GMC AT4X & DENALI ULTIMATE - THE SECRETS BEHIND THE NEW LUXURY TRUCKS!

EV Channels Review

The TFL Talking Trucks podcast delves into the escalating luxury and price of pickup trucks, focusing on the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate and AT4X. The AT4X is highlighted as a premium off-road variant, sharing mechanicals with the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2, featuring a 6.2L V8, and enhanced suspension with DSSV Multimatic spool valve shocks and front/rear lockers. Its exterior boasts a more aggressive, blacked-out look compared to other GMCs, while the Denali Ultimate offers darkened 'Vader Chrome' accents. Inside, both premium trims significantly elevate luxury with extensive leather, wood trim, and a suede headliner, aiming to justify their premium positioning. A key technological advancement discussed is the Super Cruise system, now available on the Sierra Denali Ultimate and Yukon, notably supporting towing – a first for GM. The podcast also touches on the Ford F-150 Lightning's production start, updated specs, and the ongoing trend of automakers expanding their electric truck offerings, alongside news on Rivian's new factory and GM's Duramax engine stop-sale resolution. The discussion concludes by lamenting the rise of subscription services for vehicle features.
