2010 Chevrolet Avalanche
|
In this segment, the vehicles combine the attributes of trucks and SUVs. For 2010, the Chevrolet Avalanche combined low fuel costs and low maintenance to become king of the hill and winner of Vincentric’s Best Value in America. Last year’s winner, the Ford Explorer Sport-Trac, showed that it still provides excellent value by claiming the runner-up spot in 2010.
