I finally experienced the wide-open world of overlanding.
That said, there was one area of the truck that raised some concern ahead of our departure. GMC didn’t allow the folks behind the Expo to modify the AT4X’s unique front fascia, a compromise for removing the truck’s unique MultiPro Tailgate. The low hanging front valance is exactly the sort of thing an automaker wants for meeting, but it undeniably hurts the truck’s off-road performance capabilities.
Riding the wave of V-8 torque, I was able to confidently pilot the AT4X through the early stages of the trail. I’ll be the first to admit that a few bypasses were taken, perhaps bolstered by the knowledge Overland Expo has plans to show this truck for the rest of the year. That said, I have no doubts that the GMC could’ve tackled most of the obstacles laid before it. As concerned as I was about the front bumper, it proved to be the rear differential that I had to be mindful of.
After letting some built-up traffic make its way by, it was the GMC’s turn to make over the rocks. Everyone joined in on the road building at this point, unwilling to see the new GMC damaged. The AT4X thankfully didn’t share the same fate as the Ranger, and thanks to some help from the Ford’s winch, was able to skirt through with just a bit of paint taken off the bottom of the sliders. The situation remained tense, as the other mid-size trucks attempted their way over.
