AT4 all day everyday!!! I just got the 21 AT4 6.2 Carbon. Love it
I love my 2020 LT TB... I took it on a. Hunting trip to southern AZ, 1000 miles in desert roads in 17 days... it was awesome.
Awesome!! Great choice of truck!
3.0 ?
4 days ago I bought a loaded at4 Duramax in dark sky metallic. Love it! 27 mpg so far.
That’s awesome!! Congrats Eric!
congrats man what was the total price on it?
What engine?
@@Lalokera0629 he said duramax which means he has the 3.0 Diesel engine
I love the AT4 but I’ll get the 6.2 liter only because of that stupid belt in back of the duramax that has to be changed out at 150,000 miles!🤦🏽♂️
That extra $5k for the GMC seems like a great deal for all the extras you get with it!
It is!
100% agree
Got my 2021 Trail Boss Custom 5.3L and I’m loving it! Gonna slap on headers soon with true duals 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Jeff, thanks again for a fun informative video. Ever one of those options you talked about pushed me to the 2021 AT4. And i use and enjoy each of those the tail gate has come in incredibly handy.
GM Jeff. Great video comparison, really highlighted the differences between the two. Helpful with which direction I'd go. Thanks!
Awesome!! I love hearing comments like this! Thank you Andrew!
I have those Sierra Running boards sprayed with the bed liner on my Trail Boss, love it. 6.2L all the way!
Awesome!! Congrats on the great choice of truck Chris!
I have liked the Trail Boss since it debuted in the summer of 18 and knew I would get that truck after my current lease is up. Nice job!
It’s an awesome truck!! Hope u get one fire sure!
How much was the lease if you don’t mind saying?
I ended up with a RST because of lack of inventory. My 36 mo. lease with 15K annually is $450
@@djmikebuck6341 oh wow!! That the area I would like to be. Thank you for responding
Considered both but the GMC has much better leasing prices, so I pick up my ‘21 AT4 6.2 at the end of the month! Also, you mentioned colour matched grill on the AT4, although the Carbon Pro has specific coloured accents including grill 👍 also, the Chevy has the option to have power up tailgate (which is rather have than the multi pro...). I actually didn’t know about the memory seats and passenger seat being manual differences!! Great vid
Good point in regards to the Carbon Pro. Yes you do have the option for the power up gate in the Silverado, but the Multi-Flex also sounds like it's on its way as well!!
I picked a 6.2L Trail Boss over an AT4 but damn I would’ve loved to have those cool options.
Just thinking the same thing. I like the exterior of the Trail Boss better but the interior and options of the AT4.
I work at a GM dealership and with that, I feel they are both bad ass trucks. We can’t keep either one in stock. They sell as fast as we get them
Likewise!! Selling faster than we can get them!
How can they afford them?
@@josemelendez6860 84 month financing 😂
If you were closer, I would def make the trip to buy a truck from you. You really know these trucks. I like your compare videos. Answers a lot of my questions. Im in Pennsylvania.
Thanks a lot!! Too bad we are so far.
Im going to purchase the AT4 during December time, I cannot wait!
Great choice! WhAt colour?
Dang I’d love to have that AT4 just barely got my 15 z71 Silverado several months ago. Hoping to have that eventually if not I’d be willing to trade my truck for it! I love the look of the chevys up until this past year gmc has definitely knocked it out of the park. Awesome video! I’ll sub
Thanks so much!! Truly appreciate you watching and subscribing
I went looking for a 2021 Z71 Trail Boss, I came home with the 2021 AT4 with the 6.2.
I am currently working my ass off to get a AT4. The Sierra in the video is the exact truck I am working on getting right down to the color. Because I want one I see GMC's everywhere, even my darn UA-cam videos lol. Thanks for the video
Ha ha!! Well, I really hope all hard work pays off and you are able to get one Larissa!
These are the two trucks I'm looking at for my future buy. Thank you so much for doing this comparison. I had a 2006 GMC Sierra Denali, then went to a 2013 Chevrolet 1500 LT.... I really like the AT4 for everything it has. To me it seems the AT4 is closer in comparison to the Chevrolet High Country trim level based on standard and available features.
Which one will I likely pick, you ask?
AT4 with 6.2L. Looks to have everything I both need AND want at this point in my truck life.
Thanks so much watching/commenting! I’m so glad I could help.... Great choice!
Love my 2022 at4. Have the 3.0 though
Money is an issue. Still went with the AT4. Lifted it 4 more inches and put on 22’s w/ 35’s. Now I’m riding in style.
Big truck!!!
So the AT4 is the best!? Great cuz that’s what I have. ❤️ and i love it.
Ha ha.... we love what we have, right?! Nice choice with the AT4 Azalia!
The AT4 6.2 L Cardinal red 2020 is my truck absolutely love it fully loaded.
6.2
I've been a Ford guy all my life, but I do have to give the GM Twins credit when it is do. Honestly with a Diesel HD it would either be a Ford or GMC.
They are great trucks, right?!
I'll get the AT4 6.2 fully loaded, carbon pro. Just wish it had other interior color options. I don't like the orange inserts. Hopefully the '22 models have more choices like a 2 tone black & tan with black wood trim.
Cool! New viewer here. Just subbed. I really like the "What's the Difference?" series. Jeff, consider a stabilizer for your camera/phone. Makes your movements smoooooth. A DJI Osmo 2 or 3 costs only a little over a hundred bucks. It's a great accessory, held in just one hand, that makes a big improvement to videos without the concern of going all Hollywood. Cheers!
Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to view!! Also, thanks for the heads up.. I actually intending on picking up one soon 😁👍🏼
Most newer phones have a stabilizer in them. My Samsung Galaxy A52 5G does.
I’ve seen that same exact running board from the AT4 with the wording “Silverado”, been looking all over for it.
Just bought the 2021 AT4 yesterday I like the step rails on this at4. What’s the model number and where to buy?
I looked at both AT4 and trail boss. I went with the trail boss. Definitely happy that I did
Thank you for helping me select my first truck! AT4 IT IS!
I have the trail boss and biggest complaint is no adjustable foot pedals. Wish I had that! Love my truck though! Good video.
I’ve heard that a few times!! As if 2019 you can’t get adjustable pedals in ANY Sierra/Silverado 😑
I came cuz I like the AT4, but that TrailBoss looks amazing! Nice that it comes with the 3.0L diesel now as well.
My fully loaded at4 carbon pro is finally on the way.....one of 18 in the country at dealerships because of constraints. Took a month just for the order to be picked up by gmc.
Congrats Shawn!!.... We had ONE so far this year, and that’s it! Left two weeks ago
Im glad you did this, direct comparison.
Thanks for watching!!
Great comparison! One major thing you missed, which was the main selling point for me is that adaptive cruise control is only available in the AT4 not the Trail Boss! I was torn between the 2 trucks until I found that out. I work at a Chevy dealership and could have gotten a discount on a Trail Boss but decided to pay full price for the AT4. It should be delivered on 04/28/21 and I can't wait!
Good point!
My heart says Chevy...but I want the features of the AT4. I wish they did a Trail Boss LTZ!
They don’t because GMC is considered professional grade and it’s GMs premium brand. Chevrolet is the lower tier brand of GM. Similar to Lexus and Toyota.
@@frankshanks9726
I know, Frank...I know.
Think I'm going LTZ Diesel.
@@vicarod I traded my 2020 Trailboss LT in for an AT4 in 2020 and I’d never go back. The 6.2l is a must.
I Notice a feature on the AT4 where orange colors pops up on the dashboard and it buzzes on my seats. Any idea what that is? Can’t find it on the manual.. thanks for the time and the video is awesome!
That’s the forward collision alert with the safety alert seat!
Awesome trucks. The black bumpers on the Trailboss kind of reminds me of a work truck. I like the black grille on it's own. How they had it on the Red Line edition demo. Would you know any information if GM releasing the Red Line Edition on the Silverado's?
So far, no word yet on a Redline Edition. They were even suppose to have a RealTree Edition out this year, but Covid seems to have pushed some things back.
Completely Agree! The Trail Boss with black front bumper has a work truck look. Both front and rear bumpers should be painted the body color.
Is there a link to the textures running boards? I can’t find online at GM accessories.
Great video
2.7 T was available on trail boss in Florida at our local dealer. they are hard to find right now. 12/20
The 2.7L 4cyl turbo is NOT an option in the Silverado TrailBoss
AT4 all the way! Just bought one!
Awesome! Great choice Corbyn. Congrats on the new wheels!
AT4 has a more aggressive look to it which i like more, but both very good trucks
I dunno,,, I think they BOTH look aggressive for sure 😁👍🏼
Thank.bro , now I am in a dilemma of which one I’m getting.
Love both ordered the Sierra. No leather for me getting cloth in the 5.3L
Nice!!
I got a carbon pro and i love my truck... does everything i need it to do in a 4x4.
Beauty truck Justin! Congrats! What colour did you get?
After looking at both extensively I bought the AT4 6.2. Much more bang for the buck!
How so?
Depends how it’s trimmed out... nice choice with the AT4 though Kevin
Bought my GMC 2021 AT4 6.2. loooove it! I’m glad I went this bad boy!
Great video to compare both models!
That’s awesome! Congrats!
Same. With carbon pro bed
Gas mileage hwy/city?
(y)
I wanted the AT4 but went with a 2020 Trail Boss and I'm really liking it.No regrets!
Sweet choice!! Love the TrailBoss!
What were your reasons? I'm in the market
@@paulwhite6367 It really came down to availability and what I was getting for my trade, the GMC dealer didn't have the selection and the Chevy dealer had what I wanted and gave me top dollar for the trade which was a Chevy truck.
I'm looking to buy the 2021 at4. But I guess I have to wait for spring of 2022 as new ones are coming out
Hey Jeff thanks for the video, I'm considering both of these right now in diesel, I live around Quebec city tho which the dealerships here make me want to not buy a truck from them.... such a huge difference with customer service coming from Ontario. I know right is not the best time to buy, or so I'm told.
Come back and buy one in Ontario then! lol
I either need all those options in my Trail Boss, or I need that AT4 with a trailboss front clip! 😂
Lol that would be cool
isn't the "front clip" the same on both. ? To me the front clip is the frame, and they both have the same frame.
The GMC AT4 is a more refined and better looking truck, I have a 2020 3500HD AT4 w/Duramax...
And I LOVE the the rear view camera mirror...
That review camera mirror is one of my Favourite newer pieces of tech, hands down!
Any issues with your backup camera? My backup camera gave out on my 2021 AT4. has been in the shop for over a week. I miss my baby!
I would pick the trail boss in a 6.2L . O wait ! I got one lol love it
Ha ha.. awesome!! Great choice!
Lucky
I would pick the AT4 HD in 6.6L. Oh wait I have one.
Trail boss for the win!!
Love the TB too, Drew!
At4 is clearly better of the two
@@waymorhd NO
@@VertexGolfAcademy yes
Did you even watch the video? AT4 has way more options
Any pics of what what the multi flex tail gate looks like on a 2021 Trail Boss Jeff?
Nothing as of yet unfortunately, Paul 😑👎🏻.. I’ll be doing a video as soon as we get one in!!
Hi Jeff...the side step on the GMC that comes with box liner coating on it, do you know what the part number is for a Chevy Trail Boss Crew Cab LT?
Can you get the Max tow package (GU6) in the AT4? I don’t believe it is an option on the Trail Boss.
Unfortunately it’s not available as an option on either of these two lofted trucks 🤦🏼♂️😑
I want one but GM is saying there were some bad batch of lifters in the 9/1/20 thru 3/31/21 production dates. Kinda got me hesitant about purchasing.
Tough choice! Have to find a dealership that has both and make a day of it. It would be both fun and would annoy the sales dept. win-win.
Besides price, the only reason I don’t have one is dealerships here in the U.S. I hope the dealerships in Canada are better.
Wonder if I could buy there and “import” it to the USA?? Even in metric it would be worth it to skip U.S. dealerships!
Jeff, I live in the USA. Do you know if you go into a Costco program dealership, will you get invoice pricing or will you pay msrp?
Hey Jeff, can you get the AT4 in Silver with only a extended cab?
They don’t make double cab AT4’s unfortunately 😑
After waiting and waiting in my area for a AT4 with Tech package and because of the shortage of chips I was told by dealership it would take a while before they would be available. Got a great deal on AT4 without tech package. Is this something that can be added later to the truck ?
So awesome you found a truck!! Unfortunately I do not believe so ☹️👎🏻
Jeff, thank you for the video. Quick question, is the 2" factory lift and actual suspension lift or is it simply a leveling kit?
Thanks Jared! To answer your question, it’s an actual suspension lift.
It’s a block lift
@@4liter no, it’s a suspension lift. www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/vehicle-upgrades/new-silverado/suspension
@@GeneralMotorsJeff weird I’ll have look again thought my AT4 had block spacers
@@4liter Longer struts give the lift in the front and block spacers lift the rear.
Can you do a compare video like this with the tahoe off road version and yukon at4 version please?!
Honestly, I would LOVE to....The only issue is inventory. I don't have both of these right now :(. If/when I have both models at the same time, you can be certain I will!
I just bought Yukon AT4 last week and we absolutely love it!
I wish GMC had a lower priced 'trailboss custom' version of the AT4. I guess it would be something like an elevation edition but I like how the Chevy TB Custom and TB LT both share the same suspension/engine/tranny/wheels and tires. I just want to delete all the expensive tech and flashy options.
I agree, a price point lifted GMC would be a great seller for sure!!
Glad I got the 5.3 with a ten speed trail boss.
Nice choice Russell!
I’m 16 gonn be 17 this year I’ll start working this year atleast somewhere around October and I’ll work my ass not spend a single dollar well maybe a couple but not that much and I’ll save up until I’m 18 so that I can make my credit and try to get a used 2019 Sierra since by then they’ll be almost 4 years old and pretty sure they’ll have huge discounts by then maybe
Awesome to hear how you want to work towards something you want to buy!! Great goal to have
I have the 3.0 Carbon Pro and damn this truck is the best.
Awesome choice of truck!!
I bought the '21 AT4 (6.2L). The standard non-color matched (and rough textured) fender flares are terrible. Thankfully, I was able to go onto the GMC website and buy color matched (cayenne red tintcoat) smooth fender flares. IMHO, should have came with them. The TrailBoss has no flares. We don't talk that fast down 'ere in Oklahoma...guess the coffee is stronger in Ontario!
Ha ha....I don't even have that much coffee..just highly energetic when I do my vids I suppose lol. I am glad you were able to get the colour matched flares that we had spoken about.....Because I have learned they have stopped producing them recently.
@@GeneralMotorsJeff -- Just got them installed. I posted a "before and after" picture on my UA-cam "Community" section. Just go to my UA-cam page and scroll over to Community if you want to see the difference. Thanks for your insight...glad they weren't discontinued.
Just glad I could help!! Looks sick!
Liked the video but isn't the 4x4 system different too or was that just 2020? Limited slip vs locking differentials?
No, both the TrailBoss and AT4 come
Standard with the G80 auto locking differential.
Wow that At4 looks bad ass
That’s because it IS badass! Haha 😃👍🏼
Plan on getting the trail boss bit how the hell do you not get memory seats. On a 60k msrp vehicle
I hear you....
Simple don’t let anyone else drive it.
I just bought a 2022 at4 and it doesn't have heated rear seats. Why??
Maybe you might be able to answer a question which I have not received an answer for..
The new 2021 Tahoe with the z71 package... there have been a few people who say the Tahoe z71 does not have a locker at all and some say that it does have the g80 locker...
Is it poss to get an answer ever since I saw the 2021 Tahoe I have been trying on other review sites to get an answer...I did not know this was such a hard question for the reviewer doing the videos
The new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 has a two speed transfer case which includes the 4-lo. It does NOT however, have the G80, but rather what they are calling the G86...Which is a "Mechanical Limited-Slip Rear Differential"
My AT4 has the Kicker sound system in the tailgate
I’ve sold a few with the kicker system... it’s pretty cool for sure!
GMC at4 looks nice! That’s going to be my next choice ☺️
Nice choice
I can’t seem to make up my mind if I should go with the at4 or the f-150 Ford tremor lol.
Do the seats have lubar adjustments if so which truck?
They both do!
He said z71 for us American hotdogs....hell yeah !
You bet I did! Haha 😁🇨🇦🇺🇸
Trail boss is the bad boy here. Unless you obviously want to spend more for some more gadgets. I have the trail boss and put it through the toughest trails and it’s yet to say no. Buy the way not hating on AT4 it’s a great truck.
Great choice on the TrailBoss Josiel!
Hey Jeff can you actually look at the dura trac tires on the truck itself and look for the snow ❄️ flake and mountain peak and see if they are winter rated . The reason I ask is some you tubers say gm don’t put the snow flake on them from the factory. But Goodyear website says that tire comes with the winter rating on it.
Hey Ernie. I do not see a snowflake or mountain peak on the 18" Duratrac tires on our TrailBoss trucks.
@@GeneralMotorsJeff ok so it is true that General Motors made a deal with good year to put cheaper compound dura trac tires on them. And not give it the winter rating? On Goodyear manufacture website says the dura trac tires are winter rated with the peak and snow flake on it.🤔
I can't speak to any of that...I am not sure how they would be a cheaper compound? But I do know Goodyear does make a few compounds in the Duratrac in general.... Wish i was more help in this
@@erniearruda8861 I just had a snow storm here in New England. I can tell you personally that the tires on the trail boss are no joke.
The downside with the snowflake Duratracs is that they will wear faster in the summer. They use a softer rubber to earn that snowflake on the sidewall. A friend had both versions on the same truck and the snowflake tire wore out quicker, especially on gravel.
The big difference is the GMC is worth it. Looks way better.
Looks are subjective though 😁👍🏼 lol
Ughh At4 with 6.2 is my dream truck since the moment it came out in 2019
Such a sick combo for sure!
Nice. I bought the OE wheels and put on my 99 Sierra. Also painted tow hooks red. But a new one would look nice in my driveway.
Did you give the actual prices?
GMC has been killing Chevy in the looks department last gen and this gen
I think they both look great!! But have def gotten some really positive feedback in regards to the Sierra’s for sure!! 😁👍🏼
Sierra is more for the person who wants a dressed up truck. Silverado is more for the practical. Personally I’ll take the more open centre council than half storage half charging. Just one example.
Since forever the gmc has always looked better especially the HD’s , even squarebodies the gmc looked better IMO
Ive always owned Sierras but thought the silverados looked good up until 2017 or so.
Now the silverados look so jokes.
Gmc front ends have always been their Achilles heel. They look like they belong on a semi-truck. Obviously there are people who prefer the "brick wall" oversized look, but I like a more sleek and aerodynamic look to my trucks.
So the AT4 apparently is NOT available on the GMC build page in the 5.3 v8
That sucks
The AT4 Looks like it’s killing the trail boss but I wanted to know how many cameras does it have total I know what the 2500 version which I really like myself has 18 cameras which you did not talk about
It’s got 12 cameras
Looks wise you have to give it to the trail boss, but creature comforts definitely goes to the AT4
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
AT4 if money was no option, awesome truck
Lol.. I like the “if money wasn’t an option”... totally get what you mean!
Love Both but rolling with Chevrolet.
I’m with you, I like the both, but good choice on the Chevy 😁👍🏼
Biggest difference that I noticed for looking at the 2024 versions is that the AT4 has heated and ventilated seats and the trail boss LT does not..
Tricoat pearl is available on the trail boss but it is not available on the AT4.
GM always does this weird stuff....lol
And of course the AT4 is quite a bit more money.
And even if you fully deck out a trail boss LT still won't be as many features available except the nicer paint on the outside....lol
Honestly after driving the 6.2 at4 and the 3.0 duramax. 6.2l all day for the win. The 3.0 is a total slouch in both towing capacity and power in comparison.
Thanks!!! :)
Thanks for watching!
Trailering cameras are a big diff too, GM has it
These trucks I'm favorite
Mine too! 😁👍🏼
I really like the in-depth comparison videos. I have been out of the sales side of GM for a few years now, but looking at a new truck to replace my current Silverado.
My question/s to you are this. I've searched your page and have not found what I am looking for, so it mat be there already. If not, can you do a video between the 3 Denali trucks. What are the differences between the 1500 and 2500 as far as features (not weight ratings). But my real question is, what are the differences between the Denali 2500 and 3500 SRW? What makes the 3500 able to do more work? The older GM trucks had a few differences, but then again, the weight ratings weren't as dramatic as they are on these newer trucks.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I want the AT4 with short bed single cab, is that too much to ask GM?
They make that truck...... overseas 🤦🏼♂️ lol
The Trial Bosses wireless charging is on the armrest.
Please can you do a silverado trailboss vs tahoe z71 or sierra at4 vs yukon at4..thanks
I will try to do something like that...The issue for me right now is inventory...Tahoe/Yukons are SO hard to get at the moment!
@@GeneralMotorsJeff No worries. In my country we don't have the trucks only the suvs.
@@aliberjawi9104 Ah ok..gotcha! Where are you from?

@@GeneralMotorsJeff huge fan of the channel..always diverse interesting content 👌.
I prefer the looks of the AT4. I dont need some of those extra bells and whistles though.
It is a great looking truck for sure Mike!!
Does the trail boss have the HUD like the At4?
Ha ha...I was wondering when someone would mention this...I realized RIGHT after I posted it that I forgot to mention it.... No, HUD is not an option in the TrailBoss...Only the AT4. (For those wondering, HUD stands for Heads Up Display)
@@GeneralMotorsJeff Aww man ok thanks for the reply. I was wondering because every video I’ve seen comparing these two never mention it... shucks I really like the HUD, looks like I’ll have to get the AT4 then! Lol
@@Jonnnn_5 Ha ha..Yup!! The HUD is ONLY available with the GMC AT4, Denali and SLT , Then in the Chevy its the LTZ and Highcountry
I like the Trail Boss !!!
Me too!!
