How did it go?

Well I went down to the local GMC dealer and test drove the AT4X AEV Edition. I definitely felt that the ride was harsher than I remember for the ZR2. Nothing that would rattle your teeth, just slightly annoying. Just in case I remembered the test drive in the ZR2 correctly I drove over to the Chevy dealer and test drove another ZR2 back to back with the AT4X. Definitely a smoother ride.

So similar trucks, and there are design and aesthetic aspects of both I do & don't like.
Still pondering which direction. Life's good to have these first world dilemmas.

We'll see you in the Ridgeline Forum BoBo

I thought about it. At4x: The tires are smaller. The stereo is better more speakers. The headliner and interior is nicer. Nicer start button but that big GMC on the front is ugly af. Look is more management rather then off road crawler and the front end you will hit rocks because the of the bumper. I am actually trading my Zr2 for a new one after 11 months because of 0 financing. Had a look at a Raptor as well but don’t want the low mileage and no need for high horse power.

I noticed the seats weren't as comfortable in the AT4X. I suspect it has something to do with the seat massage addition.

 

[MuskokaRB]

Oh I kind of like the seat massage feature. I would pay extra on a zr2 for that - probably great for long trips and keeping you awake. But that’s a good point making them less comfortable. I kind of am sick of the green interior stitching at this point.

 

[MuskokaRB]

I wonder why the ride is smoother on a ZR2? I do think the ride on them is amazing for a big truck on highway country and dirt roads. I can’t really imagine anything else except a 2500 for a cool truck!

Did the AT4X have a snow plow prep package? That might explain ride quality. Otherwise, they are the same rig.

 

[MuskokaRB]

Styling wise. I tried to like the Aev package. But when I looked at the bumpers and compared pics it really looks like an after market bolt on then something designed by the factory and the Zr2 at first I did not love the front end but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. Anyone know of a bolt on light weight hidden winch for it?

Yes sir,
First you unbolt your bumper. Then you bolt on the comeup winch kit then you install your new AEV bumper that you learned to love

LOL no snowplow package. Intellectually I know that the two trucks are supposed to be the same. But after 2 separate test drives of each I'll swear seat of they pants they are definitely different.

There's people on this forum that complain about ride quality. I think mine is the best riding 2500HD I've ever ridden in, especially a "lifted" one.

Everyone feels something different and some people just have a paper ass too!

Or you do the same and get the Addictive Desert Design bumper. Only cost about $5k either way.
