This is my 'new' baby, a 2006 silverado Z71 extended cab with the 5.3L. I bought it to tow my trailer since I have a small landscaping service, and obviously the trans am wouldn't do. When I bought it in January or Feb? I can't remember, it had 47,000 miles. Today, it already has 61,000 since I use it on a daily basis for work and for personal use. I'm hoping to get a beater truck for work next year to curb the mileage on this truck, because I really like it alot. The 06 Chevys really look cool, and once it isn't being used so much I want to put a four inch lift on it. My only modifications to this one are a flowmaster exhaust that exits on the passenger side, and deletion of the pin striping. Oh, and idk why, but the dealership swapped out the cooler silverado wheels for 07 avalanche wheels, I don't know why, but I wish they didn't.
