Too Pretty For Off-Roading? // 2022 GMC Sierra AT4X Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Can't help but love a black truck, even better is one with front and rear lockers.. but an $80k Luxury 4x4 is just nerve-racking to drive off-road. Today I put the 2022 GMC Sierra AT4X to the test and see just how capable it is.

You've driven this truck more offroad than 99% of its owners will ever do anyway. The most offroad trucks see here is the speed bump at the Mall.
Hehehe!
The majority of the 4x4s are bought for winter roads, not back-country driving. There isn't anything wrong with that.
@@PetrolJunkie aside from the fact 4x4 trucks still aren’t that great in the winter. Not enough weight over the rear axle, AWD cars are the way to go for winter driving.
@@SarahnTuned yeah!! My moms AWD Infiniti QX60 (2016) absolutely crushed her old Ford Explorer (2004) on the snow and ice. It’s the exact reason you say, the Infiniti is more car like and the explorer was more pickup like.
@@SarahnTuned That’s true if all you need is an AWD car.
I make a lot of money in the winter pulling AWD cars and SUVs out of ditches with my 4x4 Silverado 3500 HD. There’s that.
My 17 Sierra SLT premium plus z71 cost me 44.5k. The prices now a days make me sad. Yeah this has better suspension and electronic lockers, but still.... 80k?
I hear you, I bought my fully loaded 2019 Ram Power Wagon new and paid $53,000, it had 32 miles on it lol
Yeah.. anything over $30k is an expensive car to me 🤷🏻♀️
Might aswell just get a basic V6 tacoma and mod it
@@SarahnTuned Anything over $10k is expensive to me. 😅😅
Yeah you're not kidding prices a ridiculous. There's a used "rocky ridge" Sierra at my local dealership and they want 83k for it. Rocky ridge or not for that price used it better go to space
As always, staying up until the middle of the night to see my favorite car reviewer doing her excellent work, because Sweden...
tack själv!
@@SarahnTuned ❤
@@SarahnTuned Your answer in Swedish made my day! 🤩
Yes it's pretty. I'm old enough to remember when a GMC truck was a truck, not a luxury vehicle.
Back in the sixties, seventies and eighties they were the primary GM work, bare bones truck.
@@BillySBC
They make up for by being super affordable.
Oh, wait...
@@BillySBC I think it sucks that you can't get a double cab/cab & 1/2 in the Trail Boss version.
A 6 1/2' bed is at least somewhat useful.
Yes, and they're still doing it on the farm without folding up like soda can.
I miss a time when trucks weren't a status symbol or fashion accessory. They were simple, reliable and reasonably priced vehicles for people who needed to move tools or a load around but now how are you supposed to look cool unless you show up at costco or the mall in a $80k+ truck...
@@BillySBC Yeah, you do a lot of open tailbox hangover but you can still do it.
I build large factories nationwide. On the jobsite that would be the bosses truck. The work horses are almost all 4X4 F-250's and 350's. Thank you for your time.
The best channel for vehicular reviews...😎
Nitrogen filled tires is a scam. Roughly 70% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. Otherwise, great review, as always. :)
I agree, however, there is an advantage of using nitrogen in tires. The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. An oxygen molecule actually has a smaller kinetic diameter than a nitrogen molecule. Therefore, it is easier for the oxygen molecules to pass between the polymer chains of the rubber compound that was used to make the tire. A tire filled with nitrogen only will hold its target pressure longer than a tire filled with compressed air.
@@tomheringer2047 and as the oxygen molecule passes through the rubber it destroys it
Nitrogen filled tires is absolutely a scam no question about it! Very shameful!
@@leedanielson7452 is the Earth round?
@@mostcom I don’t know if it’s round or not but don’t be a sucker and fall for car dealers when they put nitrogen in the tires and charge you a pretty penny for it.. I realize there are a lot of gullible people that would pay extra for that…..
I think I've seen one too many Sarah videos as I frequently do a 'bolster check' in my Mazda & pronounce sport mode 'schport mode' when I change the engine settings. My friends just look at me & shake their heads. I guess it's time to measure the sway bars! 😁
Ha! Me too. I'm always saying "Oh Jeez" when I hit my brakes.
OMG....I now say SCHPORT out loud to no one when I push the sport button in my MINI! 😀🤣
Never seen in Germany a Girl thats so much interrested in cars and so pretty like Sarah. Thx 4 Reviews
You can take the truck, I'd rather have Sarah... because I've got a '94 Ranger that could use some work. And she's proven herself the best in the business when it comes to restoring older model Ford Rangers.
Yup you can trust her, pretty awesome gal
With your jampacked schedule(no lunch!) I'm glad you enjoy driving such a variety of vehicles. Your videos are so much fun, I look forward to them with anticipation!
"there's a lot of other trucks I'd rather spend $80k on..."
That was my feeling at the beginning when I saw the price... this is a $65k truck, tops.
I own this truck, and I most definitely take it off road! It's also now got 860 horsepower, a 4" lift, and 37" tires. So I guess it's not really an AT4X anymore. Can't beat the interior of this truck though. I'd take this over any Ford or any Ram any day!
I also own this truck and love it, haven't done anything to it yet tho. Did u swap out the multimatic shocks? Would love to see a photo of your truck after the lift
I absolutely love those tires. I have a set on my truck and they are amazing for all terrains. I've had great luck with them with snow and mud, better than any other off road tires I've used. That's a great looking truck.
Excellent video, really enjoyed all the stats and figures, very informative. I'd never be able to afford $80K but if I was in the market for one this review provides excellent information. Very professionally filmed, edited and presented. Totally agree about the splochiness on the grey grille, looks like Q.C. went adrift, must be the same guy that did the blue and green paint markers. But still a very nice tech savvy rig.
I have two friends that own the Chevy 1500 4x4 with the straight 6 Duramax. They are both averaging around 36 to 37 mpg. Had I known that (before I bought it), I would have never bought a Pilot!!
The penguin score on that skirt is a 10!!!! F****CK!
Another great video. Forgot to give a shout out to Charlie for the exhaust adaptor for the Quattro. Quality work Charlie!
Very competent off road. Nice interior. I agree with you that there are some other vehicles out there for less money that are "better", depending on what one wants. Thorough review by my favorite garage dweller!
Miniskirt car reviews are the future.
I was so waiting for Sarah to call this Sierra Alpha Tango 4 X-ray…
Great review as only. Maybe would give you nightmares long term, but that black is SHARP.
Love it when Sara nerds out on big heavy towing/off road type automotive technology. Love all the content. Very versatile young lady. 👌🏻
Really like the tires on that thing.
80k these vehicle companies have lost their minds. But always entertaining Sarah!
So regarding Nitrogen. As far as I understand the point of using pure nitrogen in racing tyres is that the tire pressure changes that occur as the tire heats up are more predictable than when using random air to fill the tires., meaning you can fill the tires cold knowing exactly what the race pressure will be. What is the benefit in this application?
High temperatures in Arizona
In theory the molecule size of nitrogen is bigger and doesn't pass through the tire as easily as non- nitrogen. Standard air in tires losses about 1 psi per month. Problem is you have to be fully committed. As soon as you put standard air in any benefit is gone.
Marketing.
It is handy in the winter as it will keep your psi from dropping
I also noticed you said that it had an independent front suspension. It's actually a custom upper and lower control arms and coil over springs shocks. The rear leaf springs do have the blocks and custom shocks for the lift. 😅😅😅
I love your style of reviews, hilarious yet very informative!
I feel like i was denied a proper bolstering test. Thats the most important part of the review in my eyes.
Me, too. But the high speed driving on a bumpy trail seemed to fill the void.
Clever multi function tailgate; otherwise too ginormous for me. Great review as always Sarah!
I absolutely love the style, features and the luxuries of GMC Sierra’s. My 2014 Z71 off-road LTZ Silverado was 44k brand new and it pretty much has the same qualities, a 2.5” lift wasn’t expensive too. Although I’ve been staying up to date with the Sierra’s and the price keeps rising and rising. I have 280k; (least to say, nothing wrong with what I have,) it has served me well and I don’t intend on selling it, but I dearly desire 3500 HD GMC with 6.6L diesel. So far the best rear view.
I've got to say Sarah is the best person to watch doing reviews on trucks and cars. But would love to see her review some old military wheeled vehicles.
Love your vehicle reviews. Informative but highly entertaining 😀👍😀
love all your videos!! keep up the good work and your definitely easy on the eye balls!!
The engines are a real assache to work on, and we work on them a lot. The entire wiper cowl and sheet metal is removable so it helps. I’m 6’ tall and I still need a topside creeper to do any meaningful work. We do ALOT of lifters and cams still even though you’d think they’d have figured it out by now. DFM complicated things even more than AFM now that all 8 cylinders can deactivate vs just 4.
The 20 Inch & The 33 Inch All-Terrain Tires Are My Favorites Along The 6.2L Big Boy V8 Which Is My Favorite Because It's A 5.4 Second Truck Along The Multi-Flex Tailgate Which Is My Favorite.I Think AT4X Stands For AT4 Max.
It could just be me, but I don’t think “splotchy” paint should ever happen on an $80K vehicle.

Uncle Hank is feeling really bad today. First you pick on his paint skills, then you pick on his knees.
Think of this truck as the GMC version of a Range River and that's the market.
Nice review as always, Sarah. 🙂
Another great review fun and informative by my RUclips crush 😻
2005 GMC Sierra 6.0L engine has twin exhaust pipes into the muffler then one to the exhaust tip.

Hello from Glasgow. 😀🏴
LOVE the fact you take 4x4s off road.
Someone needs to build an affordable truck that's safe and can tow/haul a reasonable amount. Like $25,000 and maybe haul 1,750 lbs. in the bed and tow 7,500 lbs. I know I'm barking at the moon.
Ford Maverick is a close fit
@@SarahnTuned Hope my 4.0 L '06 Tacoma TRD Sport lasts forever!
It would be interesting to compare turning circles on the bigger trucks 😊
You know, I always think about filming that but never do, or if I do, I don’t put it in the video.
The turning circle ratings for bigger trucks would be ( Out of 5 )
5. Dogshit
4. Big pile of dogshit
3. Huge pile of dogshit
2. Huge steaming pile of dogshit

Why do I get a funny feeling every time a woman mentions a Panhard Rod? Very nice presentation of the underpinnings of this boat towing bromobile. Does it make one's biceps look bigger with an arm out the window? Massively capable as it didn't break a sweat on the hill climb. Great work, Sarah!
Finally, someone who appreciates 3, 1/2” piping. Ba dum tiss! I’ll show myself out. 😅🤣
This video earned a 🥁.... 4.2/5 Butterfly 🦋 score based on presentation and info given and how cute the scientist is! 😉👍
My Bro has the AT4 w/ the 3.0L Duramax, gets around 27MPG and it drives and rides well … I wouldn’t miss the V8’s if I was the owner and really don’t think my brother does either!
Very detailed review. I don't think most reviewers are this detailed.
Filming in 4K now.... nice! 🔥
I try, it’s hard to keep up with hard drive space. It makes editing more time consuming in 4K.
The AT4X short wheelbase Yukon would be my choice. Will you review that one????????
Great review! It's hard to justify this one over a way less expensive ZR2, but the AT4X is a beauty.
It's a bit of a bummer how much towing capacity the off road trucks lose though. My AT4 Canyon diesel can tow almost as much as this (7550 vs 8800). Crazy!
It performs well off road but I'd get the ZR2 instead. I just wish VW would bring its Amarok to the US. When i was in the Panama Canal zone, the locals used nothing but the VW to go off road so I think it performs well in the jungles.
Would love to see a segment where you and one of your friends name a car and the other has to describe the type of person who would drive that car.
I work too much to have friends, the only ones I had, have moved or are moving away.
Oh no.. ITS time for bed. Now I've got to stay up. Joking of course. Hardest working content creator on RUclips, deserves my eyeball. ♥️
IMHO they put WAY too much crap into cars these days. Damn I don't need 3/4 of that garbage.
Base models are rad! I agree
Did I heard an “holy shrt” without a beep? @ 10:53 LOL!
As captivating as Sarah is, I just can't stand the thought of paying $80k for that. $80 large will buy my Ram 1500 daily, Porsche Boxster S, side-by-side and enough money left over to buy her a nice dinner. That being said, I'm chomping at the bit for her Cybertruck review. 😁
I paid $54K new for my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L) fully loaded. I have put about $10K in mods in it to "make it mine". Replaced/added: tires, wheels, Pulsar LT, Bilstein 5100 shocks, front bumper, CAI, CB radio, headache bar, exhaust, etc. Still not even close to $80K. It is waaay more capable now...but, no front locker. Those stock Goodyear Duratracs...made-for-fleet-sales junk IMHO.
Great review Sarah. Love all your comments and expertise on this GMC AT4. You are always entertaining on all your reviews!! Keep the great vlogs coming girl!!! LOVE IT!!! ❤️ 👍 😊
Driven by the prettiest off road driver
I saw where Brembo 6 piston calipers are available with larger rotors for 2023
LOL! Love the F-bombs, and calling contractor who drive GMC Sierra's Bougie was my favorite part. Keep Rock'n ..Literally!!
Be cool to see the Power Wagon on here, front and rear lockers, disconnecting sway bar, multilink rear, solid front and rear axles and a winch. Be curious to see, I take mine through some crazy crap (sister invites me on their jeep runs) but I’ve done a few upgrades like high clearance bumpers, leveled, upgraded sway bars, 37s and so on.
Would also be cool to see your piece of garbage on a tow truck.
@@murraymoore5320 lmao how’s your moms basement treating you?
Si Sarah Sierra.. the rail sys under looks like old H2 but with some less Skid plating? The fail in Broncos OEM bars on early mods. The Edif and quality of mats make the pricing fair.
Very cool truck, I wish they sold them in the UK 🇬🇧
I was looking into this truck as well as the Silverado Trail Boss and I feel that the top offering engines in all of the GM "off road" vehicles is lacking. That point is even more important on this specific model because for $80K this thing should at the very least compete against a Raptor in performance.
Nitrogen fills are a con, the normal air is 78% Nitrogen so to replace the oxygen you would have to first vacuum all the air out of the wheel before filling with Nitrogen
Lack of towing capability and tiny bed are reasons I went with a super duty tremor instead of an at4. Great looking truck just too expensive for a half-ton.
Another great review, Sarah. GMC trucks always seem to be a notch above Chevy trucks. And this one doesn't disappoint. I think you might just have one of the best off-road courses of any car reviewer on You Tube. I also appreciate your comment about the GMC Canyon. I happen to own the Denali version of that truck and love it. I really enjoy an off-road review with a picture of the vehicle with a wheel completely in the air. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I like that gmc I think it would pull my soon to up grade from a class A to a fifth wheel. now all I need to finish in the top ten in a tournament.lol
Geez, so that's how much a neighbor paid for his truck. With the shipping to Hawaii, I bet the price was even higher.
No wonder I always see it in the driveway.
Awesome! Sarah, love a nice pickup truck!! Thanks for sharing features!
Hope you get one of the little duromax 1500s to review.
Morning coffee and Sarah love this channel 🇦🇺🤗👍
Maybe it was "take your kid to work day" at the GM plant, and that explains the green market!
Great review! I have a 2020 HD and I’m constantly using the HUD and forward camera for steep approaches.
Sarah you make all those trucks look so good.
What was that clanking sound when you started it for the sound test in the garage. . Thank you for your time to the reviews 😀 😊 🙏
Nice driving Sarah, but I still don't understand why big trucks like this in the USA still use gas guzzling big V8's.
It's no wonder Biden had to go kiss ass in Saudi recently.
Why can't they use big diesels, better torque's, better economy, and arguably longer lasting.
In this day and age monster petrol V8's in monster trucks makes no sense.
Love the channel by the way, when it comes to all kinds of work on cars, your a true inspiration.
That paint market is prolly marks to let quality know that the assembler did checks after assembly for quality
Great review, especially having a look at the underneath of the truck. The paint marker everywhere must have been a Monday morning build after a long weekend bender......🤣
I don't get the nitrogen filled tires, seeing as how regular air is 78% nitrogen already. Do they charge extra for that?
Also, would love to know what the payload capacity is on this truck and all your truck reviews. A lot of trucks have pretty low payload ratings which really limit their usefulness in towing and hauling.
Keep your reviews coming, we all love 'em!
Sarah Baby, you've got Pro,Babyyyy !!!! 🐧🐧🐧
Damn, I feel exposed with the contractor comment. Spot on though. Need my 4x4 but wanna look fly in the process.
Spot on review. Too expensive and not offroady enough for an off road vehicle. Looks great though. I work with chevys and the zr2 disappointed me a bit. I expected it to compete with the raptor and trx but it falls way too short of that mark.
Wow! this thing cost more than my house did in '92!
Alot of those contractors write off the cost of these monster trucks as a business expense, if they're smart. They're almost as subsidized as EVs, in a roundabout, old school, way. They cost 80k for some of the same reasons college is ridic expensive.
For 80k I can get a Porsche or Mercedes AMG
Yeah and would be crap off road
Just curious will you ever work on your sister's Xterra again? I loved the content for it (one of my fav cars) and I would love to see whatelse you could do to it. Keep up the great content!
That header pipe is likely dual wall so the inner pipe is probably 3".
I'm getting the 2024 AT4 with the LZO, more reliable and way better on mileage.
I have a review coming next month on that!
One day I will get this
This would be better compared to another more luxury specific truck like the Ford F150 Platinum Limited 4x4. One equipped close to the ATX is just over $84K.
"with your favorite shopdwelling Sarah"
Well.... after the last video with little Sarah, there's some competition... ;o)
Hi Sarah, the color of your top matches the the interior color perfectly.I guess the truck was made for you. Or you dressed for it????
I don't understand why people doubt gm and their durability and performance?
Seems like no one else appreciated your road soda storage reference. I sure did! Was it a cooler cubby too?
Please put the SAE stats in the lower part of the video. Thanks
Hello Sarah, greetings from South West England to South West Americaland. Given the choice, I'd pick your gram's Ranger all day long over this big ol' thing. Stay fabulous Sarah.
Excellent video!
Great review Sarah!
Cannot believe the price of trucks and vans now it's unreal the increase last few years! (And cars tbh!) But utilitarian type vehicles aren't supposed to be unaffordable! Lol
Nice truck but too expensive for most people to consider who would most likely want one...
Great video as always! 👍😎🏴
