Avalanche Engine, Transmission,
& Fuel Economy
When you want
SUV style, comfort, and feeling combined with pick-up truck power and
capability, you want the 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche, available in Columbus, WI. And you can find this vehicle here at Frank Porth,
serving Crivitz, Marinette, and Beaver Creek, WI.
Available in LS, LT, and LTZ trim levels and in
RWD and 4WD drivetrain configurations, the 2011 Avalanche is powered by a
standard Vortec 5.3L V8 engine. Sporting Active Fuel Management
technology and FlexFuel capability that allows it to run on either
unleaded fuel or E85, this engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive and generates an impressive 320 horsepower,
335 pound-feet of torque, and a towing capacity of 8,100 pounds when
properly equipped. All that power, however, does not come at the price
of fuel efficiency; even though this truck is a bruiser, it still
achieves fuel economy of 15 city/21 highway and a driving range of up to
650 highway miles when powered by gas.

Avalanche Standard Equipment and
Options
Pretty much anything is easily
transportable in the Avalanche thanks to an extremely spacious cargo
area that gives you 50 inches of space between the wheel housing,
8-feet-2-inches of depth, and 45.5 cubic feet of space overall. These
numbers are achieved via a locking tailgate, a removable lockable
three-piece cargo cover, a removable rear window, and a GM
segment-exclusive Midgate. Doubling as a place to store the rear window,
the Midgate is a 60/40 split-folding bench seat that can be left up in
order to accommodate 5 or 6 passengers, folded and paired with the rear
window to give you access to the largest trunk in the industry, or
lowered all the way down to allow for maximum cargo room. For the people
inside, leather upholstery coupled with dual-zone automatic climate
control and heated/cooled power front seats with lumbar support and
memory keep everyone comfortable on long drives.
Keep
the kids entertained with the rear-seat DVD entertainment system. Let
all that invigorating fresh air and sunlight in with the power
tilt/sliding sunroof with wind deflector. Always arrive to your
destination on time with the navigation radio with XM NavTraffic and
OnStar Directions & Connections Plan including Turn-by-Turn
Navigation. Make or take cell phone calls hands-free with Bluetooth
wireless technology. Jam to your favorite music on the AM/FM/CD/XM
Satellite Radio sound system with MP3 playback, USB port, and auxiliary
input jacks or on the 7-speaker Bose sound system version. Or, for the
ultimate music experience, you can upgrade to the 8-speaker Bose
Centerpoint Surround Sound system variation. Other features/options
include heated power signal side mirrors, automatic headlights, running
boards, fog lights, aluminum wheels, front tow hooks, luggage rack,
universal home remote, automatic locking rear differential, power
