2013 Chevy Avalanche – Chevy’s Pickup Game

Discontinued in 2013, the Chevy Avalanche represented Chevy’s entry in the pickup segment and was considered a favorite among industry experts for its performance, utility, and seating for up to six passengers.

Actually, there were three trim levels: the LT, LS, and LTZ, but each came with a 4WD option. That single engine existed in the form of a 5.3L V8, backed by 320 horses, able to tow between 5,000-5,100 pounds, with fuel economy numbers listed at 15 city and 21 highway mpg.
