Chevrolet Avalanche
Though it looks like a classic truck, the Chevrolet Avalanche possesses several features worthy of an SUV. On the road, this is a comfortable vehicle with a spacious cab. It is powered by a 5.3-litre V6 engine producing 310 horsepower, linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. And though a rear-wheel drive is offered, we favour the all-wheel drive system. Its cab/bed configuration is unique and practical. Also ingenious are the storage bins in the sides of the bed.
