March 13, 2009

FEATURES | 9 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

LT is generally more desirable
Edmunds

A three-piece cargo cover is standard, though it's difficult to remove

Heated front seats, DVD-Audio
ForbesAutos

Depending on how much you’re willing to spend, you can accessorize the 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche nicely.

In addition to the innovative Midgate setup, which allows you to expand the pickup bed into the cabin when needed, the bed itself has some features worth mentioning. “The bed offers a non-slip mat that even held bags of ice in place. Each rear fender incorporates a lockable compartment, accessible from the top,” Cars.com reports. “A three-piece cargo cover is standard, though it's difficult to remove and even harder to stow.”

According to Edmunds, "there are two main trim levels; LS and LT, plus a premium line-topping LTZ package." Cars.com reports that "three trim levels are available: base LS, LT and top-of-the-line LTZ," and notes “all Avalanches come well-equipped with power windows, power door locks and keyless entry, as well as a power driver's seat and steering-wheel audio controls.”

Edmunds also suggests that the Chevrolet Avalanche 2009 "LT is generally more desirable because it's upgradeable with additional extras for those who want more than an entry-level vehicle" than a base 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche.

The Cars.com reviewer mentions such options as a navigation system, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and heated seats. TheCarConnection.com notes that other highlights of the options list include power-adjustable pedals, a remote start system, and Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist.

Conclusion

In addition to its cargo-versatility features, the 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche comes well equipped with the features luxury SUV buyers like.

Other Choices:

Two types of buyers are most interested in the Avalanche: those who need serious long-bed pickup truck ability but also have to haul passengers, and those who like the style and innovative Midgate design. Versus any of the full-size pickup or SUV competition, the Avalanche offers that rare combination of five-passenger comfort with an eight-foot bed, something you won't find in most pickups—at least not at the same time. The Cadillac Escalade EXT, which is similar structurally to the Avalanche and has a similar Midgate setup, is the choice for those who like the design but want even more luxury. For those who simply like the design of the Avalance and Escalade but don’t necessarily need the long-bed pickup capability or the flexibility, the Honda Ridgeline is a possibility; it has a design that’s a fresh break from the pickup norm, and like the Avalanche, it appeals to those who are looking for something different, style-wise.
