GM unveiled the fully refreshed 2024 GMC Sierra HD last October, pulling the sheets on new exterior styling, an overhauled interior, and powertrain updates. Critically, the debut also included the announcement of the new GMC Sierra AT4X HD, the heavy duty pickup’s next-level off-roader trim. GM declined to fully lift the veil on the upcoming 2024 GMC Sierra AT4X HD, providing neither photos nor a list of features, but now, new GM Authority spy photos have revealed a few crucial details.
So then, what exactly makes the “seriously off-road capable” GMC Sierra AT4X HD tick? Well, for starters, these new spy photos confirm that the heavy-duty pickup will roll on some chunky 35-inch rubber, specifically a set of 305/70R18 Goodyear Wrangler Territory MTs. This compound will do well on the trail, and will be paired with significant ground clearance upgrades to back its off-roading credentials. Part of the formula will include a high-clearance front bumper for an improved approach angle, as well.
Another crucial part of the formula will be the suspension, with these new spy photos confirming that that the GMC Sierra AT4X HD will indeed run MultiMatic DSSV shocks. As seen here, the characteristic gold-and-blue MultiMatic suspension components can be found both front and rear, shooing away earlier speculation as to whether or not the next-level off-roader would ditch GM’s go-to DSSV units in favor of something else.
We’ve seen the new GMC Sierra AT4X HD out and about undergoing testing on several occasions before, including last August, and last March. These new photos, however, confirm GM’s strategy for its off-road-focused HD range.
As for the power specs, the 2024 GMC Sierra offers two engine options, including the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine, rated at 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, and the optional 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine, now rated at 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque following the most recent 2024-model-year refresh. Under the body panels, the GMC Sierra HD rides on a more-capable variant of the GM T1 platform.
Look for the upcoming 2024 GMC Sierra AT4X to launch later this year following the arrival of the first 2024 GMC Sierra HD units in dealers in Q1 of 2023.

thats what i like to see
I think that’s a compelling package and should be the best overall off-road heavy duty. I think its much better than a Tremor or Rebel. A Power Wagon can flex more but eh… I’d give that up for what I’m positive will be much better ride quality. The DSSV shocks are miles ahead of anything else on a factory HD off-road truck.
I thought all cigarettes were plant based. Is Winston going woke or something?
Still using torsion bars?
I am really wondering what the payload and tow rating will be on the DSSV shocks. I have a ’21 3500 SRW Z71. Rancho shocks went to crap after 40k. Replaced them with Bilstein 5100 series. Rides alot better then when I bought the truck new. And I had the same issue with the Rancho on my ’17 2500. If these DSSV are within the same range for payload and towing. I am going straight to the parts dept and buying some.
