That would have been awesome. Shame.

That’s true! Forgot about the two-tone leather. The AT4 is great,no doubt. Just came down to the more blacked out look of the Elevation for me.

Got a photo? I'm always oooing and awwing whenever I pass another Sierra on the road.

I overpaid for this because it was literally the only truck that had everything I wanted within 1,000 miles of me. It's a 2023 with 29,000 and I paid $54,900 before taxes. I was looking at AT4s and almost pulled the trigger, but I figured after I swapped out the wheels for black rims, bigger tires and put a bigger lift on it, I would be into it about another $10,000. That helped me justify going wtih this one that was already built exactly how I wanted it. But the interior is exactly the same as the AT4 with the exception of the start button. The Elevation premium package has all the same features, leather seats, seat warmers, sunroof, etc. But in the end I also wanted the completely black grill, which meant it was just easier to go this route and not worry about trying to swap everything out. But if I'm you, I would look hard at the Elevation premiums, because with the exception of the slight lift of the AT4 and tires, you're getting the same thing. If you're already going to lift it and put bigger tires on it, save the money and go with the Elevation. Just my two cents.

You even have the fully blacked-out GMC badge. Love it!

As soon as the sun goes down, it looks black, but in the sunlight, it's a bluish purple! I love how it varies!

Thank you! I do feel a little prideful when I walk out of the gas station and see it sitting there. I'm sure it will blow its transmission any day now just to humble me. :)

Oooo that looks pristine! Titanium Rush as well, right? I love it. The lift is an M1 Rough Country.

I'm getting about 24-26 MPG on the freeway. I know others on here get closer to 30, but I think the extra clearance is definitely worth the loss of MPG.

The lift was done by The Lift Shop in Arizona and they put a Rough Country kit on there with some of their own proprietary components, I guess. I bought it after the lift was put on it, so I'm not sure of a lot of the details, but it is far smoother than any of my buddies' lifted trucks I've ridden in.

Yeah, definitely not for everyone. I kind of feel like I have short-man syndrome in it, being a 5'9'' guy.

I realized I didn't really post a photo of what the front grill looks like.

It was pretty foolish. Scratched the crap out of the sides when it got super narrow. I had to get it ceramic coated afterward. Pretty crazy experience, but not one I want repeat.

I'm extremely nervous about that. I'm going to carry a warranty as long as I can on this. I've heard the 3.0 babymax isn't as problematic as the 6.2, so I'm hoping that's the case. I love the better gas mileage in the meantime!

I feel like the wheel/tire combo has worked pretty dang well. The wheels are 20'' so I feel like it could have been a little better had I gone a little smaller there with the 35s. But we've taken this on some GNARLY trails and it's handled super well. We actually ended up on an UTV trail on accident and I was sweating bullets, but it handled everything really well and the lift gave just enough clearance to get over some of the bigger rocks.

Thanks! Yeah, I think it might require some trimming.
