Few know that in FrenchChevrolet Avalanche means "avalanche". This model, the American company Chevrolet, has been producing since 2000. The famous automobile show in the city of Detroit marked the beginning of an acquaintance of motorists with Chevrolet Avalanche. A year after that presentation, the new pickup truck from Chevrolet received worldwide fame, due to its bright appearance, increased comfort and excellent technical characteristics. All the original ideas about the body-transformer were so well implemented that the company refused to produce another Chevrolet Lincoln Blackwood pickup truck.
Even today Chevrolet Avalanchemaintains its position in the leading positions among all the comfortable cars of this class, "wiping his nose" on other manufacturers and far ahead. Thanks to this brilliant success in the market, Chevrolet, using the experience gained, is developing a new line of all-wheel drive vehicles for the GM pickup series: Colorado and GMC Canyon.

Among the technical characteristics can be identifiedthat the Chevrolet Avalanche is equipped with a petrol engine of 5.3 liters capacity, which is 290 hp.

Passage Chevrolet Avalanche is not inferiorother full-size Chevrolet SUVs. However, it is a very heavy car with a lot of inertia and not the best in the world in terms of geometry, because it has two most vulnerable places: the caravans and towbars. The heavy motor also has an effect under such loads as hard-to-reach patency. The towbar, which creates some problems, is not included in every car kit. If it is not planned to be used, it is better not to put it at all, so that it does not interfere with off-road driving. And the paddles, which also hamper the relief patency, can be removed if desired. It is not at all difficult to do this, since they are attached to practically decorative, but sturdy brackets.
Chevrolet Avalanche - almost the first five-door pickup launchedin mass production. Also its peculiarity is that its design is unique for this time: the one-piece case has a removable back wall, resulting in a closed platform with a length of 2.5 m. In reverse order, this truck can be turned into a five-door SUV with easy movements. At the same time, the cargo hold remains, however, reduced in length to 1.6 m, which in itself is quite a lot. And it closes with a standard plastic lid.
Until now, this car is popular withcar owners, and many wish to acquire it, since it fully justifies its value. The Chevrolet Avalanche car price depends on the year of its release and from the region. For example, the model of the year 2012 with mileage costs about 2.5 million rubles. The 2002 model can be purchased for 670 thousand rubles, but this price also depends on the technical condition of the car.
