The boating lifestyle offers many rewards…and challenges. If there has ever been an ideal vehicle for meeting those challenges, it’s the 2008 Chevy Avalanche. In less than a minute you can fold the rear seat, store the rear window and lower the GM exclusive mid-gate to provide 8'2" of weatherproof storage for carrying kayaks, wakeboards, and other awkward gear. Removable, lockable hard tonneau panels and handy side storage spaces provide further utility.

Inside, the Avalanche is just as versatile with up to six-passenger seating and available creature comforts like dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated seats. Avalanche offers premium entertainment options with available features like an iPod® Personal Audio Link, rear sound control and even a portable DVD player you can take aboard your boat. Avalanche also comes equipped with important safety features like dual-stage front airbags with Passenger Sensing System, which controls airbag deployment based on the size of the occupant, and standard OnStar with features like Advanced Automatic Crash Notification.

The Avalanche’s unique flexibility combines with serious towing power thanks to a choice of Vortec 5.3L gasoline or E85 FlexFuel V8s, or a 366 hp Vortec 6.0L V8 with a maximum towing capacity of 8,000 pounds. Conquering slippery launch ramps is never an issue with its available GM exclusive automatic locking rear differential and available four-wheel drive system with electronically selectable high- and low-range gears. Once you see the Avalanche in action, you’ll know – there’s simply nothing else like it on the road.
