2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD Work Truck

This is GMC's heavy-duty pickup, the one you cross-shop with a Ford F-250 or Ram 2500 when you need real towing and payload capacity. It drives like a heavy-duty truck: the steering is a bit vague and the ride is firm when unloaded, but it tracks straight and feels planted with weight behind it. The cabin is straightforward and built to work, with durable materials and plenty of room for three adults across the bench seat. Watch for the usual issues on these trucks, like brake rotors that warp and a transfer case that can act up on 4WD models. A vinyl floor and manual windows set the Work Truck apart from the SLT, which adds carpet and power accessories. The 6.0L V8 paired with the automatic transmission and four-wheel drive gives this Work Truck a 9,900-pound towing capacity, enough for a large trailer or heavy equipment. This trim comes with the base suspension, so expect a stiffer ride when the bed is empty, but it handles a full payload without sagging.
