2013 chevrolet Black Diamond avalanche TOP TEN FEATURES 1. Black Diamond Avalanche – This commemorative edition of the Avalanche will celebrate the final year of production for this exceptional and trendsetting vehicle. Marked by specific content as well as body-colored bed surrounds and unique badging on the sail panel, the Black Diamond Avalanche is Chevrolet’s way of saying thank you to Avalanche enthusiasts. 2.Full-size pickup bed with exclusive Midgate design – Avalanche remains as the only vehicle that transforms from an SUV to a full-size pickup with an 8'2" cargo box. 3.Vortec 5.3L V8 – The standard engine on all Avalanche models. This engine is FlexFuel capable and also includes Active Fuel Management™. 4.Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist and Rearview Camera System – For greater convenience when backing up or attaching a trailer. OVERVIEW 2013 marks the final year of production for one of the most innovative vehicles in the North American market. Often described as the Ultimate Utility Vehicle, Avalanche has the capability to go from a 6-passenger full-size SUV to a full-size pickup with seating for three in a matter of moments. A key factor in its capability is the ease in which the changeover occurs with the exclusive Midgate, as well as the fact that there’s over 8' of protected cargo space. For 2013, changes include the addition of a new color and changes to packaging, especially as it relates to the Avalanche LS. Chevrolet Avalanche is available in three trim levels: • LS. • LT. • LTZ. WHAT’S NEW • Black Diamond Edition badging on all models. • Price drops $2,500 after equipment adjustments. • New exterior color: Fairway Metallic. • Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package is now available with Silver Ice Metallic, Black or Fairway Metallic exterior colors. • Convenience Package content is now standard on LS models.

Suspension and steering – Avalanche features a 4-wheel coil-spring suspension that provides a much smoother ride than the rear leaf-spring design commonly associated with pickup trucks. In addition, the rack-and-pinion steering responds quickly and precisely to driver steering inputs. 6.Remote locking tailgate – Standard on every Avalanche. This tailgate is locked by the button on the key fob or one of the interior door lock switches. 7.Eaton automatic locking rear differential (G80) – The G80 automatically locks the left and right rear wheels together when slippage is detected at lower speeds. This sends maximum drive power to the wheel with traction. 8.USB port – Allows connection and playback of audio files stored on compatible USB devices. 9. StabiliTrak with Proactive Roll Avoidance, Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist – GM’s sophisticated Electronic Stability Control System is standard on every Avalanche and is designed to help the driver keep the vehicle traveling on the desired path in the event of an oversteer or understeer situation. Proactive Roll Avoidance detects potential rollover situations and takes corrective action. Trailer Sway Control senses trailer sway and automatically applies the appropriate brakes to help maintain control. Hill Start Assist automatically engages to hold the truck stationary for about a second after the brake is released. This gives the driver time to accelerate before the truck can roll backward. 10.Commemorative Black Diamond Avalanche Book – To say thanks for incredible Avalanche customer loyalty over the past 12 years, Chevrolet is giving away a Black Diamond Avalanche hardcover coffee table book to all 2013 model purchasers. Along with highlighting the history, accolades and customer reactions over the years, each book will be personalized with a portrait of the truck they purchased and a detailed reprint of their window label. Salespeople must register each customer’s VIN at the time of delivery at MyBlackDiamondAvalanche.com in order for books to be properly matched with customer information. avalanche: 1 2013 chevrolet Black Diamond avalanche STYLing, COMFORT & CONVENIENCE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR •Distinctive styling – As the industry’s most flexible utility vehicle, Avalanche combines its great capabilities with distinctive features indicative of all the things it can do for and with its owners.
