Ridiculous - 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 AT4 Crew Cab w/ 4WD Review

[@ronaldpenczek9503]

Taking delivery of this very truck today. I've watched a ton of reviews on the 20 year model and this 21 leading up to my purchase. Your review has been the most complete and best produced I've seen. Thank you.

[@AutoAcademics]

We appreciate that, Ronald Penczek. Congrats on your new truck and thanks for watching!

[@jeremiahholt2425]

Your going to absolutely love yhis truck! My only complaints are like he said, getting in to the truck which power steps will help but should come standard and the seats. The seats are really flat and stiff! I had much nicer seats in my 14' LTZ. My only hope is that they will break in. Mine has 2900 miles on it and the seats are really my only complaint

[@ronaldpenczek9503]

@@jeremiahholt2425 I've had mine now about a month. 2100 miles. I traded a 16 Denali 2500 for it and agree the seats are firm. But, I'm a big guy (300 ish) and appreciate the firm seats. Two things I've noticed is there is certainly more torque than my 16 but the fuel mileage is worse. I use to get 17 mpg in mixed driving and 20/21 on the highway. Now that is down to 15 mixed and about 18 (at best) on the highway.

[@frederickhaines3080]

I bought a 2021 2500 AT4 three months ago with the DuraMax. It’s totally awesome. I use it for a work truck, and really for most everything. Took a 2500 mile road trip and averaged 20.5 at about 70 MPH...a lot of flat road. Mountains, it fell to 18.8 MPG. For me, a great fit for my work/life style. A tad expensive however....your review is spot on.

[@AutoAcademics]

Yeah, they're definitely not cheap, Frederick Haines, but you have yourself a wonderful and capable truck. Enjoy it and thanks for watching!

I was going to reply with the same thing. HD AT4 have the same suspension/torsion bar setup as the other HD 4x4; the HD AT4 just gets rancho shocks. Only the fullsize (1500) AT4 and Trailboss get a suspension lift from the factory; Not the HD AT4.

I own the Denali version this truck in the same color. Yup. It’s massive but it drives so smooth for an HD. It is my daily commuter and super comfortable. I don’t consider it my “work” truck but it is good to know that I can do just about anything you want with it whenever I want.

I’ve seen a new 2500 with the 1500 mirrors maybe an option when building one

[@bret9741]

You covered this review so well. Darn nice truck. I can’t wait to see the 2022 interior redo. GM likes to put grey headliners on all their vehicles… this truck should have a black headliner. It looks richer in my opinion I build homes and occasionally remodel. I sold my pickup and purchase an AWD 1-ton Ford Transit with the high cab and extended length. It has been transformative for my work. I’ll never go back to a pickup for this kind of work. In this one ton van, I can carry all my tools and standard supplies plus it’s configured so I can still load pallets in the back by moving some of the tools cases forward temporarily….. I use the Milwaukee pack out wall mounts. But wow…. GMC should pay you to sell……… I’m serious thinking about looking at the 2022’s as soon as the new interiors are available. That color and the height and size of the truck is nearly perfect. I actually prefer it over the Raptor because it gives me a lot more payload and towing capacity.

[@cjskayakfishing6108]

Watched several reviews on this truck. This was the most well done and thorough. This is the one that pushed me over the edge to buy the 2022 version of this truck. Thanks!

No 2" lift on the HD 2500 AT4. All the HD are just that tall and can feel like they are lifted when you compare them to the typical 1500. The HD AT4 have the same suspension/torsion bar setup as the other HD 4x4; the HD AT4 simply gets rancho shocks. Only the fullsize (1500) AT4 and Trailboss get a suspension lift from the factory; Not the HD AT4. Great review, though. I like your presentation style.

Bought the exact same truck just a few months ago and dealer is now offering me $9k over what I paid when I bought brand new! The market is crazy! Love my truck, already have 12k miles on it and it runs strong!

[@AutoAcademics]

Wow, that's crazy, Dave Haye! But we're not surprised. The market is hot and (new and used) vehicles are becoming scarce due to the chip shortages and plant shutdowns. You're lucky you got yours when you did. 👍🏾 Enjoy it and thanks for watching!

[@Javier03Li]

I’ll get it when the interior gets redesigned

[@marka.crowley5584]

I own a 2020 with the 6.6 gas motor and the long bed. I did NOT pay what the dealer asked for it...and I had to order the truck. I couldn't find a long bed anywhere in Texas. I tow a 2000 lb. trailer ever so often and very frequently have a ton of some kind of construction materials in the bed....because I can. It gets me up and down the hills on my hunting lease and the family to Church on Sunday. I've driven it in last February's snow and in mud. Is it a great off-road truck? Obviously, there are better trucks for that It does not have a 2" lift...none of the 2500s are lifted standard tho you can have the dealer do most anything to the truck. As for a review, I submit the best recommendation I could give is if someone asked me would I buy it again, I would definitely say yes.

Depends if you tow. If you do tow RVs it is definitely worth it. Diesel torque and heavy duty chassis is the only way to go if you tow that big.

[@AutoAcademics]

They are pricey, CCC33, but here in GA, they're like luxury vehicles and people would rather spend 80 grand on this than a Benz. This engine alone was $10k. Fortunately, there are more affordable options, too. Thanks for watching!

I would only buy a truck for working around the house and towing, other than an SUV would be more in my arena. I would drive this GMC Sierra across the country with a cover the trunk for bad weather and storage items.

[@AutoAcademics]

Yeah, it definitely depends on your personal life, aperxmim. Here in Georgia, pickups are as popular than cars (sports, luxury, etc. combined) so stuff like this is highly coveted. Many people would rather get one of these for free than a nice Benz. They're nice, and expensive, but there's definitely a market for them. I'd take the SUV with the "permanent cover" over the back for trips, though. 😜 Thanks for watching!

[@AutoAcademics]

Frankly, most light duty full-size pickups are too much for most people, E H, so we wouldn't say this HD is too much because it drives so well. But it is A LOT of truck if you don't have serious stuff to tow it haul and it can be a chore to park, so save some money in purchase price and fuel and get a light duty or even midsize truck. Just our opinions, though. And if you get the HD, we won't be upset with you. 😜 Hope this helps a bit and thanks for watching!

There are just so many reviewers that falsely assume the HD AT4 has a lift just because the fullsize AT4 has one and because HD trucks are just so massive. Then they say it in reviews and can't/don't go back and correct it so it perpetuates the false assertion that the HD AT4 has one as long as that video is up. I've even been in a discussion, in youtube comment section of another video, with an owner that insists his HD AT4 has a lift from the factory. Ha. I urged him to go to a dealership and compare his rear suspension and torsion bar setup, and stance of the truck, with a non-AT4 HD. If owners incorrectly argue that their HD AT4 has a lift, there is likely no hope that a reviewer will get it right. Ha.
