Chevrolet Avalanche – pickup with a folding Midgate between cab and load bed, built on the Suburban platform at the Silao plant, 210 to 235 kW, 5.3-litre V8, around 2.6 to 2.8 tonnes unladen
This page gathers the versions of the Chevrolet Avalanche, which Chevrolet built from 2001 to 2013 on the Suburban platform and produced at its Silao plant in Mexico. The range's hallmark is the Midgate, a folding partition between the rear seat and the load bed that lets the load area be extended. C1500 denotes rear-wheel drive, K1500 the four-wheel-drive version of the half-ton class, and LT and LTZ the trim lines.

The register lists here 6 versions with 210 to 235 kW from eight-cylinders of 5,327 to 5,358 cm³, unladen weights from 2,561 to 2,798 kg, a gross weight of 3,175 to 3,266 kg, lengths from 5,600 to 5,620 mm and widths from 1,940 to 2,020 mm.
In North America the Avalanche occupied the niche between the classic pickup and the SUV and competed with the Ford F-150 SuperCrew and the Honda Ridgeline; the Midgate made it especially popular with recreational users who wanted to carry long loads without giving up an enclosed cab. After the range ended in 2013, Chevrolet has offered comparable load space through cab variants of the Silverado.
On used examples, smooth operation and sealing matter on the Midgate mechanism, intake-manifold gasket condition and the cooling system on the V8, bushes and shock absorbers in the suspension, and rust on the sills and frame on the body; parts run through the Chevrolet network.
