Chevrolet Avalanche 1500

West Herr Chevrolet Orchard Park and West Herr Chevrolet Hamburg, two leading Chevrolet dealers serving Buffalo, are happy to provide their customers with the 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500.  This truck is an impressive vehicle for any car buyer because it provides amazing features and a powerful engine that is unmatched!  Let’s check out some of the great features on the 2012 Chevy Avalanche 1500.

Engine and Fuel Economy

The 2012 Avalanche 1500, a leading dealer for Buffalo Chevrolet shoppers, offers up to 8,100 lbs. of towing capacity to haul big items such as boats, snowmobiles or motorcycles. Thanks to its coil-spring suspension, it doesn’t sacrifice ride quality.

The Avalanche packs the right combination of horsepower and torque to handle bigger payloads. The standard 5.3L Vortec V8 delivers 320 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque, giving you the power to take what’s inside or behind where it needs to go.

Smart technology on this truck activates all engine cylinders when more power is needed and deactivates four of the eight cylinders with seamless precision to conserve fuel. This helps the 2012 Avalanche offer an impressive EPA-estimated 21 MPG highway and a driving range of up to 650 miles when running on gas.

Technology and Entertainment

For 2012, the Avalanche, available for Buffalo Chevrolet shoppers, offers a new available touch-screen navigation and entertainment system. A 30 GB hard drive lets you store your favorite music. Features include DVD playback, voice recognition, and SiriusXM integration with a 90-day trial of SiriusXM NavTraffic and a choice of 2D or 3D full-color map displays, rearview camera, plus a pause-and-play feature that gives you the ability to pause a live radio broadcast.

Safety

There are three stages of safety, and the 2012 Avalanche takes every one of them as seriously as you do. While West Herr can’t promise you’ll never have a collision, they can promise they’ve done everything we can to help prevent one and help protect you before, during and after.

StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System helps you keep on the road and in control. The control module compares your steering input with the vehicle’s actual response and then, if necessary, makes small, individual applications to help keep you on track. For 2012, StabiliTrak also includes Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control for even more assurance.

Rollover Mitigation on the 2012 Chevy Avalanche 1500, available for Buffalo Chevy shoppers, helps determine potential for vehicle rollover, such as during evasive maneuvers, and applies brake pressure to the outside front tires to manage lateral tire grip, reducing the tendency for vehicle rollover. A Tire Pressure Monitor, also standard, keeps a constant watch on the inflation level of the four Avalanche road tires.

Six air bags are standard on the 2012 Avalanche, including head-curtain side-impact air bags and front seat-mounted side impact air bags. These are in addition to the standard dual-stage frontal, driver and right-front passenger air bags with the Passenger Sensing System. You’re also surrounded by a high-strength steel safety cage and strategically placed crush zones to help absorb and channel crash energy in case of a collision.

OnStar® with Built-in Automatic Crash Response is standard for the first six months. In a collision, vehicle sensors can alert an OnStar® Advisor who is immediately connected into your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location, even if you can’t respond. It’s continuous protection, no matter when you need it.
