AEV Hardware and Geometry

The AEV Edition is designed to conquer obstacles that would stop other midsize pickups. With steel bumpers, advanced skid plates, and a taller factory lift, the Canyon AT4X AEV Edition boasts superior approach, breakover, and departure angles. Every piece of hardware is engineered for durability and function, ensuring the truck is ready for rock crawling, steep climbs, and deep ruts without the need for aftermarket modifications.

• Steel bumpers: AEV front and rear steel bumpers include integrated recovery points and front winch capability for trail emergencies.
• Skid plate protection: Five hot-stamped boron steel skid plates protect the radiator, steering gear, transmission, transfer case, fuel tank, and rear differential.
• Lift and geometry: 4.5-inch factory lift increases ground clearance and improves approach angle to 38.2 degrees, breakover to 26.9 degrees, and departure to 26.0 degrees.
• Wheels and tires: AEV beadlock-capable 17-inch Salta wheels paired with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory mud-terrain tires.

Chassis and Powertrain

Underneath the bodywork, the AT4X AEV Edition builds on GMC’s proven off-road technology. The Multimatic DSSV dampers provide precise control in challenging conditions, while electronic locking differentials ensure traction even when one wheel leaves the ground. With the TurboMax engine, the Canyon delivers both strong horsepower and torque, making it capable of hauling heavy loads and climbing steep grades with ease.

• Multimatic DSSV dampers: Off-road tuned suspension provides stability over uneven terrain and high-speed control on washboard trails.
• Locking differentials: Standard front and rear electronic lockers deliver maximum traction in mud, sand, and snow.
• TurboMax engine: 2.7L I-4 produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
• Towing strength: When properly equipped, the AT4X AEV Edition tows up to 5,500 pounds, perfect for small campers and utility trailers.
