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 |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review |
