For Florida drivers looking to take their adventures off the beaten path, the GMC AT4 and AT4X trims offer rugged features and capable performance. But what's the difference between these two trims, and which one is the best fit for your needs? Here's a closer look at how the AT4 and AT4X stack up.
AT4 Trim Features
Available on the new GMC Sierra 1500 and GMC HD models, such as the new GMC Sierra 2500 HD, the AT4 trim is engineered for off-road excitement. It comes standard with a 2-inch factory-installed suspension lift for increased ground clearance when taking on rocks and ruts. Protective skid plates shield vital components from damage on the trails.
The AT4 also features an AutoTrac two-speed transfer case for optimal traction and a locking rear differential to power through loose surfaces. All-terrain tires provide dependable grip in sand, mud, and gravel, making the AT4 well-suited for adventures at Daytona Beach or exploring backroads near Orlando.
Exclusive AT4X Upgrades
For the ultimate in off-road readiness, the AT4X takes GMC's most rugged trim to the next level. It builds on the AT4's equipment with DSSV spool-valve dampers, delivering exceptional responsiveness and control over punishing terrain. Terrain Mode, exclusive to AT4X, optimizes performance for specific off-road situations with settings for rocks, ruts, sand, and mud.
Inside the AT4X, sporty Obsidian Rush interior trim sets the mood for adventurous excursions. Heated and ventilated 16-way power front seats keep you comfortable on long treks to remote campsites or job sites across Florida. From the urban streets of Orlando to off-grid expeditions, the AT4X is equipped to handle any challenge.
Capable Towing and Hauling
While they excel off-road, the AT4 and AT4X trims are also hard-working trucks ready for tough tasks. When properly equipped, the Sierra 1500 AT4 can tow up to 11,800 pounds, while the Sierra HD AT4 and AT4X offer a maximum towing capacity of 18,500 pounds. That's enough strength to confidently pull a large camping trailer, boat, or heavy equipment around Daytona Beach and beyond. While AT4X models offer more capability than the AT4 versions, they may also cost around $12,000 more.
