@@kevinbarry71 Bingo. Coldest ambient temperature I've personally experienced in the Rockies is -55° F. Plenty of times below -40° F. #2 diesel fuel at that temperature is pure slush, #1 gels. Without heated fuel tanks, diesel equipment at that temperature had to burn Jet A. Hard on the engines, but they wouldn't stay running otherwise. Block heaters were an absolutely necessity for diesels, and often needed for gas engines, too. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed those winters.

Great job Andre ! I own a 2021 Twin to that truck and you really nailed it. I thought that tailgate was gimmick, more trouble than it was probably worth . I too am finding it quite handy now that I have one , I find myself using and enjoying it’s features quite often. I got the same milage yesterday, on a trip I took on lower speed 2 lane highways. As long as I keep the speeds down in the 55-65mph range it get around 25 mpg. Interstate 80-85mph with hills and wind , that drops to 17-20 mpg. Love the 3.0L Duramax .

I’ve got the crew cab 6.5’ bed in 2wd. Gasoline version. My best MPG is 28.something. The tailgate sells the truck. 8 times out of 10 I open the secondary gate and use it to step up into the bed or put it down to reach father into the bed. I think the current style is spot on and hope it sticks around for a long while. Just got a wireless CarPlay adaptor so I can wireless charge and still have CarPlay working. Best add on so far. I really wish there was more accessories that work together like a bed cover that works with a corner post rack system to hold a tent and still allows you to open the bedcover(tri fold). Everything thing I see uses a clamp system that you can’t have both at once.

I have the 2020 AT4 w/3.0 Duramax that I purchased in early Aug 2020, trading in my 2011 6.2L Ford Raptor with 67K miles that was getting 13 locally and about 15 hwy if everything was in my favor. My AT4 currently has 3900 miles, has averaged 24 MPG since I left the dealer, the best 50 miles according to the display is 31.4 MPG. It’s been pretty much a 50/50 split between local driving and road trips. I still have a while to go for the first oil change. The truck is loaded with every option, the technology is great, the truck has the trailer towing mirrors,👍🏼, the 6’7” bed, the 20” wheels w/Goodyear All Terrains (I did want the 18” wheels) , premium paint, the off road side steps, the 3.0 Duramax/10 speed, every option package, tech package, the console vault and rear under seat storage box, etc. It runs great cruises at low RPMs, the 10 speed is a perfect match, fuel range is outstanding, plenty of power and really quiet & comfortable. The cameras are amazing. The only two things I have done so far was a black DIAMOND BACK HD cover & Craven Speed stubby antenna. I would recommend the AT4 w/Duramax with out any reservations!

25 mpg with a full load of people and gear is outstanding for a full size off road truck with 420 lb-ft of available torque. If I was to get a Sierra, I'd probably go with this 3.0 Duramax.

I’ve got a ‘20 Silverado with 3.0 Diesel and it definitely doesn’t like the cold. On a trip for thanksgiving I got 28.5 Mpg (temps in the 50’s), I did the same trip for Christmas and it was in the 20’s up to 30 degrees and got 23.5 mpg. I bet the louvers behind the grill closing cause a lack of aero, and the cold might keep engine temps just sub optimal. Mileage seems ok when driving 40 degrees and above. Heck in the summer I did a trip with 4 people and a bed full of stuff to the Outer Banks, NC, and got 29.7 mpg on the way down and 30.0 mpg on the way home! It’s a mileage machine.

It’s plausible, although I haven’t really seen any comparable decrease in mileage on normal tanks when not traveling. Where I live (WV) we don’t get that kind of brutal cold I saw on the way back from CT, and I’m sure I have winter blend here. It’s gotta be the louvers as a major factor. They seem to come into play under 40 degrees from what I can tell, and I get plenty time here under that.

Great video Andre! I am really impressed with my 2021 GMC 1500 with the 3.0 liter. Very smooth and torque way down low and great fuel economy! If GM invested a bit more it would be the perfect heavy half ton for a light weight truck camper or pulling. However I dont care for 5 8 inch bed..too short and my fault. Also hate the 22 gallon fuel tank and only 1750 pounds payload and 3.23 gears. Not engineered for what I need and thats on me for signing a lease for this. It would suit most others just fine. Glad I leased as I will buy an F150 with HEAVY DUTY PAYLOAD PACKAGE and 6.5 bed and 36 gallon tank and truck tires and made in Dearborn by folks who pay taxes. Last of the real heavy half tons in the world where all these fancy city trucks with too many options and made outside of U.S. dominate the bug box retailers full of Chinese goods. We dont jerr to blame politicians just look in the mirror on how we turn our backs on eachother by not buying from our neighbors. I am guilty.

Replace the rancho shocks with Bilstein 5100s. You can get all 4 for $489 from 4 wheel parts online. I hate the body roll as well and this is what I'm doing after watching a few reviews. Ditch the rancho shocks. They are garbage. Still don't know why TFL says they are good when they aren't.

I really like the at4 1500 and 2500. But HATE the garbage wax coated frames on them that living in salt country means it’ll be rusting like crazy after a winter or 2. Come on GM.

I bought this truck a few weeks ago. I have about 1500 miles on it now and I'm averaging high 18's low 19's. I'm actually getting better mileage in the city than on the interstate. I baby it, and drive it slow on the interstate and the mileage is terrible. What the hell is going on?

I don't believe fuel efficiency justifies anything vs. sticker price$$$$$$$$ May be long term it does, but Manufactures/dealers want to take you to the bank right away with a ridiculous sticker price with or without savings, especially on fuel efficiency vehicles like this. Not to mention maintenance needed when servicing vehicle. Nice review! Maybe one with 100,000 miles would be more affordable. :)

You're making a common mistake and assuming you have to pay that much for the diesel. The diesel option on the AT4 is a $995 option over the 5.3L. Is the 3.0 worth $995 over the 5.3? No doubt about it.

Scenic area. Any idea what kind of mpg the gas version gets? Where I live Diesel is more expensive at the pump than gas.That's a shame to because I have heard good things about them. And I do think that's a good looking truck. If you can you might consider getting a topper that will interchange on other halftones for times like this. If you can figure out what bed size you usually end up with that might help protect your stuff abit more.

The fuel efficiency of diesel over gas generally pays for that difference. When looking at the Colorado/Canyon gas vs diesel, I had done calculations based on fuel prices in my area at the time. Basically, after 30k miles, you're spending more money on fuel owning a gas engine vs a diesel even with the price difference between the two fuels.

I know trucks are heavy and stuff but how is 25mpg efficient? I had a 2000 Mercedes ML320 that could do that mpg. 20 years later and a smaller engine and a diesel get the same mpg and that is good? I'm confused.
