The Chevy is better, already is proven to get 20+mpg, highly improved interior and overall quality, BIGGER ENGINE, and better looking. Last year Toyota had the most recalls, but the media "failed" to notice since millions would stand against them because of thier reputation. These days reputation is nothing, technology advances so fast it cant keep up. For ex: three years ago GM was one of the worst companies, now they have the most top-rated vehicles, and the quality/reliability surpasses Toyota. Honda is still on top of the reliability ratings. Ford also had more recalls than GM and DaimlerChrysler combined, for reasons like exploding engines and wheels falling off. Here is a quote from the Washington Posts review of the Toyota CAmry "one of which is the Chevrolet Malibu, which in my real-world driving experience has been every bit as good and reliable as the much-ballyhooed Camry but has been maligned primarily because it is a Chevrolet". Oddly enough that was an '04 Malibu VS the totally redisigned '07 Camry. Tim magazine also said "GM has made huge leaps in quality". Common problems with Toyotas are plastic rattling until it falls off. People then complain that when they take it to the dealer to be fixed they just say "The cars are made with so much plastic its practically impossible to fix" GM is also the worlds fastest growing manufacturer, and that dosent happen by accident.

It will be hard to say, because there are **brand new** designs coming out for both trucks.
Toyota has legendary reliability. Of course, with an all-new design, it is possible (but probably not very likely considering reliability history) to have new problems. Toyota has had a few more recalls over the last year than previous years, but that's not at all to imply anything meaningfully negative.
Cheverolet has been swimming in red ink, but I think they are turning it around. In the 1980s, Chevy reliability was down. Try to find a 4wd Chevy truck with 4-speed automatic that hasn't needed a replacement (been there). However, quality and performance has been **STEADILY** increasing since that time. I have yet to have a major repair on my Chevys from the 2000+ model years, but I drive them very carefully and go easy on them.
The NEW for 2007 Silverado/Sierra trucks look FANTASTIC. They are available with some fantastic engines. The interiors are light years ahead of my last-gen Chevy truck. Quality remains to be seen - it's a brand new vehicle.
Fuel economy may be a slight edge for Toyota, because it always has been. However, BE REALISTIC - the diffrence will not be great, will depend more on your driving habits, and if you're really interested in fuel economy then don't buy a truck. Simple as that - get a Corolla or Yaris.

As Far as the 2007 goes Im no expert but I can tell you I have owned both a 2005 chevy silverado and a 2006 toyota tundra and the Toyota is by far and away a better truck to own. The ride is night and day smoother and the truck itself is built to alot higher standard of quality. I would definately say you need to test drive both probably more then just one time and compare. Unfortunately the Toyota has a much bigger price tag but trust me it's worth every penny.

I would have to say Toyota because I once ordered a Chevy Silverado, factory direct, and it was a piece of junk. It was a '96 X-cab 3/4 ton with all the bells and whistles. The oil pan FELL OUT from underneath it about 2 miles from the dealership when I took delivery. It had 5 miles on it at that time... the dealership said they "fixed" it and for months refused to replace it. At one point, the service manager even told me, "Chevy's burn oil for the first 50,000 miles." NEVER AGAIN. I drive a Dodge now. I hear Toyota is a decent truck, though.

The 07 Tundra is a full size truck and WILL be awesome when released. Ive always been a Ford man and recently Bought my fiance a Lexus(made by Toyota). Im now stuck on them.I Believe this new full size Tundra coming out will whip the gasser truck competition. The Tundra is supposed to be close to 375hp and get 20mpg. Reliability shouldnt even be a question, you already know the answer to this question. Matter of fact I will be getting one myself.

The tundra is better. One of the reasons why it is better is look where they are built( chevy is built in Mexico and the toyota is built in Ohio)Now which one is foreign lol.
