Hello to all!
I just received my new '23 1500 AT4 about 3 weeks ago after what seemed like an eternity to get from the factory. My dealer placed the order back in June of '22, GM picked up the order in January of '23 with a target production for April. The truck went down the line on 4/28 and them sat outside of the Ft. Wayne, IN factory for over a month. Long, frustrating process to say the least but glad I've got it now!

My options are: Titanium Rush metallic, 6.2L, 20" wheels, Goodyear Territory Mud tires, AT4 premium package, tech package with HUD, and high/narrow running boards.

1,200 miles so far and I'm very pleased overall. 100% love the refreshed interior and updated front end! The paint color is great as well. Tires definitely have a "roar" to them but that's to be expected with that rough of a tread pattern. My biggest dislike is the super quiet exhaust and the "HDMI port" lookalike exhaust tips!

My previous truck was a '19 1500 Denali with the 6.2L. 1st year for the new body style. Just sold it last week with just over 56,000 miles. Great truck overall. A tad too much chrome on the front, excellent ride quality but way stiff seats.

I have be contemplating the GM performance (Borla) exhaust system (polished round tips) as an add on. Kinda pricey but I decided to pull the trigger on the system yesterday with my dealer. Looking for a louder cold start/ acceleration sound. Also not wanting an annoying drone at cruising speeds.

Also in my garage is my wife's '23 Z71 Tahoe with 6.2L. (another year long debacle to get) and "our", lol, '22 ZL1 Camaro.

The middle picture was after my truck was delivered to my dealership before the did the PDI.
 

Thank you sir! Can't wait to read up on the various threads concerning the 1500 AT4.
 

Well gave it's 1st hand wash, dry, spray wax, and tire shine! 90+ degrees at 5:30 pm so I waited till about 8 to start. Not much cooler unfortunately, lol.

BTW, used Adams Mega Foam, 3500 psi washer, wool mitt, inline water filter, Adams Wheel/Tire cleaner, Griots Garage Waffle Towel, Adams Spray Wax, Adams Tire Shine.

Thought it was only fair to do the exact same cleaning to my wife's Z71 Tahoe! At least it was less humid tonight.
