AEV & the New 2023 GMC Sierra 1500: Dominating All Land

With a never-ending hunger for off-road dominance, GMC’s partnership with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) has given birth to a sweet GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X, which levels beyond the high-end AT4 trim.  

Asserting dominance on tough terrains, GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X runs on a standard 6.2L V8 powertrain, generating a massive 420 hp while feeding all wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission. 

Unrelenting Power & Command 

While you can spot AEV’s signature across steel front and rear bumpers, headrests, and fine floor liners, this off-road giant rests on 18-inch alloy wheels inside large 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires and five steel skid plates 3.5 time stronger than cold-stamped equivalents.  

With such a level of resistance, all vital machinery like the steering gear, rear e-locking differentials, fuel tank, and a two-speed transfer case can function smoothly under a solid layer of underhood protection. Besides power and performance, larger tires as well as new bumpers stylishly blend with gloss black door handles, a redesigned front fascia, and a black inner tailgate. 

Luxury & Grace 

Inside the elaborate Obsidian Rush cabin, you can comfortably rest in full-grain seats with detailed red and white double stitching while enjoying power-massage capabilities at the front. While leather trim sits nicely on the instrument panel, an authentic Vanta ash wood trim on the door panels breathes a sense of luxury inside. 

Of course, interior work doesn’t end there. Technical-grained leather accents, 16-way power seats, and a fine stretch of microsuede covering the headliner, pillars, and sun visors emanate a high-class cabin vibe. As a final touch, GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X offers 40 inches of digital displays and a stellar acoustic experience with a 12-Speaker Bose premium series with Centerpoint surround sound.  

So, it’s no wonder why GMC’s Global VP, Duncan Aldred, believes “GMC has been a pioneer in premium off-road space and this Sierra 1500 AT4X AEV Edition raises the bar yet again.” 

Cutting-Edge AEV Improvements  

In line with a vast range of enhancements, AEV has given this full-size truck superior off-road abilities and novel features in areas such as ground clearance, break-over angles, departure angles, and chassis. 

One specific AEV improvement is an optional bolt-on step assist for times when you’re not off-road cruising. Another notable feature is Terrain Mode, working optimally in slow, off-road terrains and gives drivers total control and command to only use the accelerator when crawling over rocks with one pedal.  

Plus, thanks to Multimatic DSS spool-valve dampers, AEV has made Sierra 1500 AT4X even more robust with 11.2-inch ground clearance and using new AEV-stamped bumpers, the approach/departure/break-over angles have improved to 32.5/23.4/23 degrees. 

While unique tuning on springs provides optimal front and rear suspension travel, front and rear e-locking differentials allow Sierra 1500 AT4X drivers to spin both wheels together and maintain traction on rough roads. As of now, none other than this commanding truck offers such a combination. 

The All New GMC 2023 Sierra 1500 AT4X’s price is undoubtedly a loud and clear statement by GMC, showing you can power through anything with class and style, a perfect match for our Texan spirit.
