For both of its generations, the Chevrolet Avalanche has been based on General Motors’ full-size SUV platform. This means that its basic underpinnings and powertrains are similar to those of other GM full-size utes, and Cadillac builds a similar version called the Escalade EXT. Though it costs a bit more than the average crew-cab pickup, the versatile Avalanche has proven to be a reasonable sales success. For the shopper in need of a jack-of-all-trades vehicle, either generation of this unusual truck should make for a smart choice.

The 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche does double-duty as a crew hauler and a cargo hauler, with its seating for five and a large pickup bed. Avalanche comes as a 2-wheel drive or a 4-wheel, and in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. All models come with a 310 or 320hp 5.3L V8 engine with a 6.0L V8 engine optional. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and an added hauling ratio is standard. Of note is the Active Fuel Management feature on some models which drops the work load from the eight-cylinder configuration down to a four-cylinder firing arrangement to save fuel.
