I bought a '99 Silverado and drove it off the lot on 1/1/99. That was the first year of the Silverado as a model, and not a package (the end of the C/K era). I drove it for three months before I saw another one on the road. I kept that truck for 2 weeks shy of 20 years, selling it in 12/2018, with 290K miles. It was clean and ran like a top. Only real work I did was a tranny rebuild. Since that day, I've been shopping for my next truck. I wanted a loaded truck that I'd be happy to keep for at least 10 years, and had been thinking Denali, but I wanted MT tires and a small lift/level. Problem was I was also getting past a divorce and starting a new job, so spending that coin on a Denali was more like a 3-year goal. Then the AT4X was announced. I immediately knew that was the truck. Still, I was about a year away from being ready. I watched them get released in 2022 and saw you guys buying them up. But when they announced the AT4X AEV last fall, I was on a record-setting pace at work and knew exactly where that January bonus was going.
A friend of mine works at a nearby GMC dealership, and they have an AT4X AEV in their allocation. She put my name on it, and it's getting built in 3 weeks. Hoping to have it in the driveway within 6 weeks. There's not much to do to these trucks (not for me, anyway). I'll get a Cognito UCA and a leveling kit. I'll put an aluminum rolling tonneau cover on the bed and a gun safe in the console. Probably do the illuminated red GMC logo in the front grill and the GMC puddle lamps, and call it a day. For now though, I'm like a kid with a new puppy, just hoping to get it in my driveway. I'll post pictures once it's here. Can't wait!

I bought a Roll'n'Lock tonneau cover. Then I had the truck ceramic coated, and blacked out the windows with ceramic tint -- or at least as blacked out as I can in California without getting pulled over.
