I took some pics this morning of my truck next to a 21 to show some differences.  The new "high clearance" assist steps are very nice.  Also, the ride height looks quite a bit taller on the 21.  My truck has 3K miles on it.  The difference looks to be more than just the tire size. (275/65R18 vs 275/60R20)  It could be a combination of suspension settling and the 1" tire diameter difference.

Anymore pictures of those steps??? They look sweet! I've been wanting some Raptor look alike steps since I couldn't afford or didn't want to afford a Raptor ($97k can)

Mine will be about this height soon, I have the ready lift UCA and a 0.75" spacer until I can get the bilsteins.

The 21 also is missing the lower part of the chin spoiler.  I wonder if they did away with that for the 21's?

Good eyes on that one.. i trimmed it on my Ram, I may do the same to my AT4, unless I get an ADD bumper.

You dont have to trim it.  The lower part un-bolts.

Just take off the 12 small screws and the lower part comes off.  I actually had mine off but then I installed a front hitch for a home plow and ended up putting mine back on.  Hides the hitch better.

Is that new step available from GM or somewhere? Curious on the mount underneath. On my 2020 AT4 step, the bracket hangs way below the already lower step and causes ground clearance issues on break over angle. If these new steps are much higher/lower profile, id be interested in buying a set.
Thanks.

They are on the GMC accessories page.  They are EXPENSIVE.  I was going to get some but they are too close to the price of an AMP powerstep and I would rather have those.

I just scored a set of the AT4 high clearance steps (take-offs) and put them on my Trail Boss....love em...AMP steps no longer wanted.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
