What year was the first Chevrolet Avalanche C1500 made?

I have a 2001 Chevy Avalanche C1500, and I was just wondering if that’s the first year that make and model were offered.

The first
Chevrolet Avalanche C1500
was manufactured in 2001, so, yes, yours is the first model year.
Chevrolet
began manufacturing the Avalanche as a crossover option distinct from the
Suburban
and the
GMC Yukon
.
Dubbed the “Ultimate Utility Truck,” the Avalanche C1500 could switch from a pickup to an SUV and back, all thanks to a unique midgate that could be lowered after folding down the rear seats to create a full truck bed. In addition, your 2WD model can tow up to 8,300 pounds when properly equipped.
