Road Test: 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Duramax 4WD Crew Cab AT4 CarbonPro

Clean Fleet Report

About those radio knobs and the climate control wheels: they are constructed using a cheap-feeling chromed plastic. The grille, with its LED reflector high-intensity headlights, C-shaped daytime running lights and fog lights did not present as massive as front ends found on other trucks. A signature stitch.
