Anyone have one? If so, how do you like it so far? How well does it tow?

It sounds like they are getting the bent push rod problem figured out with them. Hopefully not going to be a big problem with the 2022s...

Off the wall question, but does yours have sport mode as one of the drive modes?

Does the AT4 have the VVT system?

I have a GMC Elevation normal 5.3 V8.

We have a 2019 model and it has the sport mode. It is a great truck and I will buy another when this one wears out. Probably be a while though as it only has 41 k on it.

That VVT system is the afm and dfm system that he mentions.

I had bad luck with my 17 with a 5.3 in it so this time bought the turbo 4 all I'm towing now is my 17 ft boat and 16 fr trailer with two 700 Yamaha on it it's working out fine for me sofar I got it in September and it has 4000 on it
With just the truck I'm getting 25 mpg and with the boat or trailer it's at 17.5 so no complaints there
And I'm hearing the V8 will be fazing out to meat emission guide lines

If you plan to tow much get one with the max trailering package. I don't think you can get it with the AT4 package too.

I was told I couldn’t order a 5.3 in my repurchase truck because they didn’t have enough available. I was offered a 6.2 or a diesel. I went with the 3.0 turbo diesel. If you get a truck with a sliding rear window keep an eye out for leaks. Mine leaked 9 times total before GM agreed to repurchase it and replace it. The new truck build has been put off twice now. Suppose to finally happen 2-7. We’ll see.

I have a 2020 Chevy Trail boss with a 6.2 gas. I got about 40k on it and no problems yet.

That 2020 with a 6.2 is probably not the VVT version.
