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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
