GMC goes all in on the latest off-road rough and ready AT4X and ATX4 AEV Edition versions of its already capable mid-size truck.
We're slowly dodging, weaving, and otherwise picking our way up what you could charitably call a road in a brand-spanking-newAT4X. Whoa, that rock looks huge. Should we go around it? Nope, not unless we want to flip over a cliff. We'll go over this one.
We had a chance to spend some time with AEV head man Dave Harriton, who founded the company almost 30 years ago now. He's been impressed with GMC's and GM's commitment in recent years to making its trucks supremely capable off-road, and when they came to him to form the partnership, he was game. AEV had a steep learning curve at the outset, integrating its parts into trucks being built on the factory line.
On the way down, we had a chance to hop in an AEV Edition Canyon, and although most of the experience felt familiar, we were a little more at ease thanks in large part to the additional 1.5-inch lift over the Canyon AT4X we drove up the mountain. Obstacles we weren't sure about, we simply rolled over knowing we had the extra clearance and those Boron steel plates as a backup .
