2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic HD Review
Silverado Classic HD is the heavy-duty version of the Silverado Classic 1500. The name Classic denotes a basic design that dates from 1999 and is making its final appearance for 2007. GMC, Chevrolet's sister division, sells near-identical Sierra Classics. All these trucks are sold alongside redesigned versions also designated as '07 models.
Essentially unchanged from 2006, Silverado Classic HDs come in 3/4-ton 2500 and 1-ton 3500 series. Trim levels are WT (Work Truck), LT, and top-line LS. Three cab types are available: 2-dr regular cab, a 4-dr extended cab with rear access doors, and a crew cab with four full-size front-hinged doors. All can be ordered with front bucket seats or a 40/20/40 split bench. Extendeds and crews include a three-person rear bench. Regulars come with an 8-foot "long" cargo box. Extendeds and crews also offer a 6.5-foot "short" bed. Dual rear wheels are available, as are chassis-cab and chassis-cutaway models.
All Classic HD pickups are available with rear-wheel drive or 4WD that includes low range gearing but cannot be used on dry pavement. An electronic-shift transfer case is standard on 4WD LTs, optional on LSs. All models have standard dual dashboard airbags and antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. Side-curtain airbags are not offered. The base engine is a 6.0-liter gasoline V8 with 300 hp. A 330-hp 8.1-liter gas V8 is optional. Also available is a 6.6-liter "Duramax" turbodiesel V8 that returns from a 2006 update with 360 hp, up 60. The base V8 teams with 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic with Tow/Haul mode. The two larger engines offer a 6-speed manual or an optional Allison 5-speed automatic with Engine Grade Braking, an electronic feature that makes an automatic downshift when descending steep slopes. Options include satellite radio, OnStar assistance system, a rear-seat entertainment system for Crew Cabs, and power-extending camper mirrors.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Pickup Trucks are traditionally the vehicle 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 1/2-ton models. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider 3/4- or 1-ton models.
Our Best Buys include Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-Series, and GMC Sierra. Our Recommended picks are Dodge Ram, Nissan Titan, and Toyota Tundra.

News
Sources say redesigned versions of the brawniest Silverados (and GMC Sierras) arrive in January 2007 as early '08 offerings. They share the basic GMT900 big-truck architecture with the new-wave light-duty models now reaching dealers.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Adequate with the 6.0-liter V8, but noticeably stronger with 8.1 V8 or 6.6 turbodiesel. Six-speed manual transmission positions 1st gear at the lower left of shift gate and 2nd where 1st normally is. This takes getting used to, though 1st is typically used only when hauling heavy loads and most big-rig buyers order automatic anyway.

Fuel Economy
Test 2500 Crew Cab with automatic and 300-hp turbodiesel averaged 14.2 mpg in all-city driving. A 3500 Crew Cab with same powertrain averaged 13.7. The 360-hp Duramax may return slightly better averages. Expect 10 mpg or less with gas V8s, for which Chevrolet recommends regular-grade fuel.

Ride Quality
Predictably trucky, but ride comfort tops among heavy-duty pickups. As usual, rough roads can cause bouncing with an empty bed, but all models cope well in most conditions.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Easy enough to drive except in tight confines, and body lean not excessive in turns. Brakes have somewhat spongy pedal feel, but stops are sure, reasonably swift, undramatic.

Quietness
Wind and road noise surprisingly subdued. Diesel engine intrudes only under full throttle--and then not much. Even better, latest Duramax is virtually free of the clatter, shake and smoke traditionally associated with diesels.

Controls
Clear gauges, convenient controls--except for the wiper switch, which is awkwardly combined with the turn signal lever.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Plenty of room, with comfortable seats. Ample seat travel even in regular cabs. High step-up, so entry/exit a chore.

Room/Comfort (rear)
With sufficient leg space and a nicely reclined seatback, extended cabs offer best-in-class room and comfort, with true three-adult seating. Crew cabs have even more space to rival similar Fords, but not jumbo Dodge MegaCab models. High step-up hinders entry/exit.

Cargo Room
Rear seat in extended cab folds up to create a good amount of storage space, though it lacks some of the features of competitors. Behind-seat room in regular cab beats Ford, trails Dodge.

Value within Class
They may be old, but these big rigs still offer much to like, especially their strong engines, high hauling limits, and comfortable rear-seat accommodations. Though the redesigned versions are improved in many areas, the Classic HDs are priced to move in this final year, a plus for buyers on a budget.

Price note: SRW denotes single rear wheels; DRW denotes dual rear wheels.
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.
