2010 Chevrolet Avalanche LTZ

The 2010 Avalanche is Chevrolet's half-truck, half-SUV, blending a full-size pickup bed with an enclosed cabin. It drives smoothly for a big truck, with a ride that's more settled than you'd expect from something this size. The cabin is quiet and roomy, and the midgate folds down to open the bed into the cab for long items. Some owners mention the tire pressure sensors and other electronic sensors wearing out sooner than they'd like. The LTZ is the top trim above the LS and LT, adding leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a premium Bose audio system. Under the hood is a 5.3L V8 making 320 horsepower and 335 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. The LTZ's standard Autoride suspension adjusts damping on the fly, keeping the ride composed whether you're loaded or empty.
