One minute. That's all it takes to convert the Chevrolet Avalanche from a well appointed 6 seater SUV to a supremely capable 3 seater full sized pickup with 8'1" cargo bed, thanks to the GM Midgate.

The unique GM Midgate forming the rear of the cabin, in less than one minute is folded down, storing the rear window, and extending the pickup bed by 2'1".

Thanks to the unique GM Midgate, Chevy Avalanche provides the best of both worlds.
