2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation - What Does Affordable Mean Nowadays?

[@infidel24]

For that price, you should get cooled front seats and a 2 speed transfer case. Vehicle prices are getting out of control.

[@703Speed]

Agreed

[@Martyvison]

An SLT trim at least I own one of these there cheap and you don’t get much for the cost

[@brooktroutangler5917]

X31 package is nice....2 speed, better tires, dual exhaust, better suspension, descent control, skid plates

[@Rampage18320]

Just bought my 2024 GMC Elevation and watched this video afterwards. Learned a few new things about my truck. Love the video, keep up the good work 👊

[@FrankLinares]

grats !! what color you purchase?

[@andrewcontois4544]

When I go on thier website I can’t find the package or the interior, do you know why?

[@s14tv]

I did the same. im absolutely in love with this truck

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

[@pennycummings5312]

I got this in thunderstorm gray. The best color. Love mine so far

[@Tommyt212002]

Dude, Thunderstorm grey maybe the best truck color ever created, that's what i am wanting as well.

[@mminniear984]

Thank you for saying it’s too expensive. Idk how many reviewers I watch saying “affordable” or “deal” or something like that. Buying a new truck is like selling a kidney. I’m keeping my 13 ram until it’s no longer fixable.

[@chrisjohnson1312]

I am picking up a 2024 truck exactly like this one, $12k off MSRP. I think 66k MSRP is too much, so pleased with the very recent discounts. But let's be honest now: New trucks are basically the clones of their counterpart SUVs, which are about 10k MORE than the truck variant. Compare F150s to Expeditions, Tundra's and Sequoias, Silverado to Tahoe. I would argue unless a family NEEDS a 3rd row, the truck is a much better deal with more versatility. For less money. Basic trucks with no bells and whistles have almost been completely replace by the upgraded interiors and extra features of their SUVs. This makes me feel better about my purchase.

[@mminniear984]

@@chrisjohnson1312 that’s a good deal. I have heard recently that trucks have been going down. Especially Ram trucks because they’re not selling as much and dealers are getting too much inventory. $54k for a $66k truck is a decent price I think. I mean you do get a lot for the money. I won’t deny that. Standard equipment is quite a big list these days

[@DeezeNuts-o5m]

Just got this truck on a good deal, traded in my 2018 Silverado which knocked the price down respectfully….so far it’s awesome! Got the blacked out version as well 😎

[@derekknight4214]

Totally agree about the rear view mirror. My 2021 Canyon had an auto dim rear view and it was half the price!

[@KevinExclamationPoint]

I bought a 2022 F150 Lariat Powerboost Crew Cab 4x4 with 360 assist and 7.2kw inverter in bed. It was the base trim and with X Plan pricing was $58K. Since they don’t even have a base Lariat trim anymore, $58K would barely get you an XLT with those options. A Lariat with those features is a $70k+ truck now. Basically, yes trucks are waaaaaaaay too expensive these days. Guess what? People keep buying them anyway, so the manufacturers don’t care!

[@703Speed]

Yup! Exactly

[@MartinStockel-k6f]

All you needed for the video was a pumpkin on the hood. It really surprises me that how well the truck looks in all black. Thanks for another great video.

[@703Speed]

Lol.. Thank you

[@MartinStockel-k6f]

You are sure welcome.@@703Speed

[@DeezeNuts-o5m]

Also the back headrests lay down if you want more vision

[@virginiahale143]

Excellent review! We are picking up our new elevation tomorrow. Sale price and rebates brought it down to $54k. Thanks for going through the controls and features. We learned a lot from the review.

[@Kalashnikovx89]

What was the msrp before all the savings?

[@virginiahale143]

$68,600 with premium trim package which includes leather seating and running boards.

[@thomassweeney1676]

Just picked one up. Excellent video. Helped me a lot marking my decision on what truck to get. This truck is the best bang for the buck from the gmc line. But you have to get the premium trim package.

[@ShawnBerg-on5zf]

Very good review! I have a 2024, 1500 elevation with the premium package. Mine has the X31 suspension. I think that’s where I got the two speed transfer case, because I have 4WD Low. I 100% agree with you on the auto dem rear view mirror! I didn’t realize how much I appreciated that feature until I noticed this one didn’t have it. I also think cooled seats and auto up windows should be included for the price. All in all, it’s a nice truck. The first thing I did was remove the oversized “Elevation” badges. I think they take away from the look of the truck. I also did a muffler delete, I left the flapper in place. Now it sounds great! It’s a little louder than I expected at cold start but then it tones down a bit and sounds great and I have zero droning sound. I will get a Range Technology DFM disabler as soon as it is available.

[@NeueSigne]

How so you do muffler delete?? Thanks

[@shaunbrandon39]

Great video, just bought this model and learnt a bit about it. Unfortunately it’s 82k here in Canada.

[@gjr1167]

Honestly I loved the look of the new GMC sierra I got the 2024 thunderstorm gray looks awesome with grey emblems… I regret not having researched since having the premium package is more bang for its buck. If you don’t get premium it’s like a regular truck with no cool mods

[@duke2219]

I just bought a 2024 X31 w/ Premium Package and the Duramax. I gave $53k for it and it stickered at $69k. This is NOT a $70k truck as it doesn't have an auto dimming rear view mirror,power folding mirrors or automatic wipers or LED tail lights like was previously mentioned... I mean C'mon GM these are basic features that couldn't add more than a couple of hundred to the already bloated sticker.

[@tomlightfield3154]

Well done tutorial on this truck, nothing left to the imagination, you covered it all!!

[@crazycomments8038]

My 2020 Ford Ranger 4 cy 2.3 liter turbo, has 310 HP 20 mpg! I want a bigger truck but I don't think it is worth it!

[@justinlukes3816]

I agree. I like the elevation package. Because it's all blacked out. But at that price range, you should get front cooled seats and rear heated a passenger power seat and automatic Power folding mirror should come standard! For that kind of money.

[@paulm6481]

GM has to do GM. How can brake light not be LED on such an expensive vehicle in this day and age? 🤷‍♂️

[@G-Rated]

And y’all Americans have to be the Americans you are. Y’all complained about the interiors first, *gm* has since completely overhauled them both and now they’re amongst the best, if not the absolute best luxury interiors in the segment. So now y’all _look_ for things to complain about like the bulb type of the taillight. I’m sure enough will hop on the bandwagon and make incandescent lights a problem for all and they’ll end up addressing that as well. It’s hilarious how y’all say “A REAL TRUCK doesn’t need [insert every premium feature on the Sierra] yet y’all will nitpick and cry over a LED lightbulb. *gm* I blame you for being so darn soft! BMW and Mercedes have been using inc incandescent bulbs for lighting forever and just recently stopped, yet Americans buy them without ANY lip about it.

[@ElJefe360]

Agree!! GM=Cheap Parts

[@danielbonner8309]

The benefit of not having factory LEDs is you can swap them out to led and swap out the bulbs when they go bad relatively inexpensively. When the factory LEDs go bad you have to replace the whole taillight or headlight. Let's hope it's still under warranty cause that is expensive.

[@In-obscurity-n7j]

👍🏻👍🏻 I think you covered just about everything. Detail is paramount. Its why we are here. Thanks

[@703Speed]

Thank you!

[@johnb1448]

We can talk about prices all day long it is what it is. Awesome video you would make a great dj with the sound of your voice. Anyway bought one myself yes 63k 1500 Sierra SLT and other bells and whistles.

[@TicklerDude]

My 2015 Chevy Silverado still runs amazing. Regular maintenance and tire rotations keep it like new. I only had to replace the battery and shocks. People still thinks it like new. I only paid $36K. Why would I pay almost double if my current truck is working perfectly well?

[@mohammedshazan7273]

is there a nice spot for say ... some jumper cables ?

[@christianpilola1157]

Does this vehicle come with the elevation premium package? You didn’t say

[@alexisgilgonzalez9268]

Excellent Truck, but as you mentioned very expensive. GMC has to consider lowering the price to 60k.

[@Countcho]

That enter’s Canyon price levels

[@dynomatics5467]

I bought the Sierra 1500 Elevation with premium package with a few differences being an included sunroof and a standard tailgate. I've had it for two days and purchased it from that exact location. I think you were spot on with majority of your opinions, especially the "mean" cold start and smooth silent ride on the hwy. The truck market is pretty insane, but were seeing the prices coming down and I was able to purchase this well under MSRP. Thankfully, Koons Tysons dealership (David O. - Sales) made it easy to leave with a beautiful and well equipped truck. If you're in that area, I would absolutely recommend checking them out - we're glad we took the 45 minute drive to see what they had. Only minor complaints would be the lack of cooled seats and the interior cabin lights are pretty dim.

[@703Speed]

Did you buy the car from Koons because of this video? Congrats on your new truck!

[@dynomatics5467]

Thank you! And I watched this video the day after I bought it.

[@Veterans-e2c]

I gotta 2024 gmc Denali in tri coat white with the dark brown mocha interior fully loaded for $74995. I was looking at an elevation but the dealer didn’t have one it’s the Duramax diesel. The discounted the Denali by a crap 💩 load and it had the duramax and I’m one super happy owner the Denali was always my dream truck.

[@Punkhonda1]

great review many ppl rush through reviews but you killed it

[@stevelaconte8802]

What does it cost to get these fancy features when the bulbs go bad?

[@raulsantacruz2690]

Just bought mine today 2024 I have no credit score so I did drop a heavy bag $ on it 20k$ cash down payment Ik it’s a lot sadly my % was at 10% and car should come out to be 76k overall, im 22 so I’m definitely gonna have a blast with this truck 🙏🏽

[@pewterpirate4560]

Great truck...but. why do shape the wheel wells that way?? Pick a shape. Got way more for my money in my Laramie

[@shaunv.564]

I agree it's unacceptable it doesn't come standard with the auto dim rear view mirror. Definitely not a 66k truck.

[@sundaydickson]

The Elevation is on par with Ford's Lariat & Ram's Laramie not the XLT. I almost bought the '23 of this as a Black pig but GMs configuration is a funny one. I couldn't get exacor almost what I wanted, even with me compromising the engine size, my option came up to 84KCAD, I had to settle for Ford's Lariat factory-built, Full hybrid (7.2kwh), 3.5V6 & BLK appearance package for the same price after some discount. IMHO, a better buy for what I wanted. On the whole, you can't go wrong with this GMC.

[@703Speed]

F150's are great too!

[@kirkdunn1379]

SLT in GMC is ford lariat and Ram laramie.....standard leather and power front and vented seats, and all can be built close to top trims....elevation cannot be built to those specs, no pass power seat either

[@andrewcontois4544]

When I look for them online I can’t find the package and that interior.

[@ceciliosoto526]

I own a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation, and your video taught me something new-I discovered that my truck has a sports mode. However, the one thing I'm not fond of is the precision shifter; it feels counterintuitive to push forward for reverse and pull back for forward. Nonetheless, I appreciate your thoroughness in the video!

[@trumpmypresident4721]

You're very good at what you do.

[@crane5161]

I agree with you that it should have auto dimming mirror.

[@mr_diddlz001]

For the premium package some of y’all demand too much. It’s an Elevation not a Denali. You wanted all those extra features get a SLT or higher. Btw if the truck is unlocked and you double tap remote start the truck will auto lock then start. Dont gotta hit lock then start

[@rumplebumple4185]

Yessah ! I have a 2022 Elevation that has more features than the 2024 package at a price of $45,000 w/sound system in tail gate how’s that for this price

That should be the Denali Ultimate price point. But on an Elevation???? I got my 19 Sierra Denali Ultimate (loaded) for 50k just a few short years ago. Trucks are getting waaaaay overpriced, and it's going to get much worse for 24.

[@damnedtexan1976]

I bought my 2024 Elevation on March 16th. Didn't get the premium and I only bought a new truck because my 2012 Ram needed more $ in repairs than I wanted to spend. I think mine was overpriced, BUT was the most loaded for the money.

[@mwinner101]

I bet Koons will deal. My local dealer has $6000 off just because plus $2250 off promotion allowance.

My opinion is to choose the 2.7 with cloth seats. GM has a ton of cash on the hood right know.

[@JohnPardy-z9x]

I recently ordered the Blacked out Elevation with the Premium and X-31 off road package. The price of vehicles like everything is out of control. It's hard to comprehend that with a sticker price of 80.000 it is not available with a power adjustable front passenger seat. that means the seat has no height adjustment for passenger comfort. I thought it was all about comfort. What a rip off. To get a blacked out truck with a power front passenger seat I would have to get the blacked out AT4 . That truck was my first choice but would set me back probably 100.000. Again what a rip off. I currently own a 2017 All Terrain X. It has the same trim level as the SLT. and has power front seats. Looking forward to getting the truck in the next 3 or 4 months but that seat issue is going to be a black mark on it.

[@JohnPardy-z9x]

@@randallsavage8743. I guess one could call it a rip off but I live in Canada and because of that I will pay $15,000 more than you will pay for the same truck. Still waiting for the truck. It's been in transit from where it was built for 2 months now, somewhere in the US. It has been in Quebec for 3 weeks now waiting for a train ride to Labrador City. Then they need 8 or 9 vehicles to fill a car hauler before it will make the 6 hr. trip to the GM dealer in Goose Bay Labrador where I will pick it up. That is just an 800 km drive, round trip to pick it up. Hopefully just one more month waiting. That will be 8 months from the day I ordered it.
