2006 Chevrolet Silverado HD Review
Silverado HD is largely unchanged for 2006, awaiting a redesigned version due in calendar 2007. These pickup trucks are the heavy-duty versions of the Silverado 1500. It comes in 3/4-ton 2500 and 1-ton 3500 versions and is intended for commercial use. Three cab types are available: regular cab, extended cab with rear-hinged back half-doors, and a crew cab with four full-size front-hinged doors. All can be ordered with front bucket seats or a 40/20/40 split bench. The extended and crew cab models include a three-person rear bench. The regular cab comes with an 8-foot bed. Extended- and crew-cab models comes with either an 8-foot bed or a 6.5-foot bed. Chassis-cab and chassis cutaway models are also offered.
Both Silverado HD models are available with rear-wheel drive or 4WD that should not be left engaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. An electronic-shift transfer case is standard on 4WD LT2 and LT3 models, optional on others. All models have standard dual dashboard airbags and antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. Side-curtain airbags are not offered.
Base engine is a 6.0-liter V8. Optional are an 8.1-liter V8 and 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8. The Duramax has been revised this year and offers 310 hp with manual transmission and 360 hp with automatic. The base engine teams with 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic with Tow/Haul mode. The two larger engines have a 6-speed manual or optional Allison automatic that's been given an extra gear for a total of six and offers Engine Grade Braking, an electronic feature that makes an automatic downshift when descending steep slopes.
Options include satellite radio, OnStar assistance system, a rear-seat entertainment system for Crew Cabs, and power-extending camper mirrors. For 2006, 2005HD models get grille and hood to match 3500 models, previously, 2500HD featured front-end styling that aped the 1500s. Silverado HD is similar to GMC Sierra HD.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Pickup Trucks are traditionally the vehicle of choice for heavy-duty hauling and towing. They offer an array of cab styles and bed lengths and usually feature powerful V8 or diesel engines. For personal use, consider light-duty 1/2-ton models. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider 3/4- or 1-ton models.
Our Best Buys include Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-Series, and GMC Sierra. Our Recommended picks are Dodge Ram, Nissan Titan, and Toyota Tundra.

News
Sources say redesigned versions of these Silverados (and comparable GMC Sierras) will appear as 2007 models, not '08s as earlier reported. However they're tagged, the big rigs will move to the basic "GMT900" large-truck architecture introduced with GM's 2007 full-size SUVs.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Adequate with base 6.0-liter V8, but 8.1-liter V8 and 6.6-liter turbodiesel are noticeably stronger. Six-speed manual transmission standard with 8.1 V8 and turbodiesel has 1st gear positioned in and down from normal pattern, leaving 2nd where 1st is normally located--which takes getting used to--though 1st is typically used only when hauling heavy loads.

Fuel Economy
On a test 2500 Crew Cab with the Duramax diesel and automatic we averaged 14.2 mpg in all city driving. A 3500 Crew Cab with same powertrain averaged 13.7. Expect 10 mpg or less with gas V8s. Chevrolet recommends regular-grade fuel for gas engines.

Ride Quality
Trucky, to be sure, with considerable bouncing with an empty bed, but not bruising over bumps. Perhaps the best ride among heavy-duty trucks.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Too big and ponderous to be sporty, but there's little body lean in turns. Brakes suffer a somewhat spongy feel, but stop the truck with little fanfare.

Too big and ponderous to be sporty, but there's little body lean in turns. Brakes suffer a somewhat spongy feel, but stop the truck with little fanfare.
Quietness
Wind and road noise are surprisingly subdued. Diesel engine noise intrudes only under full throttle, and newly available 6-speed automatic reduces engine noise at highway speeds.

Clear gauges, convenient controls--except for the wiper switch, which is awkwardly combined with the turn signal lever.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Plenty of room, with comfortable seats. Ample seat travel even in regular cabs. High step-up, so entry/exit a chore.

Room/Comfort (rear)
With sufficient leg space and a nicely reclined seatback, extended cabs adult-sized room and comfort, with true three-across seating. Crew cabs have even more space, rivaling Ford's version. In all, high step-up hinders entry/exit.

Value within Class
There's a lot to recommend these GM heavy-duty trucks, including strong engines, high hauling limits, comfortable rear-seat accommodations, and the availability of such features as a rear-seat entertainment system and GM's OnStar system. They are a Best Buy and should top the list of anyone shopping for a heavy-duty pickup.

Price note: SRW denotes single rear wheels; DRW denotes dual rear wheels.
Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.
