2024 GMC Sierra Elevation 3.0L Duramax | First Impressions & Best First Upgrades 

I have almost 40k miles on my 2023 3.0 dura max , I loved I will keep it until died … I hope 250k mils or more … 3.0 best engine compared to my last v8 trucks

We were shopping the Sierra 1500, but ended up getting the Sierra 2500HD SLE. The SLE package was a step down from what we had, but it provided everything we needed, the only thing we gave up was leather. We also stayed with gas, but when shopping the 3.0L diesel was an interesting option. We also went from a crew to a double-cab, being older we just didn't need the extra space. We're very happy with the GMC so far. Congrats on your new truck!

Nice video! And what about the mirrors ???

Did it came with those towing mirrors?

Nearly 29 MPG?! Incredible! Great install of those fender well liners!

Whats payload capacity

Beautiful truck! Congrats brother

Awesome truck and well deserved😊

Height is one thing I can’t stand about new trucks… and I’m 6’-1”! I could reach over the side to the center of the bed of my ‘94 F150. I can barely reach the bottom over the side on my 2012 F150. It may be unfounded, but I’m skeptical of wheel liners like that. Salt and moisture will still get to the metal, and it’s the rust you can’t see to address that is most problematic. I get my truck undercoated at NHOU every other year, and then never wash it until it’s time for a recoat. It’s dirty and doesn’t look pretty, but I care about function and longevity over appearance. So far the frame is still clean. Around the strut towers in the front under the hood is the only surface rusted area, and a minor spot on the body at the passenger side rear fender. I plan to have them address the strut towers this year. With a gas non-turbo V6 I get 18-20mpg with daily driving, and 21-23 with straight highway driving. It’s been a great truck! Enough modern conveniences, without being electronic everything 🙂.

5’4 and 3/4 lmao

Short BED, Farm Truck?

🙂 😊❤

These engines don't like to idle.

Have you done any towing with it?

Does it have 4 Lo because I don’t see the X31 package ???

Get rid of that thing before 100k trust me!

You answered my question in the diesel in the last few seconds! We have been toying with an upgraded truck but it’s hard to get rid of a known entity…our “new” truck is 19 years old with 250k miles and our old one even more! The problem is both are so darn reliable and use all the same filters etc it’s just hard to justify. Would you feel comfortable giving a 10k range of cost for that? Great addition to the homestead!

I see that your truck has the larger "2500HD" mirrors. Were those a factory option or part of your upgrades but were overlooked in your comments? Nice truck!
