The kids were getting too big for the Camaro and after a lot of consideration, I felt like 3 vehicles weren't right for us. I moved on to a monster truck. Definitely rides different... Similar color scheme as the Camaro was though.

Thanks for all the help and stories. I've enjoyed the community here. Maybe one day I'll be back.

Nice truck. Will be picking up a diesel AT4 next Saturday. How do you like it?

Did you get the 6.2 in that beast?

Greta Thunberg is crying right now... Haha

I love it.

The technology in it is incredible. The heads up display is a lot bigger and clearer than in the Camaro. It's got a ton of cameras all around it so it's actually easier to park. The stereo has a legit subwoofer and sounds pretty great. All around it's more comfortable - both in ride and ease of entry exit. I was caught in a frog drowning downpour on the way home yesterday and didn't even have to slow down. I'd have been doing 30 mph with the flashers on in the Camaro. It's definitely nice to be able to drink a cup of coffee on the way to work in the morning and not worry about shifting and sloshing due to the ride harshness. It's just a much better daily driver. I'll definitely miss the sound and feel of ripping through the gears in the Camaro, but it felt like those opportunities were so few and far between.

And yes, I got the 6.2L. It recommends premium and with the lift, wheels, and mud terrain tires, gets about 12.5 mpg... It's a lot quicker to 70 than I thought it would be, though. Love the 10 speed auto. Shift are super smooth and it always feels like its in the power band.

I don't want to alarm you but I think your new truck came with a free ghost

Congrats nice wheels. I think Scottie is beaming somebody down

SirJangle · 03-11-2020, 09:58 AM

That's a SWEET truck!

Nice truck! I picked up an AT4 CarbonPro with 3.0 Duramax (minimax) last month. Love the truck and tech like you mentioned. The 3.0 has great torque at low RPM and is legit strong up to about 3k. 30mpg highway is great too!

Lol, no doubt. Only way to make it worse would be to drag a parachute.

Man a trailer and White Camaro in tow would be heaven. You will be back.

I had to trade my Fifty off when the kid was getting too big for it and went with a trail boss, I wasn't a huge fan of the 19 refresh on the Chevys but I fell in love with the TB, wish I'd waited a year so I could've gotten a 6.2, but if it makes you feel any better, everything is stock on mine and I only get about 14mpg, it's terrible. 16 if I baby it on the highway.

Sick truck! I love the AT4s, it's a shame they kept a lot of the LTZ/HC creature comforts back on the LT TBs but offered it in the AT4 given they're both the "off road" edition truck.
