Trim Details: The GMC Sierra HD AT4X uses genuine Vanta Ash wood for the trim pieces, adding a touch of luxury. Model Configuration: The GMC Sierra HD AT4X is available only as a 2500HD Crew Cab Standard Bed four-wheel drive.   Remember, this is an upcoming model set to join the Sierra lineup for the 2024 model year, so more information will become available as the release date approaches. Let’s dive into a bit more of what we know about this wonder of a pickup: Heavy-Duty Meets Off-Road The Sierra HD AT4X is no ordinary truck. GMC introducing the AT4X package in the 2022 Sierra 1500, but the 2024 model year is the first we’ll see it in an HD model. This beast is designed to overcome the adversities of the trail with its factory-installed 1.5" suspension lift, significantly enhancing ground clearance. In other words, it will have your back as you navigate those rocky terrains!   What's more, the Sierra HD AT4X effortlessly handles tough work both on- and off-road. It boasts an impressive 18,500-pound max trailering capacity, so it won’t break a sweat when hauling a heavy load or pulling your adventure gear. Why Choose the AT4X? You might be wondering, "What sets the AT4X apart from the rest?" Well, the AT4X is not just powerful; it's specifically engineered to tackle off-road obstacles. Its suspension travel measures 9.8 inches at the front and 10.6 inches at the rear. That's some serious flex for overcoming those intense backcountry hurdles!   If you're as excited as we are about the 2024 GMC Sierra HD AT4X, keep an eye out for it this fall. Don't just read about it — experience it for yourself by scheduling a test drive with Liberty Buick GMC. Life's an adventure. Make sure you have a truck that's up for the challenge! 2024 GMC Sierra AT4X vs. Standard AT4 There’s a lot of buzz going on around the upcoming Sierra HD models, especially the all-new AT4X. But you may wonder what the difference is between the AT4X and standard AT4. Here’s a quick breakdown of the two options: Power Under the Hood When it comes to raw power, both models are impressive. The standard AT4 comes with a 6.6L V8 gas engine that's nothing to scoff at. But the AT4X takes it up a notch with the same 6.6-liter gas V8 but delivers 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. So if you're all about power, the AT4X might be your go-to. Built for Adventure For those who love off-roading, the AT4X has a steeper approach angle (31.6 versus 29.8 degrees) compared to the standard AT4. What does this mean for you? It means your AT4X is better equipped to tackle steep inclines without damaging the front of your truck. That's one less thing to worry about as you navigate the road less taken! Price Considerations While both trucks are sturdy and powerful, they do come with different price tags. If you're budget-conscious, keep in mind that the AT4X starts at $83,695, while the standard AT4 starts at $70,995. Of course, your final price will depend on the specific configuration and upgrades you choose. Additional Features The AT4X also comes with a 1.5-inch suspension lift, making it ready to face the adversities of the trail. Whether it's a rocky terrain or a muddy path, the AT4X is up to the challenge.   Both the standard AT4 and AT4X are excellent choices. However, if you're looking for more power, better off-road capabilities, and don't mind spending a bit extra, the AT4X could be the perfect fit. On the other hand, the standard AT4 should serve you well if you want a solid, reliable truck without some of the extra bells and whistles.   Remember that the best truck for you depends on your needs and lifestyle. Take your time, do your research, and choose the one that feels right for you! 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate The 2024 GMC Sierra HD Denali Ultimate is all about delivering a high-end experience. With a bold exterior available in various configurations and an interior boasting Alpine Umber upholstery with full-grain leather, open-pore Paldao wood trim, and heated, ventilated front seats with a massage function, you're sure to enjoy every moment inside this luxury suite on wheels.   Under its hood, the Denali Ultimate houses a gas-powered 6.6-liter V-8 engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission capable of generating 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. The truck is also packed with advanced technology including a head-up display, camera-based rear-view mirror, retractable running boards, and the GM Super Cruise with trailering for semi-autonomous driving capabilities. The starting price for this luxurious and powerful truck is $91,900. The Importance of Having a Heavy-Duty Pickup Truck A good pickup truck is more than just a car — it’s a reliable tool you can use for work or for fun. At Liberty Buick GMC, we understand just how important it is to have a pickup truck that you can trust. That’s why we only sell trucks that shine in dependability. Safety First and foremost, having a dependable pickup truck means that your safety is prioritized. A heavy-duty pickup truck is designed to withstand tough conditions on and off the road, so you can rest assured you’re secure while driving. Whether you’re towing a heavy load or driving through harsh terrain, you’ll want a vehicle that can handle the job without putting you at risk. Durability A heavy-duty pickup truck is built to last, and investing in one can save you money in the long run. Dependable pickup trucks can perform for many years through extreme weather, rough terrains, and carrying heavy loads. They’re less likely to break down or require repairs. And, in case your truck does need repairs, it’s easier to find quality parts and services for a popular model like the GMC Sierra. Versatility Having a dependable pickup truck means that you can enjoy superior versatility for both work and play. For example, you can use your truck for transporting goods, towing heavy loads, or even as a vacation vehicle for an off-road adventure. A reliable truck can handle multiple uses and terrains, so it’s an excellent investment for anyone who wants a vehicle that does than one thing. Resale Value Investing in a heavy-duty pickup truck is a wise move if you ever plan on reselling your truck. Dependable vehicles are valued more and tend to have a better resale price than their cheaper counterparts. Trucks that provide years of dependable service retain their value, making them a better long-term investment. Confidence Lastly, having a dependable truck gives you added confidence. You don't have to worry about breaking down on your journey, meaning you can focus on the road ahead instead of worrying about your truck's performance. A reliable pickup can help you tackle any project with ease and provides an extra sense of security so you can focus on other things when on the road. Wrapping Up The upcoming 2024 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 models represent a new benchmark in heavy-duty trucks. The introduction of the all-new Sierra HD AT4X version, with its enhanced off-road capability and other features, further expands the lineup's appeal. These trucks aren't just workhorses; they offer advanced tech, comfort, and style that make them suitable for everyday use.   Whether you're towing large loads, venturing off the beaten path, or simply driving around town, GMC heavy-duty trucks offer unquestionable dependability to enhance your experience. The 2024 Sierra HD models continue the tradition of blending strength and sophistication, reaffirming that owning a reliable, heavy-duty truck can be both a practical decision and a personal indulgence!

Cool Insider Info & New Tips About Your Favorite Cars, Trucks, and SUVs! 2024 GMC Yukon Since the New GMC Yukon is one of the most popular SUVs on the road today, and has been this popular for some time now, creating a new Denali trim level might be the move that makes the 2024 GMC Yukon the most celebrated SUV in America. Here are a few of the more impressive features that come with the new Yukon Denali: Alpine Umber leather upholstery throughout the interior of the SUV 16-way power front seats, including a massage feature Open-pore wood trim running throughout 18-speaker Bose sound system with all the modern features Super Cruise Control, a hands-free, autonomous driving system that helps to keep you safe and on the road at all times There’s plenty here to be excited about in the 2024 Yukon Denali, but we had to try the massage seats. A few of Liberty’s technicians gave the seat a try, and it provided a great massage. Here’s how to adjust the intensity and type of massage you receive while on the road: Locate the Massage Adjustment button and turn it to the “on” position to start your massage If your vehicle has a multi-function Massage Adjustment control button, those sitting in the front seat will see a graphic displayed on the Infotainment screen of the type and intensity of their massage Select the massage function with the outer ring of the circular adjustment control on the side of the seat and you will see another graphic come up on your Infotainment screen Use the up and down arrow buttons on the face of the circle to select your massage type–as you click through them, you will see corresponding images displayed on the screen Use the forward and rearward arrow buttons to control the intensity of your massage 2024 GMC Aca dia This year's new features to the GMC Acadia include updated LED headlamps and a sleek black redesign of the vehicle's rear. Also, 20-inch wheels and an AutoSense Power Liftgate with Presence Recognition have been added to the Acadia Elevation trim as a standard feature. There are plenty more features to consider when looking at any of the 2024 Acadia’s trim levels. Here are a few of Liberty Buick GMC’s staff favorites: Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking–when driving below 50 miles an hour, this feature will alert you if there is the potential for a front-end collision, and it will also automatically apply emergency braking if the driver does not respond quickly enough. Safety Alert Seat–this specialized seat vibrates and pulses at the bottom of the seat for various warnings. This is an option instead of having auditory or visual warnings and is a great way to keep you safe when you have a car full of talkative kids, or you feel like blasting your favorite song. Front and Rear Park Assist–Park Assist detects objects or people around you when you are driving at low speeds. Typically, it gets used when parking or navigating through congested areas. We have found this feature to improve even the worst of parallel parkers. High-Definition Surround Vision–this digital bird’s-eye view comes at high definition and gives a crystal-clear image of the area around your vehicle when driving at low speeds. The image of your area pops up on the Infotainment display, helping you to avoid objects and perfectly park in just about any spot. 2024 GMC Terrain The 2024 GMC Terrain is a crossover, but it’s as tough as an SUV. The brand-new Terrain comes with all-wheel-drive, which is an important move for GMC because it defines this particular crossover as something a step above others on the market. All wheel drive offers more power than front-wheel-drive, but it doesn’t guzzle as much gas as four-wheel-drive, so it keeps you on the road longer. This year, the new GMC Terrain SLT has a 4-cylinder Turbo, 1.5-liter engine. This particular engine can push 175 horsepower and offers 203 feet of torque. The 2024 Terrain ensures a longer-than-normal lifespan for a crossover, and it has enough power to pack a punch and get any job done. Liberty Buick GMC customers are already finding the 2024 Terrain a great in-between that still gives enough oomph for off-roading capabilities and the ability to handle chaotic weather situations. There are tons of reasons to place yourself inside the 2024 GMC Terrain, but its capability to operate as a high-level, luxury crossover that comes with plenty of trim levels and add-on features is the 2024 Terrain SLT’s biggest selling point. What GMC does extremely well, besides making the toughest trucks, crossovers, and SUVs around, is provide customers with a multitude of options–and people love options. It is a great feeling to have some say in what you buy, especially when the purchase is as large and important as that of a new family vehicle. Come test drive the 2024 Terrain and see for yourself! GMC Sierra Pickup Trucks One aspect of GMC pickups that draws much attention is their luxurious power: a base powertrain of a 10-speed automatic transmission, 401-horsepower, 6.6-liter, V-8 engine; or the 10-speed automatic transmission, 470-horsepower Duramax turbo-diesel with a V-8 engine–with 22,500 pounds of maximum conventional towing. America’s favorite truck is also loved for its innovative trailer assist features: Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, Transparent Trailer View, plus adaptive cruise control with trailering. But for seasoned Sierra truck drivers, these tout-worthy features are nothing new. Whether you are battling traffic going between Matthews and Charlotte, towing a boat to Lake Wylie, or enjoying a joyride through Crowders Mountain Drive, the Sierra is your truck. GMC’s largest pickup gets a slight facelift in 2024. There’s also a revised powertrain that allows for more towing capability. The power and torque levels of the 6.6-liter Duramax turbocharged diesel V-8 have been pumped up to 470 horsepower and it offers 975 pound-feet of torque. Another big change is the replacement of the 401-horsepower, 6.6-liter V-8 gas engine’s automatic transmission with a (Allison-certified) 10-speed automatic transmission–one that is usually reserved for diesel engines, so you know it’s tough. What’s more, there is a new Denali Ultimate trim that comes in the 2500 HD and the 3500 HD that displays a higher level of luxury than any other trim level. The Denali Ultimate includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel and door panels; a 16-way power-adjustable front heated and cooled messaging front seat (both driver and passenger) that includes intricate leather stitching that creates a topographic map of Alaska’s Mount Denali. 2024 GMC Canyon New technology and safety features have been added to the 2024 Canyon, and the all-new GMC Canyon has already received a four-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. During a year with a lack of innovation and design features in other trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, the 2024 Canyon is this year’s best in class. In particular, the Canyon’s Elevation base trim level offers a mid-size pickup truck with a manufacturer-suggested retail price of $36,000. The Elevation trim comes with a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine that provides 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The 2024 Canyon Elevation is one of the most popular test drives here at Liberty Buick GMC, and the following specs are a good reason why: 3-inch diagonal center touchscreen 8-inch diagonal digital driver information center Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility LED projector headlights with Intella Beam LED daytime running lights LED turn signals 2-inch lift Gloss black and satin black front grille When considering the 2024 GMC Canyon, don’t be thrown off by the term “mid-size.” When it comes to the Canyon, this term does not mean mid-level, or sub-par. “Mid-size” is not an accurate term of presence either, as the Canyon has a V-6 engine with over 300 horsepower and a bed of up to six feet long. So, you can call the Canyon whatever you like, but this mid-size machine matches up well with any size truck.

The GMC Sierra HD is known for being both the perfect mix of a luxury driver and a rugged machine, capable of pulling the Titanic out of the water and offering a smooth ride while doing it. What truck drivers love about GMC pickups is this luxurious power: a base powertrain of a 10-speed automatic transmission, 401-horsepower, 6.6-liter, V-8 engine; or the 10-speed automatic transmission, 470-horsepower Duramax turbo-diesel with a V-8 engine–with 22,500 pounds of maximum conventional towing. Impressed? You should be. And there’s more… America’s favorite truck is also loved for its innovative trailer assist features: Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, Transparent Trailer View, plus adaptive cruise control with trailering. But for seasoned Sierra truck drivers, these tout-worthy features are nothing new. So, what’s new for the 2024 models? Plenty! New Features of the 2024 Sierra GMC’s largest pickup gets a slight facelift in the 2024 model, as well as a revised powertrain that allows for more towing capability, but that’s not all. The all-new 2024 Sierra HD also comes with a modernized front fascia and LED headlights and taillights with sequential turn signals. The power and torque levels of the 6.6-liter Duramax turbocharged diesel V-8 have been pumped up to 470 horsepower and it offers 975 pound-feet of torque. Another big change is the replacement of the 401-horsepower, 6.6-liter V-8 gas engine’s automatic transmission with a (Allison-certified) 10-speed automatic transmission–one that is usually reserved for diesel engines, so you know it’s tough. What’s more, there is a new Denali Ultimate trim that comes in the 2500 HD and the 3500 HD that displays a higher level of luxury than any other trim level. The Denali Ultimate includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel and door panels; a 16-way power-adjustable front heated and cooled messaging front seat (both driver and passenger) that includes intricate leather stitching that creates a topographic map of Alaska’s Mount Denali. And let’s not forget the new trailering technology with adaptive cruise control with gross combination weight alert and the famous Transparent Trailer View–now available for gooseneck and fifth wheel trailering. There’s also Sierra HD’s standard driver assistance tech, which has been expanded for 2024, and the AT4X off-road trim has added an AEV Edition that comes with steel bumpers, more durable skid plates, and AEV 18-inch wheels. A Look Under the Hood At the standard, base level the 2024 Sierra HD comes with a 6.6-liter, V-8 engine that offers 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. It has a 10-speed automatic transmission, plus rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, and there is an optional Duramax diesel 6.6-liter V-8 that has 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque that works through an Allison-certified 10-speed automatic engine. The new, massive, Duramax is already being noted for its smooth ride and quality performance. Compared to its heavy-duty competitors, it’s a bit more agile and refined. For all 3500 HD models, you can choose from a single-wheel or a dual-rear-wheel (dually) axle. A Capacity for Raw Power The Sierra 3500 HD is by far the strongest of the GMC pickups, as it can pull as much as 36,000 pounds. In order to pull that much weight, the 3500 comes with a diesel engine, regular cab, rear-wheel-drive, a dual-rear-wheel axle, and a gooseneck hitch. Now, if 36,000 pounds is a bit much–say, you need 32,000-pound capability–then you can go for the same truck, only with a fifth-wheel hitch. The next best in line is the Sierra 2500 HD, which is offered with a single-rear-wheel axle and can tow 22,500 pounds. Surprising Fuel Economy Unfortunately, the Office of Transportation and Air Quality does not assess the fuel economy of large trucks such as the Sierra HD, so we have to rely on independent tests which, thankfully, are already out there. At least for the 2024 Sierra 2500 HD there is. With the diesel engine, it earned 17 mpg on the highway, which is right up there with the Silverado 2500 LTZ crew cab and the Ram 2500 Tradesmen regular cab–both also with diesel engines. So, though there is not much to report on this front, the little information we have is good news for Sierra truck drivers. Comfort and Quality The comfort and quality of the all-new Sierra HD is simply unmatched. This is because GMC realized that comfort doesn’t only mean plush seating and soft-touch materials. True comfort is created when there is more space to move within and reposition. We like our space and when we can’t move about a bit, well, we begin to feel uncomfortable. The interior of the 2500 HD and the 3500 HD come with an expansive dashboard full of user-friendly controls and switches. The bucket seats and full center console offer plenty of wiggle room and the plush seating offers comfort at every position. Drivers have an optional head-up display, heated steering wheel, heated (and cooled) front seats, and wireless device charging, and no matter which option you go with, there are soft-touch surfaces and extra durable plastics used throughout the truck. The Denali Ultimate trim comes with leather-wrapped interior pieces, Paldao wood trim, and a light micro suede headliner.   Once inside the truck, one will quickly realize that its luxury and design do not overshadow the practicality of the vehicle. The noticeable passenger space in the crew cab, the plentiful interior cubby storage both offer aid on those long trips. And this doesn’t only go for the inside of the truck: the long cargo boxes with built-in steps on both sides of the bed allow for easy access to storage, and the rear bumper has steps on each corner to allow for an easy step into the bed, rather than the usual necessity to lift and crawl oneself into the truck bed. The cargo boxes can also be customized with LED lighting, movable tie-downs, and a 120-volt outlet. Most impressive though is the innovative multi-function tailgate that has six different positions easily turning it into a workbench or surface. This is perfect for anyone who needs to work on the go and doesn’t feel like or have the time for sitting in a coffee shop. Now, anywhere you go, your office can be with you. Tech Features No matter which 2024 Sierra HD you choose, you are guaranteed a high-quality touchscreen Infotainment System that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s true that base models have a few less option in terms of technology features, but you can still opt for one to be outfitted with a 120-volt outlet and a mobile hotspot. The Sierra’s Infotainment System includes easy-to-use knobs and buttons that are made of quality plastic that won’t break or fade after years of use. The 8-inch touchscreen can be upgraded with built-in navigation, a Bose audio system, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a rear-seat entertainment system. Drivers can also get a 13.4-inch Infotainment touchscreen that comes with Google Built-in, split-screen navigation that seamlessly connects with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There truly is no other truck the Sierra HD series of stalwart, luxury drivers. Whether you need a truck for towing or more for a family driver, the Sierra HD has a model for you. Come see us at Liberty Buick GMC today and test drive your new favorite truck.
