It's built on the GMT900 Platform....same platform as the '07 Tahoe, motors will be LS2 derivatives in several displacements (all I'm 100% sure on is 5.3, and 6.0)

I've seen several '07 Silverado test trucks here at the resort and I can tell you with confidence that the RC's DO NOT have those god-awful bedside bulges (the RC doesn't look half bad actually), I'm pretty sure that the Tahoe bumper will bolt onto the trucks as a couple I saw here had something that looked like the tahoe bumper on it. This is the first I've seen with the roof-racks on it and quite frankly they can remove them again IMO

The headlights kill me. Definitely don't like the stacked look....I really like the side-by-side ones that the SUV's and Av got.

it's popped.

Note: No, that isn’t unsightly panel gap in the first photo…the hood was indeed popped up just a bit.

It's popped. I like the truck! It's always a difficult transition from old to new. I'm sure the old guys were bitching about the C10 too. I have never liked four door crew cabs, so that particular truck isn't what I'd buy. I bet the thing would look pretty good in RCSB form. The normal non-Z71 would be lowered a bit too, lose the fenders to a degree, and maybe lose the stupid ricer lights up front. I like to have a little space between the headlights, but I can understand that doing it as a single unit probably keeps costs down...

I am not crazy about it. What is up with the front bumper. Almost looks like there is a piece missing. Kind of like there is some red fabric on it?

With little exception, it looks like everyone hates it. Someone should start a poll. I agree that change is tough. Though I don't think this one changed for the better. Remember when the Ford Taurus came out with those oval rear windows? Now they are back to normal. Toyota made a funky stepside that I am hoping has been taken out of production for the sake of mankind. I'm still not a fan of the '03+ frontends, but this '07 doesn't look like a chevy. They look like Caddy or Land Rover headlights. Some of the bulges look Dodge-ish.
