With 46 trims to choose, no one should ever complain that the 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD doesn't grant you freedom of choice. The key change comes in the new 6.6 L diesel-powered engine and 6 speed automatic transmission for 2006. The Silverado 2500HD also got some exterior updates.
Overall, the Silverado 2500HD offers 3 different powertrains: a base 6.0 L, 300 hp V8 with standard 5 speed manual transmission, an 8.1 L, 330 hp V8 with 6 speed automatic, and a 6.6 L, 360 hp V8 with 6 speed automatic. If you add trailer capabilities, you can tow up to 16000 lbs., but the Silverado 2500HD usually has standard towing capacity of up to 12000.
With its multitude of trims and powerful towing capacity, drivers show a lot of love for the 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. However, the mediocre build quality knock it down a notch. Balance out the positive with the negative and you'll like the power and functionality that the Silverado 2500HD has to offer.
What owners say

Oldie but and still great. Love this truck with the LBZ Duramax engine.
June 30, 2026excellent truck, fun to drive, 101500 miles, only thing other than routine maintenance right side wheel bearing replaced at 100000 miles. My favorite looking silverado to date. I had Kyle from www.crankitupdiesel.com install a 5 position tune and now on the 120 setting i get 24 mpg in the city up to 31 mpg on highway
April 7, 2010GM's lack of engineering/r&d on their steering systems - steering clunk and off-center steering wheel. You would assume alignment but its a weak idler and pitman arm along with a weak steering shaft. Passenger seat shakes like its going to fly out of the truck!! Other than that - Got to live the Duramax and Alli - Far from stock but GM gave me a good base to work with.

July 14, 2008Just a all around great truck gas or diesel. They run good, ride good, plenty of power, easier to work on and parts are usually cheaper
May 7, 20216.0 liter pulls our gooseneck horse trailer with no problem. Great transmission which does not change up and down while going up grades. Owned the truck for one year now and have had no maintenance issue. Good dependable truck and good to work with.
July 3, 2013With the Duramax Diesel this thing can pull 20,000lbs.Great Truck and works well. I have had no issues with it and use it as a daily driver. Solid Truck, very dependable. Have taken on some long distance trips and have found the gas mileage to be quite acceptable. Much better than my previous 2500 with the 7.4l Engine.
June 1, 2010The diesel is worth the money. The allison transmission is absolutely a tower's dream. Interior kinda cheap, but not bad. Air Conditioning works well. Front end somewhat weak. Looks great and runs as well. Really not much bad to say about it.
June 12, 2009I love this truck. This diesel rocketship has all the power you need. It can pull good too. It has yet to fail me and Im quite impressed with its tolerance for work. Thats what they are meant for - take note Dodge. I WILL buy another one. The ride quality is excellent too - just enough stiffness - not like you know who.
October 19, 2008It is my dads truck its very solid and dependable its got at duramax diesel engine and an allison transmition and 411 rear end gears. it looks almost exactly like the one in the picture except for a few minor details i will try to get some real pictures in here soon
May 28, 2008Drove this and new dodge and ford for work when I lived in Montana doing concrete...This truck by far was the best truck outta them all...the next truck and only that I plan on buying for that matter ever..
