From its debut as a 2002 model, the Chevrolet Avalanche has been defined by its unique Midgate and the one trick it performs: flipping down its Midgate to extend its pickup bed inside the cabin, turning it from a short-bed pickup to a sort of long-bed truck with a partial roof...

All the others are similar full-size trucks with no midgate, but a choice of engines, transmissions, box lengths, and drivetrains.
