2006 Chevrolet Silverado

2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4x4 Long Bed Pickup

For consignment, not your average 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Sure, it has low mileage with a title verified 49,383 actual miles. It has the 8.1-liter Vortec V8. But what makes it a stand out is that it was custom ordered and is an RPO verified one of one in special order Dark Toreador Red. So, while all the normal 3500 attributes make it a great truck, the paint makes it special.

Exterior
There it is! The burgundy hued Dark Toreador Red. A toreador is essentially a matador, who waves his red cape to prompt an attack from a bull. And while Toreador Red was in the GM paint room, it was never used on a Silverado, until this one. And that\'s no bull! The truck itself sits high with chrome bumpers and a matching SNUGTop cap on the bed. 16-inch chrome wheels carry LT285/75R16 tires and along with the factory ride height, create a massive go anywhere stance. Extra large side mirrors are housed in black, and a tow hitch is out back for pulling your race car, backhoe, camper, or virtually anything else that weighs 9,800 pounds or less. Overall, the exterior is in immaculate condition and we could not find any notable flaws or blemishes. The tailgate shows some use as do the sidewalls and bed which is covered in a fitted rubber mat.

Interior
Ebony molded plastic door panels have rounded edges, plastic buttons, and large speaker panels. Step up to the cab and we find grey cloth bucket seats, well cushioned and soft and in line with the truck\'s proportions, large! The fold down storage bin/armrest also serves as the seat back for a third occupant who will have to straddle the transmission hump if they\'re any taller than Danny DeVito. A standard leather wrapped steering wheel leads to a well organized gauge cluster and a column mounted shifter. The electronic range selector is to the left of the wheel and with the push of a button, you can go into 4 low or a number of other options. The days of getting out and locking hubs by hand are over! The center stack has an AM/FM/CD radio and climate controls. Ample leg room in the footwells is covered in low pile gray carpet in perfect condition while the grey fleece like headliner looks great and features an overhead console with lights and a storage bin.

Drivetrain
The 3500 is equipped with an 8.1 liter Vortec V8 rated at 330 horsepower. It\'s fuel injected and tied to an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission. 4.10 gears are in the front and rear axle with the rear being limited slip. Power disc brakes halt big red at all four wheels.

Undercarriage
Generally clean underneath with the typical surface rust on untreated metal surfaces. CV boots appear to be intact, and bushings look good. The single exhaust snakes its way under the truck, encounters the original muffler, then exits via a large tailpipe behind the rear wheel. Torsion bar suspension is found in the front\'s independent configuration while leaf springs are mounted in the back.

Drive-Ability
Who doesn\'t love a big truck with big power? We climb in and rise above all as we crank the 8.1 to life. With a few revolutions of the big wheels, we\'re out on the test loop and rolling on knobby all terrain tires that are more than capable on our flat terrain.

A well maintained, low mileage truck from 2006 is all we expect. Plenty of power and torque on hand and all functions work from our control deck in the comfortable cab.If you\'re looking for a 3500 but want something just a little bit different, consider this 1 of 1 colored Silverado as an option. It will not only provide all the workload capacity you need but give you bragging rights in the break room. Beyond that, it\'s a clean, low mileage truck that is a versatile piece of transportation. Step into the bullring and give this one a wave!
