2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X Specs

Let’s start by looking at the impressive specs of the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X before considering the upgrades that come with the new AEV edition. The new Sierra 1500 AT4X truck lineup represents the peak of premium pickup off-roading performance, thanks to enhancements you won’t find elsewhere.

For starters, the new Sierra 1500 AT4X trucks feature a factory-installed 2-inch suspension lift and an exclusive suspension setup that includes Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers and uniquely tuned springs. The result is an off-road truck with increased ground clearance and front and rear suspension travel for taking on the toughest terrain.

The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X specs are stellar, thanks partly to its 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 engine. Its powerful eight-cylinder engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring effortless acceleration, whether cruising at highway speeds or tackling rugged rock-packed trails.

The powerful V-8 generates 460 pound-feet of torque, making it easy to tow heavy loads. The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X towing capacity is rated up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped. So, when you’re not exploring two-track trails or seeking off-road adventure in this pickup, you’ll have the on-road capability for towing and hauling, just like other Sierra 1500 models.

Exclusive Sierra 1500 AT4X AEV Edition Features

Some of the highlights of the first-ever AEV Edition of the 2023 Sierra 1500 AT4X model are the stamped-steel bumpers, front and rear. These new front and rear bumpers are not only powder-coated and e-coated for a rugged appearance and enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, but they also help improve the approach and departure angles of this all-terrain truck.

Complementing the AT4X AEV Edition’s stamped-steel bumpers are a host of hot-stamped Boron steel skid plates that protect critical components during your off-roading adventures. These plates are 3.5 times stronger than equivalent cold-stamped steel and provide enhanced protection for the truck’s:

  • Steering gear
  • Transfer case
  • Fuel tank
  • Rear differential
