Reviewing: 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Extended Cab SB 4WD

The Silverado shares a platform with the Tahoe and
Suburban full-size SUVs. These models were the
first on this all-new platform. General Motors has
tried to share the best attributes among these
different models — and the sister trucks from the
GMC brand — while keeping them distinct. Even for
one model, the varieties are a lot to wade through:
The Silverado comes in regular, extended and Crew
Cab body styles and offers short, standard and long
cargo box lengths; there are eight powertrain
combinations, many suspension packages and four
trim levels. Of course there's also rear- or four-
wheel drive, as well as heavy-duty versions.

Pros — OFF ROAD CAPACITIES EQUIPMENT
Cons — NOTHING

I drove this truck a few weeks ago and i've followed it very closely ever since it has been released. just let me say that everything about this truck impressed me in one way or another, especially over the previous model, which was in much need of a up-grade considering it was based on a vehicle from 1999. Drove just like a car and fit and finish was some of the best i've seen from GM. GM quality is increasing with every new model and we can only hope it continues that way!

Pros — Ride, handling, overall design, and has solid power
Cons — needs a 6 speed automatic!

Reviewing: 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck

Overall this truck is great for people who have never owned one before (like me). It has a very nice appearance overall and drives solid. I have some upgrades planned to make it a much more fieldable truck. The acceleration isnt bad for a 4.3 Liter, V6, cranking out 195 horses under the hood. I am looking at doing some performance upgrades as well though. The top speed of this tiny monster is 99 MPH. I believe there is either a speed governor or an RPM limiter installed (I will take it off/disable it later)

Pros — Well put together
Very cool design
Exterior and Interior work in tandem
Good acceleration and handling is not too shabby either
Very strong metals used, multiple crash zones
6.5 foot truck bed standard provides plenty of room
Most towing in its class, in stock form.
OnStar for free
Cons — Brakes do NOT perform well at high speeds
Very heavy in the front end (duh!)
Not much room behind the seats
Very low to the ground in the front
Aerodynamics of the vehicle are a bit sketchy
