Some owners also report issues with loose exterior moldings. The 2013 Chevy Avalanche is the final model year for the nameplate, offered with either the 5.3L V8 LMG, or the 5.3L V8 FlexFuel LC9.

The Avalanche was part of Chevy's truck lineup for a brief period in the early 21st Century. Here's its brief story, including why the model was discontinued.

They went through the trouble of sloping the roof down at an angle like you’d find on the regular Avalanche, and it even has a third set of windows back there.

Chevy made two generations of the Avalanche. The first was quite successful between 2002 and 2006 models and it was followed by the 2007 to 2013 model, which somehow failed and got discontinued.
