. And similarly upstaging the introduction of Toyota’s new Tundra, Chevrolet detailed the new Avalanche’s extensive array of gear, including standard stability control, flex-fuel engines and a rearview camera that will help ‘Lanche drivers back up their vehicles safely. The ’07 model gains a much smoother appearance shared in part with the new Tahoe—and not surprisingly, the Avalanche also shares the Tahoe’s 5.3-liter V-8 with cylinder deactivation and 320 hp. A 355-hp, 6.0-liter V-8 with cylinder deactivation will be an option. The Avalanche sports a rich-looking interior with a dash 4 inches lower than that in the last Avalanche. Three-mode curtain airbags, rear park assist and that rearview camera are just some of the features coming to the Avalanche. And with the addition of an E85-compatible flex-fuel version of the truck, Chevrolet says it now offers six vehicles that can run on ethanol—Tahoe, Silverado, Suburban and Avalanche, and Impala and Monte Carlo.
