Ok..Some basic math here. If a AT4X is around 80k , will this truck be around 90-100K?  And for the love of whiskey , can you please give us 35s?

Of course they would announce this just months after they delivered my 2022 AT4X 😀

 

seems like just a bunch of bolt on options and better skids plates, but the integrated winch is cool. Probably $90k I would guess

 

installed a 1.75” level today and on 34s and wish it came from the factory like this but still think they should make possible to run real 35x12.50 tires and keep the DSSV suspension, makes no sense. Love the look of the truck overall and interior amazing!

Wow looks great! I'd definitely side this over a Raptor. 

I would definitely have to see the price point.  Not sure if you have driven the Gen3 raptor but its badass.  Both nice trucks, unfortunately the Raptor has huge mark ups.  I wonder if the AEV AT4x will experience the same??

Yes I've driven the latest raptor, just wanted to test drive. It's too expensive for my hard earned dollar, but that's the only Ford I'd own lets be honest 🤣. Chances are likely that they will see markups. Locally, I haven't seen any brand new trucks go over MSRP.

My nephew has a new Raptor. The shop Forman has the TRX. Both were in the high 70s. The AT4x will have a lot to live up to. After riding in those the Ram is breathtaking to experience. If GM doesn’t add some punch it will be lame by comparison for the price.

No amount of ego, pride or satisfaction is worth $70-$80 K for a vehicle.

I’m with you there. In their  cases. They just happened to buy vehicles just before the chip shortage. Got insane offers on their trade ins that mitigated the difference. Basically out the door at mid range price. The shop Forman had a two year old one ton diesel. Very hard to find. He made out like a bandit. Low 50s out the door in both cases.

GM needs to step up its game with either a supercharged truck or a hybrid truck because slapping more off-road goodies on the machine and adding front lockers isn’t going to cut it up against Raptors or TRXs.  Adding more weight is only going to hurt the performance even more. 
It’s crazy to me why GM doesn’t throw in the LT4.  
 

oh wait let’s push EVs when they can’t even tow a damn little camper for more than 87 miles.  Complete joke.

Feels alot better to have cash sitting in the bank vs. the driveway. 😉

The most we’ve ever paid for our personal vehicle was 31K it was CPO 2011 Genesis. My Avalanche was 6500$. The 2015 CRV was my mother in law’s who stopped driving. Our trip car. They all could pass as near new looking. Many times I mentioned when I was still working I bought a new truck every 2-3 years. I did lots of driving and my business covered those. I even shopped deals for those. The collector vehicles I had carried their own weight. I would be in quite of a dilemma these days. Only if my trade in was inflated. Could I pay even sticker for a new one. I’d wait it out. I’m too used to 12-15K discounts. I’ve bought specialty type vehicles for higher amounts. Knowing the difference would still be there when I sold them. We have an Acura intagra type r. We paid 24k in 2001. It’s worth 4 times. The TRX is probably in that category. I’d drive it awhile. Relegate it to ( Sunday driver) sell in 20 years. Like we’re doing with the Acura.

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
