The Chevrolet Avalanche has been proving itself in the truck world since 2002. With the introduction of the Avalanche, Chevrolet was the first to develop the midgate feature, allowing you to seat up to 6 passengers with a 5 foot bed, or 3 passengers with an 8 foot bed. The Avalanche also comes with removable cargo covers and storage compartments along the outside of the cargo box, giving you maximum cargo room without the wagon-like styling. What makes the Avalanche so useful is its versatility to change when you need it to. If you are looking for the ultimate functional hauling and towing vehicle, this is it.

Edmunds.com Chevrolet Avalanche Review
The Chevrolet Avalanche is one of the more versatile vehicles on the road today. It successfully blends the comfort and passenger capacity of an SUV with the cargo flexibility of a pickup truck. While these two main attributes are also associated with full-size crew cab pickups, the Avalanche goes one step further with its distinctive fold-down midgate.
