Hey Folks,

 

I'm still hung up on my final decision from upgrading from my 2017 All Terrain to a '19 AT4 or Denali. However, I believe I am 5'11 and feel really small next to a AT4. Is it because of my height or just because that new factory lift really makes a difference? For those that moved up from 2017 or similar Sierra to a AT4 have you had any weird height difference feelings about the truck? I'd like to know because standing next to one on the front lawn of my dealership I felt really small next to it. Thanks.

Current height of my AT4 to the top of my shark fin is 84.5" I don't fit in any garage under 7'6" (I don't risk it anyways) Maybe it's my napoleon complex but I'm 5'6" 180# and I traded in an '18 To

I'm the same height as you and I can't even get into a stock K2 without running boards. I can't imagine clambering into an AT4 every day, even with assist steps.  Those Tacomas are cramped. Les

5’6” here, after opening the door, I get a running start and leap in.   I consider it part of my daily cardio workout.....  ???   Seriously though, love the truck.

I went from a 2017 HC to the 19 AT4, I'm 5'9" and without the tailgate down, there is no way I can reach anything in the box from outside when standing in the ground.  The new trucks are definitely taller.  I love the extra height when driving around, able to see the roofs of most other vehicles.

Jesus. Didn't know it was that much. Time to whip out the ol'measuring tape to see if it would fit in the garage.

 

Edit 2019 AT4: 78.4 inch in height | 2017 73.8 inch in height. Holy flamingo.

I'm 5'11 as well, but I'm also 265lbs and pretty broad shouldered.

 

My previous rig was a 5th Gen 4Runner and I felt too big for it at times.

Yeah, this is why I went with an RST and not an AT4 or TB. They AT4/TBs were just too big for me when I stood next to them. I'm 5'11", too, and coming from my 2007 LT CC, those lifted trucks just felt huge. 

 

I think the AT4 hides it better, though, especially with the 20" wheel package. It doesn't look as "high" as the TB does from afar. 

 

Also, I have an older garage, and the shark fin on my '19 RST with 20"s just barely fits in... so a TB/AT4 would have been left outside in the DFW hailstorms this spring, which I didn't want to suffer through.

Yah these trucks are pretty tall, the floor height is tall as well. I dont have running boards and my TB floor is about the same height my 99 with a 6" lift and 35s was.

BTW the rim size has nothing to do with the overall height on these trucks. There overall diameter of the tires are the same for the 18" and the 20" wheels. It's purely cosmetic...

Those Tacomas are cramped. Less interior space than my compact car.

Good reason to get side bars so I could climb in. I just tried it without, forget it. I'm 5' 10" and it is much taller. I'm getting much older too!

Here's a different point of view. I'm 6'3" 260 and 65 yrs young. I came from an F150 Lariat. Had to bend my head to get in the door.

The AT4 is a perfect fit for me. At 5'11, I don't think you'll have a problem especially with side steps. It is a bit of a drop when you get out. My other half almost fell the first time she got out.

I'm 5'9 - The truck is big but there is something about it. Outside of a heavily lifted truck  or semis you are the tallest thing on the road.  The multi-pro tailgate makes all of the height/bed issues go away....

 

It really is a fantastic truck..

I'm big on keeping my truck in the garage. With the new AT4 height I'm pretty sure it would hit the pull / support arm of the garage door as it goes into the garage. I believe however that a SLT or Denali could fit.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
