YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2007 4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Plenty of room for 3 adults, even with a tall adult in the middle seat. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Not wide enough for circumferentially challenged bodies. Bottom cushion too narrow, confined bolsters, not long enough under thighs. see full Toyota 4Runner review
