BUILT TO AN EVEN HIGHER STANDARD.
The challenge: How to improve upon the most dependable,
longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road?* The answer:
Add a 6.0L 345 horsepower VortecMAX V8 engine that
produces 380 lb.-ft. of torque. Build the first full-size hybird
pickup. With another first in its class – the enhanced
available Allison 1000 series six-speed automatic transmission
that’s mated with either the upgraded-for-2006 Duramax
6600 Diesel V8, now boasting up to 650 lb.-ft. of torque, or
Vortec 8100 V8 engines. With a new, boldly styled power
dome hood line on the 1500 Series. In short – the 2006
family of Chevy Silverado pickups are built on a rock-solid
foundation, which was used to set an even higher standard
for full-size pickups today – and down the road. Chevrolet.
For All Life’s Roads.
*Dependability based on longevity; 1981-July 2004 full-size light-duty pickup registrations,
including chassis cabs. Excludes other GM divisions.

WE TURNED YOUR REQUIREMENTS
INTO OUR SPECIFICATIONS.
It’s a whole new ball game. No longer is a Crew Cab exclusively
a utilitarian work truck. The Silverado 1500 Crew Cab changed
all that. It’s the truck with a spacious and comfortable six-
passenger cab. And easy access through four wide-opening,
front-hinged full-size doors. And the driveability of a half-ton
pickup. And for 2006, the new Cheyenne Edition makes the
comfort of a Silverado Crew Cab even more affordable and still
extremely powerful, with its standard 285 hp Vortec 4800 V8.
No question: it’s a different brand of Crew Cab altogether: the
Silverado 1500 Crew Cab.

BETTER KNOWN AS THE FAMILY CAB.
The most rugged family-oriented vehicles on the road today just
happen to be pickups: the Silverado 1500 Crew Cab and its
heavy-duty sibling, the 1500HD with the 6 ft. 6 in. box and the
300 horsepower Vortec 6000 V8. These are two trucks with
serious hauling capabilities on top of six-passenger seating.
And the ability to be so much more, thanks to the added luxury
of the available heated front bucket seats with leather inserts.
Add the enjoyment provided by the available rear DVD
entertainment system and you have fun for the whole family.
The 1500 and 1500 HD Crew Cabs.

NO MATTER WHICH PACKAGE YOU CHOOSE,
IT ONLY COMES IN EXTRA STRENGTH.
Strength – it defines Silverado. At the foundation of every
Silverado is a three-piece modular frame that delivers an
outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, thanks to its use of
a hydroformed-steel front section. But with Silverado
Extended Cab, that’s only the starting point. Then choose the
configuration, model, powertrain and trim level that best fits
your priorities. For 2006, you get even more choice, with
a new available 5 ft. 8 in. short box and a new, available
Performance Edition that features the 345 horsepower 6.0L
VortecMAX V8 engine and beefy 20-in. wheels. All built with
the strength and dependability that Chevy’s famous for.

A WARM WELCOME AWAITS YOU.
Step inside the Silverado 1500 Extended Cab and you’ll immediately
notice that this supremely capable pickup is also tremendously
well appointed. That point is really driven home by the advanced
comfort of the LT’s standard heated front bucket seats with
8-way power adjusters. But no matter which model you choose,
dual-zone climate controls are standard. As is the fold-down
storage armrest on LS models, in addition to the mini overhead
console that’s standard on LS and LT. Getting warmer in your
