BUIL T TO AN EVEN HIGHER ST ANDARD. The challenge: How to improve upon the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road?* The answer: Add a 6.0L 345 horsepower V ortecMAX V8 engine that produces 380 lb.-ft. of torque. Build the first full-size hybi rd pickup.

WE TURNED YOUR REQUIREMENTS INTO OUR SPECIFICA TIONS. It’ s a whole new ball game. No longer is a Crew Cab exclusively a utilitarian work truck. The Silverado 1 500 Crew Cab changed all that. It’ s the truck with a spacious and comfortable six- passenger cab. And easy access through four wide-opening, front-hinged full-size doors. And the driveability of a half-ton pickup. And for 2006, the new Cheyenne Edition makes the comfort of a Silverado Crew Cab even more affordable and still extremely powerful, with its standard 285 hp V ortec 4800 V8. No question: it’ s a different brand of Crew Cab altogether: the Silverado 1 500 Crew Cab. 05 63418_5c_2.qxd 8/12/05 6:11 AM Page 1[...]

17 IN THIS CASE, THE SEQUEL IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. When the combination of the Duramax 6600 Diesel V8 and the Allison 1000 Series automatic transmission was introduced, it revolutionized diesel power for heavy-duty full- size pickups. For 2006, that powertrain combination is even better , thanks to the addition of an extra transmission gear , 50 more horsepower and 45 lb.-ft. more torque. The upgraded 2006 Duramax 6600 Diesel V8 has been significantly revised to deliver lower emissions, improved quietness, more power and a class-leading 650 lb.-ft. of torque.* The new transmission is the first six-speed automatic in its class, and it incorporates such leading- edge features as tap[...]

THE POWER OF CHOICE. There’ s lots of news under the hood of Silverado for 2006. The new 345 hp V ortecMAX V8, the 360 hp Duramax 6600 Diesel V8 and the 310 hp High Output V ortec 5300 V8 lead the way . But what really separates Silverado’ s engine lineup isn’t only the incredible output of these engines, it’ s also the range. T en different engines. Built for a wide range of different applications, including towing, with capacities ranging up to 7575 kg (1 6,700 lb.).* Power alone is not the goal – it’ s finding the right characteristics to meet the specific demands of a given truck and the way you use it. Fortunately , with Silverado, that choice is left up to you. *For 3500 4x[...]

gmcanada.com TECHNOLOGY/ ONST AR SIL VERADO TECHNOLOGY 10 HYDROFORMED FRAME COMPONENTS The front section of Silverado’ s frame is strong, due to its use of hydroformed steel – a first in full-size pickups. Hydroforming reduces any stretching and subsequent weakening of the steel. The result is a frame that is strong, yet lighter than the welded boxed steel used in conventional frames. The added strength up front helps the frame to better carry the weight of the powertrain and suspension components. 1 BRAKING SYSTEM Silverado 1 500 Series features standard 1 7-in. wheels,* permitting the use of large rear drum brakes. They also improve brake pedal feel and are easier to service than the p[...]
