Same here, love my off-road steps that I was lent “looking” for but they came with my AT4. Just put some 3M grip tape on them yesterday.

Grip tape is a good idea. The funny part about these steps is when rocks hit them. They are loud with that top metal plate! I'll be putting the larger splash guards on this week or so, see if that reduces the rock clang.

Added Black AT4 emblems all around and black exhaust tips since my original post

Put in a few photos of now and one when first leveled with stock wheels.  Probably going to switch from a level kit to full coilover lift kit from BDS in the near future, to correct the cv axel geometry in the front and improve the offroad capability of the truck.  As is, great on the road (good ride etc.), but only good for 10 mph or less offroad in any kind of terrain - my 14 Raptor with fox coilovers was very impressive on and off road - hoping to get to that same level with the AT4 with BDS lift and Fox coilovers.

We just bought the 2020 GMC 1500 AT4 in May. This is the first truck that I've seen that I really love. The pictures on this forum are great. I may post some of my own pictures. I've read a bit about issues with bed covers and my truck came with one installed. Unfortunately, it was not a proper cover for the carbon Pro bed and the dealer / installer cut jagged holes in the bed to force the installation. Now, I'm trying to find out how to get the bed fixed and what I'm finding is that the entire bed needs to be replaced. Has anyone else had issues like this?

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. 

Doubt it, since 2020, all the Sierra sold here (in Tijuana) are Mexican-made and I've seen a few CarbonPros with nacional plates.

Oh hell naw! The dealer cut holes in a carbon bed? I'd have them replace for sure!

That seems to be a big problem for some reason unknown to me. The dealers (2 in my area) don't seem to know anything about the Carbon Fiber bed. If they did, perhaps this would not have happened. They also don't seem to think it can be repaired / replaced. Again, they don't know anything about the Carbon fiber bed and apparently haven't been trained. They are telling me that it will be less expensive to replace the truck. It makes you wonder what would happen in an accident where the bed was damaged. Hopefully, this will get resolved but, it has been 6 weeks now. To the uninformed or untrained, the bed looks like a plastic bed cover. The other problem is that it is not clearly stated anywhere that the Carbon Pro bed doesn't support industry standard GMC 1500 bed accessories.

Got some 35's put on to replace my loud, out of balance Duratracs. Found a guy that said he put 285/75R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (35.1") on a 19' AT4 with zero trimming....

not the case for me. I've got a little rub on the mud flaps but should be easy to fix.

Has anyone been able to order the Carbon Pro package in Western Canada? I just stumbled on this config looking for a truck and I think this is the one. Just waiting to hear back from our local dealer to see if they even know what it is...

I didn't really want to do the carbon fiber box when I got mine. Aside from it costing an extra 5 grand, sure you lose 60 lbs that should help with mileage, but you also lose that extra weight that you need in the winter time to let the tires dig down through the snow to grab some solid ground.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
