With the holidays now upon us and plenty of white stuff out in the yard (at least for some of us, that is), we decided it might be fun to dig up an old nameplate from the Chevy portfolio and do a new rendering for all you fine folks. So then – say hello to the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche!
Naturally, we have to preface this new rendering with a disclaimer that, as far as we know, General Motors doesn’t actually plan on producing a new 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche. Rather, we thought it would be fun to pen up such a creation just to see what it might look like.
With that in mind, let’s dive into the rendering:
Up front, the 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche sports the same fascia design as the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Suburban. Indeed, we based our rendering off the next-gen full-size SUV that just debuted earlier this month, down to the broad front fascia and restyled lighting signatures.
For those that may be unaware, the original Avalanche was also based on the Suburban, hence the similarities between this 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche rendering and the latest next-gen Suburban. We’d also expect a next-gen Avalanche to come with all the same upgrades as the new Suburban, including the GM T1 vehicle architecture and an independent rear suspension.
Moving towards the rear of the vehicle, we find the four-door show its pickup influence with the hatch section converted into an open bed. While the 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche wouldn’t have the same space as, say, a full-size pickup like the Chevrolet Silverado, it would still strike a nice balance between passenger room and cargo room – just like the original.
In back, we also see the influence of the next-gen Suburban, with the taillamp housings, horizontal chrome trim, and quad exhaust pipes reflecting the latest Suburban’s design scheme.
Produced between 2001 and 2013, the original Chevrolet Avalanche nameplate saw just two generations come and go. This is what a third-generation might look like.
Are you a fan of our 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche rendering? Are you a fan of the original Avalanche? Let us know in the comments, and tell us what you would do with a vehicle like this.

Comments
If they made a new avalanche that had the 3.0 diesel, sub 5,200lb curb weight, IRS with at least 1,500lb payload, and offered the Tahoe interior standard. Same folding bulkhead as the classic Avalanche.
I would very likely buy instead of a Silverado. Avalanche was a great truck and I think is due for a return. I’ve thought it would be great to return on a smaller T1 frame to be slightly smaller than Silverado (similar in size as the 2007-2013 Rado). And here’s the curve ball, offer a Buick version
I would love to see it! Good job!
Rij momenteel zeven jaar een Avalanche uit 2012 ,nog nooit zo n geweldige auto onder m n kont gehad,hoop echt dat de er een nieuwe versie van komt!! Ben waarschijnlijk de eerste die hem dan koopt
Would buy a 2021 Chevy Avalanche in a heart beat. Still have a 2008 and love it.
I WISH THEY WOULD. MAKE IT AGAIN I WOULD BUY ONE SLAM IT ON THE FLOOR I WOULD LIKE IT TO COME WITH A FEW ENGINE SIZE OPTION LAY IT ON SOME LEXANI WHEELS 26 INCE AND JL AUDIO STEREO SYSTEM WITH A. VERY NICE HEADDECK PIONEER OR KENWOOD. DOUBLE DIN. DOUBLE LAYER LIMO TINT ALL THE WAY AROUND CUSTOM GRILL AND LIGHTS SOME UNDER CARRIAGE LIGHTS
I agree with the diesel power-plant and dump the air adjustable shocks. I currently own a 2007 AV LTZ great vehicle.
I do pray that GM gets ot right this time and actually build the Avalanche.
I Owned the 08 it was a great truck. It’s a crying shame that they disconnected it in the first place. It seems every single time Chevy comes out with a good product that’s just right they just stop . Its ridiculous.
I would definitely buy the Avalanche..
Let’s hope they can pull it together and do it right….

There is a question that has never been asked or answered as to why it was discontinued.
I wish someone in the media would ask.
Is it too expensive to make, were there issues? What were total sales?
Are the new platforms unable to support it?
Is it just negligence it is not being made.
I would love to see the reason or excuse it was discontinued.
Also this would do even better as an option on a short med mid size wher an expanding bed could be a real benefit.
Check out the sales numbers on wikipedia and you’ll have your answers for why they didn’t keep building a second, completely different full size truck when they already had the Silverado.
Complaining about this it just like whining about regular cab / regular bed pickups, or manual transmissions. Or for that matter sedans and before that coupes.
Sales numbers and ROI can tell the tale that some don’t like to hear.
Too bad everyone on the web that always says to build it never follows through with buy it too.
If new trucks weren’t $60,000+ probably be more sales. Used market for Avalanches is very good though.
Used market for Hummers is good too. But it is still limited demand and limited supply. Going back into production is no promise of big profits vs risk.
If there was good money to be made I would have expected this vehicle would never have left production.
That was kind of my point.
A vehicle costs millions to put into production, and the Avalanche just wasn’t selling good enough to justify a new generation being engineered, marketed and sold.
They even said as much at the time.
The sales numbers and ROI were skewed because they overproduced the avalanche and then over discounted it to move more vehicles. This is a management problem not an indication that the car doesn’t have value.
I will agree to this, and will add when you stop advertising anything it drops like a rock. As such the AV, I would and will buy one if they ever came back out with one. Having had them in the past and don’t mind paying the 50+ price tag.
NO MARKETING… NO PROMOMOTION… NEVER A SALE… had the best truck on the market and hid it behind the garage!!!! Gee, wonder why the sales numbers were down. duh!
I bought mine brand new in 2000. She’s still a classic showroom beauty and drive her everyday!!!
The original Avalanche was built in Silao, Mexico because the plant had excess capacity. There are probably many reasons why it was discontinued but one of the reasons is because all full-size SUV production has been consolidated at Arlington, Texas, which does not have any excess capacity.
This article tells why it was discontinued. The reporter was able to talk to someone involved with the decision to do it.

My avalanche was the best vehicle I have owned
Just make sure the 6.2 will be a option
I owned a 2003 Avalanche Z71 and a 2009 Avalanche LTZ both 5.3L. The 2003 was excellent; good quality inside and out. The 2009, built after the GM bankruptcy, was poor build quality. Interior was substandard, which was an LTZ compared to the 2003 Z71. 2009 dash cracked in 3 places and leather seats and door trim also failed at 18K- 20K miles. 2009 exterior vinyl trim faded and discolored; had three sets of wheels replaced for corrosion and faulty construction. Ib now own 2019 Silverado High Country w/ 6.2L, 10 spd. Fantastic vehicle & technology inside & out. The 6.2 gets very poor mileage even with 10 spd. but I personally don’t care.
You don’t care????….wake up!!! If you’d care about the planet you would NEVER say that….sad….absolutely pathetic….
Stfu snowflake tree hugger!!
SMALLER? At that point I think you are just sitting in a Honda Ridgeline. Cute little machine. Meow
Wish they would bring back the avalanche cause my husband and our sons would be first in line to get another.
We bought the 1st. one in South Jersey and we bought the last one (2013) model. We still have it and really don’t want another car/truck. Sorry to say we will have to have a new something before the year ends.
Makes total sense which means it won’t happen….
I owned a 2500 Avalanche 4×4 with the 496 engine and selling it was the biggest vehicle mistake of my life. My current 3/4 ton 4×4 Duramax Silverado doesn’t even come close in ride comfort. The 16 miles per gallon mileage, at 70 miles per hour, with the diesel is the same as I received with the 496 gas engine. I would be the first in line for a new Avalanche.
I hope all these toys are electric….if not then, be aware you are indirectly killing people!!!!
Shut the fucl up
Shut up, idiot!
on this forum are we allowed to use anti-homosexual phraseology? Not in the hateful way a hick would use while in San Francisco in the 80’s during the height of the AIDS tragedy, but rather, as we all did in grade school from 1950-anything through to the 70’s. Yes, it took me 23 years to get through and beyond the 5th grade. Meow
Building vehicles nobody buys doesn’t make sense. Or money.
I have been waiting for the Avalanche’s return. It was an awesome vehicle ( had a 2007 and 2011). Replaced priors with a Tahoe and now Denali XL. Would take the Avalanche any day over those!!
I currently have an 07 LT and I’m still loving it after all these years. Just recently changed some gaskets!! Best vehicle, I invested in!!!!
I have a 2007 LTZ also. 250000 miles and still going strong! I don’t want to get rid of it until they have another Avalanche available. I would love to see this vehicle on the market.
No this doesn’t make sense at all something has to be different you can’t have the Silverado an the suv an the avalanche all look the same Gm is already oheaded to bankruptcy this is going to make them get there faster
Exactly how??
No, it’s gotta have the open sails. That’s the only thing I need changed. Other than that give me a Trailboss Edition and I’ll trade in my ’08 Z71 in a heartbeat.
I am a current owner of the 1st gen Avalanche, 2002. The Avalanche was a very different design and had it’s time of season. But to bring it back with the similar looks as the Silverado, well, it isn’t that great or good. It should be very different, it’s own character. A 5.3L with 4L80E or 6 speed manual, 4×4. The perfect power train for this truck.
I think it looks pretty slick even with the new front end.
This isn’t the Silverado front end it’s the suburban front end
I’ve been an Avalanche fan from day one but this GM doesn’t have the balls to build anything that someone doesn’t build first even if they started it.
I had 2001 Chevrolet Avalanche and my wife and I both thinks it’s the best vehicle I ever owned. I drove it for 3 years building my retirement home here in WV from Baltimore. I carried all the lumber, rock, cabinets etc. I had a full load Everytime I drove up, usually 240 miles round trip. We loved it. I would own another if Chevy comes out with it in 2021. Only negative thing was it didn’t get good gas milage. I have a 2017 High Country and on the open road I get around 22 mpg. Please keep my e-msil and keep me updated.
Thanks,
Danny Williams, Sr
Berkeley Springs, West Virginia
I loved the Avalanche right out of the gate but was never able to get one when they were in production. This summer I was int he market for a used truck for weekend use and came across a nice 2011. Snatched it up and it is amazing. The versatility is great. Ride, second to none.
I’d like to see it in production again just so there would be a used one available in the years to come.
If they build it people will come. They will hand over money for no reason lol.
Absolutely loved my 2005 Avalanche.it served me well for 11 yrs. Replaced it with a 2013 GMC Sierra. No comparison. The Avalanche was in a class way beyond pickup trucks.
I just retired and a new Avalanche is my dream retirement car. Please please please.
I prefer the Silverado body panels.
I would like to know when it’s coming out close to the end of December 30 and I would like to see 2022-2023 chevy avalanche spy photos next week as and update and I think the package that should come with it should be gas and electric and it should have super cruise and the towing capacity should be 14,000 and it should and the screen and a middle center console arm rest and the tailgate should be like the 2022 chevy silverado and the price for the 2022-2023 chevy avalanche should be $47,000 with a 5th wheel hitch package and a roof rack I would look forward to seeing a reply back
My 2008 Avy would be in consideration for a trade/upgrade. Didn’t realize how much I would like my Avalanche until I had it but for a bit and be it being my first truck out of necessity, it checked all the boxes I need for a truck. Decent towing, nice interior, smaller bed for the normal around town stuff, and a non-truck like ride.
I had a 07′ and 13′ with 170k miles on it. Drove my 07′ to 250k, love the trucks.
Perfect Xmas present (Great job)!
Great classic lines, Independent rear (Lower loading height). A perfect replacement for a great truck. I still own a 2006 Avalanche. Most comfortable vehicle ever and totally dependable. My wife doesn’t want to replace it. This could be the ticket. Suggestions: Keep the enclosed interior (cost savings), with reclining fold up rear seats, go with 6’5″ bed and a tailgate with a fold up end section so that you can still carry 4X8 sheets of plywood or do a split tailgate like Ram for better access to the bed. GM I hope you listening, this will sell!
That there is a thing of beauty!! I love my ‘09 but I would be parting ways with her for this tenderoni!! Lol!!
I have 02 Avalanche with 275,000 miles. Love my truck, and will keep driving it till it dies. I used it for everything from towing boats and camper and much much more. Will never have another vehicle like my Avalanche.
It would be great if they brought the Avalanche back. I would like to replace my 2002 with a new one. The Avalanche is the best SUT (sport utility truck) made!
Add the open sail panels, which were there for aerodynamics, and throw in the new adaptable GMC tailgate and I’d finally have to replace my beloved 2002 Avalanche. (Are you listening Chevy?)
Nicest looking truck I ever had. But also biggest piece shit. First three months I owned it, it was in the shop. Many electric gremlins. Terrible gas mileage also, 13 mpg. Very glad to get rid of it.
Don’t bother to bring it back.
There are panels available for the Silverado to give it more of an avalanche look. Naturally, the bulkhead doesn’t open up, but it does the job for looks.
I have a 2012 avalanche it would not trade it for anything I am looking to buy another one hopefully a new one will come out in 2021 and I’ll definitely be first on the list to buy I’ll never get rid of my 2012 though I love the power I love the comfort I love the ride and it’s a thing of beauty
I have a 2002 Chevy avalanche 1500
Got 249000 miles running strong use synthetic more oil since the day I got it…. Think I could give up least 500000
I love it .I own one of the originals with a North Face Package . The mid gate is great and provides the versatility that was the bridge between pickup and SUV . I never sold it because I love it and couldn’t find anything that compared in my opinion or to fit my need . Thank you
I would buy one as soon as they they come back I have had a 02-04-10 and have a 04 mega truck avalanche that I built on 2.5 ton Rockwells and combine tires loaded leather
Do you have a url to share that shows the lifted avalanche?
I had a 2006 Chevy Avalanche Z71 in Silver Birch metallic exterior with grey leather interior, it was the best truck/suv I’ve ever had. The most comfortable seating and the best ride ever, I’d love to see a comeback with a 2021 Avalanche, I’ll be turning in my 2017 Ford F 150 in Oct./Nov. of 2020, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Come on General Motors get on it, and yes as another person wrote add the new GMC tailgate
Please GM bring back the avalanche
I had a 2002 and now a 2007 Southern Comfort edition. I love the Avalanche. I would buy another for sure. A 2500 would be perfect for my next purchase.
Love mine. I have a 2007.
I’ve had the pleasure of owning both generations. A 2003 z71 With cladding looks the best lifted, but my black 2010 LTZ was the prettiest thing on the road. This new render reminds me of my 2010 LTZ. I LOVE IT!!! I love it even though it looks like the sails have been shortened up a bit. Are you sure this render is on a Suburban platform and not a Tahoe?
Dear GM,
BRING BACK THE AVALANCHE ASAP!!!!!
Yes it’s the Suburban… Look at the rear doors and how they don’t get cut into by the rear wheel wells. Suburban all day long.
Hello Mr.David, would you be interested in selling your 2007 Southern Comfort Avalanche truck? My name is Russell & I have owned 5 of them and I wrecked my last one. Somebody hit me from behind, what color is it & can you give me a call please? At 901-605-6685. Thanks!

I have a 2004 z71 southern comfort avalanche and I just love it. My husband just bought me a 2012 ltz avalanche because it has 71,000 miles and my southern comfort has 212,000 miles. I can’t seem to stop driving my 2004. I simply Love this truck. If they come out with a 2021 avalanche Z71 like my southern comfort truck I will buy it in a minute maybe 2 one for my husband and one and one for me. Most comfortable and beautiful truck I have ever had. Silver birch metallic.
Just bought a low mileage 2013 Avalanche. Had a 2004 I put over 200,000 miles on before I sold it. Would buy a new one If it came out. GM, Chevy Division, messed up when they discontinued it. Poor engineering for the dash, other interior issues on the later models and not getting the mpg issue resolved like Ford and Chrysler did doomed it. With all its faults, they are still a coveted product
I have an 04, had to open the mid gate at home depot to move cabinets. The guy had no clue the truck came apart and that’s usually the reaction when I take it apart.
GM will build it and never advertise it.

It’d be cool to see an Escalade version. After seeing all these cool renderings you guys do, it makes me wanna see what a Chevy sports sedan might look like. I think it’d suit the Impala name best (think Chevy competitor to the charger)
I have own my 2005 avalanche for almost 14yrs, still looks great and runs great 170,00
I would love to see it to come back! I have 2002 & 2008 avalanche! Looking to get a low mileage 2013 avalanche!
Love my 2007 Avalanche… Don’t know what I’d do with out her. 203,000 miles of Chevy Tuff. Pulls my Travel trailer just nice.
2006 Avalanche owner here! I bought it used five years ago and can’t imagine owning anything else truckwise. The render looks awesome, would love to see it comeback so I could pick up another good deal on a used one! As someone else said, GM builds great stuff and never promotes it (cough Volt cough)… Except people who actually used heavy duty trucks, this is the better truck option.
I own a 2005 Chevrolet AVALANCHE and will love to have the 2021 model. The truck is a great investment that last for years.
I’ve owned a 02 and 07 . I would love to purchase another. They were both great trucks .I love the side boxes and the versatility
I have a 2005 Avalanche 2500 (8.1 ltr engine). Fifteen years old and Only 129,000 miles. Runs great still looks new and no rust. I also had a 2002 Aval 2500 that I owned before the 2005. Best trucks I’ve owned. Powerful, fast and versatile. The 8.1 liter engine is awesome. They better put the upgrade 6.2 liter in the 2021 Aval.
Own an 03 avalanche,have only had it for a year but now wish I would have had one long ago.I have owned silver ado’s since the eighties and none can compare to the ride and quiet ride of my Avalanche,if they started producing them again my next truck will be an avy not a silverado,as popular as they are I cannot believe they quit producing them in the first place.
I have a 2005 avalanche here. I love it
On my third Avalanche, best truck combo ever. Great rendering and wish GM would bring it back! Sunburst orange metallic was the best color offered 07-08.
Like the others I have had two and would love to have a third. I keep fixing up my 2007 and use it daily with 290000. My wife likes it so much that she would buy one also.
I’d imagine CAFE is the reason it’s not available anymore. Also a 2-door Tahoe with rear SLA and basic interior called “K5” would be nice.
Owned three one gray the other two black all were 4×4. Still have the 2011 and quit buying new cars when they discontinued it. Will drop a crate engine in if the time ever comes. Big loss to stop making them.
I’ll beat the drum too…. Great render. G.M Please bring the Avalanche back. Us loyal owners want to buy new ones.
Was waiting for the dealership find me a Taho and walking the lot took the new
2002 Avalanch for a ride baught it. Worked at Janesvill plant for 35 yers just had to have that truck. My third Avalanch 2013 . Could not believe they would cut such a versitel vehicle. Going to start putting away some change for the new one if it happens.
Just bought a ‘12 LT, my what a smooth ride. Only 66900 km, now 69, I love it! Loads of room, probs should’ve had one of these when the kids were still vacationing with us.
I like the idea of the Avalanche coming back. I’d hope if they brought this back it kept the new truck rear end, with the truck taillights, embossed Chevrolet tailgate, and step number, but used the quad exhaust from the SUV. Also have it retain the suspension & interior of the SUV.
I have a 2011 avalanche and completely love it, ride quality, v8 power, creature comforts, midgate adaptability is brilliant, would be great if the the general brought them back, I would be in line to get mine
Unlike the rendering. I do think this would be a compliment to the portfolio. I would like a Tahoe with a useable bed. Maybe the sales weren’t as good as the love for the truck. But for the people who want a nice interior, a nice smooth ride, and a bed that they could use this would be a good buy. I mean this might fit more in the white collar workers, doctors and lawyers. I see many people drive Sierra Denali’s and hardly use the bed.
I like the thought of one but know it has been discontinued. If GM trucks had a single brand like Ram has their trucks but I still like having two trucks instead of one.
I keep waiting for the Avalanche to return. Until then, I’ll keep sporting my 2005 Avalanche. Got 288K on the clock and still battling rush hour traffic every morning in comfort and style. If only the criminals would stop shoving screw drivers under the drivers side door handle trying to get in.
I have a list of wishes for the Avalanches return:
* 6.2 V8 option (lets go crazy and offer a supercharged version too!)
* power window in the midgate (nothing like a nice cool day with the sunroof open, windows down, and back glass removed)
* slow opening / dampened tailgate (multi function tailgate would be a good option)
* Rear seats fold flat WITHOUT having to remove the headrests or alter position of front seats
* 360 degree back up camera (wife refuses to back up in our 2005)
* LED bed lighting that runs the full length of the bed on BOTH sides.
* Built in Storage rack for hard tonneau panels (either roof rack style, in the floor of the bed Ridgeline style, or under body)
Stop talking start building my 2010 needs a break.
Not so sure about this rendering. Makes it look too much like a Honda Ridgeline. My 2005 is my second Avalanche and I’ll keep replacing whatever it needs to keep it in perfect condition. If they do bring back the Avy, and I really hope they do, make sure it retains the bed size that we have now.
I like the idea and design. I could see gm maybe pondering the idea if sales dont go up on other vehicles.
My 2004 Avalanche was the best truck I ever owned! I’ll be first in line when they bring it back.
I would love to see this come back. I love the comfort and utility it offers. I own a 2004 avalanche and I would definitely buy a this third gen model.
I love this! I actually think this design language works best on the Avalanche. Silverado is growing on me but I haven’t warmed up to the new Tahoe/Burb just yet. Something about the back I don’t care for but on the Avalanche it works.
Please do one of the Escalade EXT too. I love my 03′ white diamond pearl EXT and she’s still going strong with 237k on the clock and with her new trans. Just need better wheels than the rusty 2012 22s that lose air at the beads lol. I’d definitely get a new 21′ of those too.
I owned 3 Avalanches before going to Suburban after they discontinued. I will buy the first one they come out with
I own a 2003! Wouldn’t have anything else!!
GM made a big big mistake discontinuing making the Avalanche!
I agree with every option Singletary said. After owning three Avalanches. Still on my 2013 with 195k miles. My friend still owns my 2002 with 335k miles on it.
Bring it back. I’ll buy one.
Owned a 2008 loved it so much I bought a 2011. Only way I will get rid of it is I find a 13.
Have had 7 avalanches…an 02, 03, 05, 07(for about 2 months) an 08, a 13 and now another 08. Traded 3 at 200k miles. Traded my 13 in on a Convertible Camaro for the wife and immediately missed the ride and comfort hence the 2nd 08. If they brought it back I’d have another if they keep it’s look close to the original styling. Loved the monogrammed headrest in the 02. GM are you listening?
Have owned 3, an 02, 06, and a 2012. Best truck ever. Drove the 06 from Maryland to California and back in 2017 and it is still driving great with 136,000+ miles. Bought the 2012 4 months ago with low mileage because they are so hard to find. Would buy a new one if they came back. Keep the great suspension/ride.
The original avalanche was unique, when they made it just a variation of the boring looking Suburban they ruined it.
I own a 2002 Pewter, Off Road 4 Wheel drive addition.
I bought this from the dealership and drive it every day. It has 226,212.00, its never let me down. Original motor and transmission. I’m not sure I would buy a new one. With today’s economy I would probably pay way more and not be able to work on it. I’m not complaining, what made chevy is excellent quality and the user friendly option to fix my vehicle. Make this the same way related to that and it will sale itself. GO CHEVY……
I love my Avalanche! What a perfect truck! The new one looks great! I hope they bring it back as well! Nothing can beat they way they handle, drive, power, looks and classy interior! It’s a Chevy! Please don’t change size or transmission!
I have and absolutely love my 2011 Avalanche. My dealer is constantly trying to buy mine, but I politely told them that until a new Avalanche comes available I’ll drive mine until the wheels fall off. I’d trade mine for this rendered version in a New York second.
Yawn. Will wait for a Tesla Cybertruck!
I own a 2007 Avalanche LS 167,000 miles I was a ford guy for years until I drove this Chevy and that was it for me it’s absolutely the best truck I’ve ever owned Ford has nothing on Chevy I love my AVY comfort power durability gas mileage easy to work on can’t wait till the new AVY’s come out
I still own my 2003 Z71 because I refuse to give it up. Still rides great and am willing to do the minor repairs to keep it going at 300k+ miles. I’d buy a new one as I wasn’t able to buy the last model year.
I love the rendering except for the chrome trim on the tailgate. I loved that the first models with the controversial body cladding made it stand out against the Suburban and Silverado at the time. I think it should do the same again if it were to come back around. Needs to stand out as its own vertical.
I’m a owner of two Avalanche 2002 and 2008. Drove the 02 till 2010 and my coworker wanted it so bad that he make me an offer I could not refuse. I missed the 02 so bad I had to get the 08. I will definitely buy A new one if it is built. The 08 is still going strong with 160,000 miles.
Driving my second avalanche. Drove 2002 till I bought the 2008. Currently at about 118,000. Would like to see one with a diesel engine.
Nice Job. Looks great.
I have owned 3 Avalanches – 2007, 2011 and 2012. Love the vehicle and love the rendering. I think with the new 10 speed transmission, the 6.2 V8 I would be in heaven and would like up to buy it!! Please GM build it again
I have the original 2002 completly restored, cladding and all with added upper fender cladding from Claddy LLC. I was able to keep cladding from fading with 303 products and storing vehicle in garage. Truly unique vehicle going on 19 years old. State Farm insures it as a classic vehicle. Without the body cladding it just does not impress at all.
Still driving my 02 and loving it 256751 miles and still kicking butt
On my 2nd. 2003 and 2013 Black Diamond. 96,000 and going strong. Would love it if GM would bring back the Avalanche…..Please.
I have a 2005 Cadillac EXT. LOVE THE TRUCK. Its got 214,000 on it now, and still is strong as ever. Same truck as the Avalanche, with a rear air ride & stability system. I too, zm willing to drive it til the wheels fly off. GM has to fix the rocker rust problems on ALL of their trucks. Its pretty pathetic that I have a 65 Chevy with hardly any rust, and a 05 with rocker that are shot from 2 years in the snow.
I have 2004 love this Truck I would love to see it come back and I definitely would buy 1. The rendered version looks great has me excited to see a new one come out.
I have a 2004 and love it. I bought it used with 153000 and it still runs strong. I would definitely be interested in a new Avalanche if and when Chevrolet gets their head on straight.
I loved my 04 and I love my ‘13 , even after the lifter problem and trans rebuild . I especially love the forest green color . GM needs to bring them back .
I remember the old 496 (8.1L) V8 models offered the very real prospect of sub-10mpg economy in the city.
With the new IRS the cargo load floor should be about 5 to 6 inches lower, increasing the cargo capacity and utility. I want one, 6.2 or 3.0 Diesel. How about a GMC version too?
Had a 2002 was one of the best trucks I have ever owned. Would love to see them relaunch the Avalanche. Don’t forget the steps in the rear bumper. One of the best features.
I have a 2012 Avy and love mine. Find a tuner shop and have them turn off the flex fuel option and the V4 mode to save the lifters, assuming you dont want to use the e85 crap. I would buy a new one as well
I Love my ’04 Avalanche. She still runs strong and has pulled my trailer and bikes with no issues. Would love to see a Next Gen version on the market.
Yes sir, I have an 04 also Arrival blue. Very unique truck not like today where everyone has the same thing. I have around 200k and she looks so nice again with all my upgrades.
The Chevy Avalanche (and the Cadillac EXT version) should return as it is the most versatile and multiple purposed of all trucks. For those who don’t know what the Avalanche was, read about it : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Avalanche
This versatility is the main reason Avalanche owners love it!
Wow I like that! I was just looking at the current gen Suburbans driving in town a few days ago and thinking it would be nice to turn one of them or this next gen into an Avalanche, now here we have photos of what it’d look like! Please build it Chevy!
Missing my 08 Avalanche.
I have a 2005 Z-71 with 165k on it and absolutely love it!! I would buy a new one in a second. With a wife, 2 kids and 2 husky’s this is the perfect vehicle. The versitility of this vehicle is what make it so special. Bring it GM!!
I had an ’03 Z71 WBH (Without cladding) in the Pewter Metallic. I really wanted to replace it with a ’13 Black Diamond AVY, but my budget wasn’t yet ready for a new vehicle. When I finally did buy, I got a ’15 Sierra 1500 Denali with the excellent 6.2L. FOR ME, aside from the firm brake pedal and the big power from the 6.2, my 12 years older AVY was just as good a vehicle, if not better on pretty much every level.
I brought a 2003 Chev Avalanche Z66 in 2006 best truck I have ever brought, has over 300km still driving it after 13 years given me good service. It would be a great pleasure to bring 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche back. bring the Chev Avalanche Back home.
Please please please bring the Avalanche back. This is my favorite truck. Had a 03 for 15 yrs and got 485000+ miles with the same motor and transmission. Absolutely love the versatility of the truck and gave plenty of personal and family memories. This design is also a fresh makeover for the “Lanche”.
I have 2007 Avalanche with 310,000 miles and it runs great. I have not bought another GM vehicle because i am hoping that they will being back the Avalanche. Best vehicle i have ever had and i will buy this render if produced. GM dont drop the ball again and take an “L”! Make this vehicle happen with the 6.2 engine and diesel .
My boss loved his Avalanche. He had to settle for a Nissan Titan when it died.
The industry has been talking about flexible manufacturing for 25 years so that they can bring exciting variants of common platforms for low investment cost. It’s not like they have to spend a billion dollars to tool up for a few unique body panels. The Avalanche will need a much lower volume to break even for tooling/process. It will ride even better with the IRS.
There’s the 6.2L and the new 6.6L and GM is even teasing a new 8.0+L V8.
Love my 2002 Z66 Avalanche, original new owner, pampered inside, outside and drivetrain. Currently my everyday transportation. 340k miles and what beauty/ride. Should I sell or keep? [email protected] ideas please? It still satisfies my needs (carry all, tow, sport look, travel and family.
Dear GM authority,
I’m still driving a 2012 avalanche that I dearly love that’s over 135,000 miles on it put rear shocks on it three sets of the standard tires front rotors and calipers and that’s the only thing I’ve done to it it runs great excuse me I did put new plugs in it I have three boys and I just love the truck I wash it all the time and I’m very proud of it I’m ready to buy a new one and would really love to purchase a 2021 avalanche the boys and I like to ride bikes kayak canoe I use that truck for all kinds of things remodeling my house you name it I love it GM has got the right touch for the right combination with the avalanche comfort ability and work.
Please consider taking the rendering to full production !
Sincerely James Pittock
Presently owning a Black Diamond 2013 and it’s the best vehicle EVER ! The ride and diversity makes it a “home run”. I will hang on this as long as I can knowing I can’t replace it with a new one. Hoping to see a new generation in the near future just as pictured.
Please bring back the Avalanche! I owned a 2007 Avalanche sine new for 12 years. Had no intentions of ever selling it until my wife started giving me a hard time about not having blue tooth. So I caved and went and bought a Denali for 70k. Didn’t ride near as nice as my Avalanche and when I had to haul something 7′ or longer, it had to hang out of the back. It was that or buy an 8′ bed to drag around all day. As luck may have it I totaled the Denali in the first 5 months and was back home in my Avalanche, with the seat down I could carry 4×8 sheets of anything without anyone knowing there was anything in the back. Next phase of this story is I saw the New Ram at Auto show. Big Screen , panoramic sunroof, and amazing leather interior. I purchased the 2019 Ram which is awesome, super powerful and rides beautifully, however, if Chevy produces the Avalanche again, and this is what it looks like, I would dump the Ram in a minute . Fingers Crossed!
I had a 2002 Avalanche that I sold at 150,000 miles. I bought a new 2011 Avalanche and it’s been the best vehicle I’ve ever had. Both were trouble free with a little warranty issue on the 11’s cosmetics. No engine or transmission issues in either one. I tow a lot with trailers up to 37′. I do hope they quit messing around and come out with a new Avalanche because my 2011 has about 107K now and I plan on keeping it to 150K again and then buying a new one, which hopefully will be another Avalanche.
For those who clamor about it being the Suburban instead of the pickup there is a very good reason and that’s turning radius. The full size GM trucks suck in turning while the Suburban turns much better. I can make a U-turn on a 3 lane road without touching the shoulders. Last full size Chev truck I drove was in 2014 and it wouldn’t come close to making that turn in that short a distance.
The 6.2 lt would be very nice as well as the diesel option. I’ve been very pleased with my 5.3 as well. In town I get a tad over 15 MPG. I drive a Dodge 3500 with their famed 6.7 diesel at work and it’s a 11 MPG beast empty. Loaded it’s 8 MPG. I’ll keep the Avalanche MPG…
I have the final edition – the Black Diamond. It is the best!! Comfortable – hard working – great sounds system. I have taken it to the auto body shop down the street a couple times just to have a couple dents and scratches removed – nice to get it fixed up – like driving down the street in a new car. Currently have over 100K on it and expect to keep it till the bloody end. Would buy another in a heartbeat – even the best Silverado is a long way from being an Avalanche – esp. the interior fit. I admit that I do stop in and take them for a test drive but until they get it right; sticking with my Black Diamond……..and my 1937 redone Chevy pickup.
This is a cruel joke!!!! I just got so excited about the idea. I have a 2010 (my 2nd) and I have not had any issues. The other was a 2004. I’ve been hoping GM bring it back. I would ABSOLUTELY get another!!!
I owned an 07 6.0 Avalanche loved it, 2010 then a 2012. The 2012 now has 158K Miles and is used by my CFO. I now have a 2016 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 6.2 8 Speed. Gas Mileage on the open road is incredible. 75 MPH and I avg 23.5 MPG.
If they come back with the Avalanche I will definitely be the first on line to order one. The ride quality matched my previous Suburbans.
If GM makes it I’m buying it. They better keep the HP options they now offer on the New Silverados!
I saw the possible body and I hope the design keeps the opening at the sides back of the cab. Those openings define the Avalanche from a similar foreign vehicle.
You know this isn’t real, right?
GM has been in the business of eliminating things lately, and the chances of them suddenly deciding they need another, entirely different full size truck are roughly zero.
I hate to agree, but you’re right. As much as previous Avalanche owners loved it, GM is pinching pennies so tight these days, there’s no way they’ll ever bring back a truck that sold SO poorly in it’s final few years. (Except 2013)
Excellent rendering! I would buy one tomorrow. I have owned 5, and presently own a Black Diamond. After owning 25+ Chevys, I guess I will be forced to go to another brand of vehicle. You would think one of their engineering staff would realize that not everyone wants a mile-long truck! The Tahoe has a good wheelbase length, but carrying equipment or even landscape equipment will ruin it. Heck, even the newer short bed truck wont fit in the average driveway! How about bringing back the extended cab truck to add to the crew cab line up. I have owned from the Vega (first car) the vette, unfortunately my Black Diamond may be the last Chevy I own!
This 2021 Avalanche renders something much more exciting than just a new vehicle roll out photo. Well this is justifiably the sharpest tack in the Lux 4×4 SUV marketplace since GM shocked the market in 2002 with the first Avalanche.
Although the thought that they’re may never be a new updated version with independence Rear Suspension, wow! I would get in a long line of follower’s to get one!
In 1979 I ordered a new SUBURBAN(201,000 MI). So then in 1987 new custom double cab SIERRA (121,000 mi). Then next 2003 new AVALANCHE (179,000 mi and now I have to keep my 2008 AVALANCHE 212,000 MI to date! I am a fan of that 130″ wheel base. Am I the only one?
I’m certainly a fan of the wheel base and am hoping that they do bring it back out. I will buy one when they do. I’ve had 2 since 2003. Bought a 2002 at the beginning of the 2004 model year and kept it till 2012 when I bought a 2011. It now has 118,000 miles and runs great. Plan on getting something new when this one reaches 150K. Hope they don’t disappoint us….
Best overall vehicle I’ve ever owned. Turns on a dime and will tow whatever you can hang on it.
I Have always been impressed with the Avalanche, Thanks for letting me know I am not the only one!
PS: You are right ” they don’t disappoint!
I miss my 2002 Chevy Avalanche. I loved it!! I’ve been looking at getting a used one — but really hoping GM / Chevrolet would consider producing them again. It held all my military gear. I was ready to deploy when called. All I had to do was unlock my tailgate and pull my gear. I also had all of my physical fitness gear locked in the side compartments.
Furthermore, I was also able to fit an XL dog crate in the back seat and my daughter’s car seat. So much room!!
If GM/Chevrolet could produce another version of the Avalanche that is reasonably priced, I would buy another!! I’ve been looking at used ones, but like the new car warranty and freshness!!
The Avalanche is the best truck they’ve ever made.
The focus should be on bringing back the classic look of the Avalanche with a sportier approach. We need an Avalanche ZR2. It needs to be a beast and make all other off road trucks jealous.
Keep the folding black wall. But make it lighter and faster and give it a hell of a lot more torque.
I still drive my 05 avalanche she’s got a little rust but she’s the best and I don’t want to drive something else anymore.only a new avalanche can take her place, please GM bring the good news and start to make them again.pleeaaase
I’ve owned other trucks dodge ford other chevys I love my avalanche I currently have I would I’ve been thinking about buying a second one and building it more or less it would save alot of work and be amazamazing if they made a new one because I don’t want a different vehicle and I know alot are in the same boat
I love my 2011 Diamond White LTZ Avalanche! If Chevrolet came out with a new one, I’d absolutely buy one! Of course I’d never get rid of my 2011 as it’s in pristine condition. The new one would just be a new addition to my vehicle family. PLEASE Chevrolet…. all of us Avalanche owners beg of you to bring it back!!! A pickup with the Avalanche like package is just not the same!
Glad to see Chevy saw the error of their ways and bringing the Avalanche back. The best truck for me and my needs. The 4WD can do anything. Love mine even though it is an older model, which has been the best older model vehicle I’ve had. Hasn’t cost me much compared to vehicles its age I have had. Keep rocking it right Chevy
Actually, the picture is just a rendering. A dream basically. As much as I wish they would, no, they’re not bringing the Avy back.
Check out the porotype HUMMER the GM websites. There remnants of the once perfect 130 wheel base big luxurious SUV/truck. This new HUMMER LINE as an electrically powered vehicle brings a greater price point to bear, both in marketing as a EV and the GM reputation of Avalanche as well as HUMMER H type! THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL!
PLEASE BRING THIS ON!!! I love my 2002, but ITs time for a new AVY…BEST IN THE WEST…well east, north & south!! I’m in line already bring it on please please please!!!’
I was in the market for a vehicle recently and looked for a ’13 Black Diamond AVY. The super clean, good condition, low miles units are starting to get pretty rare.
GM you’re really disappointing getting my hopes up high. I was really looking forward to getting one of those. I love The Avalanches and I’m still looking to buy one. I can’t find one at a decent price. Everybody is blowing them out the water because they’re limited, because the last year you made it was in 2013.
I’ve had two Avalanches…. I adore them!!!! I would love a third! I had a 2003 and a 2011 , I wish I could afford another one… Having three, would make me your Avalanche Child!!!!!!!!
I still love my 2013 , even with the problems with the valves and blown transmission and wheel bearings . I’ll be keeping it until the wheels fall off. Maybe I’ll replace the motor with a Hennessy.
Would like to see the return of it. Out of all the trucks I have owned the AV was the best for my use. Several years back there was a “new” not in production Escalade driving around Tampa / Orlando with MFR tags. Gave many some hope, but never came about.
i would be one of the first in line to buy one
Still loving our 2005 Avalanche!!! Was sad when we wanted to upgrade in 2014 to hear Chevy cut the cord on it. So, we will be looking into a come back!!!
Most versatile and best driving Chevy truck I have every owned. 200k and still holding out for the next Gen Avalanche to hit the market. The day it does, my order goes in…
My 09’LTZ MINT CONDITION 228,000 MILES
GM BUILDS ,THEY HAVE MY ORDER PAID IN FULL
I bought my Avalanche brand new in 2004 and drove it until 2013….. put 289,000 miles on it without a single problem ever …… loved it and cried when I had to trade it in on a new Malibu because my family thought I needed a more economical vehicle !!! I still miss it terribly , and would buy another new Avalanche in a heartbeat !! Every year I hope for Chevrolet to bring it back !! Please bring it back !!!!
very happy about my 2 previous avalanche 2002 and 2006 would love if 2021 would be the reborn year of the new AVALANCHE
PLEASE WE NEED THE NEW CHEVY AVALANCHE FOR 2021 BACK. TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A GOOD TRUCK.
THANKS
I LOVE AVALANCHE TOO PLEASE BRING IT BACK. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE MYSELF DRIVING A BRAND NEW CHEVY AVALANCHE FOR 2021 THAT WILL BE NICE HEY.
PLEASE BRING BACK THE CHEVY AVALANCHE WHAT ARE YOU STIL WAITING FOR
I currently own a 2012 Avalanche & drive dealer trades for my local Chevy dealer. Of all the new trucks I drive, there is not one that rides as smooth and comfortable as my Avalanche. Even my husband’s 2017 Silverado is not as comfortable. Please bring back the Avalanche & I will be first in line to buy another!
BRING BACK THE AVALANCHE!
I have a 2004 chevy avalanche with 140,000 miles & still going strong – I WOULD buy a new avalanche especially if price started out same as any other truck on market $28,000 -$35,000, of course base price without any fancy add ons
I’m a. 2005 Avalanche owner wouldn’t trade it for nothing the best vehicle I have ever had..it took me a while to find this vehicle because No one wanted to part with their Avalanche..so if y’all know any one who wants to part with their Avalanche let me know and I will be looking at the new one also..❤❤❤❤
Still have my 2007 Avalanche LT and j bout a 2020 Silverado 1500 High Country. I’d trade it in immediately if a new version of the Avalanche was available. Cmon GM…we’ve been waiting long enough!!
That’s a fine idea but let’s be honest……would anybody want one of these rather than a mint condition 2013 with low miles on it? The rendering is too Cadillac-looking for my tastes.
I own a 2007 with 130,000 on it just a couple of minor issues, best riding truck chevy ever made and the most versatile and its also a head turner mine will be an antique in a few years and ill still be driving it. Bring it back GM
Avalanche is best truck GM made , i owned 2 Avalanches and wish GM would bring it back .
I drive a 1500 Silverado and it doesn’t compare to my old Avalanches.
If GM brought back the Avalanche , I would trade in the Silverado in a heart beat . Hear that GM .
I would love to own this make sure the 6.2 and oil burner! I’m in

I had an ’03 Avy Z71 I still miss a lot. The 2 newer trucks I’ve had since then just weren’t as nice. Better equipped? Yes, but not as nice. I think the main problem is in the fact that WE are in the minority. Those of us who liked them, LOVED them. Unfortunately, the majority of other folks “Didn’t get it.” Is it a truck? Is it a SUV? Well, actually it’s both, & neither. I have the most common year (1993) and the first year without the cladding. They sold over 93,000 that year, but the last year, despite the “Black Diamond Special Edition” was the second worst sales year they ever had. I wish I knew the answer, trucks & SUV’s are selling SO well right now that perhaps now is the time to bring it back. Like all of you, I’d certainly get one (especially if I could get modern tech & the 3.0 D-Max) but sadly, I just don’t think it’ll ever happen.
I have a 2007 Avalanche and love the truck. It’s versatility as a pickup/SUV made it unique in its day. Mine still has the original engine and tyranny. It’s still kicking strong with 359,000 original miles. The tyranny had to be rebuilt at 330,000! I attribute the longevity to mostly highway miles. If Chevy did decide to build a new Avalanche I would most definitely buy one. Chevy should have made a “SS” model! Put in that 6.2 and let it rip
They need to produce this Avalanche, I would buy one in a second. I have the 2002 model…. insanely durable, flexible reliable vehicle. 200K and running strong. The problem was the way the first Avalanche was marketed. I could do a commercial and sell 100k easy. Come on GM. Make it again!!
Love my 2004 Avalanche. Especially being able to carry my 8 foot frogboat with the back seats folded down. Wish truck manufacturers could do that with their trucks as it’s so convenient.
I think they should bring the new chevy avalanche should be gas and electric and the new chevy avalanche should come back in 2022-2023 with super cruise and console shifter and roof rack and many more
I own a ’04 Avalanche with 190k miles on it….I’m the original owner. Just had the rear end transmission and engine rebuilt. the only real problem is my ABS module has gone out about 10 years ago and GM no longer manufacture that part for my truck and I have to look at those lights on my dashboard. Uuuugggghhh But overall I luv my Avalanche, especially because it’s paid for, tag is cheap and insurance is cheaper!!! I would have a NEW Avalanche along with the one that I already have!!
