| 2007 Chevrolet Silverado
A New Generation of the Industry's Most Dependable Pickup Truck
Chevrolet introduced the all-new 2007 Chevrolet Silverado - the newest generation of the industry's most dependable pickup truck is the strongest Silverado yet, delivering segment-best power and fuel economy. Segment-leading power, pulling and fuel economy highlight Silverado's diverse range of capabilities.
2007 Silverado lineup 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 V-8 engines complements the stronger chassis to deliver the light-duty segment's highest-rated towing capacity (10,500 pounds / 4,763 kg), horsepower (367 hp / 274 kW) and fuel economy, with a maximum payload capacity of 2,160 pounds (980 kg).
"Silverado has always been the most dependable, longest lasting pickup truck, and the 2007 lineup extends that legacy with industry-leading advancements in capability, quality, safety and fuel economy," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. "Silverado owners form a partnership with their trucks; they are the everyday heroes who value the durability and dependability of a Silverado to get the job done. Our guiding philosophy during the development of the new truck was delivering the confidence that comes with driving the strongest, most dependable and longest lasting trucks on the road."
Chevrolet Silverado's quality reputation is supported by independent customer verification, including the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Initial Quality Survey. Last year, Chevrolet Silverado light-duty models topped the Large Pickup category, and the heavy-duty models tied for second place with GMC Sierra.
"New features such as standard StabiliTrak are the latest in a history of industry-leading innovations," said Peper. "The new Silverado represents the continuing evolution of Chevy's strong pickup truck building heritage - a heritage recognized by generations of Chevy truck owners, many of whom have shared their stories with us and joined Silverado's 200,000 mile club, an online community of Silverado owners."
2007 Chevrolet Silverado light-duty models are available in the fourth quarter of 2006. Heavy-duty models are available in the first quarter of 2007. There are three cab styles - regular, extended and crew cab - and three cargo box lengths: 5 foot 8 inches (short), 6 foot 6 inches (standard) and 8 foot (long). The pickup is available in three trim levels: WT, LT and LTZ, and is available in 2WD and 4WD. LS badging is available through an exterior styling option package on this year's model.
Pure pickup design
The all-new Chevy Silverado's exterior design delivers on its 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 the 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 rear fenders.
A large grille, wider and taller than previous models, 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.
