I’ve got a 2022 Sierra Denali with 10,900 miles that’s been at the dealer for almost 2 months with a transmission failure. Why 2 months? Because they’ve been trying to duct tape it back together to keep from safely repairing it or replacing the vehicle. Stay away from GMC. There’s a reason that they have a weak 3/36,000 mile warranty.
You should consider enacting Lemon Law. You could potentially land yourself a brand new truck legally. By law new vehicles aren't supposed to experience any significant issues or spend any significant time in the shop.
Every vehicle manufacturer has a 3 year/36000 mile warranty. That's the bumper to bumper warranty. This truck has a 5 year/60,000 mile POWERTRAIN warranty, which is also industry standard, including over at Toyota and Honda. Are you a bot or just r***rded?

I love the old 6.2 Raptor and the New Raptor R but the AT4x is such a better deal. Dollar for dollar you're getting more value out of the GMC. The 3.5 Raptor is a lemon too so there's that

Ford quality issues for the new 2024 are concerning and they should be addressed. I do agree with issues about the HD issues for the 2024 gm truck also I owned both brands I have driven all of the big 3 I love the comfort from the gm trucks but I wouldn't pay the stupid high price for a new truck I will wait a few years and look for a low mileage example.
@@fit4ya1975 who do you think has better seats for long driving hours? Never owned a gm andlooking into them as someone told me they’re comfortable for long trips
Wouldn’t compare it to the raptor… different use and much different price tag. The raptor is around 100k . Compare it to the F150 line I have a 24 Chevy HD duramax with the midnight edition. I picked it over the GMC because I like the Chevy look better! That’s what’s great about this country.. we have choices!
I bought a 2024 GMC Sierra Duramax with a 3.0 inline 6 engine. This truck is fantastic - it's luxurious and has impressive speed. The GMC Sierra Duramax is truly top-notch. The sleek design and powerful engine make it a pleasure to drive. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with all the latest technology and amenities. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the GMC Sierra Duramax to anyone in the market for a new truck. It truly is a premium vehicle that exceeds expectations in every way.
Did you even drive one before making this video? It doesn't drive like a truck at all! It feels like you're floating on a cloud. It's one of the things that impressed me since I was expecting it to drive like a truck (as it is one). Some of the other points you made were also wrong or sounds like you've never been in one. There's so much to love about this awesome truck. I love mine.
I test drove a 2024 GMC Sierra with the AT4 package yesterday and I found it to drive very smooth and it handled well. By far the best looking full size pickup in the market. Your review is baseless in my opinion.
Their are differences in materials and options. Gmc has for example more sound dampening material. As well gmc offers more options with their vehicles that as a result adds weight which is why it would then have a lower tow rating. As for raptor comparison only the TRX is actually a comparison. The AT4 is more of a tremor comparison.
Got the premium 3.0 Durmax 1500 then went and lifted it and now it gets good gas milage and is a beast of road .This video is off IMO and I wouldnt buy a Ram if you paid me lol haha. Truck rides amazing and 100k mile warranty works for me.
I bought one as well. I have the Elevation package. The only things I do not like about it was I thought it had adaptive cruise like my last two vehicles but for GMC it seems that is yet another addition that you have to know about (and my dealer did not tell me). I got REALLY used to having adaptive driving and damn near hit the back end of a car on I35 !!! The fuel mileage is wonderful for a fossil fuel truck. Love that 3.0 diesel. Very comfortable truck. Already drove it from Dallas to Big Bend for vacation. Hope i feel as good about the truck in three years when i will likely see about buying a plug in hybrid pickup....maybe.
Who hurt you? I feel like this video is intentionally trolling viewers with obvious misinformation and misrepresentation. People do you own research and you'll see about the only thing he got right was #6 yes it's expensive, guess what all trucks are expensive these days. Top end Ram 80k, top end Chevy 78k, top end Ford 90k+ so GMC at 85k is high but not excessively so. smh
I sat in the GMC 3500 at4 I thought it was one of the nicest trucks I had ever sat in looks amazing if I had the money that day I would’ve purchased it
My first truck ever was a 2016 Sierra 1500 SLE, I was in love with the body, my neighbor at that time had a 2019 Denali he let me drive around the corner and I fell in love all over again. So I traded flat 2016 for a 2019 Sierra 1500 SLT with a sunroof and I was a happy camper till they refreshed the interior with the newer screen and new shifter. So I traded my 2019 in for a 2022 GMC sierra 1500 diesel. One day I worked with a client and he left me his 2022 Ram 1500 longhorn and it was perfect interior and setup. So 2 months ago I traded mine in again for a 2023 Ram 1500 Limited Elite with panoramic roof and indigo sand interior. So far I love Ram interior better and cabin size more but I Love GMC exterior more than any truck. I wish I could build my own😂😂
@@airplanemilt Congrats on your purchase and they are great trucks regardless of what anyone says. I loved mine, only issued I ever had was a transmission and it was covered under warranty and they swapped it out in 3-4 days.
I always thought that GMC was a lot more expensive version of Chevy. But even building them on the websites the GMC's seem to have more straightforward build options and come out with better prices for what you get. The elevation is a very good value to get one of the best looking half-ton trucks out there with a lot of features including best in class camera systems and fuel economy with the 3.0 diesel.
The perfect truck does not exist, but your points seem to be regurgitated negative comments. I have owned all 3 brands and currently 2020 Ram 2500 and 2025 GMC 2500 Denali Ultimate. Only point I would agree with is the ride quality not towing is bouncy on the GMC. The lane keeping on the highway and being less affected by wind on the GMC with the wishbone causes less fatigue for me. Feeling the corners takes a little getting used to, and it is not a sports car, so you should be reminded to slow down. TOWING, the GMC ride quality is spot on, in my opinion. I would never buy and HD that does not have a purpose towing. The one thing I wish the HD had was Super Cruise. I got to use it between Dallas and Houston on I-45, which is normally a very stressful drive. It was unbelievable how much stress it took off and how much better it drove than most people. Since 2004, I have been strictly a RAM and Cummins owner with one Ford in 2014 that I hated from day one overall and now a 2025 GMC 2500. I looked at and drove them all before going with the GMC this time and absolutely not regretting the decision.
I had 2 silverados over the last few years, my most recent i went with the Sierra, actually got a better deal then what they were asking for the silverado... and the GMC looks, feels, and drives better than both of my silverados. And i had the 5.3 in both of them! Id actually prefer the 4 cylinder.
The mag ride suspension on the Denali, and Ultimate trim levels is easily the best riding experience over ANY truck in the market hands down. That coupled with super cruise and no other truck can beat it.
I'm a Ford guy and this video is totally crap. The new GMCs are amazing and honestly the first time ive considered getting one over a Ford, there the best looking trucks out there now days and the interior is excellent...
Had transmission issues on my brand new Silverado 2500hd only 9k miles in. Sat at the dealership for almost a month with nothing done to it due to the part being on "national backorder" which says to me very loudly that there are a lot of these trucks with these transmission issues in these trucks only less than a year out the dealers lot. Nit to mention mine also came with a faulty a/c compressor and fir fear of having my truck sitting at the dealer again i ended up paying for that repair myself to be able to use the truck for work as was the original purchase reason. $950 for that repair. A week later temps in nyc hit 95 so it was necessary and well worth it. All makes dealerships are the same. They carry u in on the red carpet and throw u out rolled up in the same carpet after your purchase. Been reading about a few mods u can do to keep tranny temps low during the hot weather to avoid any issues. Recalls should be announced in a couple years after gm has sucked the blood out of u a few times .
All trucks are expensive now. Look at a Colorado or even the little Maverick. It’s insane what they want for a new truck in any class these days. Yes you get a truck but they charge as much as luxury cars and still don’t match up the quality of them.
I feel you've missed the most important part, reliability. Why does my 6.2 Denali have transmission issues at 55000KM ? Why isn't GM adressing the VVT/AFM issues costing owners thousands of dollars? At the cost of these beasts, they have to last much longer with less problems. After owning several GMC Sierras since 2004, this one is my last. TOYOTA, here I come.
I have a 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD extended cab with the LLY Duramax Diesel. In twenty years, I've only put 122,500 miles on it. The engine is just now broken in. I've never had any trouble with it outside a new master cylinder last year. I'd say I got pretty good value for my money. If I ever buy another truck, it'll for damned sure be another GMC.
At my price point, looking at both Chevy and GMC, and being a mostly Chevy guy, the value for me was in the GMC AT4. Got ALL the options I wanted without going to the upper levels of Chevy's costlier trucks. I've found that to be true in other Chevy vs GMC product lines. Just depends on what options you want I guess. Models and configurations are seemingly endless.
Why didn't GM NOT use the 4.3L (262 CID) in the PRO 1500 SWB and LWB trucks? I purchased a 1986 C-10 (1500) LWB with the 4.3L (262 CID) with the only option, a 35-gallon aux tank. I was able to drive 1,100 highway miles between fillups. I've been watching UA-cam/reading posts of mechanics stating reoccurring problems (DFM/AFM) with GM's power plants 2.7L (165 CID), 5.3L (323 CID), and 6.2L (403 CID). There are only two solid GM engines, the 4.3L (262 CID) and 6.6L (403 CID). My first used truck was a 1963 I6 270 CID (4.4L) with a 4-speed stick shift LWB that I bought from the original owner in 1982. Additionally, I owned a 1988 Chevy S-10 2.5L (153 CID) 2WD SWB. So, until GM gets their act together, I'm considering a GMC SIERRA 2500 HD 6.6L (403 CID) SLE 2WD CCAB LWB or Savana 3500 Extended Passenger Van 6.6L (403 CID). The main reasons are the 6.6L (403 CID) is old-school tech, meaning no auto start-stop; dynamic cylinder deactivation; and either vehicles can tow 10,000 lbs trailers. The Savana has a slight edge over the Sierra carry family members and two Large DOG crates. As a Senior, I require a vehicle with safety features to assist me in driving on blacktop roads in Georgia.
I had a choice between two brand new 1500's at the same dealership. One was a Sierra and the other a Silverado. Both were the same color. One was Slt the other a High Country. Different trim levels, yes, but about the same. Bought the Silverado at a lesser price because the Sierra just has a expensive brand name on it, and the rims were ugly. I wasn't upgrading those rims for 3k more. Both trucks do look good but the price will determine the end factor.
@@dyerjw2010 They both were the same, same color, same interior color, they just wanted more for that GMC. Camera features were a little different, but not much.
Owned three Silverado HDs, I’m done with GM, insanely expensive to replace my truck, bought a 23 Tundra limited TRD Pro package, Love the truck “ so far”, only 2700 miles so jury is still out, but 👍right now
A High Country doesn’t have as much standard equipment. Equip it the same way, there pretty close. The GMC looks better and almost always has expect 1984.
I own a 2024 GMC Sierra SLT Premium Package Maximum Tow, though I cannot attest to the recall information, this video seems way off. My Sierra's ride is amazing. I would disagree with all of this video, again, I haven't seen the issues, I hope I never will
Who produced this video? Someone from one of GM’s competitors? My 2016 Sierra Denali, with the 6.2 litre engine, is a tremendous truck and had run superb.
I wouldn’t take a Dodge for free. Transmission issues are a common problem in dodge trucks. I just purchased a GMC HD 3500 diesel and love it. The Duramax diesel and Allison transmission are proven workhorses. Love the large HUD and infotainment system.,Easy to use and functional.
honestly I have had both but chevy can't beat the 6.2 power I know have had my 2022 Sierra for 2 years and I cannot complain and I used it every day and put miles in it for my restaurant delivery
The choice comes down to personal preference and budget, the Sierra typically offers a more refined interior and luxury features at a higher price point.
You failed to mention the worst thing about the truck : the brakes are horrible. Truck takes a long time to come to a stop. Kinda dangerous. Tested 2024 gmc sierra with slt trim and v8 engine.
I'm doing my research as I'm getting a new truck (after my 2021 tacoma with 23k miles on it broke down) and was eying the 2024 Sierra. every other video is "X reasons to get it" and "X reasons to avoid it" I spent HOURS over a couple of months researching when I got my tacoma. I don't want to go through this again!!!
Well read most of these comments and the votes seem to favor non of the above. So Im going out on the limb and going with GMC because TO ME it seems like a built better truck. I will say it's like a high end truck compare to all the other brand trucks out there. Going with Sierra 1500 5.3 liter and 10 speed transmission . Wish me luck!!!
Been searching for a 3500 srw for a few months, everyone wants north of 84k w/o all the fees. Found one in Texas for 80k w/sunroof. Exactly what I wanted but I don't want a sunroof. Asked dealer I want to build exact truck but w/o sunroof, he said 84k and that's the price. I just saw a video on gmc trucks where the roofs are splitting apart, and that's w/o the sunroof. No f-----g way I will buy a gmc now. The big 3 are out of their f-----g minds, bodies and souls. And I always hated sunroofs.
Why would you compare a regular sierra to a raptor, clearly they’re not competitors, if you’re going to compare a raptor to anything on the sierra line compare it to the AT4X and the raptor is still more expensive.
Lol premium dealership experience? That's like 1 hour. You own a vehicle like this for 10 years. Only a beta male would have about some nonsense like this.
Why are you comparing a sierra to a raptor? They’re 2 completely different vehicles. GM doesn’t make a competitor to a raptor. The At4 is not a competitor to a raptor. It’s a competitor to a Rebel. A trx is a competitor to a raptor. So that’s like saying don’t buy a Toyota Corolla because it’s not a S55 Mercedes. They are not in the same tier of vehicle.
I won’t buy any GM vehicle again. If you don’t agree to Onstar terms and conditions, GM will display a warning messgae on the radio screen every time you start the car. They instruct their dealer not to disable this warning unless the owner agrees to sign up for onstar. Onstar should have gone away when cell phones became popular, just like the phones that used to be on airplanes. But onstar kicks back enough money to GM that they now must use coercion in their business model.
That chevy front end🥴. The GMC’s across all years-winner. The biggest thing that i don’t like is the AFM. I have an older Yukon(2005) with the vortec. Im looking at 2016-2018 yukon and they come w afm/dod. The lifter issue is concerning to me but the cost of parts and service is cheaper than other brands. Still on the fence.
GM trucks wouldn’t look so bad if they’d quit trying to carry on the square body look….those square wheel wells are so out dated on newer body styles …
So for all who won't pay these current prices...what are you buying if you need a HD? Toyota doesmt make one and you couldn't give me a new Tundra. Ram with their cylinder declination is a joke on a HD. We test drove a 2024 Silverado HD Z71 and a 2024 GMC AT4 in the same day. GMC is hands down higher quality. We told the sales rep for the Chevrolet these arent worth over $50k now. It looks like they used child's scissors to cut the floor mats. The Chevrolet (gas 6.6) was louder than than the GMC AT4 6.6 Duramax. We were shocked at how much better the GMC drove, handled, even the sharp turning radius. We are going to take our chance on a 2024 GMC Denali (used 5k). Addressing oil coolant before signing on the line. Ford has too many engine failures and is just ugly, Ram and their cyclinder reduction is not an option and their grill's are ugly, and Chevrolet is sadly declined on quality to what I would consider is now a chinese knockoff of GMC.
I dont understand how GM and others can justify these exorbitant high prices. Its the same old trucks through and through. There is no ground breaking tech to be found here.
This seems biased to the Ram. But the brakes do feel strange to me. The brake pedal is high and travels a lot to stop the truck. I still like my 24' 2500 AT4
Raise the body off the frame and they are the same! If one has a problem they both do and visa versa. The badge on the grill does not mean different truck! And why are they comparing its capabilities to a Raptor? They aren’t designed to compete with the Raptor!
I actually found my AT4 had a far better interior than my Ram. The Ram had better seats and that was it. Towing wise the GMC was far better then the Ram or the Rapotor. The GMC offered a superior package of BOTH offroad and towing capability capared to the Raptor.
Honestly this guy seems lost. The 1500 sierra Denali with the options I wanted was 80k and the 1500 high country was 77k…not sure where he got the 64k? Honestly the you can build the same truck from both brands and the GMC will always be about 2k more than the Chevy. Chevy does have more options but the comparable counter part is always close in price.
300k miles and repair costs less than 800 dollars so far and that bwas emission related repairs everything else very reliable 6.6 duramax id say a big win
@@mikewarren1401that’s because GM has many many models with different badges ….GMC, Chevy , Buick Oldsmobile Pontiac and I’m sure those figures are adding Saturn and whatever other products GM is a part of.
The AT4 IS a better comparison to the tremor models not the Raptor from ford. No maker has that 3.0 diesel except GMC (absolute amazing motor). yes the ram has the best interior. 😊. So where DO I agree..why buy a base GMC when you can get a BASE Chevy…but the higher trim lines are way better in a GMC than Chevy. I just came from a 21 Ford F150..loved the truck…not impressed with the recalls and gas mileage. Ride is close in all 3…to me it came down to the motor…The 3.0 duramax is the best motor of all 4 brands. Maybe the Chevy with the duramax is the best new purchase, but the at4 comes standard with that diesel. I’ve owned all of these trucks and can’t pick a clear winner.
Raptor is a different class of vehicle. Priced 70% more. You have to compare a SLT with the Lariat etc. . Denali with Platinum. This review looks like BS. Sierra is a great truck.
This guy compares an 80k Ford Raptor to a 50k Chevy 1500. I can do a lot to a Chevy with 30k to blow the Raptor out of the water. Most of his complaints are bs. Ford has way more recalls than any truck manufacturer. This was just a poor attempt at getting views.
Not, 😂 got a buddy that works for GM tech support ….he tells me all the time how EVERYTHING on every model of GM vehicles breaks… Just stupid things that break is what gets him going…..let alone ALL the engine problems he encounters on a daily basis..

Ur comparing a raptor to a sierra. If ur gonna compare compare the standard f150. It's raptor vs at4x.

I bought a 2024 GMC Sierra Duramax with a 3.0 inline 6 engine. This truck is fantastic - it's luxurious and has impressive speed. The GMC Sierra Duramax is truly top-notch. The sleek design and powerful engine make it a pleasure to drive. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with all the latest technology and amenities. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the GMC Sierra Duramax to anyone in the market for a new truck. It truly is a premium vehicle that exceeds expectations in every way.
I recently bought a 2025 gmc at4 W Duramax engine and 100% agree with your comment. This truck is formidable!
Did you even drive one before making this video? It doesn't drive like a truck at all! It feels like you're floating on a cloud. It's one of the things that impressed me since I was expecting it to drive like a truck (as it is one). Some of the other points you made were also wrong or sounds like you've never been in one. There's so much to love about this awesome truck. I love mine.
Car and driver gave the Silverado a 6/10 and the Sierra 1500 a 8.5/10
Shows how dumb car and driver is. I have both and they are literally the exact same Truck.
Yeah, and Stupidity is infinite with you, believing Car and Driver. They get paid for an opinion..
@@fit4ya1975 lol seriously, what? I agree there's no way they are that different.
Does your insurance company feel the GMC is different from the chevy?
@@fit4ya1975they are not the exact same truck. Chevy is cheaper and feels and looks cheaper. I drove both
I test drove a 2024 GMC Sierra with the AT4 package yesterday and I found it to drive very smooth and it handled well. By far the best looking full size pickup in the market. Your review is baseless in my opinion.
Their are differences in materials and options. Gmc has for example more sound dampening material. As well gmc offers more options with their vehicles that as a result adds weight which is why it would then have a lower tow rating.
As for raptor comparison only the TRX is actually a comparison. The AT4 is more of a tremor comparison.
Got the premium 3.0 Durmax 1500 then went and lifted it and now it gets good gas milage and is a beast of road .This video is off IMO and I wouldnt buy a Ram if you paid me lol haha. Truck rides amazing and 100k mile warranty works for me.
I bought one as well. I have the Elevation package. The only things I do not like about it was I thought it had adaptive cruise like my last two vehicles but for GMC it seems that is yet another addition that you have to know about (and my dealer did not tell me). I got REALLY used to having adaptive driving and damn near hit the back end of a car on I35 !!! The fuel mileage is wonderful for a fossil fuel truck. Love that 3.0 diesel. Very comfortable truck. Already drove it from Dallas to Big Bend for vacation. Hope i feel as good about the truck in three years when i will likely see about buying a plug in hybrid pickup....maybe.
So if I bought and lifted Chevy / GMC 1500. Would that avoid the warranty?
@@Beall_ Didn't void mine
Insane price for these trucks. None of them are worth more then $40k yet they are selling for $60k + INSANE.
82k for my 2023 Sierra Denali.
expert at yapping
Yes, we didn't come here to be told what we already knew (that they come in 2x4, 4x4 and different configs. Totally irrelevant.
I muted the video and checked the comments to see what we the pple think😂. I don’t know if I want a Silverado or Sierra and this video didn’t help lol
Who hurt you? I feel like this video is intentionally trolling viewers with obvious misinformation and misrepresentation. People do you own research and you'll see about the only thing he got right was #6 yes it's expensive, guess what all trucks are expensive these days. Top end Ram 80k, top end Chevy 78k, top end Ford 90k+ so GMC at 85k is high but not excessively so. smh
I have the 2024 GMC Ultimate HD and it is an incredible truck, 1 year with 0 issues. Highly recommend this truck hands down !
All of these trucks miss the mark. A utility work vehicle people can afford.
then you want the base model Chevy Silverado work truck, they're pretty cheap and reliable
I sat in the GMC 3500 at4 I thought it was one of the nicest trucks I had ever sat in looks amazing if I had the money that day I would’ve purchased it
I test drove both and the Silverado was missing luxury features unless buying higher trims. I rather the luxury😊
I have a 2024 gmc siera and no comparison to the chevy silverado. You get what you pay for. GMC all the way thumbs up.
My first truck ever was a 2016 Sierra 1500 SLE, I was in love with the body, my neighbor at that time had a 2019 Denali he let me drive around the corner and I fell in love all over again. So I traded flat 2016 for a 2019 Sierra 1500 SLT with a sunroof and I was a happy camper till they refreshed the interior with the newer screen and new shifter. So I traded my 2019 in for a 2022 GMC sierra 1500 diesel. One day I worked with a client and he left me his 2022 Ram 1500 longhorn and it was perfect interior and setup. So 2 months ago I traded mine in again for a 2023 Ram 1500 Limited Elite with panoramic roof and indigo sand interior. So far I love Ram interior better and cabin size more but I Love GMC exterior more than any truck. I wish I could build my own😂😂
@@airplanemilt Congrats on your purchase and they are great trucks regardless of what anyone says. I loved mine, only issued I ever had was a transmission and it was covered under warranty and they swapped it out in 3-4 days.
Why?
@roberthenry9319 why to which part? I don't mind explaining.
I always thought that GMC was a lot more expensive version of Chevy. But even building them on the websites the GMC's seem to have more straightforward build options and come out with better prices for what you get. The elevation is a very good value to get one of the best looking half-ton trucks out there with a lot of features including best in class camera systems and fuel economy with the 3.0 diesel.
The perfect truck does not exist, but your points seem to be regurgitated negative comments. I have owned all 3 brands and currently 2020 Ram 2500 and 2025 GMC 2500 Denali Ultimate. Only point I would agree with is the ride quality not towing is bouncy on the GMC. The lane keeping on the highway and being less affected by wind on the GMC with the wishbone causes less fatigue for me. Feeling the corners takes a little getting used to, and it is not a sports car, so you should be reminded to slow down. TOWING, the GMC ride quality is spot on, in my opinion. I would never buy and HD that does not have a purpose towing. The one thing I wish the HD had was Super Cruise. I got to use it between Dallas and Houston on I-45, which is normally a very stressful drive. It was unbelievable how much stress it took off and how much better it drove than most people. Since 2004, I have been strictly a RAM and Cummins owner with one Ford in 2014 that I hated from day one overall and now a 2025 GMC 2500. I looked at and drove them all before going with the GMC this time and absolutely not regretting the decision.
I had 2 silverados over the last few years, my most recent i went with the Sierra, actually got a better deal then what they were asking for the silverado... and the GMC looks, feels, and drives better than both of my silverados. And i had the 5.3 in both of them! Id actually prefer the 4 cylinder.
The mag ride suspension on the Denali, and Ultimate trim levels is easily the best riding experience over ANY truck in the market hands down. That coupled with super cruise and no other truck can beat it.
I'm a Ford guy and this video is totally crap. The new GMCs are amazing and honestly the first time ive considered getting one over a Ford, there the best looking trucks out there now days and the interior is excellent...
Had transmission issues on my brand new Silverado 2500hd only 9k miles in. Sat at the dealership for almost a month with nothing done to it due to the part being on "national backorder" which says to me very loudly that there are a lot of these trucks with these transmission issues in these trucks only less than a year out the dealers lot. Nit to mention mine also came with a faulty a/c compressor and fir fear of having my truck sitting at the dealer again i ended up paying for that repair myself to be able to use the truck for work as was the original purchase reason. $950 for that repair. A week later temps in nyc hit 95 so it was necessary and well worth it. All makes dealerships are the same. They carry u in on the red carpet and throw u out rolled up in the same carpet after your purchase.
Been reading about a few mods u can do to keep tranny temps low during the hot weather to avoid any issues. Recalls should be announced in a couple years after gm has sucked the blood out of u a few times .
I think their remodels on the chevy and GMC are nice, but in my area they're priced WAY out of the market.
All trucks are expensive now. Look at a Colorado or even the little Maverick. It’s insane what they want for a new truck in any class these days. Yes you get a truck but they charge as much as luxury cars and still don’t match up the quality of them.
I feel you've missed the most important part, reliability. Why does my 6.2 Denali have transmission issues at 55000KM ? Why isn't GM adressing the VVT/AFM issues costing owners thousands of dollars? At the cost of these beasts, they have to last much longer with less problems. After owning several GMC Sierras since 2004, this one is my last. TOYOTA, here I come.
I love the Denali, but I didn’t have 80K to spend on one. So I settled for the TrailBoss and couldn’t be happier.
don't worry no one has 80k to spend on an off roader, these prices are ridiculous, it's why GMC dealerships keep sending me $10,000 off MSRP ads
I have a 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD extended cab with the LLY Duramax Diesel. In twenty years, I've only put 122,500 miles on it. The engine is just now broken in. I've never had any trouble with it outside a new master cylinder last year. I'd say I got pretty good value for my money. If I ever buy another truck, it'll for damned sure be another GMC.
At my price point, looking at both Chevy and GMC, and being a mostly Chevy guy, the value for me was in the GMC AT4. Got ALL the options I wanted without going to the upper levels of Chevy's costlier trucks. I've found that to be true in other Chevy vs GMC product lines. Just depends on what options you want I guess. Models and configurations are seemingly endless.
Why didn't GM NOT use the 4.3L (262 CID) in the PRO 1500 SWB and LWB trucks? I purchased a 1986 C-10 (1500) LWB with the 4.3L (262 CID) with the only option, a 35-gallon aux tank. I was able to drive 1,100 highway miles between fillups. I've been watching UA-cam/reading posts of mechanics stating reoccurring problems (DFM/AFM) with GM's power plants 2.7L (165 CID), 5.3L (323 CID), and 6.2L (403 CID). There are only two solid GM engines, the 4.3L (262 CID) and 6.6L (403 CID). My first used truck was a 1963 I6 270 CID (4.4L) with a 4-speed stick shift LWB that I bought from the original owner in 1982. Additionally, I owned a 1988 Chevy S-10 2.5L (153 CID) 2WD SWB. So, until GM gets their act together, I'm considering a GMC SIERRA 2500 HD 6.6L (403 CID) SLE 2WD CCAB LWB or Savana 3500 Extended Passenger Van 6.6L (403 CID). The main reasons are the 6.6L (403 CID) is old-school tech, meaning no auto start-stop; dynamic cylinder deactivation; and either vehicles can tow 10,000 lbs trailers. The Savana has a slight edge over the Sierra carry family members and two Large DOG crates. As a Senior, I require a vehicle with safety features to assist me in driving on blacktop roads in Georgia.
I had a choice between two brand new 1500's at the same dealership. One was a Sierra and the other a Silverado. Both were the same color. One was Slt the other a High Country. Different trim levels, yes, but about the same. Bought the Silverado at a lesser price because the Sierra just has a expensive brand name on it, and the rims were ugly. I wasn't upgrading those rims for 3k more. Both trucks do look good but the price will determine the end factor.
High country less than an slt? Either the slt was loaded to the max or you got a great deal on the high country!
@@dyerjw2010 They both were the same, same color, same interior color, they just wanted more for that GMC. Camera features were a little different, but not much.
Owned three Silverado HDs, I’m done with GM, insanely expensive to replace my truck, bought a 23 Tundra limited TRD Pro package, Love the truck “ so far”, only 2700 miles so jury is still out, but 👍right now
A High Country doesn’t have as much standard equipment. Equip it the same way, there pretty close. The GMC looks better and almost always has expect 1984.
I have a 2022 GMC Elevation 4WD X31 Premium Package in Cayenne Red and it’s Awesome! Looks better than the Chevy’s and honestly any other brand!
I own a 2024 GMC Sierra SLT Premium Package Maximum Tow, though I cannot attest to the recall information, this video seems way off. My Sierra's ride is amazing. I would disagree with all of this video, again, I haven't seen the issues, I hope I never will
Who produced this video? Someone from one of GM’s
competitors? My 2016 Sierra
Denali, with the 6.2 litre engine, is
a tremendous truck and had run
superb.
I have 2020 Sierra Denali with 25000 miles 6.2 best truck I've ever had hands down!!
I wouldn’t take a Dodge for free. Transmission issues are a common problem in dodge trucks. I just purchased a GMC HD 3500 diesel and love it. The Duramax diesel and Allison transmission are proven workhorses.
Love the large HUD and infotainment system.,Easy to use and functional.
honestly I have had both but chevy can't beat the 6.2 power I know have had my 2022 Sierra for 2 years and I cannot complain and I used it every day and put miles in it for my restaurant delivery
What about the AT4X you didn’t talk about that at all?
I love my 2024 GMC AT4HD. Loved my 2020 GMC AT4HD.
I work at Chevrolet by the airport. Trust me you don't want a 2023 or 2024 Silverado. We are constantly reparing the transmission under warranty. Lol
This guys opinion on the interior is totally cooked. GM's new interiors are the best of any truck ever.
The choice comes down to personal preference and budget, the Sierra typically offers a more refined interior and luxury features at a higher price point.
Personally don’t love the Chevy headlight design for the current gen. They look very squished for a full size truck. Still like the Chevy a lot tho.
The GMC use to come with heavier duty parts including brakes u-joints tierods and ball joints among other GMC parts
You failed to mention the worst thing about the truck : the brakes are horrible. Truck takes a long time to come to a stop. Kinda dangerous. Tested 2024 gmc sierra with slt trim and v8 engine.
I'm doing my research as I'm getting a new truck (after my 2021 tacoma with 23k miles on it broke down) and was eying the 2024 Sierra. every other video is "X reasons to get it" and "X reasons to avoid it"
I spent HOURS over a couple of months researching when I got my tacoma. I don't want to go through this again!!!
Yeah, I’m looking at gmc sierra as well. I have a 2019 F-150
Best looking truck by far in my personal opinion.
Well read most of these comments and the votes seem to favor non of the above. So Im going out on the limb and going with GMC because TO ME it seems like a built better truck. I will say it's like a high end truck compare to all the other brand trucks out there. Going with Sierra 1500 5.3 liter and 10 speed transmission . Wish me luck!!!
Been searching for a 3500 srw for a few months, everyone wants north of 84k w/o all the fees. Found one in Texas for 80k w/sunroof. Exactly what I wanted but I don't want a sunroof. Asked dealer I want to build exact truck but w/o sunroof, he said 84k and that's the price. I just saw a video on gmc trucks where the roofs are splitting apart, and that's w/o the sunroof. No f-----g way I will buy a gmc now. The big 3 are out of their f-----g minds, bodies and souls.
And I always hated sunroofs.
They're nice for throwing empty beer cans out. They go right into the bed.
I WAS CONVINCED TO BUY A GMC AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO
Why would you compare a regular sierra to a raptor, clearly they’re not competitors, if you’re going to compare a raptor to anything on the sierra line compare it to the AT4X and the raptor is still more expensive.
I disagree. They cost EXACTLY the same. However, you get a premium dealership experience with the GMC.
Lol premium dealership experience? That's like 1 hour. You own a vehicle like this for 10 years. Only a beta male would have about some nonsense like this.
Why are you comparing a sierra to a raptor? They’re 2 completely different vehicles. GM doesn’t make a competitor to a raptor. The At4 is not a competitor to a raptor. It’s a competitor to a Rebel. A trx is a competitor to a raptor. So that’s like saying don’t buy a Toyota Corolla because it’s not a S55 Mercedes. They are not in the same tier of vehicle.
When I bought my 2023 GMC Denali. It was cheaper and offered way better options then Chevy. Hands down would another GMC over Chevy.
Yeah there's no way that's accurate
I won’t buy any GM vehicle again. If you don’t agree to Onstar terms and conditions, GM will display a warning messgae on the radio screen every time you start the car. They instruct their dealer not to disable this warning unless the owner agrees to sign up for onstar. Onstar should have gone away when cell phones became popular, just like the phones that used to be on airplanes. But onstar kicks back enough money to GM that they now must use coercion in their business model.
That chevy front end🥴. The GMC’s across all years-winner. The biggest thing that i don’t like is the AFM. I have an older Yukon(2005) with the vortec. Im looking at 2016-2018 yukon and they come w afm/dod. The lifter issue is concerning to me but the cost of parts and service is cheaper than other brands. Still on the fence.
the 3l diesel puts out just shy of 500 ft lbs of torque, not 460
GMC dealer giving bigger discounts making it a better value
Own a GMC Sierra over 50 thousand miles no problems so far…
GMC Sierra might cost more but still a better looking truck 😊
GM trucks wouldn’t look so bad if they’d quit trying to carry on the square body look….those square wheel wells are so out dated on newer body styles …
So for all who won't pay these current prices...what are you buying if you need a HD? Toyota doesmt make one and you couldn't give me a new Tundra. Ram with their cylinder declination is a joke on a HD. We test drove a 2024 Silverado HD Z71 and a 2024 GMC AT4 in the same day. GMC is hands down higher quality. We told the sales rep for the Chevrolet these arent worth over $50k now. It looks like they used child's scissors to cut the floor mats. The Chevrolet (gas 6.6) was louder than than the GMC AT4 6.6 Duramax. We were shocked at how much better the GMC drove, handled, even the sharp turning radius. We are going to take our chance on a 2024 GMC Denali (used 5k). Addressing oil coolant before signing on the line. Ford has too many engine failures and is just ugly, Ram and their cyclinder reduction is not an option and their grill's are ugly, and Chevrolet is sadly declined on quality to what I would consider is now a chinese knockoff of GMC.
Here in Alberta the ZR2 is 2-3k more expensive than the sierra at4 the dealers have gone nuts here
You wasted my time go ahead and actually drive them first clarity you’re not a truck guy… lol
I dont understand how GM and others can justify these exorbitant high prices. Its the same old trucks through and through. There is no ground breaking tech to be found here.
Was thinking of getting the at4x!
I have had several gmc trucks and put hundreds of thousands of miles on them. nice trucks no issues, I guess I was just lucky
In my area, the sierra was cheaper than the silverado...which is weird, but that's why I went with sierra
This seems biased to the Ram. But the brakes do feel strange to me. The brake pedal is high and travels a lot to stop the truck. I still like my 24' 2500 AT4
The Raptor was specifically made as a specialized sport truck, GMC doesn't really have anything in that cateogory.
And what about the problems with a chevy silverado.
Transmission problem.
Dash cluster problem.
Camshaft lifters..
Oil pressure sensor.😮😢
Raise the body off the frame and they are the same! If one has a problem they both do and visa versa. The badge on the grill does not mean different truck! And why are they comparing its capabilities to a Raptor? They aren’t designed to compete with the Raptor!
I actually found my AT4 had a far better interior than my Ram. The Ram had better seats and that was it. Towing wise the GMC was far better then the Ram or the Rapotor. The GMC offered a superior package of BOTH offroad and towing capability capared to the Raptor.
The Raptor is set up to race, not to tow.
Didnt like you compare the gmc AT4 vs Raptor. Theres a 20k difference with the options you listed. So thats not a fair comparison
Sierra looks so much better.
If Ram is the perfect truck, then why was it the only truck you could buy any version of for the past 3 years? Because no one wanted one
Im thinking about getting the 2024 at4 6.2.
Honestly this guy seems lost. The 1500 sierra Denali with the options I wanted was 80k and the 1500 high country was 77k…not sure where he got the 64k? Honestly the you can build the same truck from both brands and the GMC will always be about 2k more than the Chevy. Chevy does have more options but the comparable counter part is always close in price.
300k miles and repair costs less than 800 dollars so far and that bwas emission related repairs everything else very reliable 6.6 duramax id say a big win
Comparing it a raptor was absolutely stupid
Dude, I can't agree with practically anything you said. In my opinion, the interior design of the Sierra is much more beautiful than its competitors.
The main reason you should avoid it is it’s a GMC
Yet GM outsells everyone! They sell the most diesels too
@@mikewarren1401that’s because GM has many many models with different badges ….GMC, Chevy , Buick Oldsmobile Pontiac and I’m sure those figures are adding Saturn and whatever other products GM is a part of.
@@markcole6475 that’s just Chevy and GMC numbers. They are the same truck. I am just talking truck sales
@@markcole6475haven't made Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, or Saturns for years.
@@johnehlert4366 it was the point I was getting across ….
My Sierra 2.7T was 55k
End of year 23’
48600 out the door
Local Chevy couldn’t do that
Oh and it’s 430ft ponds of torque
The AT4 IS a better comparison to the tremor models not the Raptor from ford. No maker has that 3.0 diesel except GMC (absolute amazing motor). yes the ram has the best interior. 😊. So where DO I agree..why buy a base GMC when you can get a BASE Chevy…but the higher trim lines are way better in a GMC than Chevy. I just came from a 21 Ford F150..loved the truck…not impressed with the recalls and gas mileage. Ride is close in all 3…to me it came down to the motor…The 3.0 duramax is the best motor of all 4 brands. Maybe the Chevy with the duramax is the best new purchase, but the at4 comes standard with that diesel. I’ve owned all of these trucks and can’t pick a clear winner.
The visibility is excellent in this truck for what it’s worth
You can’t compare the built quality tho… i’ve seen both and thought like you. I went with GMC.
Raptor is a different class of vehicle. Priced 70% more. You have to compare a SLT with the Lariat etc. . Denali with Platinum. This review looks like BS.
Sierra is a great truck.
Ain’t nobody choosing a Silverado over a Sierra. Luxury only
I am.
2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 6.2 with 75kmiles and already dead! RIP engine failure
Since the 70s, GMCs have always been Chevys with more chrome.
And metal
Dodge hasn’t changed the look of their trucks since 2004
This guy compares an 80k Ford Raptor to a 50k Chevy 1500. I can do a lot to a Chevy with 30k to blow the Raptor out of the water. Most of his complaints are bs. Ford has way more recalls than any truck manufacturer. This was just a poor attempt at getting views.
Not, 😂 got a buddy that works for GM tech support ….he tells me all the time how EVERYTHING on every model of GM vehicles breaks…
Just stupid things that break is what gets him going…..let alone ALL the engine problems he encounters on a daily basis..
The Chevy high country is equal to the Sierra SLT and are both 64k
No price difference in Canada between Sierra and Silverado.
