“I wanna see him stop it at the light going downhill.”
A man couldn’t believe his eyes when he spotted a Chevy Avalanche towing a massive load on his commute.
While the Chevy Avalanche is no longer in production, it’s always a pleasure to see one on the road. This model was a unique mixture of elements of both an SUV and a pickup truck. So when a content creator saw a Chevy Avalanche pulling a large haul, he had to stop to film it.
In a video that’s generated over 6.9 million views as of this writing, Kyle Myers (@kyle.myers.92372) reveals that he had to pull over just to witness this impressive towing job done by a Chevy Avalanche.
Myers was in disbelief to see how much this Chevy Avalanche was towing at the RaceTrac.
“I had to pull over and wait for this one boys,” he begins.
Myers films the Chevy Avalanche towing a dumpster trailer. Perhaps surprisingly, the truck is doing just fine.
“Would you just look at that? That is a Chevy Avalanche,” Myers says in apparent disbelief.

He then notices something sticking out of the back window. The dumpster trailer had many tree parts and branches hanging out the back.
The Chevy Avalanche continues to drive away with the back part of the cab riding really low. Even with all that weight, the Chevy Avalanche prevailed.
Viewers were also shocked by this load on the Chevy Avalanche.
“There’s more money in the trailer than there is in the truck,” one wrote.
“That’s a [expletive] gooseneck on an Avalanche,” another shared.
“Gawddd I thought I was bad with my 1500s,” a third commented.
“For the people in the back row! Chevy made 2500 avalanches with a 8.1 big block,” a commenter offered helpfully.
Other viewers rushed to the comment section to crack jokes.
“I wanna see him stop it at the light going downhill,” one said.
“Hell yeah the guys she says not to worry about right there,” another commented.
“It identifies as a 3500,” a third joked.
The Chevy Avalanche legacy consisted of being part pickup truck and part SUV. This model had two generations, starting in 2002, with the last models being released in 2013.
Some dealerships have argued that the Avalanche is the best used truck you can buy from Chevy. One of the reasons for this is the towing capacity compatibility, Depaula Chevrolet reports.
According to Lets Tow That, Chevy Avalanche models during 2002-2013 had a towing capacity between 4,900-12,000 pounds.
This towing range is determined by the engine and whether a cooling system package was installed or not.
The newer models from 2009 to 2013 had lower towing capabilities, ranging from 4,900 to 8,100 pounds. Models from the 2500 series produced between 2002 and 2006 could tow between 9,900 and 12,000 pounds.
“The average bass boat you see people towing around weighs about 1,200 pounds, so that means the Avalanche could theoretically tow about 6x that weight,” per Depaula Chevrolet.
Although this model is no longer in production, rumors have circulated about the Avalanche making a comeback.
However, these rumors appear to be AI-generated nonsense, according to GM Authority. For now, GM has not officially made an announcement of the model being relaunched.
Until then, we’ll just have to enjoy the existing Avalanches on the road and admire what once was.
