LOVE my 07 classic!! One year before all the pickups turned into luxury sedans lol dropping in an lq4 very soon, great work/travel/project/off road/cruising truck it's my favorite truck of all time.
Phantom James thinking of getting one for my first truck! But they say the 07-13 are trash because GM went bankrupt and a lot of problems came with it!
@@devantejohnson8089 somewhat true, mine is an 07 classic so it falls into the old body style, 07 new body onwards when they started making them more beefy and wider looking you gotta watch out for oil leaks on the 4.8 & 5.3 engines, butt the previous gen is great
Thanks for the overview and review...I just bought the 06 Z71...Identical...I see you posted this in 2017 I hope all is well with you and yours...It's a different world from back then..:(...I just drove past a used car dealer and wanted it...It's almost impossible to find Chevy trucks from this year... UPDATE, 1 YR 3 MONTHS AND 17000 MILES LATER and she purrs like a kitten...Changed the oil, got a busted windshield, but; the AC and 4X4 worked AWESOME...no snow this year but two blizzards last year; 4 wheel auto is the STUFF! As a Contractor for over 30 years, I've owned MANY fords and too many Dodges.... By far; this is the best truck I've ever owned. The Cateye is the perfect truck!
Dustin T is it common to have a engine whine between 1st and 2nd? I watched your 2007-13 silverado sierra problems/complaints and you mentioned a clunky transmission so i guess its normal?
I'm seriously considering one of these next year. I can get one around here same model but RWD for $5-6,000 easily same generation. I just need a more full size vehicle than my Rav4 and the occassional times I would haul or tow every so often or if I got some sort of boat in the future which I plan on doing.
@@DustinT Yeah my Dad has a 06 Crew Cab Z71 with the 5.3 and I got to drive it to school the other day and man I want a Silverado now haha. That's what sparked me looking into trucks again .
My 99 ext cab 4x4 has over 280k on it. Trans went at 270k ish. Frame has been patched several times. Just picked up an 05 ext cab 4x4 the other day for 3k with 241k miles. No one wants these "high" mileage trucks. My 99 purrs like a kitten and I will still continue to drove it till it actually breaks in half. These ls based engines will out last pretty much everything short of a diesel. (well taken care if anyways)
Why does the A/C turn on with the auto climate control. I have a 2017 Silverado and it does the same. Is it not hard on it in the dead of winter?and when you go to turn off the A/C the auto light shuts off. Great chanel great content. Congrats on the new high country.
Thanks buddy! I do appreciate the comment, makes it worthwhile doing to hear that! I know what you mean about the A/C coming on. My understanding is that the compressor kicks on to keep it working even in winter months so it doesn’t seize come summer time from not operating. I believe there is a certain temperature that once it hits it will not kick on though (must be pretty cold, mine seems to run constant!)
My buddy works at a chevy dealer, they just got in a 2006 Silverado LT2 extended cab 5.3 2WD. They want 15k for it, it only has 32,000 miles. Should I go for it?
jus me i would nvr lol nvr a dealer too. i mean if u got the cash to pay in full if not never. ive seen a 4dr for under $4k with jus over 190k mi way beter if u ask me lol

One of these would be the perfect rig for you! Plenty of power and about as reliable as you can get. I love these year model trucks

I’m about to get this truck I just wanna know dose it take 93 octane or should it instead of 85

does the bose sound system come with the truck or did someone put it in?
Hey man, did that lift a noise ever clear up with that flush?
What is the black knob on the side of the overhead storage console on the left side any ideas
Man I have a similar Silverado and have yet to figure this out 🤔
@@mattrebacz that is the mic for onstar
Did you trade in your 06 on the new truck or did you sell it on your own!
Hey buddy! I sold this truck on my own. The dealership only offered me about 6k for it
Dustin T I don’t blame you I would have done the same thing

Does that Bluetooth transmeter have a plug for a mp3 player
What is the max tow capacity?
Does your truck have cruise control?
This truck does have cruise control
@@DustinT okay thank you!
My buddy works at a chevy dealer, they just got in a 2006 Silverado LT2 extended cab 5.3 2WD.
They want 15k for it, it only has 32,000 miles. Should I go for it?
That sounds like a pretty decent deal! You don’t see trucks with that low mileage, that’s a rare find
jus me i would nvr lol nvr a dealer too. i mean if u got the cash to pay in full if not never. ive seen a 4dr for under $4k with jus over 190k mi way beter if u ask me lol
how's your Transmission? Does it need replacing yet?
The transmission has been great so far
Was this a longbed?
My dad has the same truck but it’s a 05 and three kids ride in the back
Price please
Can I buy the truck

Me gusts cuanto male si la venden
How was the mpg?
Typically the dash showed around 15. That’s city and highway. I live in the Ozark mountains, so lots of up and downhill driving
