If you're in the market or just interested in pickup trucks in general, you probably
have asked yourself, what is the perfect truck? And you know, a lot of that is just personal preference, but the way vehicles are laid
out, the features they have, the things that they offer, the durability, the fuel economy
a lot of those things go into whether or not a vehicle or a truck is good and let alone perfect
So I know I'm Zane from GM-Trucks.com, but I'd like to make the argument that this Sierra
AT4 Carbon Pro Edition is in fact the perfect truck. And so if you bear with me, I'll tell you why
A perfect truck needs a modern interior, and the Sierra AT4 Carbon Pro not only has
the comfort, technology, and safety you'll need to drive it on a daily basis, but you're
going to love it at the same time. As far as comfort, this thing has a dual-zone climate control, heated and cooled seats
and a huge second row for all your kids, dogs, or anything else you want to put back there
And its technology credentials are off the charts. Not only are we looking at a almost full digital gauge cluster, but we have a heads-up display
a six-camera system that gives us surround-view monitors, including a bed-view camera and
a rear-view camera mirror, but also a full infotainment system that's Android Auto and
Apple CarPlay compatible. And this Sierra's safety credentials are impressive as well
Not only does it have full adaptive cruise control with automatic emergency braking
but it also is equipped with rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring
So you can drive this AT4 every day and feel safe and secure, and know that it's looking
out for you at every moment. And on top of all that, if you're like me and you gotta have your tunes while you're
driving down the road to work, it also comes with a premium Bose sound system and a wireless
device charger to keep your cell phone topped off no matter where you're headed to
To me, the perfect truck needs to have at least some amount of off-roading skills
Now I'm not talking about going down the Rubicon Trail, we'll leave that one up to
the Hummer EV. But if you bought a truck and it can't at least go down a dirt road or an abandoned
trail because you're afraid that you'll scrape the undercarriage or chip your paint, well
you might as well have gone out and purchased a crossover. So thankfully, the Sierra AT4 was built for off-roading
It comes standard with a factory-equipped 2-inch suspension lift and meaty 33-inch
Goodyear Wrangler Duratec tires
A perfect truck needs a kick-ass tailgate, and this is GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate, which
allows you to configure it in up to six or seven different ways
You can put wood in here and keep it from coming out. You can have a nice little bench to set your laptop and work, or even better yet, it allows
the tailgate to convert into steps, so it's easier for you to get in your vehicle
A perfect truck needs a really good engine, and diesels and pickup trucks have long been
synonymous as being side-by-side when the real work gets done. So when you walk up to this Sierra AT4 Carbon Pro and see Duramax diesel on the front fender
and under the hood, it gets me really excited. This is GM's three-liter, six-cylinder turbo diesel, a younger cousin, you could say, of
the company's HD 6.6-liter Duramax. It gets 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, which is very comparable to the
6.2-liter gas engine, but gets slightly better fuel economy. It's a great match for this Sierra and gives you plenty of performance no matter what sort
of towing and hauling you plan on doing, and I think makes the perfect complement for a
perfect truck. And considering the 3.0-liter Duramax gets over 25 miles to the gallon and has a range
of over 600 miles, you won't need to visit this place very often
One of my favorite features of GMC's MultiPro Tailgate is this, the optional Kicker Pro
audio system. It features two completely waterproof speakers and uses your phone or tablet to stream music
to the tailgate of your truck. From the campsite to your backyard or work site, you have instant audio entertainment
on the back of your truck, and it's just one of the cool ways that you can enjoy your pickup
no matter what the circumstances may be. Sometimes you just gotta let off a little steam, and you wouldn't catch me doing that
with a steel bed or a spray-on bed liner. This bad boy is the GMC CarbonPro bed
It's a GMC exclusive, and it's not a steel bed or a spray-on bed liner or even a drop-in
liner over a steel frame. The inside of this truck bed is entirely a carbon-infused composite, and as you might
have figured out with the 2x4, it's nearly indestructible. You can beat on it, you can drop rocks on it, you can jump on it, you can put dirt or
aggregate or whatever you want back here, and it will never dent or rust
And to me, that's a really awesome feature for a perfect truck
So is this the perfect truck? I'd really like to hear what you think
Is this 2021 Sierra AT4 CarbonPro the perfect truck? If you don't agree with me or if you do agree with me, make a comment below and let me know
what you think. I'm really interested in what your personal preferences are
We've gone over all of this vehicle's features, from its factory two-inch lift to its powerful
Duramax diesel engine and all of the technology and creature comforts in between
And for me personally, I really, really like this truck. It checks all the boxes for me
I can comfortably drive it to work every day. I can use it for all my chores on the weekend
I can put my family, my dog, my son, everybody can come along with me and be extremely comfortable
in the process, and it just has everything that I would want to have in a pickup
And to me, yep, it's my perfect truck. I'm Zane from GM-Trucks.com
I can't wait to see you next time
