LIVING WITH THE 2026 GMC SIERRA EV AT4

EV Channels Review

The 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 is presented as a significant improvement over its Silverado and other Sierra EV counterparts, primarily due to its revised wheel and tire setup. The AT4's 18-inch wheels with 35-inch tires dramatically enhance ride quality, making it far more compliant over bumps compared to the 24-inch wheels on other trims. While the reviewer praises the luxurious interior, spaciousness, and the utility of features like the multi-function tailgate and ample power outlets, the truck's immense size and weight (over 8,800 lbs) are recurring concerns, impacting handling and maneuverability despite the impressive quad-steer system. The 478-mile range, achieved with a massive 205 kWh battery, is deemed excessive for many users, especially given the truck's high price point (over $90,000) and the slow home charging times. The reviewer highlights the excellent camera system and the quiet, insulated cabin as major positives. However, frustrations with the Super Cruise system's limitations (inability to pass) and the preference for Apple CarPlay over the native Google interface are noted. Ultimately, the AT4 trim is recommended for its improved ride, but its practicality is questioned for those who don't require its extreme range or can't accommodate its sheer size.
