2007 Chevy Silverado vs. Dodge Ram, Ford F-150, Nissan Titan, Toyota Tundra ... - Car and Driver
The four-door share of light-duty-pickup sales has zoomed from zero in 1999 to half of all light-duties sold today. These trucks, also called "half-tons," are full-sizers meant for ordinary use, everything from delivering refrigerators and towing bass boats to standing tall on Saturday night in the honky-tonk parking lot. After an eight-year run on the previous version, Chevy's new Silverado arrived last autumn just in time to host late-season tailgate parties. Ford has been the perennial top-seller in this class. Its current F-150 was all-new in 2004, and it earned a place in our 5Best Trucks pantheon in '04, '05, and '06.

The defending Titan SE reporting in for this test, at $39,005, is the only truck of the group to duck under 40 grand as tested.

The new Silverado offers two different interiors, what Chevy calls the "pure pickup" layout, with a 40/20/40 split-bench front seat, or the luxurious LTZ bucket-seat package shared with the Tahoe SUV.
