Wasnt too fond of the earlier picks I saw of it. But I like these. I'll wait till I see one in person to make a true judgement on one though.

I like it too. I was hoping that it would look like the tahoes, but then again, that would make it look like the avalanches.

I only like the front; the rear looks weird; sides Ok.
When I saw the extended version only one thing came to mind: "Fly, little Silverado, fly!" (For real... )

It's alright, but I could never afford to put gas in it. I'll keep my 32 to 39 mpg.

I just prefer the beefiness that they used to have with the solid front. Better for offroading and alot easier to work on.

The interior in that picture is the work truck interior. It is only available in LS and some LT models (If I'm not mistaken), while the other LTs and LTZs come with the interior out of the Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche.
I love this truck.

Im sure ill be seeing a lot of those around here in Michigan in the next couple months, but then again if u were able to get the GM discount why not? Thats really the only way I would end up with a domestic car is if I was eligible for the GM discount.

My wife just bought an 06 cobalt the non SS kind for 13 out the door with the GM discount. I need to work for Honda or something lol

I hope they put some better thought into a hybrid.
And I'd like to see what the 2500 is going to look like.

^^ Good choice.
Is the 6.2 the detuned version? Or is it pumping out a little over 400hp, like the caddy?

It's detunded. 385 HP.. Lingenfelter will take care of that for me. I had them do the tune on my Trailblazer SS and picked up a little over 50hp to all the wheels with just tune alone. Got 16 HP to the wheels with their intake. The LS2 is big time held back from factory. I'm running 13.2's in a SUV. She sucks the ol' gas though.lol So more then likely I should be able to get a more HP then the Escalade. The one thing that I wish was that my SS got that 6 speed.

Nice, more beefier for sure. Interior of F-150 is by far better though.

You're dreaming..I was going to buy the 06 F150 Harley Davidson and it wasn't too bad interior wise but NO POWER. I also checked out a Lariat and a Lincoln LT and the interiors on them are garbage.

Glad to see that domestic car interiors are looking a heck of a lot better. Anyone know when chevy plans to release the SS version of the silverado? Will it still have the 364ci 6.0L?

That will be here in the Spring. It'll have the same drivetrain as the Denali. 6.2 6Speed Auto. I'm curious on what it will look like. I've been driving the new 07 Yukon Denali for the last week and the interior in it is beautiful. GM did very well on this SUV. They pretty much have to, these are their bread & butter vehicles. If these trucks don't take off I think GM is in A LOT of trouble. Plus this year the new Tundra is coming and it's an actual full size, so that may hinder some sales of the GM trucks.Maybe..The "domestic" truck guys are pretty loyal to their brands and "import" isn't in their vocabulary.lol

The 06 F-150 HD just has 300HP, whereas previous models had 340HP because of supercharger on the 5.4, so probably did seem weak. The Lincoln LT kinda looks gay in my opinion...


2006 comparison on interiors...

2006 F-150 FX4


2006 Dodge Ram MegaCab



2006 Silverado SS

If we are comparing SUVs then yes Denali let alone escalade have the nicest interiors...
