I ordered Aug 29, was delivered yesterday morning.
Vehicle Build

They had to make sure they could spec an XL instead of the regular for the order as it was one of the first batch of 125 build to orders that went in. Super stoked. Was going to slap Ridge Grapplers on it when it showed up but I'm going to give the Goodyears a shot at least.

Pics attached.

Congrats! Looks great. I'm with you on giving the Wranglers a shot. I've had mine 16 days and actually like them a lot.

Nice! I almost went with white on mine.

i like the wranglers so far. My ‘16 tahoe needs new tires very soon so i might swap the wranglers to that and put some KO2 bfg at on my yukon.

Does anyone know what the largest tires are that we can get under these without monkeying with the suspension, adding spacers, etc.?

Looks like there's a little room in there to upsize but I have been looking as well and haven't seen anything definitive out there yet. On my Land Cruiser you can adjust the sensors to alter the different ride heights and on the older Land Cruisers with Active Height Control you could fool them with a black box to lock them in high. Downsides being increased wear rate on front suspension components though.

Got my Weathertechs delivered just in time for Tropical Storm Eta rain LOL. Closing in on 4" at my house already. Decided to go with the brown because I love black & tan interiors. Was hoping the Weathertech brown would be close enough to the AT4 brown which has a little more orange in the leather. It's not an exact match by any means, but it looks ok in person. Would love an exact match, but with GMC matts being unobtanium right now this is the choice short term, although weathertech does offer black and grey as options.

Fitment is pretty good, far from perfect. I have the GMC all weather stuff in my Denali 2500 and they fit better out of the box. These however will lay down nicely once I take a heat gun to them. It hasn't gotten hot enough for the rubber to conform yet. Weathertech uses a more rigid blend than GM on the mats. GM ones feel like straight rubber whereas Weathertech are more of a pliable plastic.

Anyhow thought I'd share. You can tell the exposure has a big effect on appearance in the pics.

Thanks! My children were amazed that they can access the navigation from the rear entertainment and even suggest destinations. Based on what they’ve suggested there will be MANY miles ahead! :D


My kids love this feature too.

Great Truck. I got to TD one on Wednesday and I say I am not sure if it it the extra 2" or not but it seemed much bigger than 2019 rental I would drive and also my old '07 or Even my old 2018 Expedition Max. Not too un wieldy but just extra large. Did you try a SLT or Tahoe and then choose the AT4 ? or just AT4 all the way?

I think i may try an d TD a Tahoe tomorrow.

I ordered the AT4 as my dealer lucked out and got a slot in the first build group. That said I did test drive the SLT with regular suspension. There’s a big difference in ride. The air suspension is nice. Def drive both and decide if the ride quality is worth it for you.

Also it feels wider than my 15 Suburban. Don’t know if the mirrors being bigger add to that but I’ll get used to it.
