If you are in the market for a luxury truck in the low $60k range, you are likely staring down two heavyweights: the 2024 Ford F-150 Lariat and the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4.

At Mark Martin Motors, we recently had both of these beasts on the lot—both 2024 models with roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles. I couldn't resist putting them head-to-head. One is a turbocharged gas powerhouse with a sleek blacked-out look; the other is a diesel-sipping off-road legend with a premium feel.

If you are shopping for a premium off-road truck, GMC offers two of the best options on the market: the Sierra 1500 AT4 and the top-tier Sierra 1500 AT4X.

At a glance, these trucks look remarkably similar. They both feature aggressive stances, factory lifts, and red tow hooks. However, the price difference between them is significant, leading many buyers to ask: Is the upgrade to the AT4X actually worth it?
