Looking for a compact pickup that is easy to navigate in city driving as well as on the trail? Look no further than the sturdy but fun 2024 GMC Canyon. Let’s take a look at one of its most popular trims, the off-road ready AT4X. GMC pulled out all the stops on this fine truck!
Key Takeaways:
- The AT4X trim is the Canyon’s off-roading truck and was introduced to the lineup in 2023.
- As one of the Canyon’s higher trims, it starts at an inexpensive $44,595.
- The AT4X has many off-road enhancements to make life easier on the trail.
Does the 2024 GMC Canyon At4X Recieve a New Engine?
When the Canyon received a redesign in 2023, it saw a new powertrain, more elegant styling, and the AT4X was introduced as an off road trim and a formidable challenger to the Colorado ZR2, Tacoma TRD Pro, and Ranger Tremor.
The Canyon AT4X has a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering 310-horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. It can tow a whopping 6000 pounds; however, that drops to 5500 pounds with the Edition 1 package. A little less towing power, but still not too shabby.
What Off-Road Features Are Seen From the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X?
If you’re an off–road enthusiast, you’ll love the AT4X for its many enhancements like front and rear electronic locking differentials and multiple camera views (with underbody cameras as an option) to make time on trail that much easier.
It also has slightly more lift, as compared to other trims in the lineup. Its rugged rock slider bars, Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires, DSSV multi-valve shocks, and red recovery hooks, make it clear that this is one tough truck on the trail. To top things off, there’s also underbody protection—thanks to skid plating—and massive 33-inch tires.
What Does the Interior Look Like in the 2024 Chevy Canyon AT4X?
Sure, the truck bed can haul decent sized loads, but it also protects them from the elements, thanks to a spray-in bed liner, multiple tie-downs, and a weather-sealed storage compartment. If you need a 120-volt house outlet, it’s there for your use as well.
Inside, occupants have plenty of room to move, and storage for their belongings is ample. Two cup holders, USB ports, and an additional 120-volt house outlet are within arms reach. Heated and cooled seats and a panoramic sunroof round out this comfortable, practical and stylish picture.
Is There New Technology Seen From the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X?
The ATX’s digital gauge cluster now sits behind the steering wheel and to make things more user-friendly, the gear shift has been relocated closer to the passenger side, allowing more space for the drive-mode selection knob.
Thel dashboard displays necessary information about your journey, such as the pickup’s speed, RPMs, fuel gauge, and even maps. Most vehicles have these, of course, but do they have off-road metrics, like pitch, roll, and steering angle customized into the dashboard as you need them? For trail enthusiasts, these elements are hard to beat.
Connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is part of the infotainment system housing controls for the truck. Multiple charging options and a selector that adjusts between two-wheel drive, four-wheel high, auto, and four-wheel low modes are also included.
