2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic 1500 Review
The Silverado 1500 Classic shares its design with the GMC Sierra 1500 Classic and both carry over unchanged for 2007. They're based on a design introduced for 1999. The next-generation of both trucks debuted in late 2006, and is sold alongside the Classics, also as 2007 models.
This report covers the half-ton 1500-series Silverado Classic. It comes in regular, extended, and Crew Cab models. Extendeds have rear-hinged back doors that don't open independently of the fronts. Extendeds and Crews include a three-person rear bench seat and offer front buckets or a bench. Crews have a 5.8-ft Fleetside cargo bed. The others offer Fleetside beds of 6.6 and 8.0 ft, or a 6.6-ft Sportside flare-fender bed. Extendeds are also available as the high-performance SS model with a 6.5-ft Fleetside bed and special tires and trim. Available engines, depending on cab/bed configuration, are a 195-hp V6 and V8s of 285, 295, and 310 hp. SS uses a 345-hp V8. Also available is the 1500HD Crew Cab with a 300-hp V8.
Regular cabs are available with manual or automatic transmission, but automatic is standard on most Silverados. All models come with rear-wheel drive. All but SS are available with 4-wheel drive. There are two 4WD systems: a basic setup that should not be left engaged on dry pavement, and GM's Autotrac that can. Both include low-range gearing. ABS is standard; 2WD models are available with traction control.
Silverado is also available as a Hybrid model. It's a 6.5-ft-bed extended cab with a V8 and 2WD or 4WD. It uses an electric motor to provide 120-volt power for electrical accessories. The electric motor does not propel the vehicle. On-board systems charge its batteries; no plug-in charging is necessary.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Pickup Trucks are traditionally the vehicles of choice for heavy-duty hauling and towing. They offer an array of cab styles and bed lengths and usually feature powerful V8 or diesel engines. For personal use, consider light-duty half-ton models. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider three-quarter- or one-ton models.
We have no Best Buys in this class. Our Recommended picks are the Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic, Ford F-150, and GMC Sierra 1500 Classic.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tundra.

News
Chevrolet or GMC, the Classics are the last of the full-size pickups based on the GMT800 platform. They're offered simply as stopgaps while GM ramps up production of the replacement GMT900 models. Once that's accomplished, the old soldiers fade away.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Silverado or Sierra, the V6 struggles except in light-duty work. We recommend a V8. Smooth, alert automatic transmission's useful Tow/Haul mode adjusts shift points for best performance with heavy loads. Silverado SS and similarly powered Sierra Denali deliver quick standing starts, swift passing.
Hybrid powertrain does not affect acceleration. Its engine-restart feature suffers a short delay when driving away from a stop.

Fuel Economy
Par for the class. Test 2WD regular cab with 4.8-liter V8 averaged 16.8 mpg in mostly highway driving. Test 4WD extended with 5.3 V8 averaged 13.7-16.2 mpg. Test Silverado SS averaged 14 mpg. Sierra Denalis averaged 13.3-14.5 mpg in city/highway mix. All models had automatic transmission.
Chevy says Hybrid's engine-shutoff feature improves fuel economy by 10 percent vs. conventional V8 counterpart. Test Hybrids averaged 16.0-16.7 mpg. Chevrolet recommends premium-grade fuel for 345-hp V8-equipped models. All other Silverados use regular-grade fuel.

Ride Quality
Generally more compliant than equivalent Ford F-150s, but still stiff and bouncy except on glass-smooth surfaces. As with any pickup, the tail stutters some over bumps with an empty bed.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Good overall balance for big trucks--a match for any rival. Steering accurate, though less precise than Ford's. Traction control and Autotrac 4WD are both important aids on even moderately slick surfaces.

Controls
Gauge layout top-notch. Ditto switch placement and feel, though windshield wipers deserve their own control instead of being crowded onto turn signal lever. Engine-hour meter supplements odometer. Decor ranges from utilitarian vinyl to soft leather, but all interiors use plastic trim panels with a budget-grade look and feel.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Ample big-American space. Even regular cabs have good rearward seat travel, seatback recline, and adequate clearance to rear window. Supportive seats have integrated safety belts most testers find comfortably positioned, easy to reach.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Good leg clearance, comfortably angled seatback make GM's extended cabs among the most accommodating large pickups. The Crew Cab's rear compartment is even more spacious.

Value within Class
Despite their relative age among large pickup truks, Silverado Classic and its GMC Sierra Classic cousin offer models to fit most every need. Top-flight powertrains, hospitable interiors, and the advantage of 4WD that can be used on dry pavement earn them our Recommended nod. With redesigned versions available now, look for dealers to discount their already competitive prices.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.
