2006

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 sixpassenger 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.

IN THIS CASE, THE SEQUEL IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.
When the combination of the Duramax 6600 Diesel V8 and the Allison 1000 Series
automatic transmission was introduced, it revolutionized diesel power for heavy-duty fullsize pickups. For 2006, that powertrain combination is even better, thanks to the addition of
an extra transmission gear, 50 more horsepower and 45 lb.-ft. more torque. The upgraded
2006 Duramax 6600 Diesel V8 has been significantly revised to deliver lower emissions,
improved quietness, more power and a class-leading 650 lb.-ft. of torque.* The new
transmission is the first six-speed automatic in its class, and it incorporates such leadingedge features as tap-up/tap-down controls. What is unchanged in the 2500HD and 3500
is their awesome hauling capabilities, with GVWRs that go up to 5171 kg (11,400 lb.)
and GCWRs up to 10,660 kg (23,500 lb.). The most capable pickups in Chevy’s history.
And that’s saying a lot.
*Requires available Allison 6-speed automatic transmission. Based on 2005 Model Year data for GM Large Pickup segment and latest
published competitive information available at time of printing. Excludes other GM vehicles.

HYBRID
THE END OF IDLING.
Stop idling – the future is here right now. Introducing the first fullsize hybrid pickup in production: the Silverado 1500 Extended
Cab Hybrid. Instead of a conventional starter and alternator,
the parallel hybrid technology integrates a compact electric
motor/generator between the Vortec 5300 V8 gasoline-powered
engine and the automatic transmission. At low speeds while
braking, and when the truck is stopped, the gasoline engine stops
running. When the driver steps on the accelerator or releases the
brake pedal, the 42-volt battery pack provides power to instantly

and seamlessly restart the engine. And there’s no need to plug
in this truck. In fact, the only plugging in you’ll be doing is into
the truck’s 120-volt auxiliary power outlets that provide up to
2400 watts of AC current. Start thinking about the possibilities.

TECHNOLOGY
THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE:
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
You can refer to Chevy Silverado as an
ongoing process of evolution. Every year,
new engineering efforts and technical
advancements go into making the latest
edition of this revered truck the best

1 BRAKING SYSTEM
Silverado 1500 Series features standard
17-in. wheels,* permitting the use of large
rear drum brakes. They also improve brake
pedal feel and are easier to service than the
previous disc with drum-in-hat design.
*Except Hybrid and 1500HD models.

DYNAMIC REAR PROPORTIONING (DRP)
DRP allows for better use of the rear brakes
and for reduced front brake wear. It uses a
small computer chip that recognizes minute
changes in wheel speed and modulates
pressure applied to the rear brakes.

2 MODULAR FRAME DESIGN
Silverado frames feature a modular,
three-section design using materials
and processes that ensure each
component exceeds its specific
requirements. The mid-frame section
is rolled into a lipped C-section
providing more strength than a
traditional design without the weight
of a fully boxed frame. The stamped
C-section used in the rear of the
frame provides a combination of
strength and light weight.

3 AUTOMATIC
LOCKING REAR
DIFFERENTIAL
The available automatic
locking rear differential
provides added traction
at low speeds on snow,
mud and ice.

DRIVER INFORMATION CENTRE
This exclusive feature helps keep
you informed about numerous key
operating systems. It even lets
you know when your engine oil

ENGINE HOUR METER
The standard engine hour meter is
another industry exclusive. It logs the
number of hours your engine has been
in use, allowing you to monitor its
maintenance requirements accurately.

10 HYDROFORMED FRAME COMPONENTS
The front section of Silverado’s frame is strong, due to its use
of hydroformed steel – a first in full-size pickups. Hydroforming
reduces any stretching and subsequent weakening of the steel.
The result is a frame that is strong, yet lighter than the welded
boxed steel used in conventional frames. The added strength up
front helps the frame to better carry the weight of the powertrain
and suspension components.

4 AUTOTRAC 4X4 SYSTEM
The available Autotrac 4x4 system is so advanced, it controls
itself. In addition to the traditional 2HI, 4HI, Neutral and 4LO modes,
the Auto 4x4 setting, when engaged, senses wheelspin and
automatically transfers power between the front and rear wheels.
This full-size pickup truck exclusive system is available on Silverados
with GVWRs up to 3900 kg (8600 lb.).

5 HEAVY-DUTY
TRANSMISSIONS
The three heavy-duty engines
available on Silverado 2500HD
and 3500 models are matched
to heavy-duty manual or
automatic transmissions
designed for even the most
demanding applications.
TOW/HAUL MODE
Activating the Tow/Haul mode
selects a more aggressive
automatic transmission shift
pattern, to help compensate
for heavier loads. This system
is included with every
Silverado equipped with an
automatic transmission.

9 FRONT SUSPENSION
DESIGN
Silverado 2500HD and 3500
models have an independent
front suspension design,
incorporating durable torsion
bars and super strong control
arms. This design provides
substantial payload capacities
with excellent ride and handling
characteristics – making this
design yet another target for
imitation by the competition.

8 POWERFUL ENGINE CHOICES
Silverado offers eight powerful,
yet efficient Vortec gasoline
engines, plus two versions of
the turbocharged Duramax 6600
Diesel V8 that’s available on
2500HD and 3500 models.

6 PASSENGER SENSING
SYSTEM
In addition to the safety of the
dual-stage frontal air bags, a
Passenger Sensing System is
included on 1500 models.** It
automatically deactivates the
passenger-side frontal air bag
when a small child occupies
the seat.

7 CORROSION RESISTANCE
Two-sided galvanized steel
construction is used in all of
Silverado’s exterior body panels
(except the roof) to provide
extra corrosion resistance. Hot
wax is applied to the frame for
additional corrosion resistance.

**A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY: Always
use safety belts and proper child
restraints, even in vehicles equipped
with air bags. Even with the Passenger
Sensing System, children are safer
when properly secured in a rear seat.
Never place a rear-facing infant
restraint in the front seat of any
vehicle equipped with an active
frontal air bag. Refer to the vehicle
Owner’s Manual and child safety seat
instructions for more information.

Chevrolet is known for building vehicles that deliver excellent
value and dependability. One important aspect of Chevrolet
value is represented by the advanced safety, security and
convenience of OnStar.* OnStar uses advanced
communications technology to enhance your peace of mind
whenever you’re in your Chevrolet. All it takes is a single
push of the blue OnStar button usually located on the interior
rear-view mirror, in the overhead console, or near the radio
display – the button connects you with one of our specially
trained OnStar Advisors. They are standing by, ready to
provide support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What can OnStar Advisors do for you? They can provide a
wealth of information and perform a variety of services,
including a remote diagnostic check of your vehicle’s engine
and electrical components. In an emergency, an Advisor will
attempt to locate your vehicle, find out what assistance you
need, and notify nearby emergency service providers. And if
air bags are deployed in your vehicle, an Advisor will contact
you to determine if you are in need of assistance.
Another convenient feature is OnStar Hands-Free Calling, a
hands-free, voice-activated wireless technology integrated
into your vehicle. It’s there in case your hand-held phone is
lost, forgotten or has a low battery. Even better, there are
no additional monthly fees, or additional long distance and
roaming charges. And as a new customer, you will receive 30
complimentary minutes good for two months after activation.
Now you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with
knowing you’re doing all you can to help keep you, your
family, and your vehicle safe. Just ask the almost 150,000
people who have become OnStar subscribers in Canada.
How hard does OnStar work for you? The facts speak for
themselves: every month in Canada OnStar Advisors handle
an average of 9100 routing calls, 2500 emergency calls,
2600 door unlocks, and 625 Roadside Assistance dispatches.
OnStar offers two different service plans, allowing you to
select the services that are most convenient for you.The
Safe & Sound Plan is standard for the first year on Silverado
LT and available on LS, SS and Hybrid models. The available
Directions & Connections Plan offers all of the safety and
security services included in the Safe & Sound Plan, plus
you’ll have access to driving directions and information and
convenience services and RideAssist. See your dealer for
more information on plans and services.
*OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless
service, and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features
to function properly. Not all OnStar features are available on all vehicles.
OnStar Hands-Free Calling requires a Hands-Free Calling enabled vehicle,
existing OnStar service contract, and prepaid calling minutes, and is not
available in Alaska and some other markets. Calls may be made to the
U.S. and Canada only. OnStar voice recognition system may not work with
some voices. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service providers.
Subscription Service Agreement required. Due to the transition of the
wireless industry from analogue to digital technology, as of January 1, 2008,
OnStar plans to offer service only through equipment that operates on
the digital network, which may require the purchase of a system upgrade
for eligible vehicles. Call 1.888.4.ONSTAR (1.888.466.7827),
TTY 1.877.248.2080 or visit onstar.ca for OnStar’s Terms & Conditions,
Privacy Policy, and system limitations and details.

*Payload includes passengers, equipment and cargo. Higher payloads may require optional equipment. Payloads are approximate and will change with the addition of optional or aftermarket equipment. Consult your dealer or equipment supplier for details.
**Trailer ratings are calculated using an automatic transmission and assuming only the driver is in the tow vehicle. Trailer Weight (also called Trailer Towing Capacity) is the weight of a trailer, its load or contents plus any other weight added to the tow vehicle. Ball-hitch ratings are
shown for 1500 and 1500HD models. Fifth-wheel ratings are shown for 2500HD and 3500 models; ball-hitch ratings are 5443 kg (12,000 lb.). For details, ask your Sales Consultant for a copy of the Trailering with Chevy Trucks brochure. Many trailer towing applications require
additional optional equipment. †DRW Dual Rear Wheel.

COMMITMENT:

OTHER OWNERSHIP PRIVILEGES AND PROGRAMS: †

Rock solid trucks. Backed by a rock-solid commitment. There is nothing halfway about Chevrolet’s approach to building strong
and durable trucks. That can also be said of the way Chevrolet backs each and every truck that bears its name. A comprehensive
series of support programs makes it easier to purchase or lease a Chevy Truck and help protect you and your vehicle down the
road. A powerful example of the level of protection you can expect is the GM TOTAL™ Warranty. It is so thorough. It covers
everything from the roof right down to the tires. So when you drive off the lot of your Chevrolet dealership, you can do so with total
confidence. Peace of mind is knowing that your vehicle is built for the long haul, and is backed by a comprehensive warranty.

• Roadside Assistance – 24/7 service via toll-free number during your warranty period, anywhere in Canada or the United States
• Courtesy Transportation – may be offered during the warranty period
• GM Protection Plan (GMPP) – the only extended services contract backed by the resources and commitment of General Motors,
GMPP may be purchased at the time of your sale or lease, or subsequently
• GM Mobility Program – you may be eligible for reimbursement of up to $1000 (taxes included) for adaptive equipment for your
GM vehicle
• GM Accessories – personalize your vehicle with GM Accessories, specifically engineered for your new GM vehicle
• GM Goodwrench Service – with GM-certified technicians and GM-approved parts, nobody knows your GM vehicle better.

THE GM TOTAL™ WARRANTY:†
The GM TOTAL™ Warranty is your promise of total warranty protection. It covers every new Chevy Truck for 3 years or
60,000 km*. Complete vehicle repairs are covered,** including parts and labour, with no deductible. The warranty includes:
• 3-year/60,000 km* complete vehicle repair coverage
• 6-year/160,000 km* corrosion perforation coverage
• 8-year/130,000 km* coverage on catalytic converters and powertrain control modules (PCMs).
