Whew! Are those a solid proof or what? Yeah, the Americans love it, the whole world loves it… everybody loves it! The 2007 Chevy Silverado has been the talk of the town this year. Displaying the best definition of a true workhorse and a steadfast pickup is what the Silverado is all about.

Now this is what they say about the Silverado! I know you have your own compliments too. Let’s hear some of the words stated from the world’s known auto journalists and reviewers and try to understand why they love the Silverado!

Road & Travel Magazine:
"…RTM editors made an obvious choice by announcing Chevrolet’s full-size, next generation Silverado as winner. There’s no confusing this pure pickup with anything of another genre. Looks alone - with hunky frame, broad chrome face and widest, double layer headlamps plus pleasantly cushy interior - would be enough to set it above the pack."

Matthew Nauman, San Jose Mercury News:
"Chevrolet Silverado has spared no effort in creating category standards for interior decor and exterior fit and finish. That this huge truck offers such a quality experience deserves high praise."

Lindsay Brooke, Automotive Engineering International:
"Chevrolet Silverado delivers significant leaps forward in interior design, craftsmanship and materials quality; ride and handling; NVH attenuation; and powertrain efficiency… In every Silverado I tested, I was knocked out by the classiness and high assembly quality of this truck’s interior."

Michelle Krebs, Freelance:
"Chevrolet Silverado - The best full-size truck on the market…"

Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com:
"The Silverado impresses immediately with clean, contemporary exterior styling and two equally smart-looking passenger cabin options."

Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com:
"Where the 2007 Silverado solidifies its case for Best Redesigned Vehicle, however, is on the road and the trail. Notably improved steering, braking, ride comfort, handling and power delivery combine in a vehicle that’s infinitely more satisfying in town and on the highway. Combined with the segment’s highest available (Crew Cab) towing capacity and… Best available fuel economy, we think Chevy’s newest pickup is poised to make quite an impact in this era of tougher and more luxurious trucks."

2007 Car and Driver 5Best Trucks Award:
"Put it all together, and pickups don’t get any better than the Silverado in 2007."

2007 Car and Driver 5Best Trucks Award:
"The small block V8, now in its second half-century of delivering usable power, provides a strong combination of performance, fuel economy, and refinement."
