Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2006Change

Have driven this truck since new, great smooth ride.
Reliable for all heavy duty needs. Was my company truck for two years, (all highway driving). Purchased truck when I retired 5 years ago. Stored during winter months while we are south. All shop maintenance up to date. Will certify and price is negotiable. You won't be sorry if you buy this vehicle, many more years of good driving.

I liked the 2006, great on gas, lots of power. The truck came with 17" rims which makes ties cheaper to buy. Lots of room with the 4 doors, Easy to get kids in and out of car seats.

This is a surplus gov't vehicle that I bought based solely upon the shape it was in. The dispersal guy had no idea where it came from, or why it would be declared surplus. I had 3 clues. It was bought originally from the Paul Sadlon dealership in Barrie. It has one key fob that says 'ATC line truck' and a second that simply says 'Tower' truck. I phoned the base ops duty officer at CFB Borden (near Barrie), and she said it would have been the Air Traffic Control truck, driven by the Tower commander, used to get him from hangar to tower and to scout the runways. This accounts for the low mileage. She said daily fluid inspections are part of their duties, and her Silverado (a common DND choice, apparently) is in "all the time" for maintenance, so I was left with the impression that their trucks spend a lot of time in the shop because the mechanics have time on their hands. She was not surprised about the condition. I still don't know why it was declared surplus, but I did google DND protocols and the base commander has the authority to make that declaration. So, maybe he figured it was 8 years old, time for a new one, or maybe it simply timed out. It was definitely not because it was beat or something was wrong. I have driven it for a few hundred kilometres just to be sure. Their loss, my gain, possibly your gain. You won't find a better one.

Bought this truck in Burlington 4 years ago. Put approximately 70,000 km on it in 4 years. Never faltered, never in the shop. Brought it in after having it for a couple years for a tune up and a once over. Has not been in the shop since other than for regular oil and filter changes (always synthetic). Maintenance records available. 4 all-terrain tires about 1 year old. Occasionally pulled 5'x10' cargo trailer. Was in the body shop twice, once for grazing a concrete pier in a job site parking lot (passenger side of bed) and once for a deer which ran into the driver side door. Love this truck, simply downsizing to save gas money.

I've only been pleased with my time with this truck. Most reliable truck that I have owned. Which is why, when I needed another truck in the family, I bought another Silverado.

I bought a regular cab short box pickup and the sales goof told me that a V6 would be better on fuel than a V8 - WRONG! This truck is 4x4 so its way too much truck for that little 4.3L and therefore it works 10 times harder and burns twice the gas. It looks cool but its slow, gutless, and hard on fuel...and the worst part? I can't sell it for any kind of reasonale amount because no one wants an underpowered gas hog.

This is the best truck i have owned i am a roofer always pulling heavy loads this truck has the power stoping ability and looks overall amazing truck!

Great fuel economy for a truck, very reliable power and a very comfortable ride. I would reccomend this truck for anyone who doesn't want a giant truck but enjoys the power and reliability of a pick-up.

This is a reliable truck, that has lots of room on the interior. Very comfortable for long drives with the whole family.
