Car Reviews 2026 Chevrolet Silverado Ltz 4X4

2007 Silverado LTZ 1500 4WD pickup reviewWhen I was a kid, I drew a rather un-flattering picture of my teacher on the blackboard. She flew into a rage and dragged me off to the headmaster’s office. While this was going on, my classmates rolled around on the floor laughing their socks off.You see, there is always more than one way to look at something.To some, what might appear as totally obnoxious, may appear to others as the funniest thing since Monty Python’s dead parrot sketch! This leads me nicely to my latest test drive…The 2007 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ 1500 4WD pickup, or as I like to call it…The 07 Silverado 4dr half-ton 4×4!My tester was loaded with a fine array of extras which bumped up the base price of around 46k, to slightly over 53k. That’s a fair chunk of change for a Chevy pickup, well isn’t it?This is where we get into the “different ways of looking at things”. Yes, if you’re looking for an out and out bare-bones workhorse, then 53k might seem a tad on the extravagant side. On the other hand, if you’ve been looking towards the purchase of a Cadillac Escalade EXT or the Lincoln equivalent, then the Chevy Silverado is an absolute bargain!With its restyled front end, the new Silverado certainly has the looks. In fact, over the week that I had it, this truck drew more attention than the Harley-Davidson Edition Ford that I had a few months back. Of course, this could be partially down to all the publicity it has received after being named North American Truck of the Year!The re-styled front end gives the truck a much more muscular presence, and the 07 Silverado sits nice and squarely on the road. My test vehicle was fitted with the optional 20 inch rims, which definitely added to the overall look.Personally, I much prefer the four door setup to that of the clamshell design. After all, when coming out of a store with a bag or two in hand, it is much easier to open a rear door first to load the back, than having to open both doors whilst struggling with your groceries. It also works so much better for passengers, with them having total control of their own doors.Once inside the vehicle, one can’t help but be impressed. The Silverado carries an interior which is equal to any “big buck” pickup available from GM, Ford, or anyone else. From the dashboard layout with the nice wood effect accents to the leather seating, the interior just screams high class”.It also has a very spacious feel to it, which is mainly due to the sculptured dashboard design.
