The fourth generation of the legendary small-block V-8 engine family is the power behind GM’s all-new full-size trucks, delivering segment-leading horsepower and fuel economy through advanced technology such as Active Fuel Management (AFM) and variable valve timing (VVT). A FlexFuel engine is available – and partnered with fuel-saving AFM – giving customers the choice of powering their truck with E85 ethanol, gasoline or a combination of both fuels.
GM’s fuel-saving Active Fuel Management bolsters the trucks’ capability with the segment’s best fuel economy. Highway fuel economy for models equipped with the 5.3L AFM V-8 now are estimated at more than 20 mpg for both 2WD and 4WD models.
Engine offerings include:
- 4.3L V-6 (LU3), rated at 195 hp (145 kW) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (353 Nm).
- 4.8L V-8 (LY2), with iron block; rated at 295 hp (220 kW) and 305 lb.-ft. of torque (414 Nm)*.
- 5.3L FlexFuel V-8 (LMG), E85-capable with iron block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*.
- 5.3L FlexFuel V-8 (LC9), E85-capable with aluminum block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*.
- 5.3L V-8 (LH6), with aluminum block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*.
- 5.3L V-8 (LY5), with iron block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*.
- 6.0L V-8 (L76), with aluminum block, variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management, rated at 367 hp (274 kW) and 375 lb.-ft. of torque (508 Nm)*.
- 6.2L V-8 (L92), with aluminum block and variable valve timing, rated at 400 hp (298 kW) and 417 lb.-ft. of torque (565 Nm)** – exclusive on GMC Sierra Denali.
The engines are backed by proven Hydra-Matic electronically controlled automatic transmissions, including the proven 4L60 four-speed automatic, high-capacity 4L70 four-speed automatic and a new 6L80 six-speed with the Sierra Denali’s 6.2L engine.
Channeling the engines’ power into usable capability and a refined, responsive drive experience are comprehensively redesigned chassis and suspension systems. The chassis and suspension systems deliver a smooth and precise feeling of control, particularly when driving on rough surfaces or with a full load. The chassis and suspension also support Silverado and Sierra’s class-leading capability, including segment-best towing capacity of 10,500 pounds (4,763 kg) and a maximum payload of 2,160 pounds (980 kg).
An all-new chassis, with wider front and rear tracks and new coil-over-shock front suspension design, is supported by tailored suspension packages that provide smooth, sure-footed ride and handling characteristics in all driving conditions.
- A new, fully boxed frame that is significantly stronger and stiffer – 234 percent increased torsional stiffness and 62 percent increased vertical bending stiffness – with a hydroformed front section, enhancing both the smooth ride characteristics and crash protection.
- Wider front and rear tracks – approximately 3 inches wider (76.2 mm) in front and 1 inch wider (25.4 mm) in rear – enable increased stability, as well as a smoother, more controlled ride, particularly when cornering or with a full load.
- A new coil-over-shock front suspension is mounted to the frame via a high-strength, precise attachment system for exceptional rigidity and delivers a linear, responsive ride that enhances the trucks’ fully planted driving feel.
- New rack-and-pinion steering system delivers precise, responsive steering with enhanced on-center feel; it is mounted on the front frame section’s engine cross member, the strength of which virtually eliminates slack or vibration in the steering system to enhance its crisp response.
- A Hotchkiss-type rear suspension with splayed shock absorbers – angled outward and upright – provides more controlled damping and is a key contributor in the trucks’ firmly-planted driving feel; it also enables increased payload and segment-leading towing capacities.
- Exclusive Eaton automatic locking rear axle enhances sure-footed driving feel and instantly provides extra traction when needed.
- Large-capacity brake system with robust apply system and standard next-generation Bosch ABS system provide shorter stopping distances, better pedal feel and quicker brake response
- Standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control is standard on crew cab models (available on extended cab) – a first for the segment – and incorporates rollover mitigation technology; it works with the ABS brake system to provide greater driver control in all driving conditions
- Range of 17-, 18- and 20-inch wheels with tailored body-to-wheel relationship.
The 2007 Silverado and Sierra are available with five suspension systems, each tuned to provide an optimized ride with smoothness, a greater feeling of isolation from the road and minimal body movement; all suspensions feature monotube front shocks. The suspensions include:
- Z83 – solid, smooth ride
- Z85 – enhanced handling and trailer towing
- Z71 – enhanced off road capability
- Z60 – maximum street performance (offered with 20-inch wheels)
- NHT – maximum capacity trailering package
In a first for the segment, GM’s sophisticated StabiliTrak electronic stability control system is standard on crew cab models and available on extended cab models. Partnered with the new brake system and four-channel electronic brake controls, the system provides more precise, controlled ABS stops, as well as enhanced traction/yaw stability.
Silverado and Sierra are built on new, stronger fully boxed frames that are designed to provide increased crush protection during a crash. High-strength steel reinforcements are strategically located on the frame to enhance crashworthiness. They also feature new compatibility brackets that ensure better interaction with lower-riding vehicles during a crash.
Driver control is bolstered through enhanced dynamics, such as wider front and rear tracks, as well as more responsive suspensions – including a new coil-over-shock front suspension design and rack-and-pinion steering – that deliver smoother, linear and more precise characteristics for a more confident, sure-footed driving performance.
- New, roof-mounted head curtain side air bags inflate to restrain outboard passengers in both seating rows, offering protection during side-impact and rollover events; they are sized specifically to all three cab styles and each has its own dedicated inflator for optimized fill rates into each curtain. The air bags are integrated into the chassis and body structures for enhanced passenger protection.
- Dual-stage frontal air bags with GM’s passenger sensing system are standard on all models.
- Segment-first front safety belt pretensioners with both front and rear crash sensors.
- StabiliTrak electronic stability control system is standard on crew cab models and available on extended cab models – and is a first for the segment. Partnered with the new brake system and four-channel, four-sensor electronic brake controls, the system provides more precise, controlled ABS stops, as well as enhanced traction/yaw stability.
- A high capacity brake system with a new, four-channel ABS system provides superior stopping capability. ABS is standard on all models and is linked to the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system to help mitigate the occurrence of rollover events.
- Four-wheel drive models feature the Autotrac active transfer case, which helps keep the vehicle sure-footed in slippery driving conditions. When shifted to the “Auto” mode, Autotrac engages all-wheel drive traction automatically.
- An exclusive Eaton automatic locking rear axle also helps provide additional traction when needed, particularly when towing.
- A new Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist system is available and provides visual (LED lights) and audible warnings of objects behind the vehicle.
- A revised and easier-to-use tire pressure monitoring system is standard on all models. It alerts the driver via a signal on the instrument panel driver information center if a tire’s inflation status requires attention.
- A segment-exclusive factory-installed remote vehicle starting system is available on most models – a first for GM’s full-size trucks – providing customers with the convenience of starting the vehicle during inclement weather or other situations.
- Power-adjustable pedals complement increased front seat fore/aft travel to enable smaller-stature drivers to find an optimized driving position.

this seems like a good idea. The Luxury interior needs to be a few notches above the truck version, not just a fancy wood grain kit. my friend has a Hemi Ram and for how much he paid for that thing the interior sure is ****ty.

DRASTICALLY better interior than the upcoming Tundra.
I am not a huge fan of the GM trucks, but the styling has gone too far with other makes, and I think that this ‘conservative’ redesign really helps to distinguish the truck from the pack… and I like it better than the others.
Offering 3 different interiors (that we know of so far) is awesome as well. name ANY other vehicle that gives you a choice from three drastically different interiors in the same vehicle! Color me impressed, although I like the lines of the GMC better.

I have a 2005 Silverado and I didn’t really like this at first but it’s definately growing on me. I may have to consider an upgrade here soon. And the 1500 tows 10,500 lbs, which blows Ford, Dodge, Toyota (yes even the new Tundra), and Nissan away. The payload is class leading too at more than 2,000 lbs. And the 6.2 liter can’t be touched in any other 1/2 ton truck and that is undisputable. Sounds like a kick ass truck to me!

Which interior is “luxury-inspired”? The one with fake wood looks cheap and tacky. The two-tone gray, while utilitarian, looks suprisingly good with a “tech” vibe. Few GM cars look so good, although some are improving.

Its too bad now that the GMC and the Chevy look too much alike. At least with the current 2006 bodystyle, the two trucks have their own distinct face with quite a bit different grilles and headlights. Not any more

The headlights are kinda similar to front end of Toyota Tacoma. Notice where the turn signals are? Kinda like the Tacoma.
Still a crappy truck. GMC is a waste of company. Practically a CLONE of Chevy.

Now lets see what the New 2500/3500’s can do. I heard about a new Diesel that is amazing. Thats what I would go for. No petrol for me. That 6.2L for the Denali is going to CHUG gasoline. Probably un seat the Ram as the worst MPG truck. Exaclty what we need.

Hey #27, the 4.3 is ONLY available as a base enging on a 2wd 1500. The standard on all others is the 4.8, and let me tell you from experience it stands up to a Hemi quite well, even being almost a full liter smaller.

We’re discussing where to put the deckchairs while the ship is sinking. This Chevrolet Silverado and 2007 GMC Sierra won’t help the fact that, unless something drastically happens, american car industry I fear is facing bankrupcy.
What happened to the visionary and bold designers? It really pisses me off when we all know that the US has got so much potential. And I live in Europe…

4.3 Still go 200000 miles all the time in fleet use.
GMC Looks a little meaner.
Amazingly they sold well without the update, I imagine this will continue.
Stop with the US auto is going to go bankrupt. GM could stand to loose money for the next 15 years and not go bankrupt with all of the assets it posesses. Next Quarter GM will start posting profits (which by the way is why they are rated “BUY”.
Nissan and Toyota will never be strong in this segment for the same reason people won’t give up their iPods for Microsoft music players. In this case GM actually understands the buyers better.

NAW, #37, you’re wrong. While a console floor shifter is nice, as a truck buyer, I prefer the column mounted shifter, as it leaves me more space up front for gear. Console shifters are nice, but I wouldn’t necessarily buy a truck based on the location of the shifer. Say, a question for you, when GM “fold’s and die” as you hope, what will replace the $85 Billion a year impact on the economy ? Only the U.S. Government (Military actually)purchases more goods and service’s than GM. I’d kinda like ‘em to hang around, as they are a major driver of the U.S. economy…..:-)

First of all, nobody needs a truck! I hate those morons driving around with not a scratch in the bed area.
Those “image” thing is soooo late 1990’s and early 2000’s. I mean, really, its so emabrassing for them where everybody (non-truck drivers) knows its dated to have that “gotta have a cool truck” phase!
The companies should stop designing the pickup trucks. I mean, stop for 20 years. Keep the interior all basic and all vinyl floorings and seats and the outside to have all primed bumpers and grille. Go back to 1970’s where the trucks were for WORK only!!

I own a 2003 Z71 Silverado (with plenty of wear on the rino liner jack ass)and I like it a lot. But I think this new rig is much better looking. By they way 60, the E85 engine runs on regular just fine. It doesnt have to have E85, its just capable of using it if it’s available and the driver wants it.

GM could have saved millions by just upgrading the last generation models with the new grilles and interiors. The new ones look like the previous generation trucks anyway. What’s the point? If you are designing a new truck, make it look like a new truck.

I’ve got an 04 silverado ex-cab. It’s rated 18 mpg hiway but just a freeflowing muffler I get as much as 23 mpg. This new Silverado will do better. If you want awfull gas mpg buy a tundra (new or older)or a dodge or ford. By the way my 04 is a $WD with the 5.3
P.S. screw the Japanese economy,Buy American ya freeken democrats.

Is it just me or is having a option for rain sensing wipers but sticking them (expect for GMC with big engine) with a four speed transmission a bad idea? GM did this with minivans as well – class trailing transmission technology. MB has 8 speeds out there, Caddy has a 6 speed but the brand new pickups have a 4 speed? Could have helped fuel economy and performance.

I think that these are going to be a huge hit. They have made a lot of innovative uptades to the interior (like the bottleholder in the door and the dual glovebox) and the choices for the cargo appear to be incredibly versitale.
At the moment, this looks like a great offering. Ford and Dodge need to really step up with the next versions of their truck, and I find it mildly humerous to see the new tundra deemed nearly obselete so soon. Given this is my opinion, so take it at face value, but I think toyota struck out on both its interior, exterior, powertrain, and cargo. The tundra will once again be left for the urban/suburban family.

As far as everyones commets about the shifter… surprisingly, based on the markets perception that almost half of truck buyers are people that actually make the purchase for “perception” rather than necessity, the need for an optional floor mounted shifter is important. One of the reasons that the big three are trying to make their trucks more car-like is because of these types of buyers. As for the new trucks, while they all look sharp, unfortunatly they dont offer anything to bring people who werent already driving American trucks into GM’s showrooms. This is a nice product that already loyal customers will appreciate, however, all the people that were already considering foreigh vehicles will not really be reconsidering after these vehicles are released. Its going to be a very difficult road ahead for those of us in Detroit…

I’ll just say, the Silverado looks fugly. The Sierra looks nicer. But, besides all of this, Ford has just released the tow ratings and payload ratings on the ‘07 F-150. Tow rating matches, and payload rating has beaten both of these. Ford has a little to worry about, but not that much.

when you have a large market share as gm has in full size pickups all they wanted to do was keep up their share. I think these trucks are very strong looking and seem to have the best interiors I’ve seen on a pickup so far.

I think they did a very good job.. The consumer demands choice right now, that’s the way it should be. The current Ipod style culture is not healthy for the consumer because they lose choice. That is exactly what GM has done. Put the power in the consumer’s hand. The trucks offer anything they could be looking for. There isn’t a reason not to buy these as opposed to some of the competition which do not offer certain features. I think GM is on the right track. This may not be a grand slam like many deem necessary (I don’t). But sometimes a home run is all you need and for GM right now, a score is enough. They just need back the confidence in their product that they have been losing.

Did no one read that all of these new engines choices (except the v6) will now have variable valve timeing (VVT) and Active Fuel Management (AFM). No other truck manufacturer has that combo. No one besides Toyota makes a 8 cylinder with VVT. In addition the new GM 6.2 liter will be available with a new 6l80e 6 speed auto. This with the AFM should help this truck get close if not over 20mpg for a 6000lb vehicle. I can get upto 15.8 @ 70mph on my current 6.0l 2500 CC Silverado. The 08 model year GM is integrateing a 6speed two mode hybrid into most of these trucks. GM designed, and is building it, DCX, and BMW will be buying it from GM and published articles say the Ford is begging GM to get it. GM is not going bankrupt, rather every other auto maker is probally scrambling to figure out how to compete with a GM 1500 with a 4.8l VVT AFM combo that should be approaching over 25 mpg highway. My sister has a Dakota that with a V6 that only gets 17 on good day. The only thing GM missed on this round is they need to release the 4.8 liter diesel that they have been working on and a larger cab option is needed like the Ram MegaCab.

It looks ok but kind of boring. The Sierra does look a little better. I wander if this truck is really going to bring in more sales…
The new Tundra will have the ability to tow over 10,000 pounds with its new 5.7 Liter V8 engine and six speed automatic transmission. It supersized the previous Tundra in terms of size or dimension.
The new Tundra offers class leading roomy passenger cabin, and the controls are large enough for construction workers without taking off hardhats and gloves. Toyota is known for their quiet interior and reliability, not to mention the great resale value.
As a person who have driven both American and Japanese trucks, I would definitely go with the new Tundra in my opinion.
There will definitely be intense competition when the 2007 Tundra arrives

I agree John, I would take a 2007 Tundra any day over either of these two, but of these 2 trucks the Sierra is far superior in exterior looks. I really find it humorous that they offer the “traditional truck” interior, the “interior you find in every other GM product” interior, and the “navigation” interior as if they’re offering something special, when really you just get to pick from 3 choices of generic cloned crap. The Denali looks decent on the outside, even though its an answer to a question NOBODY asked

Now I see the new Silverado and Im pissed, they need to get some new mechanical engineers at GM this trucks body style is horrible. Nice interior but still not enough room in the crew cab and wheel wells are ugly. They need to keep it plain and sleek down the edges and an agressive front end. Engines sound great its just the truck that makes me shake my head. I Hate Ford and Dodges but I sure hope Chevy can impress me with the next Silverado. Heres some advice get the engineers that are responsible for the new Corvette they can design.

Between the 2, The GM has the better styling. The Silverado looks like its smiling at you, kind of like the original Dodge Neon, or the current VW Beetle.

This looks like a combination of ever other truck out there. Chevy and gmc had the same looking trucks year after year. They looked so much like all the other chevy and gmc year models. Now they look so much like all the other trucks out there. Those rear tail lights look like they would be interchangeable with a Dodge. The thing that pisses me off is that I used to be a chevy man thru and thru. Not anymore. They need to fire all their designers for being so uncreative that they would result to coping other trucks styling. After waiting so many years for gm to redesign their truck fleet this new truck is unforgiveable. I will never buy another GM truck. I was waiting for this new truck to come out before I bought my next truck. I have to buy a new truck at this very moment. I’m going to buy the new ford supercrew. At least that truck has a look as if some thought went into it’s design. GM will lose a huge part of the truck market with this dud.

Ford announced that the new maximum towing capacity for the f-150 will also be 10,500 lbs. Now, I didn’t hear or read about any news of them upgrading the frame in those trucks, or putting in more powerful engines, so there’s something that Ford is keeping secret. Besides, if you don’t do those two things I just mentioned, you can’t raise the maximum towing capacity, right?

I just leased the ‘07 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE with the LTZ package; 4 x 4 with the 5.3 liter VORTEC V8, and can report that it is a TOTALLY AWESOME TRUCK! The technology is there, the ride is firm and confident. It really turns heads, I’ve gotten lots of favorable comments from perfect strangers. Mine is black with grey interior, which matches my other vehicle, (06 Chrysler 300C HEMI.) It has the rear view TV camera, which shows up on the NAV unit. The NAV unit is GPS based, and operates in real time. I actually PREFER the column shifter on a truck, but I don’t think anyone uses that criteria as a basis for deciding what to buy. I also get rack & pinion steering, rain sensor windshield wipers. The sound system is 340 WATT BOSE tuned system, with AM/FM/XM and an IPOD adapter. The steering wheel controls are well laid out and intuitive. The remote start feature is something I’m learning to appreciate. FLEXFUEL ™ technology, displacement on demand technology, and massive 4 wheel disc brakes complete the package. The styling is much cleaner and more expensive looking, especially the interior. I work as a commercial construction electrician, I really NEED a truck for work. (and I’m a gay democrat, so don’t say that politics has anything to do with what someone drives) Also, most the guys I work with are kind of conservative when it comes to trucks, Japanese trucks aren’t especially popular, plus, not even Ford or Dodge offer anythink like the midgate™ feature, which dramatically increases versatility. This truck with a big honking V8 gets BETTER MILEAGE than the V6 Honda RIDGELINE!! Props to GENERAL MOTORS for showing everyone else how trucks are done. It’s really amazing to me just exactly how nice trucks have gotten over the years, it wasn’t that long ago that pick-up trucks were really spartan, and a chore to drive. The only items I wish it had are xenon beam HID headlights, a six speed transmission, one-touch express windows, down AND up, on all four windows, (why is that feature so slow to arrive?)

Well you have to praise GM for their leading fuel economy with the utilization of Active Fuel Management. Now with the flex fuel engine that can run on 85 Ethanol, GM are definately pioneers in technology, on-star is a great example. It is nice to have the available alternate fuel sources. Personally I think that’s better than getting fuel on another planet which was a suggested comment that was posted here earlier.

Yawn –
This truck is just as boring as the Yukon/Avalanche/Suburban/Tahoe/Caddy Crap that they have on the market.
Absolutely no technology improvements. If you want to call “active fuel management” TECHNOLOGY then you are living in a dream world. Chevy tried that a long time ago and failed miserably. Oh how quickly the public forgets when GM paid so much money to sweep that crap under the carpet. It’s only a matter of time before this “active fuel management” goes awry. Quite interesting that GM is trying to claim Flex Fuel as their own. Kind of interesting since Ford invented that technology 20+ years ago!!!! A lot of GM’s “technology” can be attributed to Ford Motor Company. OnStar you say? Technology??? Umm…let me see here. I’d rather be in a truck that allows me to reach down to my cell phone and CALL FOR HELP after an injury. If I lock my keys out of the car, then guess what? I’ve got my keypad to let me back in!!! AND I DON’T HAVE TO PAY 30 BUCKS A MONTH FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to understand – GM leads the world in recalls for a reason – they make pathetic, cheap crap. Ford even hired Polk to debunk GM’s half truth that their trucks are the “most reliable trucks on the road.” Now that THAT comment is worthless for GM, they have only LOOKS to go on to sell trucks. Of course, they also have the very naive Chevy booster who thinks that their trucks are worth more than $20.
Face it – redesigning an interior and having a wannabe Super Duty front, F150 side, Dodge Ram bed, with a Ford ripoff logo on the back “technologic” advancements, then you’re a complete idiot. GM stopped making trucks in the 90’s. All they make now is crap. Recalls are testament to that. So is my 2002 Silverado that burned to the ground with 2,000 miles on it.
The tundra and the titan are pathetic excuses for trucks. The Ram is a good truck if you’re only ready to replace your brake system every 10,000 miles. That only leaves the F150. I have owned 5 of them – ran all of them up to 200,000 miles before I traded any of them in. My workforce includes 25 F150’s, 10 250’s, and 10 350’s – buying tires, brakes, oil changes and tire rotations (with an occasional fluid flush of some type) is EASY on the pocketbooks.
