The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD WT for 2006: Improving on 2005
One of the staples of the Crew Cab Pickup segment is the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. In the previous model year released a brand new version of the Silverado 2500 HD with three versions: WT, LS, and LT. Sales for the Silverado 2500 HD, especially the Silverado 2500 HD WT, were brisk during 2006 and 2007. The improved vehicle quality and the classic styling were responsible for the sales boost.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Engine Specs
The Silverado 2500 HD WT is equipped with a General Motors 6.0 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a Allison 5-speed Transmission. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Crew Cab Pickup arena.
For the 2006 Silverado 2500 HD, the fuel delivery system is a electronic SFI, using gasoline for fuel. A fuel-injected MFI configuration. The gas tank holds 26.00 gallons.
The Silverado 2500 HD uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses coil and leaf springs front and rear respectively.
Vehicle Statistics
The Silverado 2500 HD is 239.70 inches long, 79.70 inches wide, and 77.00 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 153.00 inches. It is able to seat 6 comfortably.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $27,905 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $25,533. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Crew Cab Pickup.
There is a 36,000 mile, 36 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 36,000/36 miles/months. This is normal for this price range.
Fuel Efficiency
The 2006 Silverado 2500 HD gets 23 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city. This is exceptional for a crew cab pickup truck.
Conclusion
The 2005 model began the promise of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. The 2006 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the Silverado 2500 HD WT will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
I saw the recent news about Chevrolets and their reliability. I personally would check out web sites like edmunds.com and others before I made a choice of a truck like the Silverado 2500 HD.
