The Chevrolet Avalanche manufacture by Chevrolet automobile company. Read more to view more detail and video reviews. Please feel free to comments and give rating to help others
The Chevrolet Avalanche is a four-door, five or six passenger sport utility truck sharing GM’s long-wheelbase chassis used on the Chevrolet Suburban and Cadillac Escalade EXT. Unlike the typical pickup truck, the open bed of the Avalanche opens to the back seat area via a folding panel (marketed as a ‘midgate’) and removable rear window. A series of three removable panels form a watertight top for the cargo bed. Additional storage is provided behind each wheelwell, accessed by locking flip-top panels and usable as self-draining ice chests.
The name Avalanche derives from the dangerous and sudden collapse of mountain snowpacks known as the avalanche.
Avalanche was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model on the GMT800 platform. First year Avalanches featured light gray plastic body cladding, intended to provide visual distinction from the Suburban/Yukon XL. Avalanche also gave the public an advance look at the next generation of front fascia designs for the entire GM line. A full-length chrome strip splits each lamp assembly and the grille, with a gold Chevrolet “bow tie” in the center. The hood and fenders featured aggressive folds, in contrast to the soft box of the other GMT800 models.
2003 models featured darker cladding, but GM’s new president, Rick Wagoner, demanded deletion of this “unpopular” trim (as did certain elements of the public). From mid-year, Avalanche could be ordered without the cladding. The uncladded model, known as the Without Body Hardware (or better by its acronym “WBH”), and alternatively called “slicksides” by GM marketers, resembles the ’03-’05 Silverado in the front.
Avalanche was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award and was Motor Trend magazine’s SUV of the Year for 2002[1].
