I’ve often thought the only value left in the American pick up truck market is the three-quarter ton gas truck. And you’re absolutely right about the diesels in the three-quarter ton trucks. It’s a waste of time due to the low payload numbers. You got a great deal especially in light of the fact that a well equipped, half ton truck would cost as much as yours did and you got so much more truck for the money.

I just recently purchased virtually the same truck as you except I opted for the Silverado instead. There was a +/- $3,500 difference between the two with the Silverado being cheaper. I ended up getting the LTZ trim and the only upgrades I have from your truck is leather seats, and wireless phone charging. I did opt for the 18” wheels though strictly because of the better ride and tire replacement cost. My sticker was $67,300. Although I do like the looks of the Sierra a little better, I went with the Silverado because it was a better value IMO.

Debates about gas vs. diesel have sort of lost the plot. For the average tower, the modern gas engine fitted in three quarter ton trucks is more than sufficient. There are two exceptions: (1) when you cross north of the 12k lb trailer mark, and (2) if you’re towing in the mountains. And, even then, most weekend warrior types would be “fine” with the gasser if they were heavier or rarely towing slopes (within reason). After all, these modern gassers put out hp/torque that shames even some late model diesels from the 00s. I think your points raised here are exactly correct: this is an ideal configuration for someone looking to get into larger bumper pulls or modest fifth wheels without breaking the bank. And it’s far more stable than comparable half tons in price. This sort of truck is a great, safe platform for like 90% of the public’s towing needs.

Had a 23 gas SLE and traded for a 24 AT4 gas. I liked the 23 but I hate cloth seats and you can’t get the console in the SLE anymore. With kids have to have some cupholders. That was annoying. Mine didn’t even have the fold down cupholders in the back (although you can get it as an option). I don’t mind the feel of cloth but I live in western KS where’s its dusty. Just too hard to keep clean on the farm. That said you can put Katskin leather in for less than $2K. I have no regrets getting the 24 AT4. I do agree the SLE is the best value hands down of the big 3 if you don’t option it up too much. Put many options on it and you might as well get the SLT. Only a few thousand dollars when I speced them out.

You got a good one for sure and speced out perfectly in my opinion. I have a 22 Chevy Custom model 2500 that I bought last year and absolutely love it!! I got it for 53500 with 9 of the best options I could find at the time. Still a big chunk of change but it's the best vehicle I've ever owned in my life! I've never owned a vehicle over a year that I can't wait to drive it everyday. lol... It pulls our 8k camper with ease. As far as gas mileage goes between the 6 and 10 speeds, they both have almost identical final drive ratios. So from the feedback on the GM forums, it's a wash for most but there are some that say the 10 speed gets a little less overall. I'm not sure why that is, more shifting perhaps? But where the 10 speed obviously shines over the 6 speed is when towing extra heavy loads. Most rave how much better it tows 12k and up as compared to the 6 speed. Either way I love my 6 speed and can't even think about parting with it. If you're a truck guy like me, I bet you fall in love with it too!! Enjoy sir!

Nice truck for sure. The L8T gasser is in my opinion the best gas engine on the market. My 2022 is just over 36,000 miles and so far so good. I would like to point out to you that in 2020 GM raised the standard GVWRs on the 2500 trucks to 10,650 (10,850 for 2024) for gas and 11,350 for diesels. So a diesel 2500 would have a really similar payload as what you have. Maybe less but close. And then new for 2024 is the max tow package for diesel 2500s and it gives an 11,750 GVWR and also the rear axle and suspension from a 3500 SRW HD. So if you are a diesel fan you don’t have to compromise with the GM 2500s, especially the 2024 with max tow. But nice truck. The GMC SLE and Chevy LT trims have always been class leading for value based on what you get vs what you pay.

How do you think this gas GMC 2500 would do with a Hawk 4 Wheel Camper in the box? Camper would be approximately 1500 lbs plus 2 people and gear. Say 2200lbs of payload. Would it require airbags, rear sway bar etc? Your videos are very informative and well done. Keep up the great work.

Great question. So oddly on the 2500s GM puts a sticker in glove box to the tune of "not designed for truck camper" (or something similar)...which I've always found odd given the 3300+ lb payload. All the hardware is there for a truck camper such as the 7-way and 4-way connector in bed...so all I can figure is GM is thinking about the heavier and longer conventional truck campers from Lance, etc. I am not an expert on the Hawk models, but it's my understanding they're exceptionally light, so I don't see why it wouldn't work on a 3/4 ton, especially a modern gasser with 3K+ payload. GM trucks don't usually squat a lot with the leaf springs in general. I could see where airbags could help in terms of handling and give you that adjustability. I had them on my last 1 ton dually and it did improve ride significantly. Otherwise I think you could go into it stock and see how you like it before adding bags or anything else. Hope this helps.

On the GMC with 6.6 Gas and 10-Speed I'm guessing it'll be about 2-4MPG less ea category, but I'll have to report back once I get more mileage on it. I will be publishing a 400+ mi highway mpg run this Sunday, 11/22 so stay tuned. I think gas trucks have come a long way in the last few years so between the cost savings, no DPF/emissions stuff, and less maintenance, they are becomming more popular for sure!

This is a truly excellent review. Wish I saw it before I bought my 2023 AT4 XL. You are right that you pay a lot more and may not get enough value to justify it. My tow capacity is way less on a half ton SUV. I have a lot more creature comforts and amenities, can carry seven people and get excellent mileage with the 5.3 engine--over 18 combined. But it cost a lot more for less torque, less horsepower and way less payload. They're both good vehicles to have. The ten-speed transmissions are fantastic.

I have pretty much this truck in a Silverado with a Duramax and 8 foot bed, bucket seats not bench, 2020 model. I like the new bigger screen, adaptive cruise, tailgate, and i get its a GMC versus chevy version, which adds a few beans. But my god prices have gone up. This truck is beautiful but a sticker of 67k on a gasser one step up from work truck? In late 2020 my sticker was 65k, but i started with $8,500 off and that was when they were getting scarce.

I'm not a big chrome guy but this color complements the chrome well and doesn't make it pop as much like some of the other colors. I agree that this is a very good value with all the options mentioned, especially in this current truck market. If all goes well I will have delivery of my truck in about 3 - 4 months.

@@AdventureRocks Flew to Little Rock. Brian picked me up at the LIT airport. The deal was right on. Pricing as we had agreed upon. No hitches at all. Very nice gentleman. I purchased an in stock SLE Crew cab 4x4 standard bed 6' 9". Sierra HD Gas 6.6 V8, Allison 10 speed transmission, with the value package, X31 off road and protection package, standard tailgate, Auto transfer case upgrade and LED lights in the bed, White exterior and brown / slate cloth interior, out the door price was well off of MSRP. Also dealer fee was only $129. Very refreshing. No dealer in Central Ga where I live or South Atlanta would come close and they did not have the SLE equipped like i wanted at this price point. $57694. Out the door, less Tag Tax and title. I'd do it again at Everett GMC Little Rock, Ar. Ask for Brian Cornwell.

For gooseneck and fifth wheel towing I prefer 20-25% pin weight for safety. 10-15% is good rule of thumb for bumper pull though. My last fifth wheel weighed 17K and had 4.4K pin weight. It can be surprising how much the pin weight or tongue weight jumps up once fully loaded compared to advertised weights provided by manufacturers (empty, dry, and without options). Oftentimes we run out of payload for the pin/tongue weight quicker than the actual stated towing capacity, but manufacturers and dealers don't seem to talk about that enough.

Nice job selecting this package. Decent price too. And actually I love the color. After some research though there are two items I have on my must have list that may force me into a higher trim level than I otherwise wouldn't need. Number one is auto 4 wheel drive. I live in Montana and we find ourselves on roadways often that are a mix of snow/ice then dry pavement and many times the snow/ice sneak up on you. Number two is the passenger seat. We test drove a chevrolet with bench seat that has only 2 manual adjustments on the passenger side and my wife said it's a deal breaker. Curious to hear how you and wife think of the passenger seat comfort. Also maybe I missed it in the video but was the tonneau cover included and which one is it please?
@AdventureRocks

Thank you! I hear you on the auto 4wd...that is a nice feature. On the passenger seat it is true like you said, little adjustments. Very seldom do I have passengers in front, usually just back. No one has complained yet, but I could see on longer trips the lack of more adjustment could pose a problem. Good point.

You should definitely reach out to Brian or Brandon at Everett. One thing I really appreciate about them is they never charge over MSRP, which says a lot. During pandemic times it seemed like almost every dealer was taking advantage of customers with outrageous markups. Plus they don't tack on hidden fees and extras that you don't want.

Love your truck. I'm in the market to replace my "03" 2500 HD 6.0 liter. Its been a good truck for 21 years. I pull a fifth wheel camper, and I have a question for someone on here who may have an answer. Does the AT4 and Denali sit higher than a SLE or SLT? I don't want a truck that sits up so high. For access to the box and pulling my camper flat. A friend of mine has a stock AT4 and it barely fits in his garage door. I assume they have a factory lift on them?
@AdventureRocks
9 ай бұрын
I think most of the 3/4 tons will all sit up pretty high. I don't believe the HD AT4 have lifts from factory...only 1/2 ton AT4 get OEM lifts to my knowledge. My 24 2500 sits about 3" higher in rear compared to my 21 RAM 3500 dually.

I have noticed there are hidden backup indicators right under it if you look closely so I'm guessing they are there in case screen goes out.
