Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD |
The interior is basically a Tahoe and even with 5 people, the truck is comfortable. Rear AC and headphone jacks help too. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |

2006 | 2dr Hatch 201-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The rear seat is not much use if the front passengers are over 6ft. Very little head/leg room. But you don’t buy this type of car to haul 4 people around. But in a pinch I’ve had 4 in there, and I’m 6’4”. see full Acura RSX review |
