It wasn't designed for everyone, and people who need a work truck are usually better suited with a Silverado or Colorado, but the Avalanche does have a market and might have benefitted from a restyle had GM put forth the effort to keep it in production. Instead, they created a truck that looks just like GM's other SUVs and failed to advertise the versatility and usefulness of this unique platform. I'm a sports car guy, but if I had a need for a truck, I would be an Avalanche buyer.

Pretty sure it rides on a traditional truck/SUV frame
