GMC reveals its Canyon AT4 OVRLANDX concept truck at Overland Expo Mountain West 2021 in Loveland, CO, exploring the brand’s vision for its growing lineup of premium trucks and SUVs.
Building on the capability of Canyon AT4, the concept further elevates Canyon’s off-road credibility by showing how it can be customized for an overlanding enthusiast, GMC says.
The Canyon AT4 OVRLANDX concept truck is designed for overlanding enthusiasts, with capability features that include:
Factory-lifted, wide off-road chassis with enhanced underbody coverage
Off-road rocker panel protectors
Cast-iron control arms
Heavy-duty front bumper with winch
Integrated front recovery points
Front and rear electronic locking differentials
Wheel flares with integrated task lamps
Multimatic DSSV dampers
Spare tire swivel mount so a spare tire can be kept on the back of the truck and swivel out of the way of the tailgate when bed access is needed
Guy lines for protecting the windshield from low-hanging branches
Power is provided by GMC’s 3.6L V-6 mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The concept truck could take on a variety of obstacles with a 27.7-degree approach angle and a ground clearance of 10.0 ins. (25 cm), boosted by 33-in. BFGoodrich KM3 Mud-Terrain tires on 17-in. AEV Crestone wheels. The vehicle could engage in water fording up to 32.1 ins. (82 cm), and its custom-tailored snorkel could allow for filtered and cooler air intake, GMC says.
“We wanted to showcase GMC Canyon with this concept and punctuate GMC’s commitment to premium, off-road capable vehicles. Consumer reaction to this concept’s design will help us further serve the growing market of buyers leading authentic outdoor lifestyles,” says Duncan Aldred, Buick & GMC global vice president.
GMC first introduced AT4 in its Sierra light-duty pickup truck in 2019.
