- The 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition sees more ground clearance and better off-roading chops.
- The Canyon AT4X sports new AEV wheels that are wrapped in 35 inches of Goodyear Wrangler rubber.
- GMC will start taking orders for the Canyon AT4X later this year, with pricing available closer to launch.
If you’re looking at the 2023 GMC AT4X and are thinking that it’s just not enough, well the folks at GMC and American Expedition Vehicles might have a solution. Just like the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison, the 2024 Canyon AT4X AEV comes with hardware that makes off-roading even easier and the truck more capable to conquer obstacles in the great beyond. Joining the extra capability is the off-road styling that comes with the more focused hardware.
Kicking off the conversion is a set of 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires that wrap AEV Salta wheels. These beadlock-capable rims could give users more control with tire pressure, so long as they actually use the beadlocks.
Though likely more important for some folks, the wheels help show that you sprung for the AEV package. These tires are an improvement over the factory AT4X’s 33-inch tires and should provide more clearance out on the trails.
Joining the larger tires is an extra lift. AEV is cranking up the AT4X another 1.5 inches. This extra lift likely helps make sure the tires clear the bodywork, but, like the taller tires, give you even more height. This extra clearance can help you avoid damage while hitting the trails, but, again, looks cool on the street, too.
GMC
This GMC Canyon also comes with stamped-steel AEV bumpers in the front and rear. These new bumpers give the Canyon an even better approach and breakover angles. The new front approach angle is 38.2 degrees with a 26.9-degree breakover angle. These bumpers also sport cast recovery points, and the front bumper has provisions for a winch. The bumpers are joined by high-strength, boron steel skid plates to keep your truck protected from underbody bashes.
GMC says this Canyon AT4X AEV Edition will be ready for orders later this year. GMC hasn’t hinted at the price, but count on it being more expensive than the already pricy Canyon AT4X’s $56,995 base price. It wouldn’t be a shock to have this AEV package launch this pickup north of $60,000. We’ll know for sure closer to the GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition’s launch.
