One look and one can see the difference a complete redesign makes: more pronounced fender blisters front and back, a new grille and headlight casings that make the Silverado more muscular. Gone is the Chevy face up front, replaced by a more chiseled front assembly that looks as if it’s been carved into the truck. To be sure, the 2007 model exhibits more flair than the ’06 version; even the greenhouse has been caressed for a more modern look. The most significant changes made, however, are harder to detect but speak of GM’s renewed mandate of quality construction: exterior gaps on the new model, especially between the cab and the bed, have been significantly reduced, and the hood now fits flush inside the fenders instead of capping fender and grille.
