 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO STYLING | [7 out of 10] Jalopnik: “The elegant binnacle and console setup straddles the line between minimalism, and techie-modern.“ Edmunds: “Its new interior not only has a more modern design, it's comfortable and functional, too.” The Silverado was completely redesigned for 2007, and while the back end of the truck looks very familiar, the front end sports a completely new look. It shares elements—including the steeper windshield—with the full-size Tahoe SUV, but this time the Silverado takes a slightly different tack in front, including “vertically-stacked headlamp elements, heavily flared front fenders, and the largest Bowtie badge that we’ve ever seen on a Chevrolet ,” according to Autoblog.

Other Choices:

    The Silverado’s softer styling—especially inside—stands apart from its chief competitors, nearly all of which have more imposing, macho styling. The Silverado’s V-8 engines are more powerful yet also more economical than equivalent engines in the F-150, but the engine lineup is more powerful than for the light-duty F-150, and it's more fuel-efficient. The new Tundra includes more safety features than the others, along with more storage compartments and interior utility, while the Ram is sorely outdated, especially inside (it’s set to be replaced by an all-new 2009 truck).
