There’s pictures of 2020 AT4 HD in Carbon Metallic in a current post on this forum’s Facebook page.

Yeah I tried finding it there and unfortunately I couldn't. The above picture looks not far from what I already saw...a black/gray...thanks!

What do you all think of the "black chrome" grille on the 1500 AT4 Carbon Pro?  I love the charcoal gray 20" wheels, but is that gray grille too much on the black?  If you all purchased a black Carbon Pro, would you leave the stock gray grille or switch out for a black?

Personal preference, but I found the black chrome trim to look a little off on a black truck. Like it was trying to match but didn't. Not enough contrast for my taste. White paint seemed like too much contrast so I chose the only other color available - satin steel. I think it looks pretty good with the 20" gray wheels. 

 

One thing I don't like is the chrome side mirror caps that I think comes with the tech package. It's the only real chrome trim on the whole truck. I think it's just a part of the Tech package that wouldn't matter on the other trucks but on the black chrome CarbonPro it looks off. I might look around for black caps or see if I can remove the chrome caps. Not a huge thing but something I notice.

Carbon black is the color on the AT4 grill surround, etc.   it’s a cool color, but I wasn’t about two wait for the “late availability” color.

Traded in my 2015 Silverado LT 5.3 last Saturday on the 2020 Carbon Pro in Onyx Black, love the new truck and all the features.

 

We need to see some pictures of your new ride.

Trading in my '19 Satin Steel AT4 tomorrow for a '20 Onyx Black AT4 Carbon Pro completely loaded, with dealer installed options:  performance package, hard tri-fold tonneau, off-road steps, wheel locks, and 20" carbon gray wheels.  Nothing wrong with my '19, just saw the carbon pro and had to have it.  It was built on 2/12/20 in Fort Wayne and just came off the delivery truck two days ago.  Taking delivery tomorrow at high noon.  Very excited which is weird because I have a '19 AT4.  But, the carbon pro just looks bada**.  Can't wait to throw some BFG AT2's on it in a bigger size, and have fun always cleaning and polishing the black paint.  90% of my vehicles have been black, so I don't mind.  It's a "work" of love ?

That's sweet man.  I don't plan on getting out of mine for awhile.  I don't want to take it in the shorts on trade-in, not to mention the money I spent in ceramic coating, tint, tires, and Borla Exhaust on this one.  I need to at least get some use and enjoyment out of my upgrades.

 

Post some pics when you receive delivery ?

Thanks man!  Sounds like you've done a lot to your vehicle, so I don't blame you for keeping it.  What color is yours?  I am considering ceramic coating mine since I live in the Northeast.  And, I certainly don't blame you for wanting to get some enjoyment out your '19...it's still almost new.  I am blessed in that my company provides me a very generous monthly stipend toward a car payment.  Plus, they pay my insurance and gas which makes driving a beast like this more tolerable and easier to trade in my '19 for the '20.  If that wasn't the case, there is no way I would be trading already ? 

 

I plan to take a bunch of pics while it's freshly detailed in the delivery bay today.  Lord knows it will never look like that again ?

Wow, that's a nice perk!  They hiring  lol  Mine is the Silver Steel Metallic.  Only a Double cab with the 5.3 though... I have to pay my own note ?  Actually, leasing this one again.  I will probably buy this one out, provided I don't start having transmission issues, or leaking window issue that can't get resolved.  Fingers crossed.

I love the double cabs...they look really sporty.  And no need to say ONLY the 5.3...that's a hell of an engine with more than enough power.  And, do you mean silver steel metallic, or Satin steel metallic?  Mine is the satin steel and haven't heard of a silver steel.  I have read a little about the window leaking issue, but my '19 built on 7/4/19 nonetheless, has had no issues including leaking rear window.  I hope whatever the issue is, it's been fixed before my '20 was built on 2/12/20.  

 

I see you live in Indiana...my '20 was built at the Fort Wayne  plant, and my '19 at the Mexico plant.  Hope they have good build quality at Fort Wayne ?

Yes, Satin steel Metallic.  It's late and i'm ready to go home  lol  (Hate working 3rd shift)  I'm only about 50 min away from the GM plant.  The 5.3 is plenty for what I need.  It is just the Cherry on top to have the 6.2, and in 2019, the 10 speed transmission wasn't available on the 5.3, so I'm stuck with the 8 speed.

 

I haven't had any leaking problems yet...but there has been a large handful of people here on this forum and on FB that have.  Some have been repaired successfully, others are going in for the 2nd and 3rd time.  I think it all depends on the quality of the tech that is doing the repairs.

All this chatter about this truck really has me excited.  Local dealer says they've a Carbon Metallic one coming off the line for them in a couple weeks, and then I hope to see it in person.  From then it'll just be a decision around that color vs. Onyx Black.  Other than that, after measuring the bed length, my scoot *just* fits where the back wheel sits on the tailgate-proper.  Hoping I can wrangle somewhat of a good deal if this goes forward.

I think all the CarbonPros are built in Ft Wayne. The carbon bed supplier is located right outside Ft Wayne in Huntington, Indiana. This C&D article says a little more about it.  My truck has been great so far - no quality issues yet. I like the idea that the truck is built in my home state.

    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
