2006 GMC Sierra 1500 - AWD Crew Cab
Pros: Interior
Cons: Wheels. Should have nicer wheels for price and type of truck.
Advice: Look around for mileage and condition of body. And of course price comparatively!
Great power, good throttle response, drives like new and very good quality ride. Brakes are sharp! SOunds good for stock exhaust. -
2008 GMC Sierra 1500 - SLT 4x2 Extended Cab 6' Box
Pros: Quiet car-like ride and handling.
Cons: Turning radius.
Advice: Choose the 5.3 liter V8 for best mileage.
This is my first pickup. Chose it over the Tundra because of ease of access and appearance of the interior. It has good mileage for a full-size pickup. I live in the country and average about 16.5 mpg overall. -
2006 GMC Sierra 1500 - SLT 4x4 Crew Cab
Pros: auto 4 wheel drive
Cons: gas guzzler
Advice: be prepared to spend $50 - $60 plus to fill the tank
I absolutely love this truck! It's a quiet, comfortable ride & it handles great through snow, rain & ice. It has so much room & a great stereo system. We've gotten up to 21MPG on the hwy a few times, but averaging about 18MPG. A little expensive to fill the tank at times, but I feel very safe while I'm driving. -

2006 GMC Sierra 1500 - SLT 4x4 Crew Cab
Pros: Comfort
Cons: Electrical problems
Advice: Buy something more reliable
I bought a 2006 GMC Sierra Crew Cab in June of 06. The truck only has 2500 miles on it and I am already having electrical problems. The right turn signal does not work, the cruise control went out, the heater doesn't work, and the ABS and parking brake light are constantly on. I have read several reviews stating these types of problems with the 06 Sierra. I just took it in to the dealer yesterday and am waiting for a diagnostic report. You would think that GMC's quality control standards would be a little more stringent when charging $35,000 for a truck. As much as I like the way the truck looks and performs, I wish I had purchased a truck from another manufacturer. -
