2007 Chevrolet Silverado HD Review
General Motors' brawniest pickup trucks are redesigned for 2007 with fresh looks, new features, and revised powerteams. Silverado HD is the heavy-duty version of Chevrolet's full-size Silverado 1500. GMC's Sierra HD models differ mainly in front-end appearance. Both brands also sell Classic HDs for 2007. These are '06-model carryovers with a basic design dating from 1999 and are covered in separate reports.
The redesigned Silverado HDs offer 3/4-ton 2500 and 1-ton 3500 series in WT (Work Truck), LT, and luxury LTZ trim. Cab styles are a 2-dr regular, 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 with a flip-up cushion that's now split 60/40. The regular cab comes only with an 8-foot "long" cargo box. Extendeds and crews also offer a 6.5-foot "short" bed. The long bed is included with optional dual rear wheels.
An 8.1-liter gasoline V8 is not offered in the new lineup, but the HD's base 6.0-liter gains 53 hp for 353 total. The 6.6-liter "Duramax" turbodiesel V8 returns from a 2006 update with 365 hp. Both engines mate to 6-speed automatic transmissions, replacing 4-speed units. Manual transmission is no longer available.
All models have four-wheel ABS disc brakes. A newly available integrated trailer-brake controller links these with trailer brakes to enhance stopping stability while towing. Buyers can choose rear-wheel drive or one of two 4WD systems with low-range gearing: a basic setup that is not designed for dry pavement, and GM's all-surface Autotrac 4WD. An automatic locking rear differential is standard, as is a "handling/towing" Z85 suspension. An available Z71 off-road package includes an uprated suspension and chassis skid plates. Every HD has tire-pressure monitor and GM OnStar assistance. Side airbags are unavailable.
Interiors come in "Pure Pickup" and "Luxury Inspired" designs. Rear doors on extendeds now open to 170 degrees and include full-drop power windows. New convenience options include rear-obstacle detection, remote starting system, power-adjustable pedals, and power-sliding rear window (except regular cabs). Also newly available is an "EZ Lift" tailgate assist feature and bed-wall cargo rails with sliding anchorages for various accessories. Among other options are a swing-out bed extender, heated front seats, touch-screen navigation system, satellite radio, and rear DVD entertainment.
This evaluation is based on preview test drives.

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.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Adequate with either V8 and light loads, but turbodiesel gets the nod for towing and heavy hauling thanks to its massive 660 lb-ft torque. Smooth, alert automatic transmissions rival those in many cars. Their tow/haul mode adjusts shift points for best performance with heavy loads. GM claims best-in-class towing capacities at up to 13,000 lb with external hitch, 16,700 with in-bed "5th-wheel" hitch.

Fuel Economy
Test 4WD extended-cabs with the 6.0-liter V8 averaged 11.0-12.6 mpg. GMC recommends regular-grade fuel for the gas V8.

Test 4WD extended-cabs with the 6.0-liter V8 averaged 11.0-12.6 mpg. GMC recommends regular-grade fuel for the gas V8.
Ride Quality
Still tops for comfort among heavy-duty trucks. As usual, rippled surfaces and large bumps cause some jiggle and tail hop with light bed loads, but ride otherwise composed, absorbent in any model. Available Z71 suspension may improve off-road prowess, but seriously compromise overall comfort.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Surprisingly pleasant, easy to drive except when maneuvering in tight spaces. Hefty size and weight limit cornering speed, as does expected big-truck body lean, but excellent straightline stability. Brakes furnish stable, relatively short stops with fine pedal feel. Optional trailer-brake controller a safety plus for towing.

Quietness
Highway wind noise impressively low for tall, blocky big rigs. Tire thrum modest except on coarsest pavement. Engines intrude only under full throttle. Smooth, refined Duramax V8 has virtually no detectable diesel clatter or smoke. Again, Z71 a detriment, off-road-ready tires roar unduly at anything over 45 mph.

Controls
Clear, legible gauges, but wiper switch still on turn-signal stalk, which some testers dislike. Pure Pickup interior puts audio/climate controls high on dashboard. Luxury version mounts them lower, but still within easy reach. Optional navigation system absorbs most audio functions, but higher trim levels offer redundant controls on steering wheel. Cabin materials and assembly are worthy of some cars. Even the basic Work Truck trim has a quality look and feel despite abundant hard plastic.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Ample adult room. Bucket and bench seats both comfortable, but don't provide much side support. Newly available power-adjust pedals a boon for shorter drivers. High step-up makes entry/exit a chore for most everyone.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Bulky center console, with front bucket seats, limits toe space for rear-center passenger. Head room generous. Seatbacks comfortably angled. Leg room ample in crew cabs, tight in extendeds with front seat more than halfway back. Wide-opening rear doors help offset high step-in in extendeds, but can be tough to close by a seated passenger.

Cargo Room
Regular cab competitive with Ford and Dodge for behind-seat room. Extendeds and crews match or beat most rivals for in-cab cargo space, and the exclusive split flip-up seat allows carrying bulky items and one or two rear passengers. Ample small-items storage includes large bins and underseat cubbies front and rear, plus big door pockets and, with Pure Pickup interior, a second dashboard glovebox. Available bed-wall rails mount dividers and other add-ons to secure and organize cargo.

Value within Class
GM's newest big rigs retain the many assets of previous models while improving on performance, refinement, cabin comfort, and build quality. The result is an appealing blend of car-like civility and work-truck brawn, bolstered by numerous class-exclusive features such as all-surface 4WD. In all, a must-see for anyone shopping heavy-duty pickups.

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.
