2006 GMC Sierra 1500 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners appreciate the 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 for its solid build quality, good performance, and spacious interior. They particularly enjoy its power and handling, with many mentioning a comfortable ride and a strong sound system. However, some drivers express concerns about a few issues, such as a clunky steering design and transmission troubles, with a couple noting disappointing fuel economy."
Looked nice. Plenty of front passenger space for a large adult. Easy to read gauges. Drove nice and rode nice. I got real world mpg of about 14. That is driving normal. Between 10 and 12 pulling a pontoon. Hwy was about 17 . If you have a large son like I do he will complain constantly about riding in the backseat of the extended cab. At around 50k miles the transmission started slipping and had to be replaced. GM has an ongoing problem with these transmissions but there is no recall. Also had rust issues. This truck was purchased new in middle TN and is not a northern truck where you might expect issues. I loved my truck but was very disappointed in it. It also had a 5.3 engine and did not have much get up and go compared to other friends trucks. I may have gotten a lemon but it really scared me off from other GM products. To be fair , I have a friend with a 2000 Chevy truck that is almost exactly the same and he has 140k on his and works it like a mule. His is a great truck and one of the reasons that I bought mine. He has had a few problems but nothing major.
September 30, 2013quicker then ford or dodge, no major repairs yet,very comfortable and luxurious interior, beats gas mileage on dodge, similar to ford. Wont drive anything else other then GM. Best truck out of north american and foriegn auto makers. Buy One!
September 23, 2009I love everything about this car! It has great power, performance and most of all, beauty to go along with the brains. If you are looking for a truck that can haul landscaping materials or a large family, this is the truck for you.

November 26, 2013Nice ride, and can handle a deer hit with minor damage.
April 5, 2008Great truck, have had very little issues with it.
July 6, 2023Good acceleration, good speed, not needed repairs in a while; It was tan with chrome door-handles, chrome gas tank cover, chrome EVERYWHERE! . Even though it had low gas mileage it was fun to drive around the nearby states and parishes.
March 19, 2010Truck is well built and a good value. I do not like the intermediate steering shaft design that clunks around and feels like you have bad ball joints due to the grease settling out in the shaft.
May 20, 2007I like everything about my truck, it's big enough for the whole family, looks amazing, is a blast to drive. Has a killer sound system that can be heard if you want to be. Just an overall good truck. Tony
April 30, 2014Its a good truck but has closer to 200,000 miles not the lower amount stated directly on here.
