With a sticker price of $45,424 (including a $900 destination charge), our four-wheel-drive 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab LTZ was far from your basic pickup. Instead, it was trimmed out with all the goods you'd expect to find on a luxury car, including a touch-screen navigation system, a fold-down rear entertainment system, power-adjustable leather seats, and a Bose premium sound system. The dark blue metallic truck you see on these pages also featured a rear parking assist system, side-curtain airbags, 20-inch alloy wheels, a power sliding rear window, and XM satellite radio. To get a full test, we got in plenty of on- and off-road driving, with a final wrap up at the Hungry Valley recreational area north of Los Angeles.
