Is the 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 a good truck?

Transmission is smooth and brakes are responsive. I like the hood design for 2006 which is very rare. 21 mpg on the highway is a plus and access to the motor is easy. Was this review helpful? (18) (0) I owned my 2006 for 7 years before trading off for a newer GMC truck.

When did the Chevy Silverado 1500 come out?

Thanks For Signing Up! A hybrid-powertrain version of the Chevrolet Silverado full-size pickup truck became available to retail customers in select states in the 2005 model year and goes on sale nationally for 2006.

What kind of cab does a Silverado 1500 have?

A two-wheel-drive SS joined the four-wheel-drive version in mid-2005. Offered in Work, base, LS and LT trim levels, the Silverado 1500 comes in four variations in addition to the Crew Cab: regular cab or extended cab, with either a 6.5- or an 8-foot cargo bed. A new extended-cab short-bed model is available for 2006.

What kind of body style does a Silverado 1500 have?

Like the 1500 and 1500HD series, 2500HD models get a fresh front-end look for 2006. These heavy-duty three-quarter-ton 2500HD pickups come in three body styles: regular cab, four-door extended cab and four-door Crew Cab. They also come in plain chassis-cab form, which lacks a cargo box.

What kind of rating does a Chevy Silverado get?

In government crash tests, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 received four stars (out of five) for driver protection in frontal impacts and three stars for the front passenger. The 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is comfortable enough to be a daily driver, yet it’s still powerful enough to use as a dedicated work truck.
