Denali or AT4

[jac1304]

Choice get a fully loaded AT4 or a basically equipped Denali? The price seems close; when you load out an AT4.

I would order it..anyone have any dealer recommendations in the Pacific Northwest?

thanks

Hard choice, but I will say wait for the 2022's to come out. I say this to everyone now. Having said that, I would go for the Denali. IF, the AT4 ever gets the choice of the Duramax or 6.2L, then I'd go with the AT4.

I love the off road look of the AT4 and really wanted one when I purchased. However, I have 3 young kids and no time to ever take it off-road. The Denali interior is much nicer. The leathers, door trim, dash, etc.

No, wait for 2023’s to come out, they will be even better. Better yet, wait for the 2032’s!

I believe only the Denali has magnetic ride control. For this kind of money I couldn't imagine not getting that.

I have magnetic ride control on my AT4.

At4s come standard with magnetic ride control. They are very nicely optioned in base trim.

That's cool, I was wrong then.

The AT4 is way less common than the Denali which is kinda fun. (Rare being relative for these mass produced vehicles.) It can be well optioned with the Premium Plus package and a few other boxes checked. The look is unique, outside and inside and the approach angle is way better. That last part may or may not be important to you though. If it is then the AT4 is the way to go.

The Premium Off-road package being optional on the AT4 is weird to me. I know eeeeeverybody wants the red tow hooks but the eLSD and traction modes are the real thing to have on an AT4 or Denali if you plan to leave pavement.

Probably an aspect that most people don't care about but I like, is that I can roll up to a job site on something appointed very closely to a Denali but not have the perception of a $$$ vehicle. I have had clients comment that I must charge too much before when I pulled up in a 2500 Denali and also in a Lexus (that I bought used with 150,000mi on but people are weird). Pull up in a 20k Lexus and catch hell, or roll up in a 85k non-Denali GMC and be normal LOL.

Get the Denali. Reason when you sell it looking at the books on value the AT4willshow up with just basic equipment. Yes it allows options but just a few main ones. The Denali will have them all added in making it worth more

Doesn’t the AT4 have the basic “tablet jammed into the dashboard” interior? If so, that’s reason alone to go denali. Much better look/integration.

I just purchased a '21 AT4 and went through the same decision. Bottom line, a similarly equipped Denali will be about $10k more than an AT4 regardless of what discounts you qualify for. For my use, likes and value prop -- it's not worth the additional $10k when the only thing the Denali offers that I value is really the 6.2L or diesel option.

As much as I'd like the 6.2L, filling up on Premium just adds to the operational expense. And there's nothing the 5.3L can't do that I need. It's more a want than a need.

An AT4 with the Premium Plus package lists at $74k. The Denali with Ultimate Package at $84k. Good luck finding base AT4/Denali's w/ minimal content / packages on dealer lots currently. Initial production runs are usually highly contented. You can order, but plan on waiting 3 months.

Denali. I had a 2016 SLT and my biggest regret was the 5.3. I was looking at getting the AT4, but the difference in power between the 5.3 to the 6.2 is extremely noticeable. Granted I live at higher elevation but the 6.2 is still worth it. You won’t regret the Denali but you’ll probably be missing the 6.2 in the AT4 after some time. I know I did.

The tablet jammed in is actually higher and at a better viewpoint. Coming from a 2019 Ram sleek is not always better. My wife’s X7 is the same way. High up and easy to see.

It’s MAYBE 1.5” higher. Either way it looks terrible.

I think it depends on what you want to do with the truck.

The Denali is more luxurious, appointed nicer, bigger engine,and in my opinion looks much better.

AT4 is more for off-road from what I have been told and read.

Just FYI, it is VERY hard right now to find a Denali, and very unlikely that if you do, to get any discount on a Denali.

On the other hand, AT4’s are sitting on dealer lots around me, and dealers are discounting them, because the market is not nearly as strong as it is on the Denali’s. This may equate to better resale in the future for the Denali’s.

What area do you live? I live in the DC area and it’s totally opposite, Denali’s are plentiful but you cannot find an AT4 and most only last a day on the lot IF they aren’t already purchased prior to delivery. I’ve talked to dealers charging 5-10k over MSRP. If they are plentiful in your area the Dealership’s in this area can trade their Denali for an AT4!!!

Is this opposite day? 94.276% of that post is nonsense. He got the bigger engine part right though.

 

[Dpm7471]

I’m in NC and in this part of the country, Denali’s are in very high demand and hard to get. I’m sure the market trends are different in different parts of the country for sure. Here, AT4’s are being discounted but it is quite hard to get a discount on the Denali.

As I said in the post, it’s a matter of taste. AT4’s have additional equipment that enable them to be better off road. This is in the GM literature. I personally do not like the look of the AT4, but it’s just my opinion.
