2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 User Reviews

2007 Classic Ext Cab Z — The ext. cab z-71 is known for its offroad abilities without breaking or having any problems. The one I drive has the 5.3 liter flex fuel engine with the 3.42 gear ratio. When cruising at 55mph I can get 24mpg. That is astounding for a truck under any circumstance...and there has been no performance upgrading done yet. The truck accelerates great, brakes, and handles great. There is a trailer tow mode that switches the transmission's shift points thus making accellerating with heavy loads easier. There has been an excess of 1500lbs in the bed of the truck (in the rain too) and she handled it just fine. Pulling a boat is simple and easy..even taking it up steep, slick boatramps is a cinch. The Silverado is a great choice for a truck. So far, I have almost 30,000 miles and have had no problems. The only maintenance I have had done is on a bad speaker , oil changes, and tire rotation. Also, speaking of the tires, the Goodyear Wrangler AT's are showing very little wear at this stage.

Great Truck — I have had my Chevy truck for 8 months now. This is my 10th Chevy truck. It was a little scary spending over $30k for a truck, but I am thrilled with it. Guess my only "ding" on the truck is in the interior.it took a little getting used to as I find the front seats a little to low and kind of uncomfortable. My truck has the open console between the seats in front, so you cant store anything close in the front. I wished the lower models had a cover on this arm-rest to hide valuab les.My truck is black on black and the cloth interior seems to be holding up fine. No apparent finish issues or problems with how it was built. In past chevy trucks I have had, I found form and fit of parts to be somewhat lacking, but all those issues seem to be corrected. The power is great, and hauling is no problem. I haul a toy trailer, and a camper with no problems.The tailgate on the lower model trucks does not lock, I think this feature would be usefull to anyone who owns a truck. Take it from someone who has had a couple tailgates stolen, this cheap feature would save a bunch on deductables.The new body style truck has great all around views to drive, and a smooth ride on the highway. Gas mileage..... not so much, I realize I bought a full sized truck, but hoped for more than the 12-13 in town and 14-15 on the highway I am presently getting.

Really A Muscle Car With A Big Trunk — Hugely improved over the previous body style EXCEPT for the rear brakes: they went back to drums! I can't complain too much though, because the stopping is still excellent although the ABS is a little too overprotective and this can result in longer stopping distances on ice. Don't bother ordering the GM installed command start -- it works from a maximum of about 50 yards.

Just Bought The V6 — Truck is very appealing visually. The exterior is great, I even like the silver birch metallic color, it matches my Harley. Driving the truck, which I purchased yesterday, is fun..traded an 05 Jeep Cherokee and forgot the pure fun of a pick up..some basic instinct finds it appealing. I got the W/T w/V6..engine has adequate power for my needs and the package came with Cruise control, tilt steering, dual A/C and auto headlights for under 19,000..hard to beat the deal. the truck drives nice so far, haven't owned a Chevy in years but look forward to this..the dealer gave me a good deal on the Cherokee, which I was seriously upside down in. Anyway, I only have 180 miles on the truck but all is well so far..the interior is a little plain but, after all, it is a work truck. Fit and finish on the exterior is good quality, however, some of the materials used on the interior (plastic knobs) feel like Chevy could have done better.

I Love My Truck — This was my first pickup but certainly not my last. I will replace with similar Silverado perhaps the next one will have a sun roof. Excellent cargo space although back seat is a little close for large adults. I bought it new and have been the only driver.
