2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation | The Best Sierra Under $60k?

In this video we take a walkaround tour of the 2023 GMC Sierra Elevation 4x4 in the Onyx Black exterior with the Black cloth interior. The GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado were just refreshed for the second half of the 2022MY, so changes are very small for 2023. The Elevation trim sits in the middle of the trim lineup, so it's more affordable than others. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Hope the auto industry takes a big hit. The increase over the past two years has been ludicrous

[@Josh-179]

Not the auto industry's fault. Blame... - China for the China Virus (step one) - Governments around the world shutting half the world down for nothing creating all the supply chain issues. - Government printing trillions of dollars out of thin air to pay people to stay home and produce nothing. There's your inflation and expensive vehicles.

Elevation trim no business being anywhere near $60k

[@24james]

Try and find one UNDER $60. And they’re worth it💯

right! I just paid 48 and it had really nice leather seats

[@TheGregh1977]

​@@chadgeetter308what was the MSRP?

[@paugie40]

I have a 20 sierra with blind spot warning, cross traffic alert and this truck is 7k more than i paid. They can keep the onstar subscription!

Forget the black one, get me the BLUE ONE

[@pillcosby3949]

This truck was in the low 4’s less than 2 years ago, no wonder the auto industry saw a massive decline in sales last year. Price gouge

[@251Trioxin]

Yup … I got mine at 65

[@KumarKush69]

@@251Trioxinthey got you haha How much you paying monthly

[@benjaminhollar7462]

Does the elevation come with adaptive cruise control where the truck will come to a complete stop and then start in stop and go traffic?

[@KuroSkyy]

was willing to spend 60 and be happy but that only gets me a base elevation with no blindspot I wanted.

[@tanyacool2812]

No blind spot detection? Seems like a standard feature since 2016 on most vehicles

[@josht5453]

Just bought mine. But mine has a bed liner, the bucket seats instead of the bench, leather seats, and a V8 and it was $60,000, only $2k more than the MSRP on this one.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Congrats!

[@GenerationOldschoolEspañol]

I just bought this truck, 2024 GMC sierra 1500 SLT. Is not the complete blackout edition, but is black with chrome. I’ll be doing a chrome delete.

[@kevinmenjivar3111]

I’m on the fence. The elevation is an amazing truck but I’m also looking at the big horn nightshade edition. I hate the rotary gear shift.

[@davidzambrano9126]

Crazy how GMC now is becoming value leader. 60k Ford doesn't get you as many features. Debating on keeping my Tremor order and just getting an Elevation with a v8

[@CarsMadeSimple]

The Elevation is nice mid trim for sure that you can spec how you want!

[@TheSaintberzerker]

I see on the window stickers that GM brought back the horrid AFM on the 5.3 2023's? Say it ain't so! 2022 is the year to get a v8 apparently if you don't want your lifters to explode. Great video. Very well done Sir.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thank you! Yes, I have seen most AFM/DFM returning on trucks for the V8's in the 2023MY.

[@97clubcar]

So the 5.3 has a lifter problem

[@danieldevries3230]

Wireless charging?

[@eg6832]

Looks nice for maybe 5k just waiting for the RV !!! 😳🤔

[@jakegardner9291]

column shifter classic

[@varunsharma9562]

How to lay down middle seat...?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

There is a pull tab on the side of the console to lay the armrest down.

[@TheRealSandorClegane]

Going to get it with the baby duramax, can’t wait

[@CarsMadeSimple]

It's a solid choice!

[@NinjiaJoeLife]

Just wonder only sierra elevation has 6 seats? how about AT4

[@maxrodriguez5231]

Definitely the best looking truck out there but a lil disappointing for the price

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I agree that it's one of the best looking!

[@jacobthralow9991]

Love the truck but I’m not sure they’re worth 65+

[@wc.hebert2351]

Honestly…. You can get a decked out 4x4 2023 tundra SR5 TRD off-road for the same price. More features, nicer interior, more power/towing capacity, etc… this is a good looking truck though

[@CarsMadeSimple]

You are correct as that truck looks to come in right around $58-59k depending on how you option it.

[@saiyanwarrior828]

VOLume VVVVOOOOLLLLLLumeeee lol

Nothing like a big block 4 cylinder to get the job done 🙄

I got this truck with a 5.3 L V8 engine at 60k

[@reginaldgriffin582]

60k and basically all you have is a full size 4cyl truck. Ain't no way in hell that makes any sense

[@ManilaSlim]

NO sir, they have a 5.3LV8 for 60k. this make sense

[@emorse912]

55k for a 4cy!?!?!? 😆 🤣 😂

[@pillcosby3949]

Exactly dude, screw the auto industry

[@KumarKush69]

People are paying the same for a turbo sedan haha Jokes on your mother too

[@Flannelsinxaiy]

No 4 low

[@BegForMyMercy]

SLT doesn't even cost $60k...

[@CarsMadeSimple]

The SLT starts at $60,845 including destination. This is $2,750 more than the Elevation with the 2.7L Turbo or $395 less than the Elevation with the 5.3L V8.

[@Travislitxxz]

Do not buy trucks this year. This will force dealers to decrease prices

Beautiful truck. Not worth the money.

It’s ok. But not good

[@whales302]

Would never buy another GMC Truck, what a piece of junk I bought in 2014, nothing but repairs totalling more than 16 thou. A truck that can't even make it to 100 thousand miles is a planned strategy for GM.

[@KumarKush69]

Every brand has issues stfu idiot I have a customer who got rid of his ford after it started having electrical issues

[@docholliday.4590]

No blind spot is stupid. I'm a Ford guy but I think this truck looks really good! But no BLIND spot? GMC WTF? It should be in all these full size trucks. Petty to not be. And NO vanity lights. It's called a vanity mirror for a reason. It doesn't bother me so much but every guys significant other is going to hate it. He'll I think it's dumb too

[@CarsMadeSimple]

It is a weird omission as it's a feature many people find useful. My guess is because lane keeping assist with lane departure warning is standard, they do not make blind spot detection standard.

[@miketampabay9446]

Really? Have you seen the Ford tremor 400a? 59k for manual seats, tiny info screens, analog gauges, halogen headlights etc...at least you get heated seats, big screen, digital gauges, power seats, led headlights etc....
