The 2024 Canyon AT4X Blazes Ahead with Off-Roading Tools

The GMC Canyon AT4X – An Off-Roading Toolbox

The GMC Canyon shares a lot of similarities with its corporate GM sibling, the Chevy Colorado. Still, as is the case with most big brothers, the Canyon’s robust capabilities outstrip the Colorado. For the 2024 model year, that’s most apparent in the Canyon AT4X and AT4X AEV trim levels. Both offer a bevy of off-road features that make the Canyon an overlanding toolbox capable of tackling any terrain or rocky challenges; in fact, the reputable Car and Driver called the truck “rock-ready trail basher,” and we think it’s an apt description. Keep reading to find out why.

The GMC Canyon – Off-Road Powerhouse

Before we get into the AT4X off-road features that make the GMC Canyon a trail-ready masterpiece of engineering, you have to appreciate the raw power this mid-size truck has right out of the box. Under the hood, the 2024 Canyon sports a 2.7-liter four-cylinder high-output engine that cranks out 310 ponies and 430 lb-ft of torque. That gives the Canyon enough power to tow up to 7,700 pounds when it’s properly equipped. Need to bring along a boat, camper, or a couple of ATVs? Just hitch them to the back; the Canyon can handle it.

GMC Canyon AT4X Off-Road Features

Now for the main attractions. The AT4X trim includes Multimatic DSSV spool valve dampers. These durable shock absorbers provide superior control and stability across uneven terrain for a ride that’s comfortable even on the rockiest trails.10.7 inches of ground clearance and 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler territory Mud Terrain tires further enhance the AT4X’s off-road prowess. In addition, there are electronic locking front and rear differentials, giving you the traction you need at the touch of a button, so navigating complicated areas becomes a breeze. Skid plates, rock sliders, a Terrain mode, and a 10-camera surround-view system that includes waterproof underbody cameras top off the AT4X’s features.

GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Upgrade

Upgrading to the AEV trim gets you even more equipment for taking on the wilderness. While it’s not a military tank, GM’s partnership with American Expedition Vehicle allowed them to outfit the Canyon in enough protective gear to be the civilian version. Steel front and rear bumpers improve the Canyon’s approach, departure, and breakover angles, while bigger 35-inch tires boost the ground clearance to 12.2 inches. All AT4X AEV models come with three auxiliary connections for aftermarket upfitting.

GMC Canyon Tech and Safety Features

As far as infotainment technology goes, the AT4X AEV model comes with three standard or available driver-focused screens – an 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment center, an 11-inch driver information center, and a 6.3-inch head-up display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, as well as satellite radio and a Wi-Fi hotspot, keeping you connected and entertained no matter how far you stray from the pavement. Keeping you safe, whether you’re commuting to work or exploring the wilderness, is a comprehensive suite of features that include lane-departure warning, rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control.
