Thank you for the business once again Doug, it was a pleasure and lot of fun going over your new GMC Sierra AT4 with you!
Thanks Troy and thanks for helping with this video!!
That is a sweet ride. Love the exhaust
Question: How do you use the trailer light test function? I can get it to work with the GM app on my phone, but do not see any option on the truck screen to perform such. If you can or want to make a informative video on the process, than would be great.
If your truck is equipped with the Google Radio, which I’m just imagining it is. There is an icon on the radio screen via the home page that says trailering. Be careful because there are several icons and there are multiple pages, your trailering icon might be on page 2 so swipe that Home Screen on the right side of the screen on your finger then swipe it quickly left to pg 2 and you should see it. Hook up your trailering hit that icon then hit start light test from the screen. I’m just guessing that might be why you can’t find it. But, doing it the way you’re doing it from the phone app might actually be the easiest and best way doing it to be honest!
@@troydonovan7822 oh, I can find the icon on 'home" page. But "light test" is not listed under trailing or it is grayed out, I can't remember and I can't go check the truck at this time. But, I don't have a trailer. When using the phone app, which works with no trailer hooked up, the lights do flash in sequence over and over until i stop the test. So, in my mind, the test should work with no trailer when going in trailer icon on the infotainment screen. The problem with using the phone app is, I only have that for 3 years. I have no plans on renewing it. It is a 2024 Silverado LT 1500.
Very Nice truck.
To each his own - It comes with lots of cool do-dads that I personally would probably rarely use (or forget how to turn on 😀)
Great looking truck. I’m a Ford guy but GMC makes awesome trucks. My nephew has the new AT4 and loves it. Many happy miles to you!
I own a 23 F150 Tremor 3.5 and this really sounds awesome. Best stock sounding v8 on the market. Congrats it is a great truck
Thanks!
Beautiful property. Enjoy the truck. Kind of funny buying a 90K truck at your age because the exhaust sounds cool. Kind of like a 19 year old kid buying the mustang 5.0 back in the day. Enjoy the wheels.
Your sales guy knows his stuff, almost a forgotten art. Great looking truck, I know you will enjoy,
He sure does. I was very pleasantly surprised with all he was able to explain about the truck.
Thx Shane after almost 19 years I’ve finally learned some stuff!
Keep up the good work brother. They are lucky to have you.@@troydonovan7822
Hi Doug.
Great choice!!!
Wife and I bought a 2023 gas GMC 3/4 ton at4 last year. We use it to pull our 8000 lbs Rv. We love it so far.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
Ps ours has the 6.6 L and no I don't want to race😮😁
Oh, and ours is RED
Those GMC’s are the best looking truck on the road. I love my 2018 Tundra but I’m looking at the new AT4’s with the 3.0 Duramax
I have a new Denali Ultimate with the LZ0. Around town I average around 25-26mpg on the highway I get around 35mpg but I have seen as high as 40mpg.
@@JesseLJohnson the fuel mileage of the 3.0 Duramax and the and the looks of those GMC’s are a home run.
Don’t do it that Toyota reliable
That's a nice looking truck. All those electronics have me concerned about longevity though, especially if driven in a harsh winter climate. Looks like you're enjoying it already.
If it makes you feel better I have a 2019 ram Laramie and all of the electronics still work. All of them I’ve had the truck for 5 years
@@johnmorris77 Problem is the GM electronics SUCK. Had a Tahoe that was an electrical nightmare and the funny thing is when I bought it my Cousin who had the same Tahoe said oh lord you bought a new GM get ready for the electrical gremlins.
@@BrandonBigB956my 2003 gmc has heated seats memory seats dual climate control it had all sorts of electronic issues i would imagine they improved by now
Those ❄️ be rough
I ordered my 2024 AT4 in thunderstorm gray about a month ago and then GM went on strike. It may be awhile before I get it, but I just love the look and sound of this truck.
Dang, that sucks!!
Good luck!
Love my 2020 AT4 its been an amazing truck and no issues for the 4 years that I had it
I love my AT4 . I ordered mine just to get the 6’ bed and crew cab.. a must have combo..
Am so happy to see another sensible person staying away from the EVs and going with what works and will continue to work. I like the animation of your logo at the intro it is a great animation and logo..
Thank you!
Nice truck! I have a 2021 AT4 with the diesel. Absolutely love it!
Good to hear!
That color is great! I had to laugh when the dealer said the headliner is scoped out, so if you are 6' 5" , you'll be able to ride back here. ha ha Adam.
Beautiful truck, and the all the extra camera features will be useful too I am sure. Love the opening clip rippin’ ‘er up the driveway. And I love the colour ! My Dad is like you, he loves red! He’s on his second F-150 and both have been their darker red.
Congratulations, Doug. That's a beautiful truck and sounds awesome! I enjoyed watching you race down your driveway so we can hear the sport mode exhaust. Looks like it can really haul arse! Impressive mileage on your 2018 raptor!
Beautiful truck! I like your honest opinion. I’ve owned one ford myself. I am definitely a GM guy.
I have a 2021 GMC 2500 with the 6.6 gas engine it just turned 100,000 miles with 0 problems.Solid 19 mpg all around around
Thanks for this! Everyone else in life is so quick to point out the problems, and everything that is wrong with every vehicle in the world!
@@OneEyeCustoms U bet
Congrats! Solid video. I have the 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L) in red. For full "giddy-up" I use 91-octane + 8oz of race fuel (each, non-ethanol). You can run lower octane, but the 6.2L will roar if you can get the octane up to 93-95 octane (read the section in the owner's manual). The difference is VERY noticeable. Have fun!
Thanks for that tip!!!
Holy Crap Doug.... 378 cubic inches & 420hp!!! in a 1/2 ton !!! Better put some weight in that rocket ship for winter!! Love it!
THE weirdest thing happened during the viewing of this video🤔 VERY First time ever, your dealer was going through the features of the onboard computer and said OK-- Google 😂🤣 MY PHONE went into ok Google search 🤣😂 and pulsed the video! Way to funny neighbor Doug.
Hahahaha, that’s great!
I have a 2019 Ford Raptor and just drove a GMC AT4 1500 with the 6.2 V-8 and really liked the GMC but the 24 gallon fuel tank was a deal killer. The 36 gallon tank on the Raptor is really nice when towing.
I’ll keep my TRX ! , no pano ceiling ? I like the AT4 though
Great truck Doug best of luck with her! If you run out on your data plan, just hot spot your phone to the truck for your Google maps, etc. I am picking up my new 24 Sierra this week!
who doesn't like the sound of V8, lol........what is the world coming too
one of the sweetest sounds ever
That active exhaust sounds AMAZING that’s the only thing I don’t like about my 2023 Sierra AT4X it sounds like an EV exhaust compered to the new 2024 Active exhaust!
Great looking new truck. GMC has come a long way.
Just picked up our black AT4...love the vehicle. I had a 2011 raptor with the 6.2and it was a beast. Super dependable but very thirsty. Warranty is good on the GMC and 3 year data plan with wifi comes with the vehicle.
Congratulations, I’m enjoying mine also!
I love GMC trucks! I am amazed at the changes throughout the years. I have a 2016 Canyon with a Duramaxl. I love all of the new features your truck has. Im glad you got yours what with the strike and all. Keep us posted! See you in the next installment.
That at4 is sexy. I just got an elevation with a 5.3 in white. Wish i couod afford that at4. But im happy with my purchase. I like the squareness and over all look of gmc trucks.
Sounds great! Enjoy, I drive a '22 AT4 6.2 and always wanted a Raptor
Absolutely beautiful truck Doug, wishing you many happy miles and smiles 😊 your so lucky in the states to have such beautiful large trucks unlike here in Ireland .
Very nice, hope that 6.2L lifter issue has been fixed. Good luck. 👍🏻
I was told that it was not a problem in the 2024’s 🤞
I went from a gen2 raptor to a 21 at4 with 3.0. I miss my raptor.
Congratulations on the new truck Doug!! It is a nice looking one!! I am with you on the color I will always buy any color that’s white!!😂😂😂
Sorry to hear about your loss: Raptor LOOKS AWESOME !!!!
Raptors are trash.
I really like these trucks. Just wish they rode as nice as the raptor.
I agree, but this one is very close!!!
Congratulations Doug, Sweet Ride!👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
These new trucks are just pretty awesome machines! I currently have a F-150 but I don't really care about the name on the hood thing I think all 4 of the main truck manufacturers here in the US are making incredible trucks
I’ve driven them all. They are all fantastic if you’re coming from something 2013 or older
I like the 1500 Denali ultimate that has the Vader chrome and white.
Nice pickup, Doug. Enjoy it.
Me with my 23 f-150 I got in august already at 5k miles 😅
I'm fairly brand agnostic, but I had a 2019 Ford Edge ST. Great vehicle, quick (330HP, 330TQ), and super comfortable, but I did NOT want to be owning it when the warranty ran out. Didn't have any issues with it, but given all the electronics, twin turbos, etc, if something did break you know it would be expensive. About the same time we bought our farm, and it's also not a practical farm vehicle. Traded it for a 2021 Ford Ranger, and went the trade route for similar reasons. It actually took 5 months for them to get the Ranger, as I had to order it for the configuration I wanted. I kinda forgot about until they called me and I was "I ordered a truck? Oh, right, 5 months ago...". Pretty happy with the Ranger, although I miss a couple amenities the Edge had that weren't available on a Ranger.
lol 6.6 or nothing
Beautiful truck! Im the same way...out of warranty I get rid of them. Been traumatized by electric gremlings and bad transmissions putting fixes in the $5-10k range. Im not handy enough to fix complex stuff and Im very busy at work, the little time I have I want to spend it with my family not fixing a car.
Nice truck brother!
I would require a 24 hour tech support hot line button , for sure.
Similar to the one that the astronauts have.
I bought a new Denali Ultimate recently. I got the LZ0 though. Not like I had a choice at the time it was the only Ultimate I could find within 100 miles. Not sure I shouldn't have just got the 3/4 ton. I didn't know a 3/4 ton Ultimate existed when I got mine. I do already have another crew cab 8 foot 3/4 ton though and the 1/2 tons ride so much nicer for an everyday truck. I really like the LZ0 though. Crazy fuel mileage. When I run back and forth to home in SC to the other house I am at right now which must be pretty close to you since Titusville is pretty damn close to here. I got on average 35mpg on the 2 long trips I have taken from up here to back home or home to up here whatever. I have got as high as 40mpg. Actually thinking about maybe replacing my 19 Suburban with a new High Country Suburban, Yukon XL Denali Ultimate, or the Suburban length Escalade with the LZ0. I think in 24 they will have the LZ0 at least pretty sure 23 still had the LM2.
If I ever drop my 350, GMC is one my front runners. The column shifter is a requirement for me in my trucks though. If I'm reaching for the console to shift, it better be manual.
Good point!!
Haha, the salesman said you can run a circular saw off the 400 watt inverter. No. No you can't.
You are correct I guess I never knew circular saw(s) pulled so much wattage. Scratch that comment.
400W max off that plug in bed
Doug, I get the point about trading in due to the factory warranty. These vehicles are really laid out with all the comfort features but a regular DIY guy ain't gonna be able to fix em!
It would be nice if manufacturers would just make a regular truck! Good ole wind down windows with side vents , heater with 3 position fan switch. But that ain't never gonna happen!! Lol
But you do have a nice ride! Enjoy!
Nice choice Doug, now Adam will say neighbour Doug is on the road again. Now you can have some American Graffiti fun at stop lights. Like you mentioned you’ve opened up some new capabilities with this Truck that will add Smiles to your Neighbour Doug Skills as you travel the Miles. 😀👍👍👍
Congratulations, GMC is most incredible and capability vehicle in the world .
Perfect choice, you should develop a Doug version of a semiautomated undercarriage wash so you can drive your truck year round in any condition. Could use to clean equipment also, I would if I lived in the rust belt. I hate using a truck as a daily driver as well, complete waste of resources but nothing replaces the capability of a truck. My trucks have always had a hitch ball on 24/7 and that's mostly what I use them for. I generally don't buy anything newer than 8-10 years old because at 10 years and older registration and insurance drastically decreases where I am. You were definitely gambling keeping that Ford longer than 5 years even with the low mileage.😂
All these new trucks are really next level, hard to go wrong on a new truck these days! Did he mention you have to have a plan to lock unlock your truck with your phone? That would suck, I use this often with my ford app.
I come from a GM family and I've always been the black sheep a Ford lover lol. That AT4 does look like a hell of a truck I think fits your needs alot more a better hauler worker truck probably.
My truck list went from a 84 F150 to a 97 GMC Sierra then a beat up 2000 Silverado now back to a 95 F150 XLT as my work truck, Wife has a 2017 Ford Explorer XLT and my daily driver is a 2006 Ford Explorer XLT. Had a Dodge between the GM trucks but I refuse to say I owned a Dodge product worst experience I've had lol
I'm a Ford guy threw and threw 😆. Loved the video!!
Thank you
Nice truck, never thought of the tax advantages selling versa trading in.
Thank You
9000lb payload? Holy cow, thats amazing!
Tow capacity. Payload is less than 2000 lbs.
Hey Wait! is this the channel that discusses value for your purchase or up-build??? Guess not, OMG what the heck ~ Wholly Kow! Thanks for keeping the economy going! Good Luck with it and O. I am looking at a 2000 GMC Z71(whatever that means) it has 99,600 miles, gonna be the wood truck to pull the trailers. We will see if the purchase goes through...again Keep it rollin' Go GMC!
Nice truck Doug. I love the sound of it. Stay safe and healthy. Bill H from Cranberry Township
That the bells and whistles you're paying for up front come with a subscription...that's just that typical great GM feeling that will keep me away from them for another 20 years.
So far, no truck hasn't replaced how Ford Raptor is . Dodge TRX Is very close!
Congratulations on your new truck, hope you can enjoy it for many moons
I hope so too!
Holy shit. 9000 lbs payload on a 1500? That’s a record for sure!
Most definitely doesn’t have a 9,000 lb payload. Towing capacity is around that. Payload is less than 2,000 lbs.
@@AB-coyote thanks captain obvious
Best of luck with the new Jimmy. I would have liked to see the adjustable seat for Autumn. I know your going to be the one who uses the truck the most but, it's nice to see if there other features also. Also, anything underneath like suspension? Best Wishes. 🤠
I have a 2021 Denali. I've been thinking about going to look at new AT4s.
My dream truck, DANG wish I could afford it
I owed a 2019 and a 2020 Ford Raptor and sold both of them. I have a Tundra now and love it.
Congratulations on the new truck Doug, Cool video Carl FONDEROSA FARMS MD
Thanks 👍
My next truck. I am waiting to find a nice used one.
I have a 23 SLT , it’s an awesome truck
Beautiful truck, i have a 1500 SLT, but can't afford the new truck payments. lol
Welcome to the club.
Sweet looking ride ,love it sounds awesome!
you do not need a data plan from GM to have the full screen google map and to use the hey google feature. Just tether your phone to the truck, using phone data. Question: How do you use the trailer light test function? I can get it to work with the GM app on my phone, but do not see any option on the truck screen to perform such.
There is a test feature for the lights. I did it once a while ago and seriously can’t remember where it is located.
New technology in nearly 6 years is nice, like the charger but forward camera especially when you can’t see over the bonnet.
I love the look of your Ford Rapter 2018, I’m sure you’ll miss it....😊
I. Sure the Dealer will make good money on your 2018 Raptor🧐
$20,000 extra sounds great but only 3 year warranty is a bit low, they don’t see:to back their vehicles and you’ll be in the same position in 3 years than 5.😢
Make sure you Krown undercoat that truck if your in a high roadsalt zone. That frame has wax on it and not paint. Nice rig.
Thanks for the tip!!
Id prefer the Silverado ZR2. ZR2 has a better suspension with same drivetrain and equipment for similar money. This is more like if the the trail boss had an LTZ trim.
Wish you all the best with the new truck doug
I love my 2021 AT4.
Good looking truck Doug. Sounds good too.
You are going to have mad neighbors!
Also Authorities are putting cams to detect decibel of noise.
How do these AT4 hold up with city driving (3.0 vs 5.3)? My commute is a maximum of 10 miles, but is 100% city.
I currently own a 2023 Tundra (8,500 mi). I love the truck, but the premature engine failures have me concerned. Dealers aren't even accepting 22/23 trades because of the issue and toyota dealerships can't sell impacted inventory until their is a fix. I bought the extended warranty because i planned to have this 15 years but not if an engine blows!
Not sure on the city driving. I don’t do much of it here.
I guess like any vehicle and the manufacturer, sometimes you get a good one and sometimes you get a bad one.
Good luck!
I haven’t heard about the Toyota engine problems. I’ll have to look into that.
I like the new wheels nice upgrade
Well Doug I think you just made Adam jealous a little bit ❤😊😮
Shoulda bought it in 3.0L! Also you bought their BEST color. Love the Tit Rush!!
V8s are harder and harder to find. No fan of electric, hybrid, or turbo (stresses engine) pickup trucks so you did good there Doug! But then again (and I hate to say this), the Toyota trucks way outshine GM and Ford. At least they used to until they eliminated the V8 option a year or two ago.
Yes can’t believe you can’t get the v8 in the tundra anymore. Turbos and small engines are a terrible mix for a full sized truck.
I'm surprised you didn't buy an AT4X, being that you owned the Raptor. Also, I hope you purchased an extended warranty because that engine has cylinder deactivation. Once the warranty is gone and you develop problems with the DFM, GM will abandon you.
I’m looking into a tune that deletes the cylinder deactivation mode.
Wrong. GM discontinued cylinder deactivation years ago. It has lifter issues sometimes however but as long as you always use Dexos 0w-20 you’ll be fine.
GM did NOT stop cylinder deactivation. Stop putting out false information! It’s called DFM.
What an upgrade! Nice truck just don't understand why they have to have such a short bed, but of you have a trailer its not a problem. Trucks came a long way
If you go to the dealership its like 90% crew cabs with the shorter beds. I prefer the double cabs with the bigger bed. It's an testament of trucks being used less for work.
You can still get the 6.5 foot bed with a crew cab but you will most likely have to order it. Rarely do you see them on the lot at dealerships. Some of it depends on which trim you buy too. I have the Denali Ultimate and the only options you really have to pick from is paint color and 6.2 or LZ0 Duramax. Everything else comes standard and they all come with the shorter bed and crew cab. If I got a High Country though I could have got the 6.5 foot bed and I could have got I think 3.73 if you get the max tow package. I like the interior of the Ultimate better one of the main reasons I bought the one I did.
I’ve got the standard bed on my Sierra, and I could never pick a short bed truck again. I got lucky as I found mine new sitting on a lot in Wyoming. No parking sensors to go bad, but I still got the rear sliding window and heated and ventilated leather with dual zone climate and no dynamic fuel management from factory and I absolutely love it!
Just a couple of years ago you could get one of these trucks in cardinal red which is the red that you lean towards?
Do you have a little shooting range on your property? That would be badass. Looks like you got tons of space and privacy for one
Congratulations 🎉
Sounds great
Congrats pretty truck
Thank you!
So can u find out if theirs any custom parts on the new FallGuy truck for fall guy the movie comes out in may
love that truck!!!
I just got a 2024 dodge ram HEMI but I think I should have got me an AT4
Nice review on the AT4. You ever consider checking out a Tundra? You may enjoy the reliability of a Toyota.
Toyotas are trash. Tundra is so behind and nobody wants a hybrid.
@@wint_62you’ve probably never even owned a Tundra
These new Tundras haven't been as reliable as the previous generation.
I really like the styling of these Doug, and the new display screens on the dash… ❤
Hey, how long is your driveway? I appreciate that acceleration clip you posted in the beginning. 😎
It is about 800’ long. Yea, that truck sounds really good.
Nice truck,but I don't know of any circular saws that would work on 400 watts!
They don't actually power tools they are only good for charging batteries and stuff. If you hook a saw up to my F-150 it kicks the breaker immediately
Mis info there on my part! Maybe battery back charge up for a little hand held one!
