2006 GMC Sierra 1500 consumer reviews

2006 Z51 4x4 off road extended cab bought new 8/2005. 139k miles in almost 19 years. Garage kept about 80%. Replaced front wheel bearings and heater core at 50-70k miles. Two sets of tires, one set shocks, one set front & rear brake pads. Oxygen, oil pressure sensors and lower driver seat cover at about 125k. No corrosion in a southern state. Paint and trim almost like new with regular maintenance. Mostly light road use sometimes loaded with heavy cargo and occasionally on terrain at the farm hauling trailers around on dirt trails. Good off road too. Best vehicle I've ever had and will never go out of style. When getting supplies, people at the co-op have asked what year it is and are amazed.

I bought a new 2006 1500 crew cab Z71 and it lasted 18 years. Great truck for the time it was built, extremely reliable. I don't think any new truck could be as reliable as this has been. It has over 180k miles, original engine, trans, exhaust and many other parts. I've only changed oil, brakes, radiator, alternator, starter, and power steering pump. The front hubs have been replaced a few times. Hubs are a common replacement item on these trucks. The 5.3l engine and 4l60 trans have been amazing. I've towed and hauled over the rated limit several times with no issues. Its a Northeast truck so rust is becoming a problem. I probably should have found a rust free 3500 instead of buying a new one.

u could take the engine out of this thing and throw it into the atlantic ocean, fish it out 30 years later, then fill the gas tank up with peanut butter and it would start right up. u cannot kill this truck. it will outlive you, your kids, and your grandkids.

I purchased my 2006 GMC Sierra new with 6 miles on the odometor and now I have over 300,000 miles and it still rides like a dream and cranks on the first try. Im anticipating on reaching the 500,000 mark. Great truck thanks GM!!!

I bought this truck with just over 100,000 on it at 142,000 in 2018, just miner wear and tear stuff , love the 5.3 power & it rides like a caddy ,after owning it for 5 years i am still in love with it . stealth grey, which actually looks blue. loving big blue in N.Y.

I bought this truck new in 2006 and driven it over 275 thousand miles .love this truck only problem I had was rotors keep warping so I bought slotted rotors problem solved.

The wife and I were in the process of moving and conicendentally at the same time our lease had to be returned. So my wife and I were in the market for a truck. We'll after looking at 7 or 8 used trucks they were all rusted out and interiors were trashed. Until we found a mom and pop dealer in the middle of no where I found my red sierra ext cab and I fell in love 0 rust high miles but drove like new and only had 1 owner bought it with 198k and now has 204k and still runs like new I love it deff recommend to anyone just stay away from the 2000 to 2005 silverados they have major issues

The upper ball joints are way too small for this size vehicle which makes it extremely dangerous. I have had one snap and my whole tire and hub assembly brakes everything went when I was on the highway at highway speed. It's a miracle I did not die, it almost caused the truck to roll and could have been a major accident. I was told that it was a freak accident and was extremely unheard-of but then the other side broke a year later luckily what's on the side streets doing 25 miles an hour. This is a major problem that should have been addressed by the manufacturer and there should have been a recall. I have been a chevy fan my entire life but after almost dying once just to have the same thing happened to me a year later from the same ridiculous issue that Chevy tried to save money on. I will never purchase another Chevrolet in my life

Just the type of vehicle I was looking for and in really great shape nice ride and lots of extras on vehicle more than would be expected

All routine maintenance has been done as recommended by owners manual. Rotors turned and brakes done last year. A/C evaporator coil failed last summer and was replaced.
