2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation V8: This Is The GMC Sierra Sweet Spot

[@dantimber]

This is my favorite look and configuration (being double cab) for the Sierra. I just wish they'd offer the 6.2L for the Elevation.

[@je1279]

A V8 is always the best option. Per the adage, there's no replacement for displacement.

5.3 355 h.p and 383 tq. 3.0 I6 305 h.p and 495 tq. I'll take the diesel.

[@TheRealSandorClegane]

@@joshualake4882 the 3.0 diesel is going to cause a lot of people a lot of problems. Avoid the new 3.0

[@FrankLinares]

I went to look at this V8 at my local dealership today (3-30-2024). Loved the ride of the vehicle. The exterior in white in my opinion is great. I agree....this Elevation V8 is the sweet spot. Thank you for the review.

My first pickup truck! Amazing video Ben.

[@heffegaming]

Damn. Good fucking pickup. My first was a 14, Chevy LT

[@MrChevrolet94]

V8 is perfect for this truck!!!!! Sings beautiful music every time!!!!

ben is top 3 best car/truck reviewers on youtube. he addresses everything im curious about. i ended up buying an elevation after watching this video and others.

[@kevincuevas2737]

What motor did you go with?

[@xystere]

@@kevincuevas2737 5.3. i have the 2.7 in my single cab long bed chevy work truck. it's great for that truck since i don't tow, but id never want it in a crew max sierra.

[@thearcadeventures]

Love the new redesigned interior!

[@geographic213]

That’s one beautiful truck very elegant interior, I always preferred the double cab as tested here over the crew cab, it just looks better that the bed is bigger than the cab but that’s just me.

[@randycupp5925]

I agree. Huge cabs with tiny beds look so silly...

[@brandonmcfarland5200]

That 5.3 Needs 400 Horsepower & 430 Pound Feet Of Torque.

[@miketampabay9446]

That's the 6.2

[@mkgallegos15]

Why is this the only Sierra double cab video I can find?! They're that rare apparently

[@mr_diddlz001]

They definitely are getting more rare then they used to be

[@Proparkourgamer]

Does the remote start turns on the car with AC or without? (is there an option to enable or disable the AC with remote start?)

[@Davethegoat19]

The ac or heated seats and heated steering turn on depending the weather

[@hellraiserrec19]

Anyone else think the exhaust sounds great for stock exhaust? Great review!

[@251Trioxin]

It’s great all around … love the v8 ❤

Watching this on the big screen 😁

[@cliffordzellner5917]

Sweet looking ride.

[@santiagoesparza1796]

My dream truck bro

[@adambaxter9714]

Curious on the space for back seat riders in the double cab. Was this driver seat most of the way back? How tall are you?

[@BenHardyCars]

It’s okay, not great for adults

[@Bpope]

Does this car have parking assist? That beeps if you are close to something?

[@mr_diddlz001]

Depends on the package, this one he is reviewing doesn’t not.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

While this is a beautiful truck, I really like the Desert Sand color, do you think these will be running in 15-20 years?

[@Drpepperkev4]

The only thing I hate the MPG is not very good

[@mr_diddlz001]

It’s better than Ram.

[@elisalvatierra8959]

where is the size for the hooper ?

Good looking truck Lift, wheels & tires You got a hellva truck

Everything is better with V8

[@godislove025]

Great video

[@thepdc6220]

I almost bought this exact truck. Too many complaints on the lifters so I cancelled the deal.

[@paugie40]

But no blind spot detection or parking sensors. I dont think you can get them in this triim anymore.

[@mr_diddlz001]

you can depends on the package, my neighbor has it on his

[@TheJeffShadowShow]

Interesting to see Ford F150, Mitsubishi and Hyundai (both junk!) commercials during this video. The GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Double Cab is the ONLY choice for me!

[@Billkobel]

I test drove an Elevation yesterday. I had never considered a GMC product before. The exterior appearance is what caught my attention. I think it looks great. However, I wasn’t impressed beyond that. My immediate impressions: The interior is “old-school, General Motors fancy.” Some of you will know what I mean. It looks and feels like my mother-in-law’s old Buick. From a performance standpoint, I was disappointed. I accelerated hard several times and drove it on the highway at a higher speed. The learning moment for me: It’s still a four cylinder. You can add all the performance-enhancing technology, but it’s still a four cylinder. It sounds and feels like a four cylinder trying to be more than that. For anyone who wants a little more substance, a little more “bite,” this isn’t it. I have to believe the next-level 5.3 V8 would be perfect. In terms of price, it looks like there are some good deals starting to be available on this truck. I would not pay $55k to $60k for it, but I’ve seen a few online at $49k or so, and that seems like it could be a great value to the buyer who is really happy with this truck. With all that said, I respect that this could be the right fit for many. It’s just not the right fit for me.

[@kevinchavez1259]

Bro. Shut up… then don’t buy it. People work hard to buy that truck and all you do is bash it.

[@Billkobel]

@@kevinchavez1259 Take it easy. I wasn’t criticizing anyone’s purchase decision. I respect that everyone has different preferences and priorities when evaluating a vehicle. I simply provided my experience, first impression and opinion, and that’s what this channel is about.

[@Josh125125]

Plans on reviewing a 23' F150 Limited? Curious to see what, if anything, Ford has added back from 22'.

[@BenHardyCars]

I will

[@davidzambrano9126]

Nothing. They actually removed ambient lighting and heated steering wheel. Plats lost the lay flat and massaging seats.

[@Josh125125]

@@davidzambrano9126 Yes, very disappointing. I went ahead and purchased the ambient lighting cup holders, cubby area light, and digital temp dials and will install them myself on my '22 plat. Penny pinching on an $87,000 truck is plain wrong.

This or 401a tremor?

[@SpankyDaTanky]

I hate the handle on the back door I wish they were live the old access cabs

[@Drpepperkev4]

It's dispointing that it's a extended cab rather then a full crew cab, the review mirror being Manuel is a dispointment

[@mr_diddlz001]

They have a crew cab. Mine is a crew cab

[@greghale717]

GRRRRRRRR, stop saying "THAT'S FOR SURE" after every sentence. Other than that, good video. Don't you think most people are going to opt for the Crew Cab Version?

[@mr_diddlz001]

I did. I don’t like the double cabs, I’d rather have more cab space
