2010 Chevrolet Avalanche

Base MSRP $35,725

The 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche's design is unique in the market and attempts to solve passenger-hauling SUV needs and cargo-hauling pickup needs with a single truck. There's nothing else like the mid-gate in the market; it allows the bed to be expanded only when needed and have more interior space the rest of the time. Overall, handling and ride quality are a step above what might be expected in a full-size pickup, and the cabin has a refined feel with top-notch materials. Towing capacity is an impressive 8,100 pounds.
