Hank Graff Chevrolet Davison

The Chevrolet Avalanche is one of the more versatile vehicles on the road today. It successfully blends the comfort and passenger capacity of an SUV with the cargo flexibility of a pickup truck. While these two main attributes are also associated with full-size crew cab pickups, the Avalanche goes one step further with its distinctive fold-down midgate.

The term "midgate" refers to the removable wall that separates the cabin from the bed. The rear window and the wall separating the cabin from the bed can be opened up, either in part (by flipping down the midgate wall so a pass-through is created) or in whole (by also removing the rear window).

The Chevrolet Avalanche is a full-size SUV with an open bed in back as opposed to the normally covered, wagon-like cargo compartment. The midgate feature allows one to quickly change this rig from a six-passenger crew cab pickup with a 5-foot 3-inch cargo box to a three-passenger pickup with an approximate 8-foot cargo box. Bonus features include removable cargo covers and storage compartments placed along the outside of the cargo box.
