2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD Crew Cab

摘要

It happens every year: Once ourTruck of the Year winner joins the Motor Trend long-term fleet, it becomes the hardest-working vehicle we have. Knowing it would be the same story for our 2007 Silverado, it was outfitted for labor and versatility-and power and comfort. Aha, you say-another topline long-termer with every option box checked, eh? Well, not quite. We needed a crew cab, but, unfortunately, that meant we couldn't get the maximum trailering package, which would've given the half-ton 4:10 gears, 4L70 four-speed automatic, 9.5-inch rearend, and heavy-duty cooling system.The 3:73s, 4L60, and 8.75-inch rear would suffice. Plus, we knew the Z71 package came with a locking rear diff. We also opted for the LT1 group instead of the best-of-the-best LTZ. Without any options above and beyond the basic LT1 trim, the four-wheel-drive crew cab's MSRP would've been $32,515. We requested the LT1 convenience, safety, E-Z Lift tailgate, and Z71 off-road suspension packages; the 367-horsepower, 6.0-liter V-8 with Active Fuel Management; sunroof; and a few other goodies, bringing the bottom line to $38,802.
