Nice!! Looks like 4x8 sheets of building material will slide right through that gate and stowed with the tailgate shut (hopefully).

Chevy says that with the mid-gate down, we can fit objects as long as 10 feet, 10 inches. Insane.

Works just like my Avalanche does. One difference I noticed was the release on the bottom instead of in the middle below the glass. This is most likely due to now having the 60/40 spit. I‘ve hauled 12ft sheets of drywall with the tailgate down with no problem.

There's going to be no shortage of space depending on how you configure the bed and midgate.

How long have you had your Avalanche for @clayman27180?

I’ve had my current one for about 10 years. I had a first gen 2002 before that.

Wow that’s a nice looking avalanche, looks just like my Escalade ext with the third brake light and color matched sail panels. What do you put on your covers to keep them so black and shiny?

Thanks. I use Carworx Refinish Restorer. It works well on all plastics and lasts for months.

Glad to see you've had it for so long! A few people I know got rid of them after going through transmission issues.

In every photo/video I've seen so far they've shown only being able to do the 60 down with the 40 up. Any indication if you can do it the other way (40 down, 60 up)?

 

[clayman27180]

I see no reason why you wouldn’t be able to.

Looks like I can throw some memory foam in there and sleep in the bed when I go camping. Can leave the midgate open so that I don't feel like I am in a coffin for when I get a bed cover

 

[clayman27180]

They actually made a tent for the Avalanches to do this very thing.

"Camped" that way in my Avalanche many times, midgate down, window in place, and bed cover on. I did also have the tent, but this was much quicker for an overnight stop. Might be a good way to get a nap while charging haha.

If I am too comfortable I won't make it to work 😂. In my ioniq 5 I just put the seat back when charging and take a nap since I have to get up early for work

Not sure but the animations on their web page make it look like 60 can come down by itself, but the glass might interfere with the 40 down by itself…then the animation shows both down with glass in place, or folding the glass down and then putting both down with the entire pass through totally open

Bummer that this feature is not present on the WT trim level which is the level that could use it the most. Can you imagine how useful this would be for the blue collar working guys?

 

[HawaiiEV]

It might be an option.

 

[Flapjacks]

It might be an option.

So far, Chevy has said it will not be available on the WT, which seems like a huge missed opportunity.
