2007 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Crew Cab 4X4 - Car and Driver

Check these numbers: GM's full-size pickup, combining Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra models, is the top-selling vehicle in the U. S. , within rounding distance of a million units in a good year (which 2006 was not). And after an eight-year run of the previous version, this truck is all-new for 2007. Sixteen thousand salespeople are being trained to tell this story. Manual transmissions are history, stability control is standard on four-door models and available on extended cabs. The Silverado menu offers six different small-block V-8s slotted above the 4. 3-liter V-6 that's standard in regular and extended cabs. We grabbed a top-of-the-line 6. 0-liter four-wheel-drive four-door crew cab for this drive. Rated at 367 horsepower at 5500 rpm, the L76 V-8 has an iron block and aluminum heads, variable valve timing, and cylinder deactivation, allowing it to run on four cylinders in lightly loaded circumstances. The heavy-duty 4L70 four-speed automatic is the only transmission. MAX sprints to 60 in 7. 5 seconds, accompanied by a ferocious sucking sound from the tuned intake (two resonators bulge from the intake pipe). The brakes — four-wheel discs with ABS — stopped everything in 186 feet from 70 mph. Source: www.caranddriver.com
