My second post. . . Thought I'd introduce myself. I am the proud owner of a new Chevrolet pickup. . . I bought a 2007 Silverado Classic , grey mist metallic I think they call the color.

 

I was looking at the Colorado/Canyon 5cyl 4x4 crew cabs but found that I could buy a full size Silverado equipped exactly like I wanted for a good bit less money. Of course it never dawned on me that they had a new Silverado for 07 and the Classic was the same as the 06 until several days later. . . Still I'm very pleased with this new truck although that new one is sure purdy. . .

 

I wonder if the mechanicals aren't the same in the Classic as the new 07 model. . . I know my Classic has Rack and Pinion steering. . .new for 07 I'm told plus the 100K power-train warranty. . .

 

My new truck is equiped with;

4.3 V-6

4spd Auto

Plain AM/FM Radio

Windows, Locks, Cruise and Tilt

Upgraded Seats (40/20/40)

Z83 suspension 6200#

Deep Tint glass

Recovery Hooks

G80 Locker

3:23 Axle

Chrome Bumper and Grille

245/70/17 Tires (5)

 

I am pleased with the 4.3 performance. . My first 3 tanks of gas were all right at 20mpg with mostly city driving(60/40). My last new truck was a V-8 with less horsepower than this V-6. . . Had I rather have the V-8?? Certainly but for the dollar savings I got I'm more than pleased with what I got. . .

 

Getting long winded. . .

 

Anyway Hello gang. . .

No, they are the same "mechanicals" as a '99 model.

 

I know my Classic has Rack and Pinion steering. . .new for 07 I'm told

racks have been on the 2wd's for ages, at least '99 maybe even '96.
