2019 GMC Sierra AT4 new car reviews

The big news with the 2019 GMC Sierra is its refresh. Boxes are in, and here’s your proof. The other story is the new AT4 package.

 What’s the AT4 package include? We’re glad you asked.

From GMC:

  • Standard 2-inch factory-installed suspension lift.
  • Standard 4WD with a two-speed transfer case, locking rear differential and skid plates.
  • Standard off-road-tuned Rancho monotube shock absorbers.
  • Standard Hill Descent Control.
  • Standard Traction Select System.
  • Standard GMC exclusive, industry-first MultiPro Tailgate.
  • Standard black chrome finish on the fog lamp bezels, fender surround and grille insert.
  • Standard body-color grille surround, door handles and bumper.
  • Standard exclusive athletic interior trim elements.
  • Standard red vertical recovery hooks.
  • Available segment-first Multi-Color Head-Up Display.
  • Available segment-first Rear Camera Mirror.
  • Available GMC-exclusive, industry-first Carbon Fiber Pickup Box.
  • A full suite of advanced available safety features including Surround Vision, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking and Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking.

Feeling wild? You can spice up your AT4 with GMC’s “Off-Road Performance Package”, which for $4,980 gives you the 6.2L V8 mated to a 10-speed auto, 18inch wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires, a cat-back exhaust and performance intake.

Good thing this thing has 360-degree parking cameras because it’s huge. And then add in the new squared-off nose.

It’s no secret that today’s trucks keep getting bigger by the day, and I’m assuming that this all falls on deaf ears: Either you crave one or realize that, yeah, they’re huge. And then jack them up like this one. For me, personally, no, I wouldn’t want to drive one daily.

For those who need/want such a truck, though, I’m going to call this the Camaro SS of trucks. It’s not a 1LE or ZL1, but it is sportier than the basic truck.

Front end looks SO much better than the horrendous Chevy version

It's a LOT less ugly than the Chevy variant.

What in the Harley Earl are "athletic interior trim elements"?  Does this have anything to do with how they made the interior 2" farther away, i.e. harder to get into?

This is what I think of when someone says AT4:

Good catch. Somehow I'm reminded of a jock strap.

"Bigger than big!" "Larger than large!"  "The new trucks from EVERYONE!" "So big it will not fit in ONE picture frame!"

meh.

In real life it's good looking! Is the bad Chevy styling a strategy to upsell people to GMCs? Because it might be working.

Talk to me about the rear camera mirror. Is this a mirror that is really a screen that makes it look like there are no c-pillars and blind spots that I can use when driving?

In reply to mazdeuce - Seth :

If it's like the other GM rear camera mirrors I've seen, then that's exactly what it is. The other one I saw had the option to switch back to a traditional mirror too

I saw one of the otherwise stock Chevys on the way in to work today with a horrendous black roll bar over the front of the bed, it looked so out of place (and I can only imagine what the poor guy paid for it). It is apparently a $1,300 option on the Colorado ZR2...
