I Bought my Dream Truck! 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X

[@Quik22]

Ive had my 24 AT4X for 2 months and absolutely love it. Thunderstorm grey with the duramax and as part of my deal, the dealer switched all emblems to black which made a huge difference. I was on the fence with the 6.2 but have been thrilled with the duramax so far.

[@robjenkins6609]

I also got a 2024 AT4X back in March and I am SO GLAD the dealer convinced me to go ahead and take the diesel rather than holding out for the 6.2L I originally thought I wanted…I’ve had the 6.2L in another Sierra Denali and it’s a good engine but for actual every day use, I’m not real concerned with how fast the truck can go from 0-60. I love the torque of the diesel and of course the mileage is no comparison. Absolutely amazing truck all around and I personally have no regrets about the price tag. Cheers! 🍻

[@kirkdunn1379]

I had that color in a 2021 elevation......absolutely the nicest color I've owned.......

[@mdoneg]

Love my 24 AT4X with the baby diesel! Mine is in Thunderstorm and I added a switch pro and ditch lights for now for the dark mtn roads of Colorado. 15k on it since April. It’s a tank!

[@marks5097]

Yeah the 6.4 has 410hp 429ftlbs of torque while the AT4X has 420hp 460ftlbs of torque plus the 2500 tad heavier than the 1500. Thanks for feedback, congrats on the truck its beautiful. Volcanic Red is the only one i like too. Looking at two different dealerships and just no incentives or rebates right now so hard to pull the trigger on expensive truck. Prices are insane. Im sure the ride is awesome too with the new suspension why i want to downgrade to half ton. Congrats once again, she's a beaut. Awesome video

[@OutdoorBeards]

Thank you sir!

[@davidbodnar18]

Congratulations on buying your dream truck, it is beautiful. I too just bought my dream truck, a AT4 6.2L 1500 in white. I hope you have the time of your life with your AT4X

[@taleed6502]

How do you rate the performance? Is there any issue with 6.2 L engine? I’m planning to have one Thanks

[@OutdoorBeards]

Had it for over a year now with engine issues. Runs great, works great, it’s comfy. Only issue I’ve had was with the massaging seat on the driver side needing replaced. Which was under warranty so not a big deal

[@Joe-c8i3n]

I got mine in Sept. 2023. Same color as yours, volcanic red. AT4X AEV, I love my truck!!💪👍

[@OutdoorBeards]

Awesome bud! Nice color choice. Enjoy!

[@SammyAt4]

Nice truck!! I was going to pull the trigger on one but i bought my 2020 AT4 6.2 Carbon Pro during the pandemic and only paid $56k 😂 so going to hang on to it a bit longer. Plus i just added a 4”BDS lift with Fox Shocks, auto step, 35’s, 20” fuel rims, Borla S exhaust, and Brembo GMC brakes.

[@OutdoorBeards]

Too bad you can’t share pictures on this thing. That sounds like a great looking truck

[@sillyboy32]

I pulled the cord on a 2024 black AT4X today.....traded in my 2017 modded 4runner pro. paid 43 for the 4runner in 2017 and got got 30.

[@deuce24cuatro]

Absolutely pretty truck bro. That red go crazy! I just got a ‘23 Chevy Silverado HC, but the GMC AT4X is one pretty beast!

[@mrge8rge]

Great video - waiting on my 2023 AEV edition to arrive later this month in Sterling Metallic .. Love the truck

[@OutdoorBeards]

Nice! I was too excited to wait for the AEV edition.

[@tonyalv6329]

I’m so close to be able to buy this beautiful truck soon congrats 🙏🏻

[@9663mu]

Bad ass model and the color is beautiful. Feel like the X model should have gotten bigger tires. Don’t have to be 35s just like one size up.

[@OutdoorBeards]

As long as it didn’t make the fuel economy go down, then yeah I think a size up would not have been bad.

[@paulm6481]

Beautiful truck. Congratulations. One day I hope to be able to afford it 😍

[@myrtlebeachhomepro]

Congrats on the new truck!! I love the color. I just picked up a white 23, mostly because the colors were impossible to find around me. Wish I could add the AEV rear bumper but so far, not finding any AEV aftermarket accessories available. Anyway, enjoy the ride and look forward to hearing how it does on your trip!

[@OutdoorBeards]

Yeah I can’t decide regarding the back bumper. The AEV version doesn’t have the steps and the stamped steel is awesome but heavy and decreases hauling capacity a bit. All said and done I’m super happy with the purchase.

[@arnelmendoza6744]

Nice Truck!! Waiting to get a 2024 hopefully! My daughter will take my Tacoma when she starts driving at the end of the year! Planning on getting mine at Kendall GMC in Nampa too!!

[@bradlanders6537]

Thanks for the review. I currently have a 2023 Sierra AT4 but am upgrading to a 2024 AT4X that is being delivered in 4 days. They are both such amazing trucks.

[@TryingYourLvck]

what made you upgrade?

[@stephenrussell9518]

Beautiful color , just need some power retractable steps and look even better plus kids won’t have to mountain climb to get in . Good luck with it . 👍

[@OutdoorBeards]

Steps were backordered, they are on the way. But I went with a high clearance steps. Hoping it will keep the look of the truck a little bettter.

[@Toglander]

Pretty much every vehicle that has wireless CarPlay deals with that delay. I agree it is annoying and I wish they would give you the option to be wired instead. I would rather plug in my phone and have an immediate response than deal with the delay. It feels as though you are using 20 year old touch screen technology.

[@OutdoorBeards]

Agreed

[@nabatron21]

That delay on the Apple CarPlay is the same thing in my wife’s yukon at4. On my 19’ ram rebel it’s not wireless and I have to plug it into a usb cable. There is no delay so you could be right on the fact the wireless makes using the music delayed.

[@MrTredd222]

They just have to update the software is what it sounds like. I've seen both where the wireless use of phones have a 1-2 second delay and one where it was almost instantaneously done.

[@nabatron21]

@@MrTredd222 that’s interesting! I’ve test drove 2 back to back and both were very hit or miss on the charging

[@mackharris6536]

I might save up for AT4X or ford f150 tremor V8

I have to have a truck with wireless CarPlay so I might go with this or 22 ford f250 king ranch

[@lukepiwowar2371]

Beautiful truck! Congrats 👍

[@marks5097]

How is the overall power of the 6.2L Does she get up and go? I'm so close to pulling the trigger on one but have to travel and get one for no one close has one to even sit in and test drive. I have a Ram 2500 Laramie with the 6.4 hemi now and wondering alot about this truck

[@OutdoorBeards]

I’ve never driven a 6.4 hemi. I would think that would have more get up but much worse fuel mileage. I can tell you if I really get in it I can feel it pushing me back in the seat. Also I haul a tall 7x14 tandem trailer weighing about 5,000 pounds and I can barely tell I’m hauling.

[@mackharris6536]

My friends dad which is my neighbor got a AT4X in white and my friend has a ram 1500 longhorn

[@gk9417]

Yes I heard At4x does 14-17 mpg with the 6.2 I have a 21 Denali 6.2 and it gets 17 mpg It is what it is I might upgrade to a at4x but not sure if the wife could get in the thing lol ✌️🇨🇦👍

[@OutdoorBeards]

I hit 20 mpg on the freeway every time I travel that way. Downside for me is 95% of my driving is not freeway and very short trips so my overall average at the moment is like 12. But I don’t think I’m a good baseline to measure on when it comes to fuel economy. My high clearance steps are still on backorder and I am looking forward to them. Kind of doing a one arm pull-up type thing to get in it at the moment!

[@gk9417]

@@OutdoorBeards thanks for reply Can you get retractable steps on those trucks There is a demo silver one for 97k Canadian and a titanium rush metallic for 101k Canadian I wish it came with a diesel Great video thanks 🙏 ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@OutdoorBeards]

I am not sure about retractable steps on the AT4 or the AT4X. I wouldn’t think so since it’s an off roaring truck and retractable steps would take away the clearance you get from the 2 inch lift. I have high clearance steps on order for mine. Side note, in your previous comment you talked about gas mileage. I’m on my way back from a trip to Colorado, I’m from Idaho, my best 50 mile stretch was 24.8 mpg. I ran around 20mpg for most of the trip I think. I’ve been tracking my miles and gallons put in the truck for the trip and plan to do all the math when I get home for a full trip average.

[@gk9417]

[@ThePigOBenis]

Your review has been my favorite thus far! Definitely considering trading my Taco TRD Pro for a bigger truck because of a second kiddo. Would this be closer to the Tundra’s size or is the 2500 the direct competition to the Tundra? Also, what made you choose this over the 2500 ?

[@OutdoorBeards]

This and the tundra are the same size. Both are 1500s. I don’t like the new Tundra design. Specifically how the when the tailgate is lowered there isn’t anywhere to step up into the truck bed. The bumper you would normally step on is body on the tundra. As for why I went 1500 over a 2500 is how often I tow. I have a 7’x14’ cargo trailer I use when it do expos for Outdoor Beards. It weighs 3-4000 lbs and I do around 12 expos a year. Having a smaller truck means better fuel mileage when I’m not towing, which is the bulk of the year. On my trip to Colorado (not towing) I hit 24.8. I don’t think I would have had that with a 2500. Lastly, the 2500 did not have an AT4X model when I bought this. I think they do now. Basically, a 1500 did all the things I needed so I didn’t see the need to go bigger.

[@ThePigOBenis]

@@OutdoorBeards Thank you! Quite have similar thoughts on the Tundra. Also for the money, I feel the 1500 AT4X has more of a premium feel and way more features - that’s coming from a Toyota fanboy. From videos I thought the 2500 AT4X has a few aesthetics I liked more (eg the shifter lever) but you’re right about practicality and use. You’ve given me much to think about!

[@ElectricBlueIX]

Gah I love these trucks! I want one so bad but I’m not paying $80k for a 1/2 ton truck.

[@peterjin3549]

nice truck and video. pretty close to getting the same truck. i also have a kid about the same age. how does he handle getting in and out of the truck on a daily basis? i ask because i'm considering the aev edition which comes with side protection in lieu of running boards. i'm concerned my kid will be falling out of the truck.

[@OutdoorBeards]

I added the high clearance steps after making this video. Kiddo had a hard time without them. He could clamber up and in but he basically had to jump out of the truck. After getting the steps it solved the problem and everyone had an easier time. I believe with the AEV edition you would have the option swap out for steps. I like the high clearance ones because they don’t negate the 2 inch lift.

[@legion1630]

Wow that kid will be ready for American Ninja Warrior before u know it

[@frankgutierrez6016]

I want a truck like that.

[@gk9417]

Did you ever get the running boards installed Rock slider style Do they have auxiliary bold on removable steps ✌️👍🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@OutdoorBeards]

I’m still waiting for my steps to come in. I ordered the high clearance steps so they are not like rocker bars and I don’t think that they would have the ability to bolt on an additional step.

[@adamhoffman1377]

I went to test drive a 1500 AT4X today at my local GMC. The truck broke down on my test drive. It went into neutral while on the freeway then the engine shut off. Luckily was able to coast to a pull out but we were unable to restart the truck. How has your ownership experience been? I also test drove a Canyon AT4X and the wipers stopped working. I love the trucks but after my experience today, I'm scared. Coming from a Toyota. You definitley made the right choice with 6.2, the diesel is so boring!

[@OutdoorBeards]

I’m having a problem with the massaging seats that just started. Had the truck for a year and that’s the only issue so far. I live in Idaho and have driven it to Denver twice, Utah twice, and Washington once. All but one of those trips I was hauling my trailer. It’s been a great truck so far.

[@sierramadreoccidental2337]

Running boards should come standard

[@nabatron21]

How’s the bose sound system? I’ve heard on forums it’s not really that great!

[@OutdoorBeards]

I disagree. It sounds amazing! I listen to a wide range of music as well as audio books and I love it.

[@nabatron21]

@@OutdoorBeards that’s good to hear! I was skeptical since Bose has the 12 speaker system in it. Wife has a 21’yukon with Bose and it’s decent. I have a rebel with the alpine and it thumps for what it is so I would assume Bose with 12 speakers would be pretty decent.

[@OutdoorBeards]

It definitely doesn’t thump the same as something like having a 12 inch sub in your trunk. As I age my tastes have moved away from rock and rap and landed on more alternative and classical. So I don’t expect the same kind of thump but the clarity and range makes for great listening.

[@nabatron21]

@@OutdoorBeards I’m still in my 30s so I like a little loud tunes but nothing too crazy. Hoping it still has some thump to it with obviously clear audio.

[@michaelherman647]

no bueno...sounds muddled...GM needs to push an extended equalizer update

[@Jordan7-7-2-7]

Im looking at the same truck. How has your fuel mileage been? And whats it cost you to fill?

[@OutdoorBeards]

Fuel mileage depends on the type of driving so I’ll give you a little break down. I work from home so the bulk of my driving is short trips in town with a lot of stop lights so average speed is like 20mph. In those situations I get around 12-14mpg. I also spend a bit of time with the truck at idle, waiting for the kid after school or warming up in the morning. I have some 20-30 minutes drives, still in town, where I get to go 55 most of the way with few stops. Those situations I get around 16-17mpg. Freeway driving (no trailer) is fantastic around 22mpg. I have a “tall” 7x14 cargo trailer, maybe 3k lbs, hauling that I get 9-10 mpg. Freeway hauling at 70mph 8-9 mpg. Tried going 80 with it and fuel mileage drops to 4-5. As for cost of filling up. The truck is designed for 91 octane so you are paying for premium. Where I live it’s $3.30 a gallon. 25 gallon tank so I’m filling 20 gallons at a time ish. So around $70 a fill. Hope that helps!

[@tcheat214]

You’ve lived with it for a while now. Still liking the X?

[@OutdoorBeards]

Very much! I’m on my way back from a trip to Colorado right now and it’s been so comfortable. Also I hit 24.8 miles per gallon average over a 50 miles stretch during the trip. The daily driver mileage when I’m home is averaging 13 mpg. I’ve used the multiple tailgate in every configuration. That thing is super useful. I don’t think I’ll ever use the locking differentials though, I just don’t do enough serious off-roaring for that. So the At4 would have been plenty for me but I like the interior on the X better and I get massaging seats. Which on this long drive have been awesome.

[@mackharris6536]

Can you actually order one with the supercruise or no

[@OutdoorBeards]

I don’t think so, that’s only on the Denali ultimate. Honestly though I feel like the adaptive cruise control is better. The super cruise is just adaptive cruise with automatic lane change. It’s not like you can read a book while the super cruise does the work since it watches your eyes. Not really worth it to me.
