The second generation of the Chevrolet Silverado, produced by General Motors from 2006 to 2013, includes the GMC Sierra as a sister model under the GMC brand. This generation, known as the GMT900 series, debuted in late 2006 as a 2007 model. The vehicles in this line boasted several significant updates, including a revamped exterior, interior, frame, and suspension. Some engines also received power increases for enhanced performance.
Taking cues from the GMT900 SUV lineup of the same era, the Silverado and Sierra trucks incorporated styling elements familiar from previous generations of trucks and SUVs. Notably, the redesigned pickups showcased improved aerodynamics compared to their predecessors. This was achieved through features such as steeply raked windshields and tighter panel gaps, contributing to better fuel efficiency for drivers.
