I too am a very frustrated gm fan and now former owner. You would never get me back in a Silverado, especially with the way the new 2007 look. I’m on my way to my nearest Ford dealer. At least they can design something that looks and runs like a truck.

adjectives for the the exterior = cluttered & confused… this confirms that the glimmer of hope GM manages to produce every once in a while is luck not an actual turnaround. I am disappointed with the exterior’s lack of cleanliness. Did the gaps on the body panels increase or does it just look like that because they doubled the number of gaps on the front end? None of the bulges (fenders/hood/etc.) are in harmony and create a perception that the design team over-tinkered with the trivial elements when they should have been focusing on creating a few defining lines that are impressionable. GM needs to find a more discerning view of design that can be applied at the macro level. The truck segment needs more than a splash especially considering today’s economy!

I give up! Ford F150 here I come. Goodby 2003 Silverado. I’d never purchase this ugly 2007 version. GM really missed the mark. Always having to play catch up and copying Ford.

Gee, what I would like to know is where in the hell did you get that huge AX to cut off the front and back of the damn thing!!?? Looks like a damn semi smashed it right in the front…and the GM guys said..”yeah…that’ll work for me!! If you ask me…the only thing this truck would be good for is to let my daughter put it with her Barbie dreamhome!!Maybe you and Mattel should hook up!!Hmmm…just wondering here…I am pretty good at drawing STICK PEOPLE….YOU GUYS MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN HIRING ME!!!!Please…I have to get out of this website, for I fear I am about to puke!!

Do you know how many people were grousing about GM’s truck grills? 98 out of 100 customers were mad and just getting madder.This is bloody sweet.Plain like a truck should be.Plain Jane.Great work,GM.Be encouraged.

No,wrong,this is a great improvement from earlier GM truck fronts.Many people were not happy.Now it has a nice basic front and rear.

This truck looks horrible! I have a 2000 Silverado, and I was going to trade-in on this new body style.
It has to be the ugliest truck GM has ever built. The front is too plain, way too much chrome, the windows look awful, and the tail lights look like a Ford! Maybe I should do what one other person said and just
get a good deal on a close-out ’06! If Chevy plans to keep this truck as the final design, I predict they will have a big loss in truck sales. GM could have done so much more with this vehicle…what were they thinking?

As a female, I have always been into GM trucks, at least until 2007. Nissan and Ford, here I come.

Amos – I agree – GM needs to find some better designer and engineers. Too bad, they had a chance to make a difference with the 07.

I can’t take it much longer. Was hoping to trade my 2003 Z71 LT for a 2007. I’m going to take a serious look at the F150. GM missed the mark again.

I have been waiting dillegently for almost a year to see this truck before I made a purchase. I am certainly not blown away, but it does look different than the 07 “Classic”. To me the front looks like a late 90′s 3500. The rear looks OK. The flared fenders look like add-on’s. They just don’t jive with the flat, plain side panels(doors). I am dissapointed to say the least – it just doesn’t make a statement! The wheels are entirely too small for this drive train (Z71). Unless the interior is super futuristic and well laid out – I think this truck will be a huge disapointment for GM. I’m not too hip on the general direction the full sized trucks are heading. I guess I’ll have to take advantage of the close-out prices on the 06′s or wait another 2 or 3 years for Ford to do something different.

really do not like the looks of this truck. Chevy trucks look like cars compared to Ford Trucks.

Ford F-Series is much better. Proof? Still #1 selling truck!

By: Ted

Does it look tough? No. It’s tough to look at.

Dodge – much better looking truck.
Ford – much better looking truck.
Nissan – somewhat better looking truck.
Toyota – slightly better looking truck.

Even if the GM trucks have a few more HP, can carry a little more weight, tow a few pounds more and get a mile or two more per gallon, I think GM truck sales are going to be dissapointing. The thing is just UGLY. And I don’t know why… because GM, like everyone else, has been looking at the well styled Ford F-150 and Dodge pickups for years. You’d think they’d have learned a thing or two by example.

SUCKS. the taillights are copying 100% off of the current F-150. garbage. give me a nissan titan or the new tundra any day over this piece of shit.

Reminds me of a Ford truck, overall I still think this truck looks like crap, to the Ford trucks.

The current truck looks more modern than that. I bet they’ll have a facelift done by ’09.

with the votex max engine factory at 345hp.just imagine a corsa exhaust,mas air flow sensor change and a k-n air box christ 400hp will be easy to dyno out at.life is to short to drive a cheap dodge built by k-mart,or a powerless crappy riding ford.i will not acknowlage rice burning.

I DONT LIKE IT AT ALL!! IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A CHEVY! FROM A LIFETIME CHEVY OWNER I THINK CHEVY REALLY NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH SOME BETTER IDEAS, AND DEFINATELY SOMETHING TO COMPETE WITH DODGE. ALL THE OTHER COMPANIES AER COMING OUT WITH SUPED UP MODELS AND CHEVY IS STILL BEHIND. BUT MY FAITH IN CHEVY IS STILL THERE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE AN LS2 ENGINE IN A SILVERADO. MAYBE A Z06 SILVERADO, JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

ouch… the front looks okay, but the rest looks TERRIBLE! The bulges on the bed are killers. Terrible

yeah, I think the Tundra will destroy this too. By the way, I think the Tundra is one of the best looking pickups ever (at least in the pics, I haven’t seen one in person yet)

Looks way to disproportioned, and low, to me. Lift it a bit and smooth out the body, and maybe i’ll approve, but it looks pretty ugly at this point. Like an old stepsider.. without the steps.

What I said was the truth, GM stylists chose to evolve the design. It looks dated already. There is no room for expletives here. And there is no room for biased morons like you bill. looks like you are the one eho needs to think about life more.

Take away the roof rack and the chrome steps and it’s ok bed forward…but the fender flares on the bed are KILLING me. The proportions are funky. I hope there’s another option.

I have put a lot of miles on my 03 Z71 extra cab. The only complaint I have is the constant failure of the defrost feature on the outside mirrors. Other than that, it is bullet proof, tough and the 5.3 ltr is a fantastic powerplant.
I try to never make a final decision on the looks of a car/truck until I have seen it live. Pictures rarely do justice.

i just hope its safer than the last generation. Seemed to get pretty poor safety ratings compared to other trucks in its class

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 04:38:44 +0000

It could use a taller bed to help the proportions. Oh and the hood gap is cavernous. That said, I saw a new Tundra Quad Cab testing in San Pedro and it looks even worse, like a Tacoma that ate too many bonbons.

Seems that the comments are close to a 50/50 split on love it or hate it which is an improvement considering how chevy products usually fare on these boards.

my opion: looking pretty ugly in these shots but I will save all judgement until I actually see one in person or atleast some better pictures

Just in time for me to trade in my 03.
Power train is going to kick a$$ on Ford as usual.
