Select a 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche Trucks Trim

Largely unchanged from last year, the 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche is an attempt to combine the best of pickups and SUVs. New features are the OnStar system, Bluetooth connectivity and a rear back-up camera that does not require a navigation system. The LTZ trim now includes features such as heated and cooled leather seats and a Bose surround-sound stereo as standard. Available with either 2WD or 4WD, 2WD models boast a 5.3L V8 with 310 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque and a new 6-speed automatic transmission. Optional is a larger 6.0L V8 delivering 366 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 14 mpg city/20 mpg hwy and 16 mpg combined for 2WD versions with the 5.3L engine. Chevy Avalanche photos show a flexible mid-gate design, a removable partition separating the cabin from the bed, which considerably enhances its functionality. The mid-gate design allows a variety of configurations, including a fully open pickup bed or a fully enclosed dry cargo area.
