2024 GMC Sierra 2500 AT4X VS 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2: Which One Is The Better Buy???

[@steinravnik8692]

Just took home last Friday the Chevy in that color with the AEV and Bison packages. Also dark essentials and power running boards. Love mine.

[@happy2bnfla]

Thanks for video! I fly to Alabama to pick up my ZR2 tomorrow! I was going to buy the GMC until I saw the mire rounded fenders around the tires! I hate the mitered fenders and the lights on the fender flairs on the GMC!

[@Jdubswateringhole]

I’m a GMC over Chevy guy but hard to not recognize that Chevy wins this battle. The GMC extras are mostly “nice to haves” and not worth 8k extra. The GMC would also require that I replace the rims but I would keep the Chevy wheels all day. Thanks for this comparison.

I've honestly never understood why GMC is a brand. What makes them distinct from Chevy? They are the same GM platforms, and part of why GM was/is in ruins was their heavy re-badging of the same platforms across so many marques. My mother had '68 Chevelles, '76 Camaro Z/28, and then an '89 Camaro RallSport before going all Pontiac. 96 Firebird, 2003 WS6 TransAm, and finally a G5. The Firebirds were re-branded Camaros, but they did have original interior designs. The WS6 performance package also was unique over the top Camaro. However, the G5 was very little different from the Cobalt I owned.

[@jonathonsantamont8527]

@@drownthepoorI get it. GMC is supposed to have more premium materials inside and different sheetmetal outside. In 2024 the outside is different, however I can’t really see or tell a difference from by HC vs a Denali…. I get Ultimate has massaging seats and such, I’m saying outside of that trim they are pretty much the same with modded badging…

This is a super cool video side by side like this. I agree the Chevy looks better but GMC is more grown up

[@ponce1521]

Zr2 gasser is my next truck! Plenty of towing for me and what i do. Max 10k trailer and slow overlanding/hunting with the gasser prevents any diesel emission issues from the crawling and slow speed driving for 80-90 miles.

[@gobluekurt]

Both trucks look amazing. I like the interior of the Chevy, I like the front end of the GMC. Wheels better on the Chevy. Fender trim is better on Chevy. Prefer deployable steps over the stationary. Rear is better on the GMC but I don’t like the multi pro tailgate. I like the Chevy can black out all the badges not on the GMC. I like both colors but Chevy better and hands down the price of the Chevy and that would be enough to lean overall on the Chevy.

[@supporterofsanity]

Man, two winners! I really hate to tell you this but that ZR2 is 🔥🔥. But hey the AT4X is still🔥😂

[@JB_WhoWork]

Yup! I can admit that the Chevy looks meaner 💪🏾💪🏾

[@JeffreyTarman]

Probably the best review of both truck side by side. I do prefer the wheels of the Chevy but I prefer the front end and interior options of the GMC. Yes you're paying more for the GMC but you DO get just a bit more of the comfort with that price. Nice color. Didn't know that it was new. I'm would like to see them switch to a 37" tire as an option for both

[@dallasfrost1996]

Even though these two are twins, they target two completely different demographics. The ZR2 is for those that want a raw & rugged off-roader. The AT4X is for those that want a premium & luxurious off-roader. Both achieve their intended purposes very well.

[@JB_WhoWork]

Good point

[@frankc7490]

Thanks for the thorough review. May I recommend you zoom out when inside the trucks to show the dash and other areas from the perspective of person in the vehicle, then zoom in temporarily to show details. I would have liked to see the 2 dashes from the drivers view. Just some friendly recommendations!!!:) Hope you enjoy the truck!!!

I LOVE THE RED TOW HOOKS

[@AirRyanTX]

The 2500 HD ZR2 Duramax is tremendous value. For roughly the same price, you can get a 1500 AT4X with the now standard for MY24 3.0L I6 Duramax. As much as I love that GMC 1500 AT4X, a Silverado 2500 ZR2 HD would be a no-brainer. I ordered a MY24 Super Duty Platinum Tremor but I agree, I just don't like the refresh as well as I did the MY22 Super Duty's, and then I ended up finding my Ram 2500. I love the wheels on the AT4X HD; for me; I don't need all chrome or al polished aluminum, I like the mix of both. The Ram 2500 Rebel wheels are another example of this. On the AT4X HD, I was leaning towards the Volcanic Red tintcoat as that color just pops in the sunlight. On the ZR2 HD I'd go for the Lakeshore Blue color.

[@ryanmartin4574]

Tremendous value would be one of the last terms I would use to describe either of these trucks.

[@JB_WhoWork]

I actually did a comparison between my AT4X and a Rebel 👍🏾

[@fit4ya1975]

Tremendous value? My 2020 Denali 2500 Duramax had MSRP of $78400. Got it for 70k. Just as nice as these 2 trucks going for 90k. Thats absurd man.

[@gotime1236]

There is DEFINITELY a color Difference between the two and it's NOT hard to tell! The ZR2 is a more NARDO GRAY vs the AT4X which is a SOFTER tone Gray AND NON-Metallic! Side by side in the video it's again #NOT hard to tell the difference so in person I'm SURE its an even bigger difference!! Can't wait to order my SLATE GRAY ZR2HD👍👍👍

[@Shaneeer]

Man, thank you for all your reviews. You have become the expert on HD trucks in the past couple years on KZbin and now the expert on GM this year. You’re making all the videos and comparisons that everybody wants, but nobody else is making. I just ordered my 3500 AT4 long bed in sterling metallic. The only thing I wish it had was the Multimatic shocks. How do these feel while driving the AT4X? Is it something I could install on my 3500 or do you think it’s not worth it? Also I’m getting a 5th this winter/ early spring and would be interested on your opinion on what I should get. Do you do any private consulting calls?

[@JB_WhoWork]

Thanks, really appreciate it, I’m working towards getting press cars but in the interim I have to buy them so I can continue to grow the channel. I don’t consult but I can always do a video. I wouldn’t add the DSSV because you will likely spend over $3k for just the front shocks and the biggest benefit is suspension travel and that’s not really worth over $6k when you can get fox shocks or equivalent. I love my Keystone Cougar and Alliance has been a favorite as of late 👍🏾

[@Shaneeer]

@@JB_WhoWork Thanks for the advice! One more quick question. Why do you prefer the gooseneck hitch over the 5th wheel? I like that it takes up less bed space, but I’ve heard it can add extra stress to the frame of the camper and the frame on the truck. Also is the Reese goose box something you bought and added to your camper or did it come with it?

[@JB_WhoWork]

@@Shaneeer the Reese GB is approved for lippert rv frames and it puts “less” stress on the trailer since it uses an airbag, shock absorbers, and rubber grommets. I prefer this simply because it’s less chances of my rv falling on my truck. I’ve seen so many hitches not securely lock in the pinbox and truck loses every time. Multiple friends have had it happen and I like not carrying a hitch in my bed 👍🏾

[@realityfitnessfyt4lyfe248]

I agree.... The Chevy is a better-looking truck. And, the price difference is pretty crazy, compared with the GMC. I also keep hearing that the GMC trucks are more likely to have issues.

[@wstevenson2004]

Do you think the gas engine is adequate for towing? Does it carry the trucks weight well?

It definitely will, these trucks are heavy but the powertrains can carry more than double the trucks weight. I towed my 13k fifth wheel up a grade and it maintained speed 👍🏾

[@wstevenson2004]

@JB_WhoWork good informative. I know the diesel had much more torque for the really heavy stuff, but I only tow a couple of harley right now with an enclosed. Probably 6000lbs or so. May get a smaller 5th wheel trailer like yours one day. I love what GM did with both trucks. Congrats on your newest purchase. It's a beautiful beast. I'm still on the fence between the two, but the colors in your comparison video are what I am considering. It's one of these or the Telsa if Elon ever gets going on the list. Thank you!

What a pair!! Ford looks like an old Ford lol nothing new at all… these two are amazing looking trucks. Hard choice but I’d go with the AT4x.. like the lights and seats better. I don’t mind the rims.. prefer that to just all black unless truck is all blacked out. Can’t go wrong either way , beautiful trucks. Could care less for speakers in a tailgate though.. wouldn’t get that , but like the multi flex tailgate . GMC paint is a lighter looking color

[@gangsta45ism]

I like both trucks but I like the ZR2 interior better. I don't care for the massage seats. I will point out that the USB ports being next to the cupholders in the GMC are crazy. What happens if you spill something in those ports? Are they waterproof? The Chevy has it located in a better position next to the buttons on the center dash.

[@drownthepoor]

The step-gate should be standard on both vehicles. Also I THOUGHT the step could be lowered while the gate is up, and allow for a lower angle for overhanging materials. Guess not though. The Chevy is just a better looking truck IMO, but I've never understood GMC in general. I know it's the luxury line, but it seems silly to have a separate marque for that. You don't see it from the other truck companies. My father had a 5-cylinder Colorado Z/71 4x4 truck, and it was a great little truck. Today he has a 4WD F350 Super-Duty gas engine. I see 4WD trucks as something people buy who usually NEED them for something, and because of that Ford tends to end up cheaper in the used market because there are more of them. If you're doing major hauling Dodge is always the winner because of the Cummins. I honestly don't know enough about the modern gas v8's from Chevy for their trucks.
