  • FLEXIBILITY The GM-exclusive Midgate(3) helps deliver unrivaled versatility by turning Avalanche from an SUV to a full-size pickup with an 8-foot 2-inch cargo box(4) in less than a minute. SEE THE CHANGE link text

    MIDGATE

    With the GM-exclusive Midgate, Avalanche is the most flexible vehicle out there.(1) It can change from a six-passenger SUV to a full-size pickup with seating for three and an eight-foot-long protected cargo box.(2)

    Here´s how Avalanche can be transformed:
    • The 60/40 split-bench rear seat folds forward, allowing you to lower the Midgate and create an extended 8-ft. 2-in. x 4-ft. protected cargo box
    • For taller cargo, the removable rear window stores securely against the inside of the Midgate to increase storage space. Or remove the rear window to enjoy the thrill of open-air driving
    • You can transport large items such as a foosball table or an ATV with the tailgate closed
    • The rear window and cargo cover can also remain in place to help protect cargo like 8-ft. x 4-ft. sheets of plywood or sports gear, such as hunting and fishing equipment, from the elements
    • The Midgate is comprised of a strong, lightweight composite material that helps to reduce overall vehicle weight and resists scratches, dents and dings

  • FUEL SOLUTIONS The Vortec V8 engines in Avalanche feature Active Fuel Management technology, which deactivates four of the eight cylinders when extra power isn't needed, such as when cruising down the highway on level roads. LEARN MORE link text

    ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT

    With Active Fuel Management from GM, power is delivered when you need it, and you get the efficiency of four cylinders when you don´t.

    • The Vortec 5.3L and 6.0L V8 engines (available in 2LT (1) and LTZ models) transition seamlessly from eight cylinders to four cylinders and back again, making them both powerful and efficient. In addition, the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays a message, notifying the driver of this transition
    • In situations where extra power is not needed — such as cruising down the highway on level roads — Active Fuel Management deactivates four of the eight cylinders with seamless precision
    • When load demands increase — such as when the vehicle accelerates or travels uphill — valves are reactivated to provide eight-cylinder operation.
    • Active Fuel Management technology helps the 2009 Avalanche 2WD equipped with the Vortec 5.3L V8 engine offer an EPA estimated 20 MPG highway when running on gasoline
    • The bottom line: These Vortec V8 engines are more efficient in providing the energy to move the vehicle when only four of the eight cylinders are operating

Once authorities have a clear line of sight to the vehicle and confirm that conditions are safe, they can request OnStar send a remote signal to gradually slow down the stolen vehicle.

The rugged Z71 Off-Road Package is available on 2LT in two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive (4x4) models. And because you never know where the next turn will take you, Avalanche LT and LTZ models feature OnStar6 with a standard one-year Directions & Connections Plan that includes Turn-by-Turn Navigation.7 Depending on the model, Avalanche can seat either five or six.
