Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

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.

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.

    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.
