Introduction

Think of the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic as a completely restored vintage truck. Or perhaps it's more like the discovery of a brand-new vehicle sitting in an old, abandoned warehouse.

Chevy Truck introduced an all-new line of Silverado pickups for 2007 and we love them. They just may be the best pickups on the market today.

At the same time, GM continued to churn out the old version, calling it the Silverado Classic. That's what you're looking at here. The 2007 Silverado Classic is exactly the same truck as the 2006 Silverado, which was essentially the same as the 2005, 2004, and 2003 models.

These previous-generation trucks are sold on the basis of price. The 2007 Silverado Classic models retail for about $2,000 less than the newer generation models. And that's not counting rebates and incentives.

The newer generation Silverado is vastly superior to the outgoing Classic by every measure and it will almost certainly hold its value better.

Still, the Silverado Classic is a solid truck. It certainly beats a used truck. It may be the most truck you can get for the money. And it's an especially good deal if you're buying it for someone else, such as an employee, to drive.

It rides well and handles well. It's quick and it's comfortable. Boxed and hydroformed frame rails give it a strong, rigid platform, like a rock, as its ads used to say. Heated leather seats, XM Satellite Radio and other options make long days spent in a Silverado Classic comfortable. And anyone who values a low load height should compare a two-wheel-drive Silverado Classic to the other full-size pickups; lifting heavy equipment into the back of high-riding trucks is hard on the back.

Besides servicing countless motorists in Michigan -- commuters, soccer moms, NASCAR dads, Woodward Dream Cruisers -- Belle Tire operates a hefty commercial truck service. It is Michigan's largest truck tire provider and operates five truck tire re-treading plants: three in Michigan and two in Ohio. Belle Tire also runs commercial warehouses in Cleveland and Allen Park.

"We serve a lot of truck fleets in Michigan," Kruse says. "Many of the trucks you see driving up and down the highway have tires we put on them."

Despite the changes over the years customers can still drive to a Belle Tire store and an hour later, drive away on four new tires. In that hour, they receive courteous service, and wait comfortably, knowing that their car is being serviced by experts.

"Some companies toot their horn about getting tires on in under half an hour, but it's not a race," Kruse says. "Cars require care and caution nowadays, and the customer's expectation is that we'll do a great job as quickly as possible."

Belle Tire is ISO registered, meaning it has met quality standards established by the International Organization for Standardization.
