    Chevrolet Avalanche

    EPA MPG: 17 mpg

    RECALL ALERT:
    There are 4 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    The Chevrolet Avalanche is a full-sized crew-cab pickup with an innovative folding partition GM calls a "midgate". This allows the extension the truck's bed into its cab. With an available full-time four-wheel drive system, the Avalanche did very well in our testing. It's quiet, rides comfortably and the Chevy's optional rearview camera system greatly improves outward visibility to the rear.
