GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 OFF-ROAD Package Review (3L Duramax) | EVERYTHING You Need to Know!

[@ForgivenNotForgotten]

Lets be real. Most people buy AT4 because they look dope as hell lol. People dont tend to legit offroad a $60k pickup truck

[@azpacfan]

Why not. I wouldn't do crazy trails but still would get it dirty off roaring a bit

[@johnmeeboer6044]

I agree

[@claysmurthwaite2386]

The whole point of getting this trim is to go in the bush

[@keiththibodeau8607]

Fully agree. I'll use mine for some dirt roads but mostly on road. I appreciate it not being weighed down by did plates I didn't need and efficiency on the highway.

[@erickmorales1703]

I take mine out quite often and off road it in 8 states so far in 1 year and it’s been really good. I have 30k miles on it already

[@jonshields437]

My son bought one 3 months ago. Super versatile and decent off road. ..not At4x capable but thumbs up everywhere else

Best trucks on the market. I hammer down on my g80 for years and never breaks on me. I tow alot and haul lots of payload. Good review

[@GettysGarage]

Thank you sir! I had a 96 GMC k1500 with a G80 locker. Loved it! truck had 450,000km on it and the G80 was still working.

[@michaelpanacheese604]

@TheGettyAdventures now that's a real beauty. 3.0 babymax does it have power? I like to hammer down on my trucks in tough solutions

[@bennyb6071]

had a chevy blazer with g80, works great and tough

[@zeenoorani7814]

You can indeed get the 3.0 in the Custom and LT Trailboss. In 2023 you were not able to get the 3.0 diesel in the ZR2, but the 2024 will offer the 3.0 diesel.

[@GettysGarage]

Good to know!

[@Killerloop357]

Yep , Absolutely true. That's what I'm running now. Very Happy with it. Motor is smooth and torquey. Super fuel efficient. Only drawback, it sounds like my wife's buick encore. Barely can hear it. The 6.2 V8 with a good exhaust is in a whole different category. What would i do if I could roll back the clock on this purchase ? hmmmmm

[@tbonafied1742]

I believe the AT4x does address some of this trucks omissions, except for the 3.23 axle. But that comes with e-locking front and rear diffs, and additional skid plates, including the gas tank if I remember correctly. It’s only available with the 6.2 gasser though and is quite a bit more expensive. I think this AT4 is more for occasional light off-roading, and is still a nice truck and more capable than most buyers will ever need.

[@davidporter7051]

I have a 3.0 Z71. I do more off-roading than the average truck owner. The Trail Boss and AT4 is overkill for the majority of truck owners.

[@josephina24]

My '10 Nissan Frontier has a 3.13 gear ratio 🥲 So gutless, and still gets only 15-17 mpg on a good day. Decently reliable though, besides the junk rear axle lol. The C200k is a far insuperior axle to the M226 that came in the Pro4x

[@GettysGarage]

I think this package is a nice landing spot between the z71/x31 packages and the full blown zr2/at4x packages. and I agree most buying will drive these things to the mall and tow the odd 3,000lbs trailer.

[@Misfit_Z71]

This truck is perfect for the truck enthusiast that would use this as a daily driver and likes to go light - moderately challenging offroading.

[@robedmund9948]

This truck is great for towing my '93 Jeep Cherokee XJ on a trailer. When the truck can't go any further, the XJ takes over. ;-)

[@slamm1t]

Thank you very much for these videos. I just bought an AT4X AEV and honostly it is a whole other league from my Tacoma. I know nothing of diesels, and not much of an overlander, but im retired now and looking for some adventure. These videos help give me some understanding of this beautiful monster. 😂

[@agerardomp]

Greetings Alex. GMC gets an honorable mention for its 3.0-liter diesel engine as it's highly efficient, reliable, and perfect for light off-roading. In the style of the Professional Grade of course; any aristocrat would like to have it. Just remember that he has an older brother; Yes, the GMC AT4X is relentless on more challenging purposes. Thanks for your video Alex; My best wishes and BLESSINGS FOREVER! 🙏

[@GettysGarage]

The AT4x is another step up forsure! Hopefully get to test it out someday! but I do really like that 3L duramax.

[@FullaBullz]

Beautiful truck. By far GMC are some of best looking 1/2 ton on the market today.

[@GettysGarage]

Ya I think the new GMC's look wonderful

[@mauriciocastro6363]

What tires are those? They look great. The largest stock tire size are 20".

[@BOBBYSNOW-fh4gf]

I take my 2023 3.0 off road up the mountains. With the extra ground clearance and off road tires. It does relatively well. I had a 2020 high country 6.2 , without 2in lift and all season bridestone 22” alenza’s it was best on highway.

[@wipatriot510]

The items you mentioned, e-locker(s), xtra skid plates, etc, you want to look at the GMC AT4X, or the Chev ZR2 packages... 2024 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss LT, 3.0l LZO came in the truck, ordered by the dealership, purchased by me...

[@alexalexx8095]

I got a 2021 older body style. Great truck so far. Had it for 1.5 year and 42km

[@InuranusBrokoff]

Yours looks better than the new ones. I was a little bummed out by the redesign.

[@greghartmann3396]

How could the "absolute most important upgade" be tow hooks? Correct me if I'm wrong but all of the new Sierra trucks come with tow hooks, those are just red. Currently awaiting delivery on my Sierra elevation which is basically the same truck without the 2 in lift. Black tow hooks are included.

[@chrisjohnston7608]

If anyone is considering buying a truck because they want to get into off roading just do yourself a favor and buy the Power Wagon, it can not be beat from any stock truck from the factory, you will not regret it.

[@GettysGarage]

Now that is some factual stuff right there. The PW is by far the most capable truck off the factory line with the most offroad focused components. I will say though it is a larger truck so if you are looking to get into smaller places it can be a little difficult. but if the truck will fit, the PW will get through just about anything.

[@bobbertee5945]

But….. it’s a Dodge…. No thanks

[@lyleswavel320]

Buy a Tremor, steer away from dodge, worst body ever I like a truck that is quiet and doesn't seem to be falling apart from the inside out

[@DH-hp7nv]

I really like that you didn’t worry about the soft touch materials and didn’t even look at the infotainment screen, as most reviewers talk about it endlessly. This truck imo is ok. It looks good outside. Interior could use some repairs. But overall I couldn’t see giving the money they want for these things. There are better out there.

[@TryingYourLvck]

like what? asking for reference, looking to upgrade from a f150 work truck. im looking for all the bells and whistles but something that i can take on some light off roading. had my eyes on the new Canyon at4x too lol

[@thereefaholic]

Them tires seem a bit low profile for off road. And what about a cat converter anti theft plate.

[@roys.3474]

What are the best tires for this truck im picking mine up tomorrow hopefully

[@markb.1259]

Great video! I know this video is a year old, maybe options have changed, but I was just as a Chevy dealer a month ago and I could have sworn the Trail Boss I looked at had the 6.6L (gas) engine in it??

[@mrwigglebutz5061]

How do these hold up with city driving? My commute is a maximum of 10 miles, but is 100% city. I currently own a 2023 Tundra (8,500 mi). I love the truck, but the premature engine failures have me concerned. Dealers aren't even accepting 22/23 trades because of the issue and toyota dealerships can't sell impacted inventory until their is a fix. I bought the extended warranty because i planned to have this 15 years but not if an engine blows!

[@craig3818]

Where did she get those mud flaps, i have the same truck, and i like them

[@folly-1765]

Truck Hardware Gatorback mud flaps, I like them too and did some digging.

[@Elienguitar]

What's your MPG on regular highway driving?

[@robedmund9948]

Still wrapping my head around the idea of a 6.2L gasser being an upgrade over the 3.0L diesel. Weird. No diesel with the Trail Boss must be a Canadian thing. It's available in the U.S. in the Trail Boss.

[@patrickklepper3641]

Can anyone confirm if the AT4/Trailboss package reduces overall fuel economy on the Duramax diesel? 21/23 on the AT4 vs 24/26 on a regular 4wd diesel???

[@LindsayPeters987]

Great review, and great haircut!

[@GettysGarage]

the haircut is the critical factor for performance

[@richardoaks3597]

I have the 3.0 duramax in my trail boss and it’s the LZ0. I’ve read and watched online that they can’t fit the diesel engines inside the Yukon at4/ Yukon xl at4/ Tahoe z71/ suburban z71 because of the engine size.

[@GettysGarage]

So from your comment and several other I guess the newer trail boss can get the duramax seems like 2023 + which is a nice thing because the 3L duramax is a great engine option.

[@EFFTrudeau-001]

​@TheGettyAdventures it's the best 1/2 ton motor overall from all brands. Yes you don't get 8 cylinder gasser sound but in all other terms the best

[@muskyhunter47]

Reason for blocking the license plate? Complete strangers see it everyday when you are driving or parked somewhere. Always found that odd

[@dopeboyp3487]

Just finalized a deal on a 24 AT4 today, and it’ll be delivered tomorrow morning. Got it in Thunderstorm Gray w/ the 3.0… Can’t wait! One minor correction, you can get the 3.0 Duramax in a Trail Boss. I cross shopped it before deciding to roll with the GMC.

@@ReelDealp I believe you are correct. I haven’t spotted a single one with black wheels. I uploaded 2 “amateur” videos of my truck if you want to check it out.

[@chadgau2808]

The fenders are so dumb, while they are spacious vertically, horizontally there is very little space preventing upgrading wheels and tires to larger sizes that are measurable. Without cutting things.

[@GettysGarage]

I used to think the fenders were odd, but with this truck they seems to work well. I agree that the squared off look does limit larger tires

I have been on the fence with getting this truck due to the complaints I see about it burning oil... Can anyone comment on this about how this could be avoided if you have any knowledge on it?

[@GettysGarage]

I think the 5.3L and the 6.2L engine have been known to burn oil. there have been some rumour of the new 3L burning oil but it's hard to confirm

[@Null_Null_Null]

@@GettysGarage interesting, I've got about 35k on my 2021 5.3L and haven't had any oil burn. But thanks for the info!

[@Null_Null_Null]

After some more research I've seen a trend in comments that it usually burns oil when towing or carrying any decent load

[@EFFTrudeau-001]

Almost all motors burn oil

[@usmcoverlander5947]

I had one back in 2019, but I sold it a road really rough!

[@paulbutler5067]

@@GettysGarage from what I can tell, the max towing package comes with 3.42 gears if you get the 6.2 V8 or 3.73 gears with the 3.0 diesel. I am considering getting a new High Country with the diesel and max towing package to replace my 2019 RST 5.3 V8. I really like my 2019 but I also really like the efficiency of the small diesel. Interestingly, the High Country Chevy comes standard with the 2-speed transfer case. Other modes require the Trail Boss or Z71 packages to get that.

[@ashbringer5999]

This truck is way better than Trailboss more luxurious and skid plates metal. Trailboss skid plate is plastic and feels cheaper than this truck that’s why I am upgrading to an AT4 I really love duramax engine.

[@gtileo]

Your power wagon also has larger tires than this AT4 so the shorter 4.10 gear makes up a bit for the already longer ratio that comes with the larger tires. Realistically though, how many people that buy these AT4 actually use them for anything more then construction site off roading. Lol honestly even a RWD truck can do that. These are just for show
