 310-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 is equipped with a six-speed automatic, and whether you choose a rear-drive or all-wheel drive, it was a hard worker drivetrain, torquey, capable, and fun to hear the motion. It also comes with cylinder deactivation and flex-fuel capability, which gives a green tinge from multiple machines from Toyota, Nissan, and Dodge. Shifting duties are handled by a six-speed automatic. Avalanche is moving as well as other GM trucks, independent front suspension, steering feels well sorted and well damped ride get the same praise as the Silverado. There is a Z71 off-road package for those who need protection underbody and large protruding tires, too. Avalanche can tow up to 8100 pounds and 1350 pounds of payload tote, put it on the median in the full size truck.

Crash-test scores have been quite good, and the Avalanche can be equipped with rear parking sensors and a rearview camera and a blind-spot monitor. Visibility can be a problem, because they thick pillars, so that these features come with our recommendation.
The Avalanche base, LS, is more intended for people working even though it was pretty well equipped. It has standard power windows, locks and mirrors, keyless entry, a power driver's seat, the player AM / FM / XM / CD with MP3 capability, a USB port and steering-wheel audio controls. LT and LTZ adds another feature of the list of luxury features include a navigation system; Bluetooth, Bose audio, leather upholstery, power-adjustable pedals, remote start, and ventilation for the front seats.
