The Silverado is Chevrolet's full-size, light-duty pickup truck. It was completely redesigned for 2007, and changes for 2008 are relatively minor. Like most of the other full-size pickup models, such as the Ford F-150, Dodge Ram, and Toyota Tundra, the Silverado is available in a wide range of models--including three different cab styles, and two different interior designs--to suit the needs of everyone from contractors and farmers to style-conscious commuters who need towing or hauling ability for the weekend.
