2012 Ford F-150 vs 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche Washington Cars

2012 Chevrolet Avalanche vs Ford F-150
At Art Gamblin Motors we recognize that the Chevy Avalanche is a segment defining vehicle that is unsurpassed in its utility, versatility and performance in its segment. The Ford F-150 just can’t compete with the Avalanche on any level. The Avalanche has greater power, performance, handling, safety and functionality. Below is a short sampling of some of the ways in which the Chevrolet Avalanche outperforms the Ford F-150: 
Safety: For increased safety, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Avalanche are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Ford F-150 has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. The Avalanche’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts accordingly to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The F-150 doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.
Warranty: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Avalanche 40,000 miles longer than Ford covers the F‑150. The Avalanche’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the F‑150’s.2012 Chevrolet Avalanche  Engine: The Avalanche’s Vortec 5.3L V8 Sequential Fuel Injection engine produces 18 more horsepower than the Ford F‑150’s standard 3.7 DOHC V6. The Avalanche’s Vortec engine is also equipped with FlexFuel which allows it to run on emissions reducing E85 fuel. Active Fuel Management is also standard. Both the sequential fuel injection system and the Active fuel management system allow the Avalanche excellent fuel economy and efficiency. Moreover, the Avalanche has 5.5 more gallons of fuel capacity than the standard F-150. This allows the Avalanche a greater maximum driving range than the F-150. The F-150 offers nothing comparable to these features.


2012 Chevrolet Avalanche Suspension and Handling: The front and rear suspension of the Avalanche use coil springs for a smoother ride, more responsive handling and precise control than the F‑150, which uses inferior leaf springs in the rear. The Avalanche also has an available driver controlled suspension system. The F‑150’s suspension doesn’t even offer adjustable shock absorbers. For better handling the track on the Avalanche is wider than the F‑150’s. The Avalanche’s engine vibration is almost nonexistent in the cab because it has liquid-filled engine mounts. The F‑150 still uses inferior conventional solid rubber engine mounts. The Avalanche offers car-like ride and handling, while the F-150 has unresponsive control and a rough ride.  At Art Gamblin Motors, your Puget Sound Car Dealer, we know that the Chevy Avalanche simply dominates over the Ford F-150.

2012 Ram 1500 vs 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche


At Art Gamblin Motors we recognize that the Chevy Avalanche is a segment defining vehicle that is unsurpassed in its utility, versatility and performance in its segment. The Ram 1500 just can’t compete with the Avalanche on any level. The Avalanche has greater power, performance, handling, safety and functionality. Below is a short sampling of some of the ways in which the Chevrolet Avalanche outperforms the Ram 1500:
Safety: For increased safety, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Avalanche are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Ram 1500 has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. The Avalanche’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts accordingly to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The 1500 doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.
The Avalanche also has standard daytime running lamps that increase its visibility to other drivers. The Ram 1500 doesn’t have daytime running lights. The Avalanche also has OnStar available, which uses GPS and cellular systems to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, track down your vehicle if it’s stolen and even send emergency personnel to the scene if there is a collision. The Ram 1500 doesn’t offer anything comparable to OnStar. And these are just a few of the ways in which the Avalanche is superior to the Ram in safety.
Warranty: There are over 40 percent more Chevrolet dealers than there are Ram dealers—making it much easier to get service under the Avalanche’s Chevrolet warranty.2012 Chevrolet Avalanche  
Power and Performance: The Avalanche’s Vortec 5.3L V8 engine produces 105 more horsepower Ram 1500’s standard 3.7L V6! This allows the Avalanche to dominate over the Ram with a minimum tow capacity that is 1,550 pounds higher than the Ram’s! The Avalanche’s Vortec engine is also equipped with FlexFuel which allows it to run on emissions reducing E85 fuel. Active Fuel Management is also standard. Both the sequential fuel injection system and the Active fuel management system allow the Avalanche to achieve excellent fuel economy and efficiency.

This allows the Avalanche a greater maximum driving range than the 1500.The Avalanche has an automatic transmission that offers manual control with tap-up tap-down shifting. This means that drivers get the convenience of an automatic transmission, while also have the control of a manual transmission without worrying about a clutch—giving you the best of both worlds! The Ram fails to offer a transmission that allows driver control of the gears. Ultimately, the Avalanche simply offers more power, performance, efficiency and utility standard than the Ram 1500.
