Consumer Reports Names Chevrolet Avalanche as a Top Pick

 

Consumer Reports has selected the Chevrolet Avalanche full-size sport utility truck as its Top Pick honoree among all 2009 pickups. Top Picks are the best all-around vehicles in their categories and must meet CR's road test, reliability and safety requirements.

 

"The Chevrolet Avalanche full-sized crew cab ($36,000 to $47,000) is one of the most versatile and comfortable pickups that Consumer Reports has tested," according to the magazine. "Its unified bed and cab helps give it a solid feel and a comfortable, quiet ride. Its innovative partition, between the cab and the bed, can be folded to allow longer cargo to extend into the back of the cab."

 

The Avalanche was the only domestic vehicle chosen in the 10 categories that make up CR's Top Picks.

 

In earning the award, the Avalanche replaces the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab, last year's pickup truck Top Pick.

Isn't this the same company that rates toasters, vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers?

It's still very impressive that Consumer Reports would even say anything positive about a GM truck. It's clear that the folks at CR are not truck people.

Which is why the Pantyline has been their top rated truck for the last few years (basically a minivan with the back chopped off, but I guess ride, and which direction the tailgate opens is more important than towing or payload, since nobody actually does those things with a truck).

My wife had one and we liked it least of all GMs we have ever owned over the last 34 years. That isn't too bad really, because we really liked all the others. The Chickup just didn't measure up to all the others.
