Chevrolet Avalanche – crossover pickup with folding Midgate: 5.3 to 8.1-litre V8 engines, 202 to 253 kW, gross weights up to 3,901 kg
The Chevrolet Avalanche was a crossover pickup built by General Motors in Silao, Mexico, from 2001 to 2013, combining the open cargo bed of a conventional pickup with a fixed cabin and a folding partition (Midgate) between the passenger compartment and the bed. The numbers 1500 and 2500 in designations such as Avalanche 1500-4WD and Avalanche 2500-4WD denote, as with other GM pickups, the payload class (half-ton and three-quarter-ton respectively), while Z71 and LTZ marked the off-road package and the upmarket trim level.

The register lists 9 versions with 202 to 253 kW from V8 engines of 5,320 to 8,128 cc. Kerb weights run from 2,630 to 3,150 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,500 to 3,901 kg. Lengths run from 5,550 to 5,630 mm, widths from 1,950 to 2,070 mm.
The Avalanche targeted buyers wanting a family-friendly SUV with a pickup's payload, competing with the Ford F-150 SuperCrew, the Cadillac Escalade EXT and its GMC sister model on the shared GMT800/GMT900 platform. Four-wheel-drive versions were popular in North America on job sites and for recreational use.
When buying a used example, key checks include corrosion around the Midgate mechanism and its seals to the cargo bed, the condition of the automatic transmission, and possible head-gasket leaks on the 8.1-litre V8 engines. The transfer case and four-wheel-drive coupling should be checked for fault codes. Parts are widely available thanks to the model's kinship with the Silverado and Suburban, through GM service and independent parts suppliers.
