Here’s What It’s Like To Wheel The GMC Sierra AT4X: The Most Luxurious Off-Road Truck Money Can Buy!

[@jonathonmcmillan9410]

That articulation is impressive! I have no use for any of the tech and luxury stuff, but I'd gladly use a truck with this kind of traction and articulation off-road. Give me a Work Truck version with the same suspension, lockers, and power and I'd be all over it.

[@SD-pi9co]

[@MoneyShot_CM]

I find it ironic that he says it's supposed to be a test of articulation yet the truck is just rocking back and forth scraping the rock rails 🤣🤣🤣

[@milesb4231]

I don’t know what to say. I’ve done this with no lockers. The real test for these trucks would be coming in the other way to start with - narrow canyon entrance and a short steep climb.

[@tjw1210]

another half ton with factory front and rear lockers, this is a good start!

[@imfloridano5448]

Still using leaf springs when a 5 lynk coil spring suspension gives a better ride. Yes leaf springs equate to carrying more weight but most folks buying the trucks use them as passenger cars.

[@MegaSpooke]

I done this with my 2019 AT4 with a 6" lift coil suspension with 35" tires don't to 18 PSI and yes the clearance and the bigger tires help ALOT and I had 0 issues

[@jimbrown7082]

I really like these trucks, I wish they weren't so expensive.

[@monkeyslap]

I'd buy one if they gave them a 3.73 axle ratio. 3.23 is good for getting groceries.

[@jibrilthegreat35]

I did the diablo drop off 6 months ago in my 2002 FX4 F150. Easy work, lol I do have the clearance and 35 inch toyo MTs. El diablo is tough for stock, low vehicles but a couple of mods and you are good to go. The MUD caves just north of el diablo drop off are amazing BTW

[@Hellenkeller777]

I think it’s the perfect truck except the tire size. Let’s be honest, most people won’t off-road with the AT4X. The ZR2 has more clearance which really helps.

[@02hreblue30]

also horrible gas mileage

[@FKelly]

The problem isn't what it came with the problem as you really can't get. 35s or can never get 37 under that truck.

[@deejayimm]

They're building some very off-road worthy pickup trucks nowadays, but does anybody else remember the not so long ago time when you actually had to be involved in the driving experience? Locking differentials, good tires, good ground clearance, and low gearing are all you need.

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

The truck did a great job for ya Andre. Thanks to you and TFL for the review of the GMC A/T4X. I agree it could use an a little more ground clearance.

[@vianad9285]

[@humblesophos]

At least it would be capable off road if it didn’t have 32” tires 🤦‍♂️ epic fail gm! gm must have missed the 1000’s of press releases about the raptors 37” tires!

[@chancecervantes51]

Going down the drop off isn’t too crazy but going up can be tough

[@9663mu]

Have to agree with Andre. It’s a shame this truck didn’t come with more tire , more ground clearance and less bumper like the ZR2. At this price , the Raptor and TRX are way ahead.

[@Hellenkeller777]

True for off-road capabilities (it does have front and rear lockers). However, the interior is what makes it so expensive IMO.

[@mybro727]

Are you seriously comparing this interior to a TRX and a Raptor? And also in the same breathe admitting the ZR2 is “way ahead” of the Raptor and ZR2 for the price? If those off-road amenities were e important to you than the luxury of the AT4X then you’d just buy the more capable less expensive Silverado. That’s sort of the point in offering them both side by side.

[@02hreblue30]

TRX is plain stupid for everyday use. mpg and permanent 4wd make it a hideous daily driver

[@kahless0173]

I'm pretty sure the dssv shocks first appeared in the Camaro Z28. Then they showed up on the Colorado. And before that they were on the Aston Martin one 77

[@bobdennis4801]

It looks like the GMC can’t go to 33 inch tires due to the sqround wheel wells. The ZR2 has more rounded wheel wells so it gets 33s.

[@TheBeatenPaths]

Everything is a trade off, you lose flexibility with larger tires.

[@terrencejones9817]

Not quote true. If you option the AT4 with 20" wheels, they end up with 33s.

I would have that face too after GMC didn’t touch the bumper like Chevy did. Wtf were they thinking

[@billymc2681]

Great looking truck! The headlight nacelles resembles the Gen 3 Raptor, in my opinion. The 32" tires are a mystery since it's corporate brother (ZR2) has 33"s. Fuel mileage thing perhaps? 🤔

[@nabatron21]

My guess is because of the stupid wheel well design and bumper. Bigger tires would most likely rub on the back of the bumper and wheel well liners

[@Slowenchiladas]

Idk what gm did but I have a feeling they are going to sell a ton of these. Extremely capable trucks with luxury. Wonder if the Tahoe and Yukon will get this treatment also. Their z71/at4’s already look great

I just cant get over that the ZR2/AT4X is just a trail boss with a 1 inch lift, multimatic shocks, front selectable locker and badges. And people are paying the premium. Raptor you can see what makes it different from the Tremor and FX4.

[@gregorysperry2016]

Andre have the same tires on my 2021 Tacoma 2wheel drive

[@TREVORJB101]

This truck had the potential to be so bad-ass, and instead we get a lukewarm version of what could've been. AT4X interior is sweet and the suspension might be great, but it still doesn't make the approach/departure angles any better or give the truck bigger tires. At least the Silverado looks the part from the front end. Both were a missed opportunity by GM, especially at the price they're asking.

[@scottmazo4816]

Hey Andre, it’s the Anza Borrego desert. And Diablo Drop off is supposed to be one-way only, down only.

[@chir0pter]

I can understand why they’d want a smaller tire- lighter so less unsprung weight to damp, plus better fuel economy- might be a winning consideration under Bidenflation. But I’m with you, 32” is not big enough and they should have just come out with a bigger dssv shock to compensate for a bigger tire

[@DUNEATV]

FJB

[@JDCheng]

Given the need to differentiate between the Silverado ZR2 and the Sierra AT4X, I'm disappointed that one of the pair didn't come with the 3.0L diesel as standard vs. the 6.2L. It would be an easy way to separate the pair, aside from styling.

[@Goodbarsix]

That’s a good looking truck!

[@dfwvtxman]

IMO truck manufacturers are making too many different models . This truck needs an option for at least 34.5's or 35's.

[@nihselauto]

If you put the ZR2 and the AT4X together, to me the AT4X is the better looking Truck.

Front and Rear lockers make all the difference. I still would get this over a Raptor or TRX. It is better for trails, not crazy wide, and is more usable for a daily. I do think they should have gone with 33s like the ZR2 and not a pretty bumper.

Why are the tires smaller on the AT4X than the Silverado ZR2. Still no official response.

[@stevedemarest276]

The people who buy the AT4-X can afford a Raptor or TRX. The AT4-X must suit them better for whatever reason. Maybe they are more concerned about tight spaces. Who knows? I was impressed Andre made it up that crazy hill without too much trouble. It's a great looking truck with some different features and more choice in the market is great. If you want 37s go get em.

[@joekane6725]

I bought mine because it is equipped similar to the Denali Ultimate interior wise and you can take it off road, where with the Denali ultimate you could due what this truck can and does.

[@johnmorrison8351]

My wife had a Raptor and traded for one of these. We drive on sand and unpaved roads regularly, though don’t do crazy off-roading. We do however deal with severe snow in the winter, which is the main appeal of these trucks to us… The interior on this is awesome, and it’s nicer than her 20 Raptor was and our 21 Yukon Denali 😒

Like the off road goodies but like someone else said GM needs to offer it in a work truck package or SLE trim. Who needs fancy seats. $70,000 isn't exactly lunch money.

[@daleliske9757]

It's impressive, but I wish GMC would've had an older truck like my 2015 Z71 crew cab for comparison, would a truck like mine, without the front locker and fancy shocks make the same climb,.? To show why you would need to spend another $35k.! I'm guessing maybe 3% of people who buy these trucks actually go to places like this to see what their truck can do.! And being that GMC already had a planned set course for you to drive on, there wasn't much of a surprise if the truck could make it.

[@dansherwood9851]

Waaay to much coin to be out beating on. Remove some of the bells and whistles, cut the cost by $15k where normal folks can afford it and sell em by the bushel. Me, I'm waiting for the revised Colorado with a nicer interior, better fuel mpg and tow capabilities and more go with the 2.7 turbo and get rid of my current 6.2 Denalli that even with the 6.2 gets better mpg than my former TRD pro taco.
