thanks much for the trim difference videos. first watched at4 vs at4x difference video and as you said box length was a deal breaker for me. now searched for elevation vs at4 again your video popped up. super thanks!!!!

Thursday makes a year with my 5.3 2021 elevation and it’s been really good 🔥

Just bought a 2021 Satin Steel Elevation, and man it's a world of a difference when compared to my old 2010 GMC Sierra SLE. Love my truck!

How much you paid out the door ?

Coming from a 2012 GMC SLE, In July I just purchased my new 2021 GMC Elevation 3L Duramax off road X31 with the multi pro tailgate dual exhaust. I have 9,000 kms on it and no issues. Unbelievable difference between the 2 trucks. I know the AT4 has more options than my fully loaded Elevation. Just couldn't see spending $6000.00 more on the AT4 even though I will miss the more electronic options. (More to go wrong with the Chip Shortages). Hey Jeff, Keep up the great work on this channel.

Thanks John!! 👍🏼

I appreciate you pointing out the difference in equipment, although you are speaking about the equipment that the customers are paying for and is supposed to come with each trim level. This is a moot point because the trucks are going to come how the OEM chooses them to be equipped, in some cases with a small discount with a promise to retrofit and in some cars with a discount that will allow the OEM to sill make their margin but omitting the equipment altogether.

I have that exact same 2021 red elevation truck that did come with the X31 off road package with that sweet at4 tailgate plus the GMC logos on the front and back are black

Ive got the Crew Cab Elevation w/ X31 package, Tow Mirrors and the 3.0l Duramax. Great truck.

Got mine last night 2021 gmc elevation all black out and it’s came with a center console and regular tailgate which is fine for me but it’s a great truck
