I am torn between the two. Who has them and what are the pros and cons of each one? I live in Charlotte, NC but the wife and I own property in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The property is pretty remote down gravel roads and sees occasional snow. They will go on my 2014 Sierra 1500 4X4 Z71 which has a 3" front and 1" rear leveling lift kit. I want to fit 33x12.5R18s on my factory wheels.

I have the AT2s and there's nothing bad to say about them at all. Consider the nitto ridge grapplers too......

I have had the AT2's and currently have the RT's. I prefer the RT's. They work really good in snow and sand too. Ride is the same as the AT2's and so is road noise which isn't bad. Also something to note, both sets I'm speaking of are 10 ply

I've also had the AT2 (295/55/20) and the RTs (33x12.5x20) on two different trucks. My buttmeter says the AT2 are smoother than the RTs which are by no means harsh. The AT2 is also quieter but again the RTs are not loud by any means. Looks wise the RT has a tougher looking tread and sidewall. Overall fuel mileage the AT2 have about a 1.5-2mpg advantage versus the RTs.

RT's have a little hum but nothing crazy noticeable unless your listening for it.....I just put nitto ridge grapplers on my wife's jeep in 35s and they looks more agressive then the Toyo RT's and are pitch quite. Plus they were a bit cheaper

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.

      Ac not keeping up

      I don’t have detailed measurement data, but this past March we were hiking and camping in Death Valley and the Las Vegas area when this Spring’s heat wave hit with 105 plus temperatures and our 2021 L8T system kept our crew cab as cool as we wanted it (68F setting) with no trouble. Fan flows on auto once stabilized were fairly low. It seems like the OP’s system should be performing better.

      Yes that's correct on the route to Durango - we just followed what google maps recommended.  That is quite the pass btw - very steep going back down.  I didn't even need manual mode - I just used cruise control and set the truck at 50 I think when it was a 45 posted speed and for the most part it just held it there by keeping it in the right gear - everyonce in awhile there is a sharper turn that I just braked for - but it was pretty smooth going down it on both sides.  Amazing views around there for sure - we had no real time to stop, were on the clock for a set-up time, but we did stop in some 2 horse town somewhere a couple hours oustide of Durango in the middle of nowhere for burgers.   And yes - lots up up and downs on the Durango trip but I think it's a big difference going 70 vs. going 80-83 with the aero in play with these big trucks.  Even the much smaller Colorado does reallt bad on gas going up over 70, I think I would have been lucky to get 18 on that trip in the Colorado honestly.  The full size is definately more comfy for a long road trip too, and the amount of gear we had would have meant two vehicles if I still had the Colorado.
