2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LTZ
Sometimes you want an SUV to get the kids to soccer practice while other times you need a truck to haul all that stuff home for the big project. What to buy? Get the Chevrolet Avalanche LTZ and you’ll never find yourself asking the question again. Decision made. This ingenious “Best Of” truck combines the best passenger features of an SUV with the versatile utility of a pick-up truck. GM‘s exclusive Midgate converts in a flash from a 6-passenger SUV to a full-sized truck with an extended 8’2” x 4’ protected cargo box. That’s just a sampling of the smart things this tough and clever truck offers. The removable rear window extends the truck bed into the back seat area for even more space, while the Active Fuel Management system seamlessly switches between 4- and 8-cylinder operation to maximize efficiency without sacrificing power from the Vortec 5.3L V8 with E85 FlexFuel capability. The Avalanche LTZ has all the interior appointments you’d expect from a luxury car including leather-appointed front bucket seats, dual-zone temperature controls, a Bose 7-speaker system and OnStar with Turn-by-Turn Navigation. Rainsense windshield wipers, ultrasonic rear-parking assist, StabiliTrack Electronic Stability Control System and head-curtain side-impact bags also highlight a seemingly endless list of amazing amenities on this “Best Of” truck.
