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.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
