The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating

Read Our Full Review

7.4

TCC’s Bottom Line

The clever, useful Chevy Avalanche takes a final bow largely unchanged; we like the idea, but not enough truck buyers were into its short bed or its fold-down midgate.

TCC Likes

V-8 performance
Clever midgate concept
Seats five or six

TCC Dislikes

Singing its swan song
V-8 only
Upright rear bench seat
