Used 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche LS Sport Utility Pickup 4D 5 1/4 Ft

If you need the 6-passenger capacity of an SUV, but the stuff you regularly haul behind the seats is frequently dirty or dripping something you’d rather not clean up, the 2012 Chevy Avalanche truck is the vehicle for you. Tow rated up to 8,100 pounds – 7,900 with 4-wheel drive (4WD) – the Avalanche is the perfect companion to all of your big toys.

If you don’t need the midgate feature, you can get the same type of utility from a full-size crew-cab pickup and probably save some cash in the process. The 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche truck is not easy on fuel, nor is it a joy to maneuver into small parking spaces or narrow garages. If you like the pickup-bed/SUV-cab idea, but don’t need the towing ability or size afforded by the Avalanche, the Honda Ridgeline might make a good second choice.
