When it comes to power, the 2006 2007 Chevy Silverado truck tackles all of the work, so you can enjoy the ride. With this in mind, every new and improved 2006 2007 2007 Chevrolet Silverado comes standard with engines that are more powerful than anything else on the road today. The standard Vortec 6000 V-8 SFI engine in Silverado 1500HD, 2500, 2500HD and 3500 models provides more power than the standard engine in Ford Super-Duty pickups. If that's not enough power for you, the available Vortec 8100 V-8 SFI engine in the Silverado 2500HD and 3500 models produces more torque than the V-8 and V-10 gas engines available from Ford and Dodge. Finally, when combined with available Allison transmission, the highly acclaimed available Duramax Diesel 6600 V-8 is designed to handle the toughest jobs.

What you can see clearly in any Silverado pictures is that every one of these trucks comes standard with exterior features including recovery hooks and dual power ports. What you can't see is that every S-10 truck comes standard with a Driver Information Center, 40/20/40 split-bench front seat, dual-zone climate control, and PASSlock theft-deterrent system. In terms of legroom, Extended Cab models have more rear-seat legroom than comparable Ford and Toyota pickups. And all 4x4 models also come with an Autotrac transfer case, which transfers between the rear and front wheels whenever rear-wheel slippage is detected. There are also a ton of Silverado accessories to improve upon the quality model you pick up from the dealer. Some of these Silverado accessories include hard tops, XM Radio, and towing packages.

Finally, every Silverado truck features the capability of a standard trailer-ready design. Trailering features of Silverado 2500HD and 3500 models include an available ZF six-speed transmission, heavy-duty trailering package, or an Allison 1000 Series five-speed automatic transmission - a GM segment exclusive. What's more, the locking rear differential on Silverado allows additional traction on snow, mud or ice. If one of the rear wheels has traction while the other one does not, the locking rear differential allows the wheel with traction to move the vehicle. Throw in daytime running lamps, crush zones, and driver and passenger-size airbags, and the Silverado might just be the safest tough truck on the road today.
