After eight years of production, Silverado came on the market with a completely new generation in 2006 as a 2007 model.

It's true that Ford was still leading the pickup market and kept increasing its leading position, but that didn't mean that Chevrolet had to throw the towel. The second generation of the Silverado came on the market in 2007, trying to prove that it can do better than its predecessor. Unfortunately, the timing was bad due to the world economic crisis and the first few years were not good for the bow-tie brand and its parent company.

Like its predecessor, the Silverado was available in a few body versions, starting with a chassis-cab and going up to the big crew-cab version. The front fascia was the same for all of them, with a wide chromed horizontal slat in the middle of the grille for the LT trim levels, supporting the bow-tie badge. For the LTZ trim level, that bar and the bumper were in body color. The Extended Cab version featured a pair of doors at the front and sway doors in the back. The bed in the back was available in three sizes of 5.75' (1752 mm), 6.5' (1981 mm), and 8' (2438 mm) on three different wheelbases.

Inside, Chevrolet Silverado offered up to five seating positions, with enough room for the front occupants and decent sized for the rear ones. Like most of the pickup-trucks on the market, it offered a big dashboard, with a steering-column mounted gear-selector for the automatic transmission.

The manufacturer offered the Silverado with a choice of four engines paired as standard to a 4-speed automatic gearbox. It was available either as a 2WD or 4WD.
