Isn't it amazing that so few people actually review the vehicles out there to purchase. Buying on looks or the sell of the commercial that makes it look so good. I almost went the way of Toyota the new Tundra looking so beefy and strong, Glad I didn't. The interior was a disappointment, and didn't match GM's fine remodel. My '07 Silverado was purchased with a years worth of review and investigation prior to purchase and I couldn't be happier. I even went thru 3 dealerships wading thru the myriad of purchase decisions they had to offer. I went back to the original dealership to a friend that gave me the best advice from the get go. I'm currently (finally) decking out the truck with the add-ons that I want to customize the look of my truck. I'm checking out Stepbars and retractable bed covers. Does anyone have any suggestions in these two areas. I'm about ready to get the truck line-X'd. I tend to like the GM dealership stepbar, has a nice look but I am not sure of the longterm wear that it will endure (not sure if it is chrome overlay or actual polished steel) Any suggestions on owners that have specific models they like or dislike is appreciated.

U.S. automakers market share lowest ever By TOM KRISHER, AP Auto Writer Wed Aug 1, 7:07 PM ET DETROIT - The Detroit automakers' share of the U.S. market dropped below 50 percent in July for the first time in history, according to two analysts who track industry numbers. Jesse Toprak, senior analyst for the Edmunds.com automotive Web site, and Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting for J.D. Power and Associates, each said that foreign-based automakers took more than half the U.S. market for the first time, citing sales data released by the companies Wednesday. Autodata Corp., an industry sales tracking company, pegged the market share controlled by Chrysler Group, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. at 49.5 percent including foreign nameplates they own such as Saab, Volvo, Land Rover and Jaguar. Excluding the foreign nameplates, Detroit's market share drops to 48.1 percent, Autodata said. The market share drop came during a month in which all major automakers but Nissan Motor Co. saw sales declines. GM sales dropped 22.3 percent when compared to a strong July of 2006, while Ford declined 19.1 percent and Chrysler fell 8.4 percent. Even Toyota Motor Corp., which had been posting strong gains most of the year, reported a decline of 7.4 percent after a record-setting July of last year. |

| I have the Extang toneau cover that I like, I did buy the GM 3 inch step bars, 450.00, 2 pair of the molded mud guards and look nice for 50.00 a pair. I too am going to do Line X but in Lansing, MI is about 490.00. Bug deflector chrome 145.00, side window rain vents for 82.00. All GM parts, and if I am not mistaken would be covered under your bumper to bumper warranty. Please do not quote me on that, but if all done at dealership before you bought should be. Best of luck! | |

Replying to: lionclawz (Aug 01, 2007 6:31 pm) - Bedlocker Electric Tonneau Top w/ Explorer Rails - 4" Oval GM Chrome Steps - Line-X Bedliner - Cargo Management Toolbox & Divider After extensive research, I opted for the Bedlocker (Pace Edwards) as is required the least modifications to the body, and looked good. It is very expensive, about $1,500. The Chevy dealer will install the cover, and will have to remove the rear cargo management rail. I think for me, it will work well. Another buddy of mine has the same cover. It occupies about 11" of space at the back of the bed. Hope this helps. |

Just got my 2007 Sierra 1500 on Saturday. So far I am very pleased with the truck. I got the SLE1 but with the 5.3L AFM engine. After driving 3.5 hours home I averaged around 20 mpg on the highway. The AFM kicked in quite a bit and the average jumped to around 30 in certain conditions. I like the new interior. The radio is more flat and open so that both driver and passenger can choose radio stations. The seats are very comfortable and didn't hurt to sit in for such a long drive. I didn't like the fact that there was no "seek" funnction on the sttering wheel radio controls, just a favorites control. Overall pleased and I want to thank everyone on here as your reviews and helpfull hints and tips helped me in this purchase!

| I have a LTZ x/cab '07 Silverado and it has the favorites forward and back buttons, but it also has a seek button but it only goes forward. these are located on the steering wheel. he Seek button is right below the mute/Onstar function button nestled in the music favorite buttons on the right hand cluster. | |
