2010 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 Overview

Price Range: $35,725 to $48,865

Your Price: Ask Us

Based on the full-size Chevrolet Suburban SUV platform, the versatile 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche is essentially a full-size SUV with a truck bed, thereby combining the comfort and utility of an SUV with the cargo and towing capability of a pickup truck.

Nine years after its 2002 debut, the 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche is available in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels, two- and four-wheel-drive configurations, and is powered by a respectable 320-horsepower, 5.3-liter flex-fuel V-8 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The 6.0-liter V-8 has been discontinued for 2010. EPA estimated fuel economy ratings are 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. With a maximum capacity of 8,100 pounds, the Avalanche can certainly tow like a full-size pickup.

Facing competition from Nissan Titan, Honda Ridgeline, Toyota Tundra, Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram, the Chevrolet Avalanche offers a midgate that folds the second-row seat and opens up an eight-foot cargo floor. The midgate can also be removed so you can get some fresh air while you cruise down the highway. Lockable side-mounted storage in the cargo bed, a locking tailgate and cargo cover provide additional secured storage options. A standard 3.08:1 rear axle reduces engine speed during cruising to improve fuel economy and a new USB port allows MP3 compatibility.

The 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche sits on standard 17-inch wheels with available massive, 22-inch chrome wheels and features power running boards on LTZ models. Inside, the Avalanche offers dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable pedals, remote vehicle start and a heavy-duty rear-locking differential. Additional convenience and luxury features include a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, touch-screen navigation and titanium or cashmere interiors (select models only).

The 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche is loaded with standard safety technologies, including roof-mounted side curtain airbags with rollover protection, front seat belt pretensioners, an electronic stability system with rollover mitigation technology, seat-mounted side airbags for front occupants and OnStar with GM Advanced Crash Response. A handful of options include ultrasonic rear parking assist and a rearview camera to minimize blind spots while you’re backing up.

Combining the best attributes of a full-size SUV and a pickup, the 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche offers cargo-carrying versatility, a powerful standard V-8 engine and tons of class-leading safety technologies.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
