Word on the Street

GMC announced the new 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 Off-road Performance Edition, which enhances the Canyon AT4 and enables customers to confidently venture into rugged off-road environments, all while maintaining the premium comforts they have come to expect from GMC.

“When customers are looking for a capable off-road truck, we know that they want improved vehicle height as well as additional protection,” said GMC Marketing Director Rich Latek. “Whether it’s tackling die-hard off-road courses or embarking on a weekend adventure, the Canyon AT4 Off-road Performance Edition provides an improved approach angle, enhanced maneuverability and underbody protection to key parts of the truck, while still delivering a premium GMC experience.”

Standard equipment on the Canyon AT4 includes 31-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires, an off-road tuned suspension package with advanced hill descent control system and a four-wheel drive system with Eaton G80 rear automatic locking differential.

The Canyon AT4 Off-road Performance Edition builds on this foundation to provide even more capability for drivers, whether they’re venturing far off-road or navigating a trail. A factory installed suspension leveling kit and the removal of the front air dam improve the truck’s approach angle by more than

35% to nearly 30 degrees.

This increased approach angle is paired with rocker panel protectors and performance front and mid skid plates to provide increased off-road capability and maneuverability. The skid plates are made from sturdy, 5/32-inch aluminum and help protect the lower radiator, front differential, steering gear and oil pan. In combination with the transfer case shield standard on the Canyon

AT4, the Off-road Performance Edition offers the protection to the majority of the truck’s powertrain that off-road enthusiasts expect.
