Great choice. Beautiful with the Denali chrome.

The original one I looked at had 22" rims, 4 inch lift, 6.2L V8, Denali package. It was badass, but not my style and way over priced.

No practical reason for this. The base AT4 Sierra has 10-11 inches of ground clearance already.

If that isn't getting it done, you need an ATV or a side by side.

With TTL it'll be close to 69K



My Tundra was 47K and it feels like a Rolls Royce with a bed. I cant imagine paying 22K more

I guess I'll just drive bare bones vehicles the rest of my life because I'm not paying 60k for a vehicle. My XLT was 33k and it has all I need.

live in Montana, so I drive on the highway and fast 2-lane backroads a lot, so the fuel economy of the diesel is very appealing for me. 25ish highway MPG in a full size truck is pretty awesome.
you won’t get it. If you baby the pedal on flat ground. Yes. You put it on cruise at 75 plus not even close.

I got it. I like it. But it doesn’t scare the mileage they tell you. I’d get the 6.7 over the diesel if I did it again.

2021 AT4 here.

And my power steering went out about a week in fwiw

They almost all have auto start/stop now along with cylinder deactivation. If the fuel economy crap on the modern trucks annoy you, try Range Technologies (Amazon)
thanks. The stop start thing blows. Yes you can hit the button every time but who wants to do that

Pretty much no way this is legit. Extended warrant is at least $2k and assuming LA you're around 9% tax. So you're around $57k selling price. We'll assume $1k for title/license and doc fees, so more like $56k. You didn't get a Duramax Denali HD for $56k.


Had to go to the glovebox and check my invoice. You are correct. I had $64 in my head but it was $64 unit price + a $3.4K rebate then warranty and TTL got me to $68 out the door. It is the HD with Duramax and it was purchased in Katy, TX not LA so 8.25% tax. Sorry not dishonest just bad memory. Still not bad though considering my purchase was $61 before TTL & warranty.

I am not saying the list is shite, but given that there is little to no history, I believe the list is shite.

XLT is nicely equipped. If you need more shite in your vehicle than that then you’re really just looking for a luxury car and not a truck.

Are there that many 2021s on the road today to justify this report? Seems like a big leap to me.

I loved my 2006 Tundra, but I've experience issues with it that I shouldn't.

As somebody who's put 390k miles on three 5.3's, I respectfully disagree.

Nothing wrong with the 5.3 it’s just not fun as the 6.2.

Yeah, I don't need leather, retracting side steps etc. I just can't justify adding 20k+ to a truck cost for luxury features. I guess some people are willing to pay it though. Maybe if I was a millionaire.

The engines are excellent! I have three trucks. ‘04 Silverado, ‘06 Silverado, and a ‘07 Sierra. 700,000 miles combined. All on the same engines with zero major issues. Transmissions? Not so much. The 4l60e is not that great but, you have either the 8 or 10 speed. They had a lot of issues with the 8 speed when they came out. Maybe they have it lined out. No info on the 10 speed.
