For you Space - 07 Silverado

Here you are Space, Pics of the new 07 Silverado. The third one is the truck as it arrived at the dealership. The others are after the goodies were put on. I hope the pics come through alright. I tried to post more to my album but got the message that I exceeded the size or something.

"Um, yes. I'd like a job where this guy works."
 
 

Thanks for your words Space. I'm glad you like the truck. From what I've seen and heard from/about you, your dreams will most certainly someday be reality. I have been working all my life at some times 3 jobs. Like the man says "All things come to he who waiteth, providing he works like hell while he waiteth."
I do however feel very fortunate that life has evolved over the years for me so that I can afford to indulge my passion, Cars and Trucks, and as you can see, I'm a Chevy guy. The time will come for you as well.

That's a great lookin truck.  The goodies really make it pop.  Chrome gasoline door, mirrors, and awesome wheels.
 
Oh yeah, and the vents on the windows too.

as much as I love GM trucks and as much as i love the past silverados.....i cant stand the new silverados.
 
the back fenderwells are sooooo ugly to me.  all you can see is sheet metal and that is godawful.  just my opinion....
 
it is a pretty truck....the dark colors are ok b/c they dont show the rear fenderwell as much

You are right Dale. My truck has the 20" wheels, and it helps fill in the wheelweels somewhat. I have seen some with the standard 17" wheels and in certain colors, the wheelwells do look overly large. The darker colors seem to hide it better. But as Space says, most manufacturers seem to be going this way, possibly because they are offering such a wide variety of wheel sizes, they need the clearance.
 
Prior to this truck, I had a 2005 Z71, and honestly, there is no comparison between the two. GM has done their homework on this vehicle. It is a big step up from the pevious generation. I admit, when I first saw pictures of the new cosmetic design, I wasn't overly impressed, but like all new designs, it takes a while to get used to.
 
Since these pictures were taken, I have added a Magnaflow cat back dual exhaust, and one thing that takes getting used to is when the engine does it's V8/V4 mode changes, the exhaust note changes. It sounds a little strange but again, I'm getting used to it.

I love your truck Rev, i guess it is the 20s. I think the 17s look awful. 
 
I did see a brand new black silverado that was lifted and was sitting on 35s it was amazing to say the least

 
thats what you should do to your silverado Rev
 
i love lifted trucks.....my buddy has a lifted 1994 Sierra Ext. Cab.....and i love it

Now that baby really accents the wheel well openings. I'm not into the heavy duty jacked up look. I'm more of the "Bling Bling" kinda guy.

Hi Space.
 
The review has it right on the gauges. I don't notice the "Tilt" the guy is talking about, but because they are set deep in, the lower left (fuel) and lower right (Temp) gauges are hard to see in the daylight. They should have backlit these even in the daytime.
 
I don't know what he is talking about regarding the placement of the gas and brake pedals, they seem fine to me. If anything, I find the steering requires a bit more force than my 05, and I certainly wouldn't want it to be any heavier a feel.
 
By far the most noticeable improvement I have found is the seat. I just couldn't seem to get the seat in my 05 to a position where I was happy for any length of time. I don't think I have adjusted the new one since I picked it up. It really seems to mould to your back and is far more comfortable all around.
 
As he says, its neat to watch the engine switch for V8 to V4, but as I stated earlier, it's hard to get used to the exhaust note changing, for seemingly no apparent reason. My last truck had a Magnaflow Cat-Back system, and although it wasn't overly loud in the cab by any means, you didn't notice it because the sound was constant once the truck was in overdrive.
 
All in all, the 07 is a much better vehicle than the 05.

Conclusion:
Arguably the best pickup available today, surely the best Chevrolet pickup ever, the new Silverado delivers modern comfort and conveniences (OnStar, parking assist, Satellite radio, air bags, leather seating, DVD entertainment) along with a stronger and more robust frame and improved engines. If you need a pickup to tow, haul, or carry your loads, Silverado deserves a test drive.

I'd love to take it for a test drive.
