Chevy looks to end production of Avalanche

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., Sept. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Making its debut in 2001, as a 2002 model, Chevy rolled out with a vehicle that changed the way we looked at vehicles forever. Sort of like a hybrid mix between an SUV and a pickup truck, the Chevy Avalanche was designed to be both a functional passenger hauler and a pickup truck workhorse all in one. Becoming increasingly popular in states like Wisconsin, the Chevy Avalanche was perfect for the adventure seekers who wanted to work, as well as play in the many outdoor recreational activities that the Midwest states offered. Sadly to say, it looks like the 2013 Chevy Avalanche near Eau Claire, WI will be the last year of production for the beloved pickup truck SUV.

Equipped with GM's 5.3-liter engine, the 2013 Chevy Avalanche near Eau Claire, WI (here) is more than a capable vehicle option. Providing impressive amounts of power and fuel efficiency, the Avalanche produces 320 horsepower and 335lb-ft of torque, which is perfect for pulling large trailers of over 8,000 lbs. The 2013 Chevy Avalanche near Eau Claire, WI, also utilizes GM's active fuel management system, shutting down cylinders when driving power isn't needed; the Avalanche is able to achieve a highway 21 mpg rating, which is very good for a fully capable V8 vehicle.  Despite generous amounts of power and fuel efficiency, where the Avalanche really shines is when it comes to functionality. Transforming from a spacious five passenger people hauler to a versatile pickup in just minutes, the possibilities for the Avalanche are endless.  It still remains a mystery why Chevy is deciding to stop making the Avalanche, if you have the need in your life for SUV functionality and pickup truck capabilities, we suggest you hurry up and get an Avalanche while you still can.
