If you're weighing a 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for premium interior with heated leather seating, and innovative midgate design adds bed flexibility. The honest trade-off: significant fuel consumption for daily driving. This example sold for $19,995, showed 183,611 km and is rated an official 18.4 L/100km combined.

What to check before you buy

  • When shopping for this trim, inspect the tonneau cover condition and verify all 4X4 systems function smoothly. Check that the heated seats operate on all settings and confirm OnStar/GPS functionality. The LTZ trim commands higher interest rates, so ensure you're comfortable with the premium pricing versus lower trims. Test the truck bed dividers and appreciate the innovative Avalanche-exclusive features that justify the cost.
