The 2024 Sierra HD AT4X give you premium off-roading the GMC way. Building on the revamped foundation of the 2024 Sierra HD, the Sierra HD AT4X highlights are as follows:

  • Available 18,500-pound max trailering capacity
  • Factory-installed 1.5-inch (38mm) suspension lift
  • Multimatic DSSV dampers
  • Rear e-locking differential
  • 35-inch Goodyear Territory tires

To quote AEV CEO and Founder Dave Harriton:

“The Sierra HD is an ideal foundation when it comes to on-road performance, off-road capability and insane pulling power, as with the Sierra 1500 before it, we took AEV’s signature performance-driven approach and dedication to detail to elevate the aspects that off-road customers want and demand in their heavy-duty truck. The result is an awesome truck with capability and confidence in all the right spots.”

I loved the AT4X package on this truck, but I honestly see no reason to spend the money for the AEV. It seems like it is just a badge package much like the Harley Davidson of Ford trucks or GMC trucks that is all badging for an expensive cost without any real benefit. 

I am sure some will love this AEV much like some seem addicted to Harley Davidson badging on everything. I just do not get it nor see any value in it.
