This is just pathetic to be honest. I hope all car manufacturers crash cause a truck pretty basic is 63k imagine this same truck and same engine used to cost 32k 5 years ago so a couple extra tech things and double the price. Amazing
This is such a tough one for me. On one hand I know these prices are gouged and stretched so bad right now, but I also work pretty high up in a smaller company in the manufacturing industry and I can say that even our employess are making 40% more than they were 5 years ago. We're also charging double for our services compared to 4-5 years ago, and all of our material costs and expenses have gone up exponentially in that time. I 'm not sure what GM's manufacturing costs on a truck like this one, but I guarantee that things have changed enough to where 32k isn't even in the realm of possibility for them. All of that said, 63k is still ridiculous.
I bought the same exact truck January 2023 and the transmission started giving me problems at 18,000 miles. No towing, off-roading, or crazy driving. The good thing is that GMC is replacing the transmission.
Very nice truck. Great thorough review. Thank you. I don’t like the gauges, however. I want to see analog style gauges in addition to the tach and speedo, for at least oil pressure, temperature, battery voltage, and of course fuel. By the way, what is the fuel tank capacity? Is the extra cab and 6-1/2’ bed available in the Elevation?
Good review but you can get a lot more options at the elevation trim level with the premium package. You said "but this is just the elevation trim" for multiple options that you CAN get with the elevation.
had a 21 laramie 4x4 i traded for the gm.....the Ram feels like a car, rear end takes bumps better but overall feel was too soft....also you mentioned visibility, the GM imo is alot easier to see around the truck, the bed also in the GM is bigger......closing the doors and tailgate feel better in the GM, just more solid, hated the dial shifter in the Ram........Ram did have unbelievable brakes!...best brakes ive ever felt in a truck, phenomenal actually....and the LED headlights in the Ram were really good......i didnt like having to go into 12" nav to access everything like seats and climate....i know they have buttons for climate but they arent very functional........having had the 2019-2021 GM they did a really good job with new one......everything function really well, i would have liked a column shifter but whateves.......glad to be back in GM, didnt care for the Ram tbh.....like i said it just felt like a car and that turned me off but glad i got to try it out......
Oh shit !! I thought you where reviewing an F150 🤣😂🤣 the front end is 99.88 identical 🤣🤣🤣😂 GM always a copy cat's & always following the pack, never leading.
Great to know. Did you pay out of pocket, or roll it into the monthly payments? I think you can do the same with a sunroof. How much did you save having the dealer do it?
Crazy to see the market now! I got a 22' elevation with 3.0l with multipro tailgate, sunroof, blind spot sensors, hd surround vision and just about every package for 60k
That's not bad really considering everything you get. It would be ine of the best looking trucks out there if GM would quit putting f&cking plastic around the wheel wells. Just leave the damn thing the color of the vehicle. Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine
@@docholliday.4590 You aren’t alone, I have my Sierra in Pacific Blue Metallic, a gorgeous blue especially with the chrome accents but I can’t get over the plastic wheel well trimmings. Looking to get them painted or something.
@@dopeboyp3487 I had seen that, I remember going back to the dealer back in 2020 to have them ordered but they only had select colors at the time and the blue wasn’t one there. However I’ll be checking again when I get a new Sierra sometime this year or next year also in blue lol.
The 3.0 Duramax is the only way to go. I have a 2022 GMC SLT X31 with one and have no problem getting 32+ mpg on the highway with the same torque as the 6.2, the 2023 has even more hp and torque than the 2022.
I just brought a f1150. This is way I didn’t get a gmc product. No frontal camera, really ..no blind side monitoring really …f150 this is way they sell better ….
Good choice f150s are the most capable trucks on the roads today. I got rid of my 6.2 for the Ford because 3.5 ecoboosts are rocket ships. It felt way faster. It’s my first Ford but so far I’m not disappointed
damn, i got this same truck in RST version.....same truck with same options and my MSRP was 59k and change....chevy doesnt do $1500 onstar add on.....paid 5k under sticker but 63k is alot for a mid trim.....love elevation but i would just get SLT, for cpl grand more you get alot more stuff and its already 60k anyway, whats a few k more......better value imo........i actually should have just got LTZ, but whateves.....GM did a great job with refresh, i had a 21 elevation in cayenne....beautiful truck
I purchased this same truck two weeks ago. Drove an extra 150 miles to a dealership that didn’t have any markup fees on it but man the interest rate was high
You never get financing through the dealer. Shop around for the lowest rate and get a loan from the bank. Always lower rate than dealer. The dealer told me I couldn't get a lower rate. I had a big smile as I pulled out the check from the bank that was way lower than they were offering.
@@tattoomagic6110 not nowadays . GMC offered me 2.9. they had special financing where my credit union offered 5%. Still not bad considering today's rates but I would never do anything over 4
These pickup prices is out of control. WOW
And this elevation package is probably the best value. That's saying something since GMC is known as the luxury oriented brand.
@@davidzambrano9126 outside of ambient lights around the cab and leather it damn near bmw luxury
Yep, got an LT z71 in 2017 for 37k new and they’ve almost doubled
It’s across the board though bro… I almost bought the AT4 but they wanted 20k above sticker… I got my x31 for only 3k above sticker …
My coworker bought a 2019 double cab 5.3l for $44k. Now the same truck is $55k
The truck itself is gorgeous but missing some features I’d want at THAT price tag.
GM is missing the big opportunity in what people want for a certain price. That’s why I won’t buy a truck.
Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for tomorrow’s review of the 2023 Buick Enclave Avenir!
Blind spot should be standard on all new cars imo.
Base Camry is standard with it. GM always screws its customers over.
No cus not every one likes that feature or wants it
they bikers must want to die lol
😅
Too much talking bro
$63k for an Elevation trim? Hell NO.

My very first pickup truck!! Terrific job bro.
Thank you!👍🏼

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE Elevation X31 OFF-ROAD Package Crew Cab 4X4!

Thx for the review man I just picked up the exact model but with a bose systems take ownership tomorrow!
Congrats man. How you liking it so far, and which engine did you pick? I’m taking delivery of mine in about 2weeks.
That is way too much tree bark/monopoly money for that truck 🚛😳😠
Those are 100% functioning air vents on the front lower bumper.
What do they provide air to?
Can you adjust the stereo volume on the steering wheel?
No blind spot monitoring 😂
Huge pass!
What’s the difference with the x31?
Shocks skid plates suspension duel exhaust and 4 low
They need to update there mid package option.
Use bumper cut outs to get in the bed of the truck, c'mon man.
Which is faster Nissan titan or gmc elevation with the 5.3
Or 2.7 turbomax?
Mid-level starting at 60k.............
More than likely trading my 21 6.2 Trailboss for one of these next year.
Why?
Keep that 6.2
Averaging 24-28mpg in the 3.0L Turbo-Duramax in the GMC. More Appealing and Solid than sister Chevy. 6.2L 14mpg 😮
Prices are going up so fast that even during this review, the running boards incresed by 100$. From 700 to 800 smh
How was the Silverado released in ‘99 when they’ve been around for decades and my buddy has a 93 Silverado with a small block
One day, one day
Amen brothers!
The 2.7 is 87 octane for max torque. That’s what it was tuned for. FYI.
I say the same thing when I see bikers in my lane while the sun is blinding me,came close couple times
Good job on the review.

Plus Rams are GAF 😁
What’s the price of this?! I want this!!
5th generation and it’s been around since 1988?
82k… for a freaking Denali. Unreal.
the 2 things i wanted not on it...smh...
Only 800 a month lease. That’s all
You force people to get serious xm

@@2402zia I understand you don't own a new one 2022 F150
Dealer can install leather, they did a great job on mine. Prevented me from paying more to get it from factory. Love the review.

No bose system, no leather for that price nope!
Nice video Bro!👊🏽💯
I'll take it!!
That's 500k right there
63k in Florida ?? That works out to 120k in Canada
70k cdn right now,oct/12/23,deal on one for 66kcdn

Ordered a 2022 refresh 1500 denali back in February, no truck still and I'm pissed at gmc. They can shove it.
I finally found something's better about the prerefreshed truck, which I have that would be there is no door Chime

Agreed!
Onstar to ensure you can't go anywhere in "your" $60k truck during the next pandemic shutdown. 🤨
$45k truck at most
You ok?
63k, and it doesnt even have an auto dimming mirror?
But you can't get an elevation with ventilated seats...

They’re not even on the same trim level, that’s like comparing a Ford Raptor to a Ram Laramie Sport.

63K with cloth seats..🫣🙄. It's a good looking truck though
