What is the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X Trim?

Close-up of AT4X badging

Who says rugged off-road utility and luxury had to be mutually exclusive? Certainly not GMC, as the new AT4X trim is the bold combination of both of these elements, found as a winning trim level on the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500. The AT4X is truly the pinnacle of off-road utility and elegance, the perfect pickup truck for those here in Airdrie who equally traverse city streets as well as the Alberta backcountry. If you’re not too familiar with all that makes up the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X trim, that’s where our Davis Chevrolet team comes in to introduce it to you. Read on as we outline all of the top features of this trim, from style to tech to performance.

Top-Level Performance & Capability

When it comes to the AT4X, we know you’re first going to be looking at what exactly the kinds of power and utility this pickup can create. You will find a 6.2L V8 engine under the hood, able to reach 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, for all of your power-hungry needs. The AT4X is more than just raw power when it comes to ability, as this pickup has been specifically tuned with its off-road chassis for off-the-beaten-path travel. Damping is controlled through three different spool valves as part of the Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers, along with three linked chambers for seamless flow of fluid. You’ll always ride comfortably, thanks to perfectly tuned springs, a Terrain Mode that adapts to specific off-road driving conditions, as well as front and rear e-locking differentials to help control that wheel spin is in unity.

Luxurious Exterior

You won’t be able to miss the AT4X badging that immediately makes known what calibre of Sierra 1500 you’re riding with. 18-inch gloss black aluminum wheels frame the vehicle, providing a dynamic look that elevates the style but also readies for adventure. A dark nickel finish on the grille continues this rugged yet elegant look on the front of the pickup. The 2023 edition of the AT4X is newly inspired by the AEV edition, adding on an AEV-stamped steel front bumper with winch ability, updated front fascia and grille design (gloss black upper with those dark nickel inserts), bigger 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires and an ultra-high-strength boron steel front approach skid plate.

Premium Interior

Step into the luxurious interior with an Obsidian Rush colour, further accented by full-grain leather seats with fine-detail red and white double-needling stitching so you can truly tell the detail put into this trim, and accented by technical-grained leather accents. Speaking of those sumptuous seats, those in the front will enjoy 16-way capabilities as well as a massage function. The leather theme continues with a premium-trimmed instrument panel, while the door panels are touched with a Vanta Ash wood trim in a black finish. Touching off the rest of the interior is a microsuede headliner, sun visors and pillars. Score your entire journey with a 12-speaker Bose premium series sound system with Centerpoint surround sound.
