X31 with the GM 2inch Lift Kit makes your truck an AT4 from a suspension standpoint. The 2 inch GM kit you can buy from the dealer are the same exact parts installed at the factory. Thats what I did after exhausting efforts to find a 2022 AT4 with the 3.0 Duramax. I bought the SLT with the X31 had had the dealer install the kit. I did get a box full of the de-installed suspension parts so I essentially paid for some parts twice but I got what I wanted. I actually like the look of the SLT better than the AT4. The SLT is the old school look with lots of chrome. I like that better.

As always, great review Ben! I recently had the chance to check out the Sierra AT4. The sales guy said the Elevation was essentially the base model Sierra. Don’t know about that. Although the Ram 1500 Laramie is my top choice of 1/2 ton trucks, more and more I’m liking the Sierra. So many reviewers complain about the ‘outdated’ interior. I’m like, it’s a truck, get a grip!

@@yorkizetv5206 I wanted to order one but was told it would be a minimum of 4 MONTHS to get. I found one real close to what I wanted. I am missing the Pro trailering option. I don't get the camera views or the bigger lighted mirrors. The bigger mirrors are actually a blind spot and I'm glad I didn't get them. I still would've liked the extra camera views. I also wish I had auto dim mirror and memory seats. I am disappointed that you can't get a 10 way passenger front seat at this trim level. Not a fan of the black out look but it's growing on me. I didn't want the tailgate with speakers. I cannot imagine having a 4x4 without low range. Once upon a time it was that way but trucks were geared low and not the luxury ride they are now. Back a heavy trailer thru soft ground up a hill using low range and you still have a transmission when you're done. Hope you get yours in good time.

I have this exact truck except mine is Satin Steel Metallic and I have the 3.0 I6 Duramax w/10 speed. Average about 22-23mpg city in the winter with winter blend and about 25mpg in the summer. Best was a 270 mile round trip, 40 miles was dirt roads, averaged 29mpg. tank of DEF lasts about an oil change unless you're towing a lot. BTW, the Elevation is not the entry level. Its above the base and SLE trims making it the middle trim. Above the Elevation is the SLT, AT4, and then Denali. That silver around the dash is actually metal and not plastic which I thought was pretty cool. I test drove 3 RAMs before buying the GMC. RAM does have a more sophisticated design but GM focuses on functionality rather than aesthetics and I enjoy the more relaxed design as well as a real shifter. Nothing but issues with the infotainment system that was in my 2019 jeep I traded in and didn't want to risk the same issues on another new vehicle.
