2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 Max Range Fixes A Lot Of The Issues I Originally Had With The Truck

While the Sierra EV AT4 costs less than the GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range I drove in 2024, it’s still not cheap by any stretch. The base Sierra EV Elevation will set you back $65,490, including a hefty $2,595 destination charge, but who cares about that? The AT4 Extended Range, saddled with its reduced-capacity battery and “only” 390 miles of range, starts at $82,390. That truck also has to make do with just 625 horsepower, slower charging speeds and fewer niceties, missing things like the Max Range’s standard panoramic sunroof and MultiPro Midgate.

To get the Sierra EV AT4 Max Range — second in line only to the 2026 Sierra EV Denali Max Range in the truck’s hierarchy — buyers will have to fork over $92,195. At the very least, take some solace in knowing that the price means the truck is pretty much fully loaded. My tester came with just one option: a $1,950 dealer-installed hard-folding truck bed cover from Real Truck Advantage, bringing the as-tested price to $94,145.

There aren’t many other options to choose from, anyway — just some floor mats, bed organizers and charging accessories, for the most part. Everything I’ve mentioned in the review thus far has been a standard part of the Sierra EV AT4 Max Range.

The Sierra EV AT4 has taught me an important lesson, one I’m going to pretend I didn’t already know: second chances are important. To this day, my review of the original Sierra EV is one of my harshest. I got a very angry call from GMC about it, which I don’t blame the PR person for. I’d be miffed, too.

The AT4 is a testament to two automotive truths. Firstly, vehicles aren’t set in stone once the design and engineering phases are over. They’re constantly tinkered with and refined, even after they’re launched. Secondly, a few small changes can make a holistic difference. From the outside, you wouldn’t think that changing the tires and suspension and slightly reducing the power of a vehicle would make a world of difference, but it did.

The Sierra EV AT4 Max Range may be missing some of the luxury features and trick electronics that come on the Denali, but that doesn’t stop it from being a lot better.
