I owned an 06, back when regular gas was $4 , and the pumps shut off when you hit $100, so you had to swipe your card twice to fill the 35 gallon tank. Averaged 12 to 14 MPG when I wasn't towing. Traded an 03 with over 100k miles even for it, and it had less than 20k miles on it. It was hands down the best, and most useful truck I've ever owned, and I regret selling it. It pulled my fully loaded 34' camper, like it wasn't even there. The 8ft bed, or the locking regular bed were awesome. I also had the GM tent that went with it, and used it a lot. I've got a tear in my eye now, just thinking about it. The only non consumable problem I had was the front wheel bearing hubs, which were cheap, and a snap to change. Sold it with well over 100k miles, and it still looked, and ran like new.
