2006 GMC Sierra 1500 SL1 2 Dr Regular Cab 8 ft. LB

If you need lots of cargo space, the 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 SL1 Regular Cab 4WD LB features an 8-foot cargo bed, about 1.5 feet longer than the standard bed. The Regular Cab features two doors opening onto a front-row bench that seats three, though optional bucket seats are available. This rear-wheel-drive pickup gets its power from a 195-hp, 4.3-liter V6 that gets 260 ft-lbs of torque at 2,800 RPM. A 5.3-liter V8, in regular or flex fuel form, is optional. Both engines comes standard with a 4-speed automatic, with the option to add a 5-speed manual transmission. Standard wheels are 17 inches, holding all-season tires.

With a dismal four and three stars in crash tests, the 2006 Sierra 1500 SL1 Regular Cab LB lacks standard side curtain airbags and stability control, even as options. Dual front airbags, 4-wheel ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, and a front stabilizer bar are standard, along with automatic headlights and daytime running lights. Traction control, skid plates, and a locking rear differential can be added. Comfort features include a CD player, cruise control, intermittent wipers, a front power outlet, tilt and power steering, and a tachometer. Options add power windows, locks, and mirrors, a sliding rear window, extendable mirrors for easier rearview vision, and remote entry. If vinyl is too sticky in the summer, cloth seats are also available.
