Consumer Reports released its vehicle top picks for 2011. According to the aforesaid list, the Chevrolet Avalanche is the most recommended choice among all 2011 sport utility trucks.
Top picks are the best vehicles in their categories and must meet CR’s road test, reliability and safety requirements. The Avalanche was one of two domestic vehicles that was able to squeeze recognition of the Consumer Reports judges. This year’s rating is mostly a foreign affair: out of 10 cars recommended, six Japanese brands are top picks.
The Chevrolets Avalanche and Silverado 1500 have swop places with each other as Consumer Reports’ top pick honorees since 2008. The Avalanche won worship in 2009 and the Silverado was selected last year.
Unfortunately, the multi-purpose truck doesn’t have much longer to live as GM plans to kill the vehicle, along with the Cadillac Escalade EXT, when the next-gen full-sizers make their way to the market starting late 2012. So the Avalanche’s recently gained title of the best buy in its class can be regarded as the way to sugar the pill.
