2007 Chevrolet Silverado HD

[tama z71]

the wheels on the 2500 are hideously small ... other than that, looks like a mean son of a bitch.

[Bazzy]

haha that thing looks ugly. The dualies look alright...

[scharmer05]

I can't beleive they didn't come up with some new, bigger wheel and tire packages for the new heaver duties, otherwise they look great. Still don't know what I think about the front bumper it really pops out at you, but at least it is metal i guess.

EDIT: It looks as if they put the Duramax emblem up on the hood rather than the door like they did on the GMC...I don't know what to think about it, just pointing it out.

Must be Super Duty Day. Ford's is out now too.

[Moriarty]

That large patch of exposed metal right beneath the headlights is an interesting styling idea. I kind of like it, though the jury will be out until I see one in person.

[Northstar]

I think the Sierra looks better, but this is better than the new F-Series Super Duty.

[Variance]

Man, the truck dwarfs the wheels so much, it's almost comical. It looks like the truck is rolling on 15s.

[FAPTurbo]

I like the GM better, but the Silvy still looks totally awesome. As for the wheels... well, what do you want? These bad boys are built to work... so I could care less about their wheels' size.

[RJB]

Small tires/wheels = better EPA gas mileage figures.

There is another reason for the itty bitty wheels. There has to be.

Do you know how expensive tires are? Fleet buyers do! oh and the engine badge on the hood is just like the old 6.5's had.

Because the HD's are primarily work trucks, not bling toys?

[Dsuupr]

The bumper corners look to big. They seem to throw the front end off, making the GMC the better looking of the two.

[Robert Hall]

The big bumper corners kind of remind me of the sides of a Roman helmet...kind of jaw protection.

[C.H.U.D.]

That front end is huge! Although the wheel sizes shown are justified, I would like to see what bigger wheels would look like.

[Derek77]

Wow! A bed full of rock and the suspension didn't give an inch. Photoshop?

The Ford does 18s, but also has smaller wheel options. Plus all this tine wheel combos do is make people go out and buy new, bigger wheels and tires for thier truck after they buy them, everyone around here does it. You hardly see an HD that has the stock wheels

[big blue]

The Sierra is the more classier of the two as others have noted so if you want something more traditional looking go for that. The Silverado on the other hand is bolder with the fender flares. The wide front chrome bumper reminds me of an athele's mouth guard. Kinda like the Chevy is saying "bring it on!" and is ready for the competition. Like a Rock indeed.

Also noticed a difference between the grill of the Silverado vs. its 1500 counter part. The increased space for the 2 black air intakes is slightly taller than the half-ton version and for some reason it's more pleasing to my eye than the slimmer slits on the HD's smaller brother.

Props to GM on the styling of both trucks, I like 'em both for what they are and I'm slightly inclined towards the Chevy(at least in photos) as it's nice to stand out in the crowd of the other HDs.

I think those front fender flares on the Chevy look a LOT better with the dually flares than they do without. Where the 1500 looked overdone and gaudy, the HD looks like a roman gladiator with a bad attitude.

I noticed the grille difference back when they released those ultra-zoom shots a while back, too. It helps the Chevy's looks BIG TIME. It doesn't look cross-eyed anymore.

Given the choice, I think I'd go with a Chevy at this point. The GMC just looks a little too Ford for my taste.

Load rating may also be another reason for the wheel/tire combinations. In order to get certain payload ratings, you need to have a load rating on the tires that can support that amount of weight.

My question is, why does GM still use a steel wheel with a "dog dish" like hub cap and not have factory polished wheels? Ford does, and dodge uses a full plastic/chrome hub on its wheels.

[Carguy]

They are some MEAN LOOKING TRUCKS!!----The way a truck SHOULD LOOK!!

[KaliRover]

they're kind of ugly... then again, they are work models, so it's fine.

[avro206]

Sorry but eh Chevy is gross.

For the first time ever the GMC wins here.

Get rid of those montrous rectangular steel pieces on each end of the bumper. It does not fit at all

[Cory Wolfe]

Oh... My... God... And I thought the Silverado couldn't get any uglier...

[big blue]

I love how polar the Chevy is making people. I'm not worried though, just means people are actually taking notice and care about the truck even in these times of MPG importance. So far its only been me and roadwarrior who have liked the Silvy over the GMC...

[sciguy_0504]

Something about it just isn't right. I think it's the front end because of the rest of the truck looks fine.

[chevyman62]

I think they both look great.....but I'm more of a Chevy Man and the GMC reminds me of a Ford and I wanna stay as far away from Ford as i can, so I'll pick the Silvy.

My dad has been thinking of getting a new Duramax Silverado Classic but as soon as I showed him this, he said "Wow, I like that.... paused....I'm waiting. "

This truck is so ugly it will make a Train take a Dirt Road.

I am not impressed, but since I am a chevy truck guy I will probably be driving one in a year or so.

You Chevy truck guys always said that a GMC is just a "Chevy with a fancier grille", so why not get the Sierra instead???

Hah that's a good point I never thought about.

[HarleyEarl]

There may have been other postings of this and I missed it. But I noticed in this photo, that there are fog lights in the lower part of the big chrome area of bumper. It seems to diminish the mass of this area a bit.

I really like that picture, looks mean as hell.

When has the GMC had a fancier grille then the Chevy? To me the GMC grille has always been just a over sized semi rectanguler circle, with a little bit of chrome along the outer edge. The Chevy has been the better looking truck forever. With the 03 and 04 being the only time that the GMC was better looking. (And even then, it was very close!)

If I were in the market for a new truck now, I'd be waiting until the new Chevy crewcab dually 4X4 came out, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That just may be the best looking vehicle to ever grace our presents.

Checkmate,

Totally agree. Looks like a proper, mean lookin' work truck. I even like the smaller wheels....and I'd definitely get the fog lights as an option.

[rosserman]

I think they are great looking trucks, both of them. I am part of the minority i guess because i think the chevy is the better of the two. the GMC is trying to look to "uptown" for me. HD trucks are for work, not style.

[Detroit-diesel]

Yeah time for a new truck. Anyone wanna buy my 99 duramax. I like the fact that chevy got smart and added the Z71 on all its trucks, so im guessing that you can go with the Goodyear AT-S's if you want and to think I almost ordered a 1500 VortecMAX Z71.
