The Patrika Auto Review: 2023 GMC Sierra AT4X: Highly Effective All-Terrain Truck

The GMC Sierra pickup is one of the American brands most popular pickup trucks with its mix of luxury, cargo hauling, towing, durability, and All -Terrain chops. For 2023, GM has upped the ante offering more luxury and performance. There isa a choice of engines, including a diesel, and V-8s with varying power outputs, It remains a handsome truck with its big beefy all-American broad-shouldered looks, a plethora of trim lines, upgrade packages and a range of off-road ready suspension options packs.

The Sierra 2023 model’s changes includes the dual-projector LED headlight design with C-shaped daytime running lights, while exterior approach light animations are added. Also available is the world’s first six-function MultiPro tailgate and over 40” inches of combined driver-focused digital displays. The top models feature such niceties as full-grain leather seats and trim with contrasting piping and stitching, plus real ash wood trim and a host of advanced technology.

The Sierra range starts with the Elevation model at: $64,347 with a 2.7L Turbo high-output engine delivering 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. The optional engine is an available 5.3L V8 engine or alternative 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine with 10-speed automatic transmission. The SLT trim at $70,947 adds the 5.3L V8 engine or 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine or available 6.2L V8 engine with 10-speed automatic transmission. Upgraders to the infotainment system with a 13.4” centre touchscreen and 12.3” Driver Information Centre.

The AT4 version at $83,647 ups the grade with the addition of a 2-inch factory lift with off-road suspension and Rancho® monotube shocks.

Review by Veeno Dewan

The AT4X model features a bumper with tow hooks. There is a special wheel and tire combination with 18-inch wheels and 32-inch off-road tires.

Interior upgrades include heated and ventilated 16-way power front seats with massage feature, full-grain leather seating with technical grain leather accents, authentic Vanta Ash wood trim and a 12-speaker Bose® Premium Series with Centerpoint® surround sound. The top dog models are the Denali and the Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate Crew Cab at: $104,092 which are even more luxurious, packed to the gills with extra features. Our luxurious AT4X weighed in at a mighty $95,233 with all options plus taxes and a $2,095 destination charge.

Interior wise, the Sierra cabin has a more exclusive upmarket look Seats are big, comfortable and occupant areas are wonderful with room to stretch out and relax on long drives. Quality, fit, and finish is particularly good. Moving to the pickup bed, a six-function MultiPro tailgate is standard, and there is an optional arbonPro carbon fiber composite body option.

This big heavy truck is no shrinking violet and the AT4X arrives with the 6.2-liter V-8 engine good enough to haul a total payload of 1,420 pounds and has a towing capacity of 8,900 poundsgood news if you have a trailer or boat.

On the road, This AT4X version Sierra motivates with GM’s 6.2L V8, paired withs four-wheel drive system via a 10-speed automatic transmission with transfer case. The 420 hp offers ground pounding acceleration and unlimited torque, making short work of any terrain. Long distance cruising is easy and comfortable. In urban areas, the light steering is good. Luckily, various sensors parking aids and cameras are handy for parking and maneuvering this big truck.

On rough terrain the AT4benefits from all the suspension upgrades with the new Multimatic DSSV shocks featuring increased suspension travel all-around plus an off-road mode that allows for one e-pedal crawling and an extra front limited-slip differential as well as one in the rear. Also helping the rough terrain performance department over hills, bumps, dips, and obstacles is the AT4X’s 25.5-degree approach angle and a 23-degree departure angle. The AT4X’s total ground clearance is 11.1 inches.

To sum up, the ATX4 is a lot of truck and expensive in this particular trim line. However , it has impressively capable allterrain ability, a powerful engine and comes very well equipped. Highly recommended.

2023 GMC Sierra AT4X Priced as tested- $95,233 with all options plus taxes and a $2,095 destination charge.

Anything you have either over committed yourself to or made too big to handle could become a bit of a problem. The main purpose of this is to get you to look at things in a realistic manner when it comes to what is possible. Finding some quiet time to yourself so that you can think things over in peace will be a big help.

You might have to come up with solutions you didn’t expect to deal with because of something coming up either within the family or connected to the home. There will be no need to abandon important priorities to accommodate this. It is likely that a situation that was expected to be developing in the future will need to be dropped.

Demanding expectations of somebody else can be highly frustrating to you, mainly because they are unprepared to listen. The main thing is not to succumb to their demands, especially if you are expected to take on obligations. Some sort of escape from this situation can take place late in the week. Just be patient and wait.

A decision somebody else makes to bring something to an end could generate some unexpected difficulty or frustration for you. Don’t be tempted to take on increased obligations. There can be a degree of secretiveness, which means you cannot see the whole picture. Stick to the pleasant things you have been planning for the future.

The Full Moon this week occurs in your own sign. It could bring some unexpected obligations your way. It might also incline you to make a commitment to a situation that you have been avoiding. You could feel as though you have a clearer picture and other people involved could be more willing to make compromises that suit you

Other people can be helpful when it comes to something out of the ordinary you have considered pursuing in the future. You might need to decide whether their view or the risks they might be willing to take suit you. You might also begin to realise that there is a lot more to this than you had originally imagined.

Make a final decision anything that you might have felt uncertain about when it comes to either the amount of work involved or the detail. It may have been an ambitious plan for the future. There could be support from an unexpected source that will enable you to fulfil something that you feel needs to be a priority in life.

Dropping an idea or backing away from an agreement that wasn’t quite clear could be a good thing. This will enable you to move into something that will give you greater pleasure and enjoyment as well as perhaps bring you into contact with some interesting people. Don’t be too generous though in taking on obligations.

Bringing an end to some sort of spending is probably the only way to be able to establish a more balanced foundation with everything you need to deal with. This could be especially home and family needs. Getting equipment you can use at home might be a way of working around what you normally spend money on.

You can finally move on and leave behind all the interferences that either held up what you would normally get done on a regular basis or just put them into chaos from early December. Take the opportunity to find a little time for some pleasure or relaxation this week. It may not be what you normally do, but make an exception.

Something can become very obvious with somebody else which could either be stimulated by you being most determined about the type of foundation you want to develop in your life or because you have already made moves in this direction. Your mind will be made up and you will definitely feel it is time to move on, whatever.

Many things can begin to fall into place that will result in a greater sense of peace and balance on a personal level. Some of this could be due to you having developed your own ideas that may not follow conventional lines. It might result in a greater amount of work or more details to deal with than you thought but as long as you are happy.
