There’s pictures of 2020 AT4 HD in Carbon Metallic in a current post on this forum’s Facebook page.

Yeah I tried finding it there and unfortunately I couldn't. The above picture looks not far from what I already saw...a black/gray...thanks!

What do you all think of the "black chrome" grille on the 1500 AT4 Carbon Pro? I love the charcoal gray 20" wheels, but is that gray grille too much on the black? If you all purchased a black Carbon Pro, would you leave the stock gray grille or switch out for a black?

Personal preference, but I found the black chrome trim to look a little off on a black truck. Like it was trying to match but didn't. Not enough contrast for my taste. White paint seemed like too much contrast so I chose the only other color available - satin steel. I think it looks pretty good with the 20" gray wheels.

One thing I don't like is the chrome side mirror caps that I think comes with the tech package. It's the only real chrome trim on the whole truck. I think it's just a part of the Tech package that wouldn't matter on the other trucks but on the black chrome CarbonPro it looks off. I might look around for black caps or see if I can remove the chrome caps. Not a huge thing but something I notice.

Carbon black is the color on the AT4 grill surround, etc. it’s a cool color, but I wasn’t about two wait for the “late availability” color.

I love the black chrome front end pieces. Pretty sure this would have to be my truck of choice right now.

Traded in my 2015 Silverado LT 5.3 last Saturday on the 2020 Carbon Pro in Onyx Black, love the new truck and all the features.

We need to see some pictures of your new ride.

Trading in my '19 Satin Steel AT4 tomorrow for a '20 Onyx Black AT4 Carbon Pro completely loaded, with dealer installed options: performance package, hard tri-fold tonneau, off-road steps, wheel locks, and 20" carbon gray wheels. Nothing wrong with my '19, just saw the carbon pro and had to have it. It was built on 2/12/20 in Fort Wayne and just came off the delivery truck two days ago. Taking delivery tomorrow at high noon. Very excited which is weird because I have a '19 AT4. But, the carbon pro just looks bada**. Can't wait to throw some BFG AT2's on it in a bigger size, and have fun always cleaning and polishing the black paint. 90% of my vehicles have been black, so I don't mind. It's a "work" of love

That's sweet man. I don't plan on getting out of mine for awhile. I don't want to take it in the shorts on trade-in, not to mention the money I spent in ceramic coating, tint, tires, and Borla Exhaust on this one. I need to at least get some use and enjoyment out of my upgrades.

Post some pics when you receive delivery

Thanks man! Sounds like you've done a lot to your vehicle, so I don't blame you for keeping it. What color is yours? I am considering ceramic coating mine since I live in the Northeast. And, I certainly don't blame you for wanting to get some enjoyment out your '19...it's still almost new. I am blessed in that my company provides me a very generous monthly stipend toward a car payment. Plus, they pay my insurance and gas which makes driving a beast like this more tolerable and easier to trade in my '19 for the '20. If that wasn't the case, there is no way I would be trading already

I plan to take a bunch of pics while it's freshly detailed in the delivery bay today. Lord knows it will never look like that again

Wow, that's a nice perk! They hiring lol Mine is the Silver Steel Metallic. Only a Double cab with the 5.3 though... I have to pay my own note Actually, leasing this one again. I will probably buy this one out, provided I don't start having transmission issues, or leaking window issue that can't get resolved. Fingers crossed.

I love the double cabs...they look really sporty. And no need to say ONLY the 5.3...that's a hell of an engine with more than enough power. And, do you mean silver steel metallic, or Satin steel metallic? Mine is the satin steel and haven't heard of a silver steel. I have read a little about the window leaking issue, but my '19 built on 7/4/19 nonetheless, has had no issues including leaking rear window. I hope whatever the issue is, it's been fixed before my '20 was built on 2/12/20.

I see you live in Indiana...my '20 was built at the Fort Wayne plant, and my '19 at the Mexico plant. Hope they have good build quality at Fort Wayne

Yes, Satin steel Metallic. It's late and i'm ready to go home lol (Hate working 3rd shift) I'm only about 50 min away from the GM plant. The 5.3 is plenty for what I need. It is just the Cherry on top to have the 6.2, and in 2019, the 10 speed transmission wasn't available on the 5.3, so I'm stuck with the 8 speed.

I haven't had any leaking problems yet...but there has been a large handful of people here on this forum and on FB that have. Some have been repaired successfully, others are going in for the 2nd and 3rd time. I think it all depends on the quality of the tech that is doing the repairs.

All this chatter about this truck really has me excited. Local dealer says they've a Carbon Metallic one coming off the line for them in a couple weeks, and then I hope to see it in person. From then it'll just be a decision around that color vs. Onyx Black. Other than that, after measuring the bed length, my scoot *just* fits where the back wheel sits on the tailgate-proper. Hoping I can wrangle somewhat of a good deal if this goes forward.

I think all the CarbonPros are built in Ft Wayne. The carbon bed supplier is located right outside Ft Wayne in Huntington, Indiana. This C&D article says a little more about it. My truck has been great so far - no quality issues yet. I like the idea that the truck is built in my home state.
