2007 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab
The newest generation of the industry’s most dependable pickup truck is the strongest Silverado yet, delivering segment-best power and fuel economy. The new Silverado is built on an all-new platform that supports a smoother ride and responsive, confident handling while delivering segment-leading capability and power. a lineup of six powerful Gen IV small-block V8 engines complements the stronger chassis to deliver the light-duty segment’s highest rated towing capacity (10,500lbs.), horsepower (367) and fuel economy (20mpg/highway), with a maximum payload of 2,160lbs.
These factors plus a roomier, more comfortable cabin, led Motor Trend Magazine to name the new Silverado ‘Pickup Truck of the Year’. J.D. Power & Associates had the 2006 Silverado at the top of the Large Pickup category, and the heavy-duty models tied for 2 nd place with GMC Sierra.

The all-new Silverado’s exterior design delivers on it reputation as the industry’s strongest, most dependable and longest-lasting pickup truck. It has a broad, chiseled face, which accents a broad-shouldered stance and gives Silverado a powerful, muscular presence. The front-end appearance is unique to Silverado, including the front fenders, grille, headlamps, bumpers, power dome hood, tail lamps, box design and flared fenders. A larger grille, wider and taller than before, and a prominent gold bow tie are flanked by premium-look, reflector-optics headlamps. The power dome hood rises from the front end, alluding to the workhorse power plant beneath it, and the fast 57-degree sloped windshield conveys improved fuel economy due to enhanced aerodynamics. The large vertically stacked headlamps are pushed to the outer edges of the body and have a detailed, jeweled appearance that reinforces the trucks’ refinement. A chrome bumper is standard on LT trim level models, while LTZ trim level models receive body-color bumpers. Silverado models are offered with a range of 17-18 and 20in. wheels.The new Silverado features two completely distinct interiors to meet the diverse needs of today’s pickup consumer. The WT and LT trim levels feature the pure pickup interior and the LTZ trim level features the same luxury-inspired interior that is currently available on Chevrolet’s LTZ-trim full-size sport utilities. Silverado models are more spacious inside, with increased storage capacity. The new interior is enhanced with new ‘low and forward’ instrument panel. The instrument panel offered as part of the LTZ trim level is 5in. lower and farther forward than before. The WT and LT trim level features and instrument panel that is 3.5in. lower and farther forward.The pure pickup interior offered on WT and LT trim levels features larger controls and door handles that are easier to use with gloves. A large-capacity, double glove box is integrated into the instrument pane. Cloth seats are standard on WT and LT models; leather seating is available on LT models along with a six-way, power-adjustable driver seat. A new, lockable in-seat storage bin is built into a new 40/20/40-split bench; it is large enough to store a laptop computer and features a 12-volt power outlet. WT models are offered in dark titanium interior color; LT models are offered in ebony or ebony/light titanium and ebony/light cashmere combinations.
Entry to the rear seat/storage area of extended cab models is eased with new rear access doors that open 170-degrees. Power-operated rear side windows lower completely. A power sliding rear window is optional on extended and crew cab models.
It supports wider front and rear tracks-3in. up front and 1in. in the rear-that enhances stability and driving confidence through a more secure and precise road feel. Response ride and handling traits deliver a heightened feeling of control while supporting class-leading capability, including segment-best towing capacity of 10,500lbs. and a maximum payload of 2,160lbs.
GM’s sophisticated Stabili-Trak electronic stability control system is standard on Crew Cab models and optional on extended cab models, and is a segment exclusive. Working with the new brake system and new ABS system, the system provides more precise controlled ABS stops, as well as enhanced traction/yaw stability. I was surprised to find that my $43,000.00 test Silverado came with drum brakes in the rear. I would think that a pickup trucks costing this much money would come standard with 4-wheel disc brakes. They did a very good job nonetheless.
These engines are backed up with the proven GM Hydra-Matic electronically controlled automatic transmission. The maximum trailering package combines the 6.0 liter V8, 4L70 heavy-duty 4-speed automatic, heavy-duty 9.5in. rear axle, locking differential, 4:10 axle ratio, heavy-duty cooling system and other enhanced features to enable the segment-best towing capacity of 10,500lbs.
Standard features in my LTZ 4X4 Crew Cab model include front tow hooks, cargo box illumination, front fog lamps, auto dual-zone climate control, rear window defogger, 60/40 split rear bench seat, AM-FM stereo with 6-CD changer, intermittent wipers, 6-gauge cluster, dual 12-volt power outlets, tilt steering wheel, cruise-control, dual map lamps with theater dimming, power-remote/heated side mirrors, electro-chromic rearview mirror and thick-pile carpeting. This latest generation Chevy Silverado will keep the brand on the top of every full-size pickup truck consumer. It has it all to keep any pickup truck enthusiast happy.

I like that 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, very luxurious. And it looks really tough and powerful. If I’d be able to have one, I might get all the information and parts I need to preserve its performance for the longest time possible. I would make it the toughest with even the simplest parts it could have
