Got it. It’s hard not to be excited about this engine with all that it offers. I feel it really checks all boxes for my needs as a family hauler for our long trips to visit family 3 hours away and bei

As of today 6100.  Love the power and the growl of the motor, it sounds like a truck....LOL. Least favorite, sensor issue and now problems with the navigation system.  Should be scheduling an appointment with the dealer first of next week.  Almost forgot, love the MPG!!!  Average is about 7MPG over my last 5.3.

Thank you guys for your replies. I’m looking at picking one up myself when the 2021 come out. Curious what your payload is on your trucks as well. Will be pulling a small travel trailer between 18-22’.

I got mine Feb 27th and I'm at 10700 already. Best thing I like, the fuel mileage, the least thing, The lack of power on the top end or the ability to do any mods. That's a little unfair tho as I came from a procharged, headers back exhaust, fully tuned 6.2 with about 10psi of boost.

My 2020 Silverado LT Crew Cab Z71 Short-bed inside door sticker:

 

GVWR: 7200

Curb Wt: 5478

Payload: 1722

GTW: 9300

Max Tongue Wt: 1080

 

Pulling a 23' travel trailer of roughly 5000 lbs with tongue weight approaching 700lbs is very pleasant. Just get a good weight distributing hitch.

I bought mine on Feb 7th with 20 miles on it and now I've got around 16,500 miles.   It tows my 30ft toy hauler and 15ft enclosed trailer great, drives smoother than any other truck I've owned (and I owned a 2018 and 2019 F-150 before this), and gets really good fuel mileage (even after a 6" lift and some 35's)!   The only problem I've had with it was at about 2,500 miles one of the trans lines disconnected from the cooler.  All the dealer did was reattach the line and top of the fluid and I've had no problems since!  I love this truck!

 

Here's my sticker as well:

Bought my Sierra 2 weeks ago. I have just over 2000 miles on it. 1000 miles of that towing a 30'  6,800lb Travel Trailer.

 

Sold my 2.8L Duramax Canyon and 6.7L Cummins Ram 3500. This truck is the perfect compromise between the two.

 

Getting 28mpg unloaded and 12MPG towing.

Anyone with a GMC getting less than 30 mpg on the freeway? It seems the Chevy's do better by a few mpg due to their design upfront and overall packaging of bells and whistles.

Second tank probably driving was a little bit of everything mph wise saw 29.2 mpg. Read that the Chevy does a little better mph wise was going in that direction until this AT4 showed up. Picked it up last week in May and have a little over 3,000 miles on it, towes great so far.

Nice! I really like the aggressive stance of the AT4s. But I'm not a fan of the fancy tailgate, ha ha. Sorry, just can't do it.

Thanks!

I really had no desire to get into a GMC when I started shopping wasn't a fan of alot of things with them, I was originally after a Chevy RST, but saw this on a lot and just seemed right so it came home with me. I didn't think much of the fancy tailgate either at first but I really like it so far and it has come in handy and the wife enjoyed it on the stops on our trip.

Have you noticed it catching water? Also, curious to know what your payload is on your AT4.

      Aftermath of Repair of Leaking Brake Line

      By unit731 · Posted

      Thanks for response. Leak was right under drivers seat or thereabout.   Had checked by other mechanics and have read other information.   The solution can be a tad complicated and replacing multiple parts And with some.  The issue was still the same.   The brakes do work.   Just that the pedal is softer and goes further down.  But the brakes do work.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
