2006 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4 Dr Crew Cab 5.8 ft. SB

The 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Crew Cab stretches 230 inches long, but only carries a 5.8-foot pickup bed. This is because the extra space is devoted to the interior cabin, with 41 inches of front and 39 inches of rear legroom. The half-ton, rear-wheel drive pickup features four regular-sized doors. The front bucket seats and split-folding rear bench hold five passengers. A 295-hp, 5.3-liter single overhead cam V8 and 4-speed automatic average 16/20 mpg and can tow up to 10,100 pounds. Tow hooks come standard, with the option to add a trailer hitch. If you need more power, a 6.0-liter, 345-hp V8 is available.

Other than its larger cabin, the 2008 Sierra 1500 SLT Crew Cab offers the same standard equipment as the SLT Extended. It tacks on leather upholstery, heated front seats, power front seats with driver's memory, wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls for the CD changer/MP3 player, mirrors with turn signals and a reverse-tilt feature, and a trip computer to what you get on the SLE2. This includes full power features, remote entry, heated extendable mirrors, a security system, a front power outlet, tilt steering, intermittent wipers, and leather trim. Satellite radio, a sunroof, and automatic climate control are available extras, and the Crew Cab adds a DVD player to the options list.

Riding on 17-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires (20-inch alloys are optional), this pickup keeps safety features to a minimum. Standard equipment includes dual front airbags, a front stabilizer bar, and 4-wheel ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution. An adjustable suspension and locking rear differential can be added to the short and long arm front and solid live axle rear suspension. Over in the lighting department, you'll find an auto-dimming rearview mirror and side mirrors, automatic headlights, and foglights. OnStar, skid plates, and traction control are also available.
