TAKE ON THE REAL WORLD –ON YOUR OWN TERMS.

The challenges are formidable. Hauling tonnes of cargo. Transporting a full house of family or friends. Making your own tracks where the road ends. Chevrolet’s family of full-sizeutility vehicles have the rock-solid credentials needed to make easy work of even the toughest demands. But for the 2011 Tahoe, Suburban and Avalanche that is only half the story. The flip-side of their colossal hauling capacity, power and strength is represented by their impressive fuel efficiency, a range of advanced technologies and highly refined cabins offering the latest in amenities. The quality is also unimpeachable, with Tahoe, Suburban and Avalanche each having won prominent industry quality awards in the past year. These trucks lead the way in other important areas, with the leading-edge technology of Tahoe Hybrid’s Two-Mode Hybrid System. It is the most vivid demonstration of how the latest in Chevrolet engineering can help you take on your world your way.

SOME THINGS CHANGE. SOME DON’T.

Avalanche makes an effortless transition from luxuriously appointed SUV to a cargo-swallowing full-size pickup in less than a minute. That’s thanks to the innovative Midgate TM that either forms the back of the SUV cabin or folds down to extend the floor of the cargobox to more than eight feet (2438 mm) in length. What doesn’t change with Avalanche is Chevrolet’s legendary capability. The same 320 horsepower Vortec 5.3L V8 that’s under the hood of Tahoe and Suburban 1500 powers Avalanche, and with it come the fuel efficiency gains of Active Fuel Management and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). And the cargo box can handle a full-size load, with payload capacities that extend up to 601 kg (1326 lb.).*Ready for a change? So is Avalanche.

THE ULTIMATE IN MULTI-TASKING.

It’s the SUV of pickups. Or the pickup of SUVs. Either way, it results in unrivalled versatility.And it’s all due to the Convert-A-Cab TM system, with the Midgate as its centre piece. When folded down it creates a cargo box that can carry 4' x 8' sheets of building material with the tailgate closed in its upright position. No hassles and no tools required. The cargo box itself makes easy work of loading, unloading and securing objects, thanks to features like grab handles, lockable 48 L (1.7 cu. ft.) top box storage compartments, eight cargo tie-downs anda cargo light. To keep your cargo dry and secure, Avalanche also includes a rigid three-piececargo cover. No wonder Avalanche is called the Ultimate Utility Vehicle.
