The 2005 Avalanche 1500 is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the crew cab pickup market segment. The LT is a member of a series of five trim levels for the Avalanche 1500 which include Base, Z66, Z71, LS, and LT. The four-door truck with its four-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet. There is strong competition from vehicles from Infiniti.
A high point in the crew cab pickup market is the Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. In 2002 Chevrolet rolled out an upgraded version of the Avalanche 1500 with three versions: Z71, Base, and On Road Edition. Sales for the Avalanche 1500, especially the Avalanche 1500 On Road Edition, were brisk during 2002 and 2003. The improved reliability and the updated styling were responsible for the increased interest.
The Avalanche 1500 On Road Edition is equipped with a General Motors 5.3 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
